Kate Gambler is a an antagonist within the fanfictions "Desire for the Devil's Seed"
"Desire for the Devil's Seed: ReVamped" and the secondary anti-villan in the upcoming
fanfiction "The Gambler Type". She also plays as the main character in the upcoming
comic "A Gambler's Beginning".
Kate is often depicted bare naked(with body hair of course) and is littered
in scars from the Heretic's blood orgies, worsening her physical and mental
trauma as time went on. The scar on her right eye is from a previous fight
between her and Marta, her eye had been sliced into, missing her brain by a
hair. Her skin is medium, pale, olive. Her teeth are rotten and is covered in
blood. Whether it's due to gingivitus or from eating human flesh is often
unspecified. It's most likely both.
Kate is often stoic, agressive, violent, and has an ill view towards religion. Not
much of her is known within the current fanfics released, but it's shown she's
aggressive and resilient as it's shown within the fanfiction "Desire for the Devil's
Seed" both the original and the revamped verion, she fights off an unnamed religious
fanatic. While she looses an arm, she manages to kill the fanatic, even with her one
attached arm.
In her childhood, Kate had lived with her family, her twin sister
Chloe, and her parents in a rural, conservative town "DoveWing".
She and her family lived together for quite some time. Her family once took
a trip to the city, despite her step-mother's objections. During the trip,
she met a stranger she found out was deaf. She learned ASL(American Sign
Language) from the girl before being pulled away from her. She was scolded
for talking to the girl along with wonderingoff. Though, her mother wasn't as
harsh on her. One day after her father left the house for work, her mom had
been murdered by an imfamous serial killer "Eric Gunner" in front of both her
and her sister.They were both tied and bound to a wooden chair and were unable
to break free until their father came home to the sight of his wife's killer,
his wife's body lying on the ground and his two daughters tied to a chair. He
was knocked out before he had a chance to respond to the situation.
Time went by and the wounds were still fresh. Despite this, their father
remarried and was welcomed into the family quickly to "keep up appearances". Kate
had an undeniable disdain toward her step-mother as she argued hanging out with
Travis was "asking for trouble". Her father took her step-mom's side. She had shared
a horror movie she gotten from one of the stores she visited in the city with Travis,
igniting his love for gore. he was clueless to how he felt about her. He almost told
her only for her step-mom to burst into Travis' home and snatch Kate away before he had
any chance of confessing his love for her. Between the fall out and the reputation of being
a single mother(despite the circumstances), Travis' mother decided to move away with Travis.
Time went by and a man Kate never seen before caught her eye. She became infactuated with
him almost immediately. She learns her name is Xavier DoveWing and he is the local priest's
adoptive son(something he "was supposed to keep a secret").
One year into the relationship, despite the age gap(around this time,
she was 14 he was 17). He managed to "convince" her to sleep with him, him being her
first time, but leaving her with an "empty" feeling. She talked to her friend Jill about
the issue. She talked to them about it only for the topic to be dismissed. She was then
asked about lesbianism and if it was right to feel anything about it. She tries a few
things with them only to be left with a silence that spoke loudly. They were both unaware
of Xavier listening into the conversation from outside. Rumor spread that she was a
"Harlot seducing men and women alike", which causes a chain reaction. Jill had stopped
talking to her, and her father began to hate her for "giving our family a bad name".
Chloe was the only one that come to her aid only to to shut down by their step-mom
(of course with their father backing her up).
Tensions began to rise when word got out that her step-mother was cheating, earning
her a harsh slap. She punches her pack, knocking her to the floor. Seeing father's
disappointed face, she lost any hope in having a decent relationship with her father.
She waited until nightfall to run away, leaving Chloe behind.
She found her way to Temple Gate to encounter some religious fanatics. They cornered
her only to be saved in the last moment by a group of Heretics. She's taken in, being
given the idea she was rescued only to realize she's being annointed into the cult.
She's assaulted like the remaining women within the blood orgies she's involuntarily
partakes in, leaving her bleeding, bruised and scratched up. Hunter reaches
out to her to be shoved away from a vomiting Kate and he comes back to her trying to
communicate for her to realize he's mute after he writes in some mud with his finger that
reads "Can't speak with my mouth". She suggests teaching him ASL. Not being able to teach
enough to communicate, she quits until she finds a worn out ASL book during a mission.
She brings it back to Hunter. Months go by and she is completely annoited, her shoulder
etched with a hot sharp knife, giving her the Heretic's insignia. Years passed and
Kate develops a "loving" relationship with Hunter. One day during a fight, Hunter
steps in the way to be stabbed in the chest. His death left her heartbroken.
In Desire for the Devil's Seed(Whether the original or the revamped version). Her
first appearance in within the first chapter, Blake finds Kate revealing her eating
a severed human limb covered in blood. She turns to see Blake or as she refers to
as "The Father" and proceeds to pounce on him and tries to unbuckle his belt, despite
Blakes protest only for Blake to kick her off of him. She chased him through the
forest to lose him. The blood orgy had been interrupted by an ambush of the church
fanatics. She attacks Val, expressing she had been betrayed.
In the original fanfiction "Desire for the Devil's Seed", Blake finds an old
journal with Kate's name written on it. He reads through the journal entries
that talk about her "love" being her deceased lover, "Hunter" as the journal mentions.
He asks Kate later on about what happened to her lover to find out he was killed.
He reads one of the other journal entries to find out the other Heretics have
'done things to her', implying Kate has gone through a considerable amount of
abuse years prior to Blake being in the village. In the journal, it's implied
she may have developed Stockholm Syndrome as it's possible the repeated traumatic
experience slowly chipped away at her hope, especially given it's heavily implied
getting out of Temple Gate is impossible.
In the remake/revamped version, the journal is not explored as much, though it's hinted
Kate has written some valuable information about the village and what took place.
An employee working for Pauline Glick, Vick Futterman voices his concern about missing any
important information to an unnamed colleague, only to be brushed off before starting the engine.
In the original version, Kate shares the same fate as Blake and is put through
various experiments. In the ReVamped version, she dies either from blood loss
from her stump where her arm used to be or from any possible illnesses or
infections she's sutained throughout her time in Temple Gate.
