Similar to her friend, Ibby, she began to fantasize about a life full of unusual and unexplainable circumstances. However, unlike Ibby, Kristine is a woman of science and knew full well that there was no likely-hood of anything of the sort occurring. She played it off as just high expectations set by fantastic video games,TV shows and books. However this all changed after she met Liz and got involved in the complex warring of The Fantisme, a world of magic she had no idea existed before.
After discovering this, not only was her goal to aid her friends, but to learn as much as she could about this new world, and attempt to pair science and magic together into useful tools.
History[]
Kristine was born from a teen pregnancy. The story goes that when her mom was 17, she snuck into a bar and hooked up with an older man, claiming she was 19. The unprotected sexual encounter resulted in the pregnancy. However, upon searching for the man, her mother came to find he was gone with out a trace. Because of all this, her mom was kicked out of her home. After Kristine was born, her mother, tried to find a boyfriend that could help support her, but the one she found was abusive. However, due to money constraints, this man stuck around for many years. During those years he would verbally, physically and even sexually abuse Kristine and her mother. Kristine soon sought out for an escape, and she found science. She found that learning and studying on her own was the best way to deal with the stress of living in her home, and as a result she became very smart and the top of her class. It wasn't until later on that is was discovered that she had a genius level IQ,
When Kristine was 14, her step-father finally left, but this left them in an incredibly poor financial situation. By 15 Kristine's mother sent her to go live with her uncle in the city of New Bridge, where he would give her one of the small apartments to act as a place for her to live and learn how to live on her own. Around this time, Kristine had also been communicating online with a girl named Ibby and they were internet buddies. It turned out Ibby lived close by New Bridge, which was a much needed bonus to the already hard move. She later met Marc and the three became good friends.
Sometime after her move, a well known scientist at Revival Laboratories named Audrey Chambers sent out an ad requesting any young women interested in getting into the scientific field to become her assistant. Kristine qualified and manage to snag herself a position with her. Though the job was mostly just cleaning equipment and handing her things, Kristine learned a lot about how chemicals worked from watching Audrey. d

After the discovery of her family, she learns that she in fact DOES have an ability. Though human, her father had an ability call the Healing Aura, which like it sounds, is an aura surrounding a person that when used, allows their medicine and treatment to be more effective, as well as giving the person them selves protection against disease.
