Description: Cathy is a tall and thin, and before she found the Psychic Shop, did a tad bit of modeling. She wasn't happy with this career path and only did enough to make some extra cash. Her hair is medium length with straight bangs. Her hair is typically dyed black, but on occasion she's been known to add colored highlights. Catherine will put her hair in a number of different styles, but most of the time she'll keep it down. She typically wears a heavy amount of eyeliner and mascara. She almost always wears makeup, but there are rare instances when she is not wearing any.
Preferred Clothing: Catherine prefers... black. She isn't comfortable in anything else. She is under the strong impression that clothing should represent who you are to an extent. Cathy is not a cheery, upbeat person. Therefore, she feels it is misleading to wear bright iridescent colors. Plus she finds primary colors tacky. Catherine can often be seen sporting black lace and leather, but as likely as she is wear an elaborate steampunk outfit, she is equally as likely to wear a simple long-sleeved shirt and jeans. What determines these outcomes? Quite simply her mood.
Enchantment: Catherine since a young age has been gifted with the ability of enchantment. She can take relatively any small object and instill raw energy and emotion into it. She has a natural affinity for the elements, so she can draw upon them with ease. Now, such a skill can be learned by anyone, but Cathy's enchantments in particular have a little extra kick. Her charms' effects are more noticeable and also last longer. She can make a large variety of spells and charms for anything from good health to focusing. She can even make more advanced charms such as love charms and even ward evil spells. However, for as many "good" charms she can make, she can also make charms that have... not so good intents behind them: hexes. She tends to avoid making such objects simply because nothing positive ever comes out of such objects. However, at the request of the store management, she is sometimes forced to making evil charms. She doesn't like it, but she doesn't dare oppose the management.
Tarot Card Readings: Although not nearly at skilled at fortune telling as the resident fortune teller, she can read tarot cards. She almost never reads them for other people however, she only ever consults them for herself.
Other Skills:
Arts and Crafts: Cathy is very good at making simple jewelry such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, chokers, etc. She can also make little key chains and decorative cards. She also knows how to make little rag dolls and stuffed animals.
Likes: Charm-making, arts and crafts, coffee, alcohol, classic literature, interior design, most animals, and organic food options.
Dislikes: General stupidity, Mexican food, loud obnoxious dogs, and bright colors.
Hobbies: Arts and crafts, Netflix, some gardening, sewing/knitting, people watching, and a little photography on occasion.
Phobia(s): Suffocation
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Personality: Catherine is comparable to a mirror with a sarcastic filter. She tends to reflect back what is given to her with a dash of sass. For example, if someone says something sweet to her, she will in turn say something kind, and depending on how well she knows the person, a light teasing remark. On the other hand, if somebody were to say something insulting and stupid, she'll in turn throw back a cutting sarcastic remark. She tends to keep to herself for the most part. She enjoys being in the presence of other people and will speak in group conversations, but she doesn't actively seek out socialization. She would rather quietly observe people while keeping her hands busy with her work.
Personal History: Catherine's parents were both free spirits and "hippies", and as such they always encouraged Catherine and her siblings to do whatever they wanted to do with their lives. Of course, this style of parenting ran into obstacles when one of her siblings said they wanted to kill the neighborhood bully and never wear clothes. So, when they discovered she had the ability of enchantment, they were instantly supportive and urged her to fine tune her gift. Despite the happy family atmosphere, growing up was still difficult due to the fact her parents refused to get normal paying jobs. So it was often living from paycheck to paycheck which can be hard for a family of five. All the same, she made it through high school and left the house to pursue her own path. She didn't have enough money to afford a college education not that that lifestyle appealed to her in anyway. She did modeling for a couple years because she was pretty enough and had the right body type, but she still felt so... lost. Finally, after consulting the tarot cards and making a charm of direction for herself out of an arrowhead, she stumbled upon an ad for the One-Stop-Psychic-Shop. Feeling a deep sense of belonging and purpose, she filled out an application. She has been working for over a year now.
