Kat is nineteen. She feels that because there is little for young people to do in the estates in north Sheffield, some get bored and some turn to drugs or crime. By contrast, Kat channels her energies into supporting Sheffield Wednesday and maintaining her own website of anime (Japanese cartoon animation). She collects Sheffield Wednesday badges and anime cards, such as Pokemon, to demonstrate her interests. She is proud of her collections as they show the positive things that she is doing with her life.

"I've got lots of the official badges as well as the fun ones that get made. One of my favourite badges has to be one with the gold, with three different crests on, it were one that, one of my very first official ones that I bought. And my second favourite one has to be one with wings, with a circle with the owl insignia in the middle, cos it were the first one my mum gave me, that started my collection off, so that's my favourite ones."
