## Biography

### Personality

It would be easy to write Cathie-Lou off as another Southern belle who hides her cruelty behind faux civility, and this would be a correct observation, except that Cathie-Lou legitimately believes herself to be a good and kind person. She isn’t ever overtly mean, and prefers to shove her bad thoughts into the back of her mind, along with the things she does not understand. But here’s the thing with shoving bad thoughts and opinions into the back of your mind: they never go away—instead, they fester until they’ve infected the rest of your brain, and in this way Cathie-Lou, despite her bubbliness and wide-eyed wonder at the world, is just as cruel as any bully.

This isn’t to say she’s unsalvagable—the way she treats others is directly due to what she has seen reflected by those she wishes to fall in with, and she may one day have a wonderful life as a kind person, but high school is going to be rough.

### Appearance

Cathie-Lou is aware of her own incomprehensibility to the monster eye, but does her best to try and look cute despite it. She has blue-green skin, a squidlike face, and tentacles that she’s pulled into pigtails. She has at least two sets of eyes, although it is somewhat difficult to tell, and tiny batlike wings. Because of her role as an influencer, she’s usually wearing Haunt Couture, since she has collaborated with them in the past, and especially goes for anything shiny. She’s a cutie, once you get past the madness threatening to eat away at your mind!

### History

Cathie-Lou was raised alone in the drowned corpse city of R’lyeh, with her father as the only other monster she ever knew. She learned about the world through him, and idolized him. After he fell into his death-slumber, she missed him dearly, and is still eagerly awaiting him to rise and initiate the apocalypse.

After waiting a few hundred years, she was invited to move in with a group of wealthy vampires in New Goreleans, on the basis of them being Cthulhu cultists. She learned the manners of the Southern upper class, and began to build her own cult in the form of becoming an Inscaregram influencer. Finally, in the search for greater education, she moved to New Salem and became a student at Monster High, where she learned a simple, universal truth: high school is fun for *literally everyone*.

## Abilities

* **Madness-Inducing:** Cathie-Lou has the ability to project images into the minds of other monsters that cause them to fall into clinical insanity.
* **Immortality:** Being an elder god, she will never die, though she may choose to fall into a death-slumber like her father.
* **Flight:** Due to her tiny wings, she's able to hover a few inches off the ground at a time.

## Relationships

### Family

Cathie-Lou’s father raised her completely isolated from the rest of monster society, and until he entered his slumber, he was the only monster she had ever interacted with. Because of this, their bond was very deep, and she continues to love and miss him after he left her life.

Currently, she lives with The Silver Lake Serpent and Putricia Q. Thing, another transfer student to Monster High. She doesn’t mind The Silver Lake Serpent, but finds Putricia unbearably pathetic, although she tries to be civil when speaking with her.

### Friends

Due to the way she was raised, Cathie-Lou finds it difficult to make friends. She tries her best to treat others in the way she sees them treated, so she can be absolutely lethal if she falls in with the wrong crowd, though her Southern politeness keeps her from being too biting. She became close with Cassandra Cabra over a shared dislike of Herman Culus, and by extension befriended Scorpio Arachnibilt, with whom she has had multiple disagreements over the more blunt kind of cruelty he exercises.

### Romance

Cthulhu granted Cathie-Lou infinite knowledge of the monster construction of love at her request, allowing every possible scenario for love to play out before her eyes, but she forgot most of the knowledge she was granted. For a long time she considered herself incapable of loving another person, until she developed an all-consuming crush on Herman Culus, which makes no rational sense and yet exists despite it all.

### Enemies

Cathie-Lou’s pity for Putricia quickly morphs into disdain, which slowly becomes hate, fuelled by her friendship with Cassandra. She remains civil to her, which deepens Putricia’s annoyance. It’s a vicious cycle of slick politeness.

### ♥ Orientation

She simply does not understand the question.

## Trivia

* Cathie-Lou adores incomprehensible screaming (best exemplified by Norwegian black metal), and 70s Europop. (Side note: the Monster High version of Abba should be called AAAA!)
* When she grows up, she'll probably run some sort of pyramid scheme. Maybe we can help her before that becomes a reality, but I doubt it.
