Born Katherine Aelwen Lin. For the record, she rarely allows “Kate.” Merlin’s niece, she currently lives somewhere in America, having fled her home in Wales. She’s actually a lot more powerful than she thinks she is, but she can’t afford to acknowledge it. Katie wants no part of the drama. The only way to avoid it is to hide. In general circles (and with some humor), she is called “the Lost Lin,” thanks to an incident involving prophecies, a broken wall, and spilled time.
