Trivia

- While Kat prefers they/them as their pronouns, they aren't opposed to he/him and she/her. They feel both genders at the same time instead of different points, but they do teeter between being more masculine and more feminine at different points in time. 

- Inline skates are their favorite kind of transportation. If you're a rare hunter, chances are you'll be seeing how well Kat can put them to use. 

- Their love for martial arts and their Japanese surname (Saotome) is a nod to the character Ranma Saotome from the anime Ranma 1/2. They share the dub voice actress Sarah Stange as well. Kat's sub voice actress is the late Shiho Niiyama, for her role as Seiya Kou/Sailor Star Fighter from the anime Sailor Moon.
