She is Ellie's best friend having spent their childhood together. She has a relationship with Kevin but is concerned it is holding her back from experiencing all the world has to offer. Pre-invasion she is thinking of busting up with Kevin as she is not ready to settle down with him and his carefully laid out plan for the future.
She wants to experience more but for her these plans are cut brutally short. Kevin is cocky and arrogant. He is the eldest of the group and he has his life planned. He is the one who feels the most connected to the land that was taken by the invaders. His vengeful nature causes rifts between him and the group however, his loyalty to Corrie is his redemption.

They were happy for a long time; at least she thought he was happy… but he wasn't, so Kath suggested they have a break and he head home. Kath was heartbroken when he didn't come back but kept herself together for Corrie, and moved on. Kath notices the elderly and the mothers with small children who are lacking in basic supplies like nappies and medications and are more distressed than she is.
