In late [[2551]], NOBLE Team were deployed to the colony world of [[Concord]] to assist in the planet's defence against the Covenant threat, working alongside the [[UNSC Army Rangers]] and [[Concordian militia]] forces across the planet. By 1405 [[Military Standard Time|MST]] on December 12, the [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] dropship ferrying the team had been downed in the [[Hinterlands region]] of Concord following a snowstorm, resulting in NOBLE making their way to the remote township of [[Skathi]] on foot. While in Skathi, Kat was tasked with running a supply inventory for the town to figure out what assets were on hand to prepare a defence until evacuation could reach the town. Upon receiving word that a large Covenant [[warhost]] was assembling to attack Skathi with a {{Pattern|Zashk|Draugr}}, Kat was quick to put together a plan even despite the team's limited munitions pool and lack of reinforcements - requiring only a single [[M862 Arctic Warthog]] and two additional members of NOBLE - [[Rosenda-A344]] and [[Thom-A293]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=WC|Halo: Winter Contention}}

Kat's plan of attack, termed [[Operation: OFFSET EYE]], was to involve Kat driving the Warthog with Rosenda and Thom close enough to the inbound enemy force for Thom to [[hijack]] an enemy [[Ghost]] and use it to distract the Draugr's [[focus cannon]] fire, while Kat drove the Warthog off a rocky outcropping into the troop carrier's cargo bay. Once inside the Draugr, Kat and Rosenda proceeded to make short work of the vehicle's crew and security detail before reaching the [[bridge]] and extending the boarding ramp to allow Thom to board. With all three Spartans inside, they formulated their next plan; use the captured Draugr to finish off the remains of the Covenant armoured column and then the remaining infantry. By 2100 MST, the three Spartans - and their captured Draugr - had successfully returned to Skathi unharmed in time for a new set of orders from Colonel [[Urban Holland]]. With intelligence reports of Covenant forces massing in the [[Volanus system]], NOBLE was retasked to the colony of [[Fumirole]] in the hopes of intercepting a potentially inbound enemy attack there. While Rosenda was reassigned away from NOBLE, Kat was one of the team members kept on the team for the upcoming engagement at Fumirole.{{Ref/Reuse|WC}}

Kat generally exhibited a sardonic attitude and had a dry sense of humor. She was described as brilliant, athletic,{{Ref/Reuse|KatHW}} an inspired tactician and exemplary combatant. She was also noted for her skills as a cryptanalyst and a hacker; allegedly, there had not been a system yet that she has been unable to crack. According to Colonel Urban Holland, she had a habit of occasionally investigating classified intel more than her superiors would like her to. Her ability to acquire and digest information has been described as "supernatural"; more than once, she was able to read a situation, working with information many would find overly limited.{{Ref/Reuse|bnet}}

Following the loss of her right arm in the [[Battle of Fumirole]], Kat instead made use of an [[Artificial limb|robotic prosthetic]] replacement arm. Accordingly, she used an "up-sized" variant of the [[M6G magnum]] specially designed for use by Spartans, with further custom modifications made tailored for use with her prosthetic arm.{{Ref/Book|EVG|Page=116}}

As shown in an early production note at PAX 2010, Kat was originally intended to have been born in [[2529]] and to have been a member of [[SPARTAN-III Alpha Company|Alpha Company]]. In this version of the story, she and Carter were the last remaining members of a SPARTAN-III team known as "Blue Team", (not to be confused with the [[Blue Team|SPARTAN-II unit]]).

According to the ''[[Halo: Reach Legendary Edition]]'' developer commentary, due to a glitch early in the game's development, Kat laughed when the player killed [[moa]], as she was programmed to occasionally laugh when the player killed Covenant forces.{{Ref/YouTube|-GpmmyrmhJc|Sacharified|Halo Reach Legendary Edition - Developer Commentary Part 1}} Later during the commentary, [[Lee Wilson]] jokes that Carter was upset by Kat's death because ''"She was cute."''
