FIRST IMPRESSION: "She's like a breath of fresh air, that Katie Marshall."
PERSONALITY: Katie has a positive shell around her that draws a variety of people to her from various walks of life. She's very secure in herself and who she is, but she second guesses herself frequently and, in her mind, her personality has plenty of room for improvement. She is the worst kind of perfectionist. It takes her hours to do her homework every night because she checks and double checks it. She's very peculiar about things and her room is so neat it almost doesn't look lived in. Things like cooking and cleaning help to relax her. She's musically inclined, as is her whole family, and can play basically anything on the piano. Her true passion, however, is mixing music and she hopes to become a DJ and maybe even own her own nightclub one day.

Music is the one thing she feels she can really let go and lose herself in and it's perfect for her because, though she works very hard to project an image of perfection, her mind is scattered, disorganized, and sorely in need of focus sometimes. She spaces out often, thinks perhaps just a little too much, and enjoys observing people. She's fascinated by other people and how they relate to one another and would rather watch a conversation than actively participate in it. She's a little too passive sometimes, calmly watching friendships break and relationships fail before it really hits her what just happened. Her tendency to detach herself from real life can sometimes annoy her friends, who need her right when she's spacing out, but once she comes back to herself, she'll be more than willing to help however she can.

She's got a quirky and off-beat sense of humor, able to talk about anything, anytime, anywhere. She can say the most random and/or disgusting things in a deadpan voice and without batting an eyelash and sometimes it is hard to tell whether she is being serious or not. The mischievous sparkle in her eye always gives her away, however. She relies on herself before anyone else and can come off as headstrong and too independent, perhaps even a little snobby, but she's really anything but. She listens better than almost anyone else and has a gift for making whoever is talking feel like they are the only one in the world that means something to her. No matter how horrible or stupid a situation or problem is, Katie is capable of listening without judging. If you've gotten yourself into trouble, she will offer to cover you or help you get out of it, mostly with no questions asked. Understanding is one of her most defining traits.

Katie loves theater and tries out for plays as often as she can, loving to dress up and be on stage in front of people. She likes the attention because it makes her feel important and less lost in the shuffle the way she kind of gets buried at home with all her brothers and sisters. She constantly struggles with her feelings of inadequacy, but she hides it well behind her engaging smiles and off-beat thoughts. She's very modest, never bragging about herself, but able to take compliments gracefully. She's also very intelligent, studying often to keep her grades in school high. She's fun to be around and loves to go out and party with her friends, loving excitement just as much as the next person. She's often called upon to DJ at parties around the neighborhood and she does her job with pride.

She carries herself well and holds her head high with a confidence and maturity that is unusual for girls her age. Katie's very polite around adults and, to some extent, around her peers, but it doesn't take long for her personality to shine through. She hates pretending to be anyone other than who she is, even if she isn't quite sure who that is yet, just as much as she hates lying and being lied to. She's trustworthy, responsible, and just a generally good friend to have. She works hard on each of her relationships, putting a lot of time and effort into keeping people close, and her friends mean the world to her. Hurt one of them, and Katie will make you hurt as well.

PARENTS: David Marshall (car dealer) and Lucy Marshall (real estate agent).
THEIR RELATIONSHIP: David and Lucy are very loving and affectionate. I mean, they have fourteen kids Doesn't that say it all?
SIBLINGS: She has thirteen of them: Alvin (38), Suzy (32), Francine (29), Vincent (26), Ophelia (25), Benjamin (23), Rudy (22), Jacki (21), Steve (19), Quinn (14), Evan (12), Penny (9), and Owen (2). She fits in somewhere between Steve and Quinn.
FAMILY DYNAMICS: Since Steve has recently moved out to attend college in New York, that makes Katie the oldest one in the house and also the one who has to take care of everyone else. She's more or less always been doing that, though, so it's not much different. With all of these children to help her mom and dad take care of, she often gets lost in the shuffle.

PERSONAL HISTORY: Kaitlin Marshall was born the tenth child of Lucy and David Marshall in Forks, Washington. Despite the fact that five of her brothers and sisters had already moved out of the house, whether to go to college or to get jobs, there were still enough children left that Katie did not get as much attention as she probably should have. Katie alternated between being picked on and teased by her older brothers and being ignored and teased by her older sisters. Most days, she was able to hold her own, but other days, it was just generally a huge pain in the rear. It didn't help that her parents did not, in fact, quit while they were ahead. Lucy just kept popping out babies. Soon, Katie had Quinn, Evan, Penny, and Owen to look after.

Having younger brothers and sisters forced her to become very responsible very fast and Katie took it upon herself to help her mother and father raise them since her mother and father had jobs and lives. She grew into a mature and multitalented youth, able to cook and play piano with the same two hands. Though Katie was very intelligent and won numerous awards at school, her parents didn't have much time to do much more than accomplish her which, in a very sad kind of way, taught her modesty and not to flaunt her accomplishments. She viewed them with the same kind of happy indifference her parents did, which helped since she wasn't the only one in the family winning things.

Everyone in Katie's family was musically inclined in some way, like Quinn, who could sing like an angel, or Alvin, who played the violin expertly, and Katie's instrument of choice was the piano. She was taught by her older sister Ophelia, also a pianist, but, despite the fact that she became very good at it, Katie's true interest lied with DJing. Her siblings chipped in to buy her her own turntable (and her own sewing machine, which she only began to make use of in the last few years) and Katie taught herself how to use it. She's been mixing at parties and in the privacy of her own room ever since. There's no song that can't be made better, in her opinion, with a little record scratching.

When she turned fourteen, Katie was sent to Forks High School, the same as her brothers and sisters since it was pretty much the only school in the town. Katie made it through freshman year without incident and the first part of sophomore year, during which she became involved with Eric Yorkie, a geeky, but rather adorable junior she developed a crush on.
