OLDEST BROTHER

Things in the Lennox household have been stressed for a very, very long time. Since the sudden passing of their mother when Katherine was almost ten (making this guy about thirteen), their lives have been turned upside down in an unpleasant way. Their father became an alcoholic as a means of coping with his grief, and while her brothers were able to escape to school during most of the year, Kate wasn't so lucky. They were briefly in the custody of an aunt while their father attended rehab, but this brother likely saw everything that happened while their father was Katherine's primary caregiver...and I see him as being furious with their father for it.
There was an incident in which Kate went to go ask Marcus something and he screamed at her in his drunken stupor. Afraid and hurt by the outburst, Kate disappeared into the forest behind the family home and didn't return. While she wasn't hurt, it took several hours after dark had fallen for Marcus to realize that she was missing and go looking for her. This incident would have been recounted to her older brother, though he was too young to have done anything much at the time.
I'd like for him and Kate to be close. He can approve or disapprove of her boyfriend depending on how you take their relationship to be, but I think there is still an estrangement from Marcus that her brother isn't looking to remedy yet. There are bound to be a lot of hard feelings, all of which may come to a head when he realizes just how badly his sister's mental health is. Face and name are open!SECOND BROTHER

Much like the older brother above, this brother likely has some issues with their father, but it's entirely up to you as to whether or not he seeks to mend their broken bond or not. All of the same issues will come into play when it comes to Kate and her mental health. I like the idea that they could be close, but I'm open to other ideas as well. Face and name are open!
