Background
Kitty (Katherine)
Archetype: Cult Leader
The genetically modified zealot who worships a weapon as a god
Kitty embodies the cult leader archetype - the charismatic figure who inspires devotion in followers - but subverts it through her genetic modifications and worship of a living weapon. Unlike traditional cult leaders who claim divine connection, Kitty recognizes divinity in Akiko's cycle of death and rebirth through cloning, creating a religion that merges technology, identity, and spirituality in the cyberpunk world of Horizon City.

Subversion of Archetype
Kitty subverts the cult leader archetype in several key ways:
-
The Leader Who Serves: Rather than demanding service from her followers, Kitty positions herself as serving Akiko, their god.
-
The Prophet Who Doesn't Prophesy: Unlike typical cult leaders who claim special knowledge or visions, Kitty attributes prophecy to Tricia and focuses on action rather than prediction.
-
The Extremist With a Point: Her belief in Akiko's divinity, while extreme, is based on the observable reality of Akiko's repeated death and rebirth through cloning.
-
The Revolutionary Disguised as Religious: Her religious movement has practical goals - freeing Akiko from Yakuza control and changing the power structure of Horizon City.
Role in the Corporate Game
Kitty functions as a disruptor in the corporate game. By transforming the Razorboys into the Razorgirls and eliminating "toxic males," she creates a female-led organization that challenges the patriarchal power structures of Horizon City. Her worship of Akiko represents a rejection of corporate values that treat people as disposable assets. By helping Akiko join the Horizon City board, she infiltrates the system rather than merely opposing it from outside. Her genetic modifications represent her commitment to transcending human limitations, both physical and social.
