Twenty-eight, looks about twenty.
"Not afraid to tell."
~Description~
Katlyn looks younger than she is as is common amongst her kind, she looks about twenty. The healer stands with grace at 5'4", her body built for flexibility and long periods of exhausting activity from her life under the water. Her past struggles are shown as smooth, pale scars placed sporadically across her body. Her eyes are blue, that's the shortest way to describe them as they're hard to pin as a single shade. They sparkle and shimmer, darken to midnight and brighten to icy, glow when she heals and dim when she harms, though these are simple observations made by many. And this is only her land form. Behind her lips are elongated canines and her nails can stretch into claws. In her true form she sports a glittering silver fish tail that increases her length (height) to 7'6" from head to fin tip. Gills open at the sides of her neck and abdomen. Her swimming speed as a human is amazing, but now it's absolutely fascinating. In dark waters or at night, she can make herself glow to attract prey, whether it be fish other other beings.
Katlyn's choice of clothing, despite pictures show, is definitely not dresses. It revolves more around easy movement, quick reactions, and comfort. A plain black tank top under a white peasant blouse with elbow-length sleeves, held in place by a form-fitting (not shaping) black, underbust corset. Dark grey, somewhat loose pirate breeches held up by a sun-bleached rope are tucked into a pair of below-knee-length, flat-heeled boots. And the finishing touches are a pair of black, fingertipless (cut the tips of the fingers off) gloves and a dark grey hooded cloak.
"If one more person calls me fishlegs, there will be hell to pay."
~Personality~
To strangers Katlyn's unpredictable, going from giggling over a silly joke to breaking someone's nose for an overly crude treatment oif someone, then back to enjoying her sweets. And to friends... she's still unpredictable, but would never dream of harming them or breaking their trust on purpose. She's loyal, sticks up for what she believes in, stays by her friends, and will do anything to help those she cares for. And she's very empathetic, able to easily read someone's emotions, and it takes a good liar to fool her. But despite her happy, care-free, quick-to-change nature, she can be calm and collected, and these are often times when it's best to ask for advice or she's either thinking deeply, hiding her sorrow, holding back her whip-lash anger, or just... zoning out.
But Katlyn, as sweet and passionate as she can be, does have a dark side. Her mind is controlled by her heart, which can be characterized alike to weather. Certain things will get certain reactions. She has certain views that are set in a stone and guarded by stubbornness, often causing problems with certain authority figures. But she'll only allow her heart to control her actions if there's not a good reason for whatever's happening. Long thing short, she may seem all sunny smiles and bright skies, but do something unacceptable without even a slightly good reason and you better watch out for her lightning.

~Skills~
Healing is seen as her main skill, seeing as she [i]is[/i[ the doctor of the Broken Trident. She uses the traditional ways of healing: poultices, cauterizing, bandaging, herbs, and medicinal liquids, but she also uses water (Will explain in Magic). Singing is, if ever heard, definitely one of her most obvious skills, but she gets nervous and shaky if she sings with an audience. (More pending...)
~Magic~
She's a siren (not mermaid, she'll explain the differences if asked), one with an affinity for light which she uses to make herself glow, become invisible, as well as heal.
As a siren she can breath underwater, grow a tail, and use her voice to effect others in different ways (usually to soothe and calm down). At her touch water is cleansed and when spread over the wound of/drank by the patient, it quickens the healing process. She does have another way, it heals the patient's wounds faster but it harms her. With water spread over the wound she touches it lightly and concentrates, taking the wound onto herself and removing it completely from the patient. During the process, her eyes and the palms of her hands glow a light blue, as do the wounds as they disappear from the patient and appear on her. Afterwards, depending on how bad it is, she would have to be submerged in water and given time to heal whether it be in the ocean, a pond, a tank, whichever. There is, of course, another way she could have herself be rid of wounds... which is by giving them to someone else. But she highly dislikes this ability and rarely uses it.
