"She is considered to be inexperienced, foolish, and ignorant. She has had little mentoring to speak of, if she has, it has obviously has been ignored." ~ Unknown
Height: 5'11"/180cm
Weight: 145lb/65.77kg
Complexion: Fair, smooth. The the sort that easily burns in the sun.
Looks
She could easily be described as statuesque, unearthly, or perhaps fae like. Her health is good, although she is susceptible to the occasional flu or cold virus. This is just a consequence of being not entirely one thing or the other. However, there is also the matter of exhaustion from denial of needs or over extending herself leading to migraines.
Sharply defined, typical Slavic features with what might be considered by some western standards a longish, rectangular, yet refined face. Wide forehead, with striking, lightly colored eyes, and high prominent cheekbones, lower set or rooted nose, and chin. Her features are strong, but refined. Catherine takes no pride in her personal appearance, caring only little for her looks. Her hair is kept long and it's once pale blonde, now white coloring , is a fairly typical eastern European characteristic. Normally she styles her hair down in curls or in single thick braid down her back; occasionally it will be put up in a thick coil at the base of her neck.
Personality
Catherine is fairly reserved, but is also the very type of person that you could begin to feel comfortable around due to her supposed quiet, low key nature. She is not always the most talkative, preferring to keep mostly to herself. A smile from her is a rare event. Her normal facial expression is a fairly limited neutral range, in her line of work a poker face is extremely valuable. She isn’t above killing or harming anyone that stands between her and whatever she sees as a goal. However she isn’t to be considered a serial killer either, but will do what it takes to get what she wants.
Speaking with a slight Romanian accent, Catherine has taken decades to try to eliminate it. It's exceedingly irritating to hear "My Comrade" jokes. The rest she can mostly tolerate.
Collecting Rare and usual books. Catherine has a rather strange fascination with these things, even though they might not be older than her, and the information no longer "current" she still believes that they hold some sort of useful information. Maybe not useful to the typical layman, but to her they've proven useful, or at the very least interesting and entertaining.
Dislikes
The smell of Anise, and Amaretto - There has always been that something about these smells that churns her stomach.
Being considered weak and ineffective - Just because she might not be perfect according to some, doesn't mean she doesn't have her own set of skills to offer.
Bright lights
Loud noises
Vampires/Ever-children - She has found neither of them to be trustworthy, always ready to betray someone or something for their next meal.
History
Catherine's background is a story that appears to be more hearsay than fact, she appears to be a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma. However few facts there happen to be, Ms. Dumitrescu appears as capable within many of the roles she ha.
Born outside Bucharest, Romania at the second lifting of the veil between worlds, Catherine was the only living child of her mother, Elisabeta who died shortly after her birth. After her mother's death she was taken in by people who were supposed to be her family, but once they deemed she was old enough to care for herself, they abandoned and washed their hands of her.
World War II eventually found her in Nazi Germany on an assignment with a well known supernatural organization. With valuables being seized right and the rumor of unsavory Nazi dabbling in the Unseen, Catherine managed to insinuate herself in as the girlfriend of an higher ranking officer, and eventually persuaded him to tell her a small piece or two of information. With this information safely tucked away into the corners of her mind, she boded her time, waiting. Her chance came when the Allies invaded Germany, and chaos reigned for a time.
With women fighting for their place in offices having taken roles during the war, and she returned back to Britain, and chanced a job with a local import store, having grown sick of fighting after years of assignments during the war. From there she hopped around doing various odd jobs here and there, never under the same name twice. More recently she was imprisoned against her will in St. Mary's Institute for the Insane, or the supernatural world's highest security facility designed to house insane and criminal supernaturals. It's not entirely clear how she ended up in such a place, but rumor has it that she had been there before, for severe infractions against laws.
Equipment
Glock 29s in 10 mm
Smart phone
One pair of UV or light reactive tinted glasses
Weaknesses
Catherine has a soft spot for children, seeing them as important to the future of any group or race.
Social standing
In her personal life she is neither feared or hated; preferring to keep mostly to herself, she does however have a few friends here or there. Catherine is something of a introvert and not exactly the social butterfly. In her professional life, she is well respected, but not always so much by other co-workers. In many ways she has used the rumor mill to both her advantage, and disadvantage.
