History

Katherine Houghton Beckett was born to Jim and Johanna Beckett on November 17, 1979. She was raised in Manhattan.

Her grandfather was an amateur magician and frequently brought her to the famous Drake's Magic Shop after school in her early on teens, resulting in her fascination of the fine art. She is also a comic book fan, having bought her first when she was 14 and envisioning herself as Elektra if she had a selection of what graphic symbol to exist. She was also raised past her father to exist a baseball fan.

Beckett went to Stuyvesant Loftier School, a public school in New York Metropolis reserved for highly gifted students. She then studied pre-law at Stanford, dreaming of becoming the first female Main Justice of the Supreme Court, before transferring to New York University later on her mother's death to pursue a career in constabulary enforcement. Betwixt her junior and senior yr of higher, she spent a semester studying in Kiev, Ukraine.

She hints to Castle many times virtually having a wild past and according to an old friend, Madison Queller, she was "the biggest scofflaw" in high schoolhouse and was in relationships with a multifariousness of men. She spent one summer while in high schoolhouse modeling as opposed to waitressing, eventually earning enough money to buy a 1994 Harley Softail Motorcycle, which she even so rides, although her father strongly disapproves of information technology and once fifty-fifty threatened to send her to a nunnery for. She also had a beauty queen, Debbie Winaker, for a roommate during her freshman yr.

On Jan nine, 1999, when she was 19, her mother, Johanna, was stabbed to death while on her style to meet with Jim and Kate for dinner. The detective in charge of the investigation, Detective John Raglan, was apparently never able to find the killer and attributed her decease to random gang violence. Kate, though, believes that at that place was more to her female parent'south murder than a random killing, thinking that the investigating detectives ignored every other evidence that could lead them to her mother's murderer.

Her male parent took Johanna's decease difficult and became an alcoholic. She was eventually able to help her begetter get through information technology, though. From then on, she has since worn her mother's nuptials ring as a cervix lace for "the life she lost" and her father's sentry, an Omega Speedmaster Professional, a.k.a. "Moonwatch", for "the life she saved".

On the other hand, her female parent's expiry inspired Beckett to become a cop: to be a detective that actually looks for justice for the sake of the victims' families for the correct reasons without 'pigeon-holing' crimes the way Detective Raglan did on her mother's example. Other than that, she besides wanted a position in the force where she could investigate her mother's decease further.

Richard Castle's books and the fictional shows Nebula ix and Temptation Lane as well apparently played their part in helping Kate get through her mother's death.

Beckett's training officeholder after leaving the academy was Mike Royce, who co-ordinate to Beckett was "the but one who understood the obsession that drove her." His stories and influence in her life subsequently led to her fall in love with him.

Beckett then became a detective for the New York Police Section, specifically the 12th Precinct Homicide Squad, where she works with boyfriend detectives Javier Esposito and Kevin Ryan, and medical examiner Lanie Parish, under Helm Roy Montgomery.

After spending the first three years of her career as a cop drowning herself in studying her female parent's file and coming upwards with zero, she finally decided to put it behind her and just endeavour to forget most it and avert delving deeper into the case. According to Captain Montgomery, her main strength as a detective lies in her ability to empathize with the relatives of fierce crimes, which she does better than anyone he knows.

At one point in her career, she teams up with FBI Agent Will Sorenson for a kidnapping case that did not end well. The ii become romantically involved, but the relationship ends when Will pursues a career in Boston, a career move he chose over Kate.
