Role
Kathrine.
Vampire, Human, or Hunter?
Hunter.
Gender
Female.
Age
22.
Personality
A rather complicated woman, with lots of mood swings. She can be completely independent one moment, but then need someone at her side the next. She can be calm, and then furious about something. Her emotions are always on the extreme side, but she works to keep them under control because she's aware of her mood problems. She's somewhat self-critical, but doesn't obsess over being perfect. She's a terrible liar, it's better that she doesn't even try and she knows it. But she does know when to keep her mouth shut. No one knows about her liking Marcus, but she assumes that Emilia knows something is up. She's a bit of a bitch to her, mainly because when it comes to Emilia she's so easily jealous of her that she quickly becomes very angry and quite frankly doesn't exactly want to get it under control. She's somewhat eccentric when it comes to her favorite things, but is also easily knocked down. Simply tell her that you don't like the thing that she's excited about and she'll suddenly feel very down. Again, very moody.
A sense of love is the most important thing you can give her, right next to family. She's been doing things on her own and keeping secrets for years now, so having a lover she can tell everything to (ahem, perhaps another hunter who would understand? Ahem, Marcus?) would make her life pretty darn perfect in her eyes.
Brief Description
Unlike the photo, she does not have horns, but she does bandage one eye to cover her blind one. Her eyes are a beautiful greenish blue, which she decorates with makeup, but she became blind in her left eye at age 16 in a mixup with a vampire. She prefers to cover it up because it makes her feel as though that side of her body is weak when it's exposed when she is, in reality, strong all over. She stands at 5'8" with long limbs, and is very skinny. Her strength surprises many in battles because she's classified as an "easy target" and then uses their underestimation to her advantage. Her long blonde hair gains a reddish looking glaze in the right sunlight, or when wet. Her attire changes often between dark colored sundresses, and formal dress slacks and nice blouses. She doesn't wear jewelry, and nothing on her body is pierced.
Skill(s)/Abilities
She's as excellent with daggers as she is with guns, specifically handguns. She's nearly proficient in these, but when it comes to long-range gun or melee fighting, she falters often. She's very flexible and knows some gymnastic skills, though she's no acrobat. She's good at sneaking around--spying, eavesdropping, etc. It's a skill of hers well-practiced, and she's pretty good about getting information out of people...one way or the other.
Likes
Gymnastics; it makes her feel like she's floating on air.
Getting to know other hunters; she never knew they existed as a kid/teenager.
Blood; she's not a freak, but something about it fascinates her...
The sun; she's had a strong appreciation for it since learning about creatures of the night.
Horror movies; she feels they make her smarter in reality, knowing what not to do in cases of killers or zombies or being trapped.
Hand-written letters; you won't see her send an e-mail. It's either a phone call or letter. No texting either. She also enjoys newspapers over TV or internet.
Sundresses; perfect for her favorite sunny days, and it makes her feel feminine again after murdering a vampire.
Drama; but not being a part of it, she just enjoys watching it unfold.
Dislikes
*The dark; though she loves the moon and stars, she hates compromised eyesight, especially because she can only see out of one eye.
Chocolate; she prefers sour to sweet.
Vampires; their ways are just disgusting, and they're so inhumane with their victims. Maybe she wouldn't mind them so much if they weren't.
Techno music; it changes sound too often. Give her a classical or soft rock song with a steady beat.
Leather anything; belts, jackets, pants... she's no dominatrix-style vampire hunter. She likes to keep it real.
Being outnumbered, whether it be in a fight or a verbal argument.
Video games; such a waste of time!
Fears
To a degree, the dark. Read above*.
Losing her other eye.
Being rejected from the hunter society, after not knowing they existed for so long.
That she has a sibling somewhere, but they passed away.
She's highly claustrophobic.
What do they wish for most?
This dream may or may not ever happen, but she would love to be a part in a revolution that changes the vampire world for centuries to come. Also on the backburner is her desire to find out if she has any siblings that were given away to be adopted as she was. She couldn't really care less about her parents.
History
Kathrine was adopted into a family of humans at the age of 4, and she's yet to learn why her parents abandoned her. Her adoptive parents knew next to nothing about them, and they got out of contact as soon as was possible. She lived a normal human life, and when things like gymnastics and weapon handling just came naturally to her later on, she figured it was just talent in her genes. At 14, she encountered her first vampire by accident. She didn't know how or why they existed, but after she was attacked and miraculously survived, she had an instinct in her bones to hunt them down. She began sneaking out and seeking them, and found that it wasn't hard to eye one out on the streets to spy one. She got better at spying on them, and eventually began to pick out their weaknesses. This spying went on for two years, without her parents ever knowing. At 16, she grew the balls to actually approach one in an alleyway. She was attacked but was confident that she would destroy. This confidence lost her her left eye, but won her her first kill.
An adventurous child at best, it's amazing she survived on her own growing up. Eventually she left her adoptive parents to start a life of her own, and shortly after moving out found that she wasn't the only one hunting vampires. Now that she's embedded into the hunter's society, she's never felt more powerful.
Crush
Marcus.
The View From Here
We strived so hard for this,
You can't imagine what it takes.
You haven't walked in my shoes,
You'd rather stand in my way.
And all I know...
Is what I see before my eyes,
I'll learn this on my own,
So follow me or move aside.
We stand at the edge of what's to come,
It's who we are.
It's what we love.
Now that we're standing tall,
I see the light in our view,
Do what it takes,
It's what we're born to do,
For those who live.
For something that they believe.
We live and die for you to
break the mold and follow your dreams.
We stand, at the edge of what's, to come.
It's who we are, It's what we love.
It's who we are, It's what we love.
These are the paths and the roads we take.
How dare you try take this thing away?
These are the paths and the roads we take.
How dare you try to take this thing from me?
