Origin: Katharine Rose was born on 13 December 1972. She was an only child, raised by loving parents in Brisbane, Queensland. She was fifteen when she discovered one night that she could stretch and elongate her body by reaching out for her schoolbag over on the bed ... and picking it up. Surpised, Katharine discussed her newfound powers with her parents. Inspired by Brisbane's superhero team, the Guardians, she decided to try and join the group, but agreed with her parents' wish that she wait until she was eighteen to do so.

Katharine finished high school and went to the University of Queensland, where she began to study a Bachelor of Arts. As she grew closer to turning eighteen, her mother bought an unstable-molecule costume for her from Reed Richard's mail-order catalogue and Katharine settled on the codename "Ribbon". Finally, the day after her eighteenth birthday, Katharine approached the Guardians, and was accepted as a member-in-training.

Personality: Katharine is determined to be a good superhero, the very best she can be. However, she's not sure that her best will be good enough, especially when compared to her older, more experienced teammates like Kismet and Red Tiger. She also finds facing off against supervillains a new and unsettling experience, and can be quite intimidated by them. Still, she tries her hardest, and is keen to learn.

Powers/Tactics: Katharine prefers to hang back in encounters and support her more dangerous teammates, either by following up attacks on stunned opponents or catching falling/knocked back allies. She also uses her tremendous reach to move people out of danger if needed. Her body has tremendous physical durability, but she is vulnerable to energy-using opponents and avoids them if she can.

Appearance: Ribbon wears a dark blue single-piece skintight costume and a dark-blue mask. She has shoulder-length wavy brown hair and blue eyes, is 5'9" tall and weighs around 62kg (135lb).
