if you grew up in angel ridge then you’ve surely heard of the richards. they’re, after all, one of the richest families in town, and that is enough to make up for the fact that they’re fairly new to it, moving from la when their only daughter was less than two years old. little katherine ann didn’t have any memories from la, growing up in a sprawling white manor on top of the pacific grove, her own little kingdom.
katherine was always the perfect daughter, or at least very good at pretending to be. straight a student, charming and talented. there were never many worries in her life, except for the ones she created for herself. because kathy always liked having fun, and always had the habit of taking it a little too far. drinking her parents expensive wine until she was crying and laughing and feeling sick, throwing small parties that always ended up having half the school, getting caught in a very compromising position in the back of her best friend’s car with said best friend… not her best moment, and one that filled the town’s gossip mill for months.
perhaps if her parents were more interested in her life that would be enough to take away her position as their little princess, but as it were, jefferson and marion richards’ only preoccupation in life were themselves, their mattress empire and what would be served at their next lavish dinner party. this way, kathy managed to graduate high school relatively unscathed, with an early admission to the scripps women’s college and very proud parents that were all too glad to look away from her more troubling behavior.
kathy graduated in classical studies summa cum laude, but to many her greatest achievement were not latin translations or works of experimental poetry: it was her slot in the university’s radio. every wednesday kathy richards’ voice filled the airwaves with blunt advice, flirty back and forth and good music. though marion urged her daughter to return home (and preferably get engaged and married), kathy found herself lingering in claremont, getting a master’s degree and most importantly an even bigger time slot at the radio.
unfortunately college can’t last forever, and when kathy turned twenty five she felt pressured to go back home and help her parents keep an eye on the family business. she didn’t move back to pacific grove, however, buying her own spacious and modern apartment, and finally submitting some tapes to radio city after a night of one too many bottles of wine. she was hired the next day, with her own radio show. miss pink.
nowadays, katherine ann still walks through angel ridge as if she owns the town, and the rumors about her are still just as salacious as they were in high school. turns around more than half a decade away in college was not enough to make the small town forget about her small delinquencies, and the old ladies are all too delighted to talk about miss pink and how she has slept with everyone in town (she really hasn’t. the mayor is definitely not her type.)
