She was an excellent student but had a bit problem with her heart health. Studying Wushu with Gen allowed her to overcome her health problem.

When she reached 15 years old, Gen asked Chun Li to teach Cath a few of her techniques for about two years. The two got along very well and become best friends. In later years, the two took a different paths and lost contact for a few years until this coming months (BF II starting point).
