Background and History
Katy Swartz lived in Florida with her family until her father died of cancer and, after three years, her mother decides to move to West Virginia. There Katy discovers that her neighbours are quite not quite who they seem to be, and her life changes forever.
Physical Description
Katy has mousy brown hair, lightly tanned skin and heather grey eyes, which Daemon, upon meeting her, described as "intelligent". In Obsidian, she mentions she has curvy hips, puffy lips and large eyes, making her think she looks like a demented kewpie doll. In reality though, Katy is exceptionally pretty, with big eyes and a full mouth - she has an air of innocence to her appearance making her seem younger than she is. One would say she is doll-like, especially considering her lack of height.According to Daemon she seems like a vaccant doll.
Personality
Katy is portrayed as a spunky teen who is just trying to get through high school. Equipped with a sharp tongue, Katy happily lobs verbal grenades at Daemon, engaging with him head on, demonstrating her strength of character. She finds comfort in reading different books and updating her book blog, and gardening since she finds it be calming. She cares for all of her friends and will stick up for them no matter what the circumstance, and deeply loves her mother. She is very kind, strong, and takes care of her family and friends.
Relationships
Dee Black: Katy and Dee Black have a decent relationship. They met at a grocery store, the one that Daemon told her the directions to. At first, she was helping Katy do some gardening for Katy’s back year. They are best friends and spend most of their time together up until Adam is killed, putting a large strain on their relationship and it causes Dee to ignore her for a while. They make up after Katy is captured by Daedalus.
Daemon Black: Katy and Daemon Black have had a slightly complicated relationship. In the beginning, Katy described Daemon as arrogant and annoying, but when ever a mental insult came about, as did a compliment. During the first few interactions between them, she would often get distracted by his looks. After a while, Katy pushes through the barrier that he puts up and the two end up getting along. In Onyx Daemon has to prove his feelings for Katy by the end of the book they are dating.Daemon deeply loves her and he can do anything for her. In Opal they have some arguments but other than that they're fine until Katy is captured by Daedalus. By the end of Origin they are married.
Simon: He asks her to the dance, and she says “yes.” Then Daemon goes all protective of her, and tries to talk her out of going and starting a relationship with him. They go together to the dance, but their relationship ends just about there.
Blake: Aka: surfer dude. He claims to Katy that she and him are mutated humans. That she and him are not normal humans. He starts to take her out on dates and she agrees to have practice sessions to get her to control her new powers. One day, he throws a knife at her, testing to see if she could freeze the knife, and she gets freaked out about it. Later on, he brings her outside the range of the quartzite to an Arum. That brings Katy super mad at him for almost killing her, and she regrets not listening to Daemon about not trusting Blake. Then she kills Blake later on because the DOD force her, and she was already mad at him. So, this wasn’t hard for her to do, but later on she has guilt for killing him. She regrets it even though she thought that he was a total jerk.
