She was picked up by Kendra Turner on the side of the road. Kendra originally thought because of Catty's power, that Catty was an alien so she adopted her as her own, to protect her. Kendra is very relax with Catty and does not mind when Catty misses class in order to "hop" time. Catty's best friend is Vanessa and unlike her, she is not shy about using her power. Much to Vanessa's chagrin, Catty often uses it in public places and does not care about how her time hops affect people.

There, she finds out that her mother became Follower of the Atrox and that her biological father is a member of the Atrox's inner circle. Later, it is revealed that Catty's birth name is Atertra Adamantis, which means "black diamond". From her mother, Catty inherits the Secret Scroll and finds it is her destiny to destroy the Atrox with it.

Ultimately, she pieces together the facts: she grew up in foster homes all over LA because her parents and little sister, Jamie, were killed by Followers when she was a child. She also begins to date a boy named Derek who knows the Daughters' secrets. Their relationship lasts until The Becoming. The foster mother she lives with is discovered to be a failed creation by the Atrox. Tianna was created by the Atrox and thus was born without a soul, but Selene kidnapped her when she was a baby and gave her to a Daughter. Her mother gave her moon dew also known as honeysuckle so that Tianna would have a soul and become as human as possible. Her evil destiny is to become the wife of the Atrox and give birth to its child. Her good destiny, created with the help of Selene and her mother, is to rebind the Atrox to its shadow.

Unfortunately for Maggie, she had forgotten to ask for perpetual youth, but Selene gave her an elixir that would keep her young. When the Atrox visited her, she said an incantation to destroy it but it backfired to destroy her instead, as it was not her destiny to destroy the Atrox.

Catty, Jimena, and Serena dislike her, mostly due to the fact that her mind seems encompassed around nothing but boys and clothes although Vanessa once noticed that Morgan is deliberately trying to be care free to cover up her own insecurities. However, she is snide and rude, criticizing Serena Killingsworth, on her unique fashion sense although Serena once penetrated her mind and saw that Morgan was jealous of Serena's talent on the cello. She meets Stanton at Planet Bang, and begins dating him, unaware of his status as a Follower. He and the other Followers ultimately steals her hope, and Vanessa brings her to Maggie Craven, the mentor of the Daughters, who restores Morgan's dwindling hope.

Morgan, normal once more and just as cold-hearted, pursues Collin Killingsworth, Serena's older brother, in "Into the Cold Fire". Serena enacts vengeance on Morgan for criticizing her [Serena] behind her back, by manipulating Morgan's thought during a pep rally speech.
