It was from that point on she got the moniker Songbird. Her voice was sweet and melodious that carried an emotion that could only been felt when she began.

After the invasion by the empire and Welrin was subjugated. Kate would lament and sing into the night. Her voice slowly but surely came to represent the spirit of Welrin. It wasnt until the first recording was taken and played over the radio that her voice became known by all in free city.

Seeing her rising as a potential threat to unite the broken citizens. The Empire General von Brausen decided on a drastic action. Kate was kidnapped as she walked the streets one morning and forced before a wall in town square. She was to be executed by firing squad.
