- 5' even
WEIGHT
- 95 lbs
HAIR COLOR
- A pure snow, when caught in the sunlight, each strand will illuminate a blinding silver || Back in elementary school, it was a golden caramel. However, towards the end of middle school, it started to fade.
EYE COLOR
- Periwinkle gems that, oddly enough, transition into cornflowers or tumbled amethysts throughout the day. However, when crying, the orbs will darken to a deep sapphire hue.
SKIN TONE
- A porcelain laced with ivory undertones.
GENERAL APPEARANCE
- Rumoured and known to be a beauty of ethereal poise, Valeraine sports a demeanor akin to the realms of polar opposites; 'seductive' yet 'innocent'. Barely reaching the petite height of 5' even, her mass weighing in at a mere 95 pounds, this particular girl, off the bat, is noted by strangers to possess the 2 most sought after attributes by women and men alike; stature and curves. Naturally crafted and molded to possess a physique carved out in a perfect hourglass, her chest of larger nature for her age, Val often is the recipient of spitefully-coloured remarks on the nonexistent qualms regarding her boundless options of clothing and the slot she holds in becoming fantasies for other men (and, sometimes, women). With her nipped waist and toned limbs, it's almost next to impossible to describe her gait other than in the most poetic of ways; 'a flower swaying in the breeze' or 'a leisurely feline padding down the walk', perhaps. In any case, one can always count on Raine to gather attention from crowds.
Shifting focus to yet another selling point, her tresses, Katsu has been, undeniably, blessed with a gift. Generous amounts of cashmere-esque strands, their hue bordering on the unnatural, tumble down in cascades to frame her silhouette in the utmost perfect way. Typically, and almost shamefully, the mischievous teenager will leave her waterfall down, untouched. Interestingly enough, as stated before, this unobtainable tone of snow never seems to dim in luster...even flourishing and glowing in the most dreary of light.
Without a shadow in anyone's mind, Valeraine is a stunning individual.. but, in all honesty, the major factor that separates her from being classified as "model worthy" to "fairytale ready" are her eyes. In her opinion, as well as her friend's and stranger's, the brightly-colored pair are the best and most alluring trait on her. Why? It's all simply due to the breathtaking contrast they provide with the rest of her appearance. Almost constantly, the orbs seem to flux in their varying shades of cornflowers and amethysts, every complex tone found to be present within the expressively gleaming pair.

- ✦Cats - Seeing as this model has so much in common with these animals, it would be unnatural if she hated them. Enjoying the comfort and enjoyment they give, Katsu has grown rather attached to house cats in particular and will often attempt to imitate their grace.
✧Skittles - Having a notorious sweet tooth, it should be safe to say that Val craves and runs off sugar. Although she will consume any sweet within hands reach, this girl has a particular infatuation with the candy Skittles. Her record? 23 bags in a single day.
✦Modeling - Loving the idea of playing 'dress up' and getting praised for her beauty, it was a dream come true when she was offered a contract by an agency. In fact, even when she isn't 'working', Katsu will still run through mini-fashion shows in her room to ensure her outfit for the day is perfect.
✧The Beach - While hating the ocean and sun part, Val still adores taking trips down to the beach. Choosing to focus her time on feeling the sand under her toes and hunting down seashells, it's almost adorably childish how she'll run from the incoming waves.
- ✦Gummy Worms - Perhaps the only candy type she despises, something about the gelatin makes Lea's skin crawl. Often, when asked why she snubs the chewy treat, Val will rant about how their concept isn't 'right' and that 'humans shouldn't stoop to eating worms'.
✧Canines - A phobia of hers stemming from a childhood incident in which a dog bit her, it's safe to say that Katsu dislikes and fears canines.
✦Sun Exposure - With a job requiring porcelain skin and a complexion that goes up in flames within minutes, Lea has every right to dislike the sun's attacking rays. Doing everything within her power to avoid being in direct contact, the routine of sunscreen application, sunglass hunting, hat coordination and parasol opening is one that is all too familiar within her life.
✧Rap Music - While not minding poetry, something about the brash inflections of the words within rap music gets to Val.

- ✦Feline Tendencies - Oddly enough, it seems that this girl possesses the temperament of a feline. Only when she feels like it will she talk and interact with others, such feelings quick to turn on a dime. When not in the mood to be social, Val can withstand from talking for long periods of time..it's almost remarkable, actually.
✧Pulling Pranks - A talent that was evident since her childhood years, Val can manage to pull off some of the most elaborate tricks any one has ever seen. In fact, she could be pulling your leg for over a year and you still wouldn't know it was her…unless she told you, that is.
✦Puzzle Solving - Always one that loved activities involving an answer, it was only a matter of time before Raine discovered mind games. Puzzles, whether they be simple jigsaws or riddles, were a source of great enjoyment for her person as a child. Considering such, it shouldn't be a surprise to any that simple tasks, such as word searches, take only a minute to solve with riddles ranking in around 2 minutes.
✧Bullying - In spite of this kitten's extraordinarily sweet smiles and inviting air, this girl knows how receive what she wants...and through any means necessary. Rather quick to tear down other's resolves through baited gestures and fluttering eyelashes, it's almost remarkable on how easily she reaches her goals through these methods.
✦Harp - Having loved the intricate sound of the harp for as long as she could remember, it was actually Kawa that insisted on taking up lessons when she was 7. However, while this skill is past the point of being qualified for any competitions, this girl has refused to partake in showing it off. In a sense, it's a secret passion she shares with a select few only.
✧Modeling - Possessing an air that draws the eye and a body that could make even the most simple of frocks look designer worthy, it was only natural that Valeraine became a model.
✦Tailoring - Something she has learned through watching her mother, a seamstress, at work, it can be noted that this skill is a tad bit out of the ordinary. From being able to fix small gashes in clothes to crafting entire outfits by hand, there is nothing more that Via loves than to have her friends model her newest creations.
FLAWS
- ✦Disrespectful - As a free spirit who lives her life the way she wants, Kawa often struggles to follow orders and respect those of a higher status or power than herself. Not a surprise, it also takes an enormous effort to gain her respect and praise.
✧Anemic - Born with a weak constitution and a body that can not function normally, Raine has learned to survive off supplements to get through her everyday life. Not able to run for long periods of time or push her body to the extremes as most kids her age do, this condition has been quite a setback and nuisance. In fact, her anemic state is what caused her tresses to lose all pigment.
✦Easily Embarrassed - Despite the sly exterior and crass mannerisms she possesses, Katsu is, in all honesty, perhaps the one most fun to tease. Quick to blush and quick to stutter her way through retorts, it is, surprisingly, without much effort that others can reign in this imp.
✧Sailor's Tongue - When angered, it is noticeable that this kitten will adopt a vocabulary that would even have a sailor turn speechless.
✦Grudge Holding - Unfortunately, Katsu has never learned the whole "forgive and forget" motto…and it shows, especially if you prod her too much.
✧Refuses to Cry - Having spent most of her childhood in tears, Lea has learned to conceal such negativity in a heartbeat. Considering such, it shouldn't come as a surprise to some that Val refuses to allow anyone to see her cry. Keeping emotions from pain to regret bottled up, rarely will anyone ever see instances in which these leak through her self-resolve.
✦Wrath - Possessing a wretched temper when she is displeased, it goes without saying that you never want to see Valeraine in this state. With a patience best described as holding the capacity of a two year old, she is quick to express her anger through spiteful words and the throwing of objects.
✧Brand Items - Being spoiled by her job and the fact she keeps whatever she models, Val has taken to wearing only high-end brand names. Refusing to wear anything off-brand or generic, some might call this a snobbish weakness..however, it's just a way of life for her person.
FEARS
- ✦Medication - More specifically losing her supplements, the truth her body would fail in only a few days without it is a terrifying reality for Valeraine.
✧Cancer - Having watched this horrendous ailment rip her mother from her, it's only natural that Katsu would come to fear this intangible disease.
✦Dogs - Having been attacked by one on her way home from school during the 4th grade, Val has learned to harbor a phobia of canines.
✧Water - Namely limited to swimming, the surprising truth is that Kawa never learned how to swim. As such, she is terrified of pools in which she can not stand up in.
✦Being Forgotten - Taking one look at her history, it is quite evident where the root of this phobia has come from. In fact, this is part of the reason why she became a model, so that her memory and existence could continue to live on even when she is in the ground.

FAMILY
BIO
- Born on the first day of Spring, Valeraine Katsukawa was destined from her first cry to live a life swaddled in luxury..and unfathomable loneliness. A taboo child that crossed the defined lines of social classes and produced out of wedlock, her mother was a Japanese seamstress under the name of Hanako Katsukawa, with her father being the CEO of a leading Russian company in technological advancements, Nicholas Voltaire. Having met during Nicholas's business trip to Tokyo, it was love at first sight within Hanako's eyes…now only if those pure feelings were returned. Using Hanako as his distraction from work, Nicholas prolonged his return to Moscow to stay at his lover's side, neglecting to mention that his true wife, Charlotte Voltaire, was carrying his son with a due date by 3 months. Within two full years of being together, Hanako and Nicholas produced a bouncing baby girl, one that was to be kept a secret from his 'true' family back home.
When Valeraine aged 6 full years, a spiteful tragedy struck the Katsukawa household. As though some power above was punishing the couple for their sins, Hanako was declared to be riddled with ovarian cancer, her survival rate plummeting with each passing week. Not wishing to deal with stressful situation of shelling out money for chemotherapy and having the pressure for providing emotional support, Nicholas Voltaire chose to leave Japan altogether and return home to his awaiting wife, son, and new daughter. Within a few days of his departure, Valeraine's mother fell into a heartbroken slump, her eyes never remaining dry for more than an hour. By the time Valeraine was 8, her mother was admitted into the nearest hospital, the cancer eating away at her life. It was around this time that the lonely child found comfort in friends, her days almost normal..despite coming home to an empty house. When she was at the mere age of 10, Valeraine formally lost her mother.
Having her custody transferred over to her father, Nicholas Voltaire's dirty secret he had oh-so-carefully kept hidden leaked through. Following his wife's demand to right his wrongs, the man hired a live-in nanny to keep an eye on his bastard child as well as provided a steady flow of income. Learning to hate her only parent and how to survive without a vast amount of help, Valeraine began to become rebellious in different ways..namely by becoming mischievous and constantly tricking others. However, that wasn't her only talent she developed..she managed to possess a charm like none other. At the age of 13, she managed to use that charm to attract the attention a talent agency for modeling…something she readily accepted. Traveling about on photoshoot tours, her school work delivered through her manager, it was a dream come true for Valeraine, to be out of that small town and away from her father's eyes..even if she had her caramel locks sacrificed to her flared amenia from stress.
However, she is currently on a break as a suggestion by her manager..little does she know the 'resort' he told her about is a farmhouse, filled with friends from the past.
