Backstory stuff: So Katherine is named after my brother's (at the time) Girlfriend. She was super nice and when I was younger, really tried to engage me and I really appreciated it. (most of the people in this story are either named after someone I know, or modeled after someone I know.) Katherine is now my brother's wife, and it's always a little awkward having direct people you know's name in here. (the other being Dave, which is the actual name of the priest, but it's literally mentioned once. I have an Uncle Dave who is extremely chicagoan and a joy)
Katherine as a character is more modeled after my Aunt Pam (Dave's wife) My aunt pam is like...the older generation of where I sit as a black sheep in my family. She and my mom fought a lot, there's a lot of undiagnosed mental illness in my family which her younger lashing out sounds a lot like, but we have this horrible mantra of "getting help is bad" so everyone just kinda fucks up each others day. Anyways, my Aunt Pam and I used to have a lot of fun when I was a kid, she'd take me rollerblading, had a very honest/ blunt, straightforward type of attitude despite she didn't exactly know how to deal with children. But she treated me like a person and I really needed that, especially at that time. I don't see her much nowandays, but she shows basset hounds and there's a good chance if you've a light-colored basset hound in a TV commercial that it's probably her dog. (or was, i think that dog passed recently).
Amber is named after a college friend of mine, but I checked to see what she's been up to recently and she's deep into the conspiracy antivax mine deepstate type of thing. Spent 3500 dollars on a vibrating footbath to cure her son's autism, that sort. So uh... less... great with that. Amber as a child is probably modeled after a mix of kids I had to babysit as a wee teen (mostly the vicar's kids, couple highly energetic blonde kids about 5 years old) and probably the closest thing to a self insert. Except for ships it'd be dalmatians. Fuck I was crazy into 101 Dalmatians at that age.
There's a bunch more but i'll get to them when we get to those characters if you guys are interested in this type of thing. :D

A lot of this story was written straight out without those things in mind, but you draw back on them and realize the things they represent, it's wild

Definitely interested in this kinda thing. We draw upon what we think we know to write about what we think we know. And then hindsight sinks in, and we find things are a bit different, more nuanced, sometimes very different. It’s fascinating.

It's interesting to see how you based their appearances/personalities on different people you met. Adds some personal touch to the story. ♥ Also, emotional support fell-on-head kid, go!
