Kathy expresses concern and love for family members and possesses other positive attributes, such as being inquisitive and independent. She, and the other characters, are not all bad, though. When a childhood friend she runs into asks if he can take her out to eat, for instance, her potential responses range from "No" to telling him she'd rather eat a foot - without any positive options. While Kathy's caustic persona is in line with the edgy, somewhat dark mood and subject matter, her behavior isn't always exemplary - in addition to professing a love for smoking, her comments range from slightly sarcastic to borderline disrespectful.

In some instances, though, players will be told they've already spoken with the person about that topic - or a message can appear letting them know Kathy doesn't feel the need to show another character a specific item. As a result, they may need to circle back to places they've already been and hunt again for clues - and they may find themselves repeating a conversation with a character.
