To me, Kate is a struggle. She’s fallible. She isn’t Wonder Woman; she isn’t that kind of icon. She fights, and she fails, and she splits her lip and bruises all the way to the bone and she claws up through the mud and keeps going. She isn’t aspirational; she isn’t clean.

But she means, in all things, to serve something greater than herself — to take the strength, courage, resources, and passion she was given and forge a world better than the one into which she was born. She’s an eternal struggle — a powerful, physical struggle — for peace in the world and in her own heart.
