Katia started skating at age 6 in Princeton and made wonderful progress. She moved to Kensington 10 years later to advance farther in her skating career. She is usually a very happy person, always willing to listen to people and try to help them out. She can be very loud and outgoing, but in front of certain people, just goes silent. Just like everyone, she has her character flaws. She can be impatient at times, and always plots revenge, although she never acts on it.
