Catherine Torres

Catherine 'Cat' Torres is a main character throughout all seasons of Skyfall. Cat is a member of the 100, charged with the misuse of medical resources. She is one of the biggest opponents to the idea of any kind of structured government among the 100, believing that they should be able to make their own rules. She also heavily opposes the idea of any alliance with the grounders, making her one of the antagonists of season one.

## Origin

Born to nurse Valeria and mechanic Oscar, Catherine was not raised in a world of luxury. Money and rations were always tight in the Torres household, but they made it work. After the birth of their daughter, both Valeria and Oscar turned to drinking to block out the fact that money wasn't coming in any faster and they now had an extra mouth to feed. They both became neglectful, and Catherine practically raised herself.

In her teen years, Catherine turned to drug dealing in order to feed herself, and soon rose to infamy among the citizens of the Ark until her capture at age thirteen. The delinquents were sent to the ground days before her eighteenth birthday, earning her a spot on the dropship.

## Current Happenings

**Season One**

Cat is one of the 100 delinquents sent to the ground on the dropship in the pilot. She sees the ground as a fresh start and a chance for them to make their own rules and not let anyone control or boss them around anymore, though she is met with opposition by other delinquents such as Jaxon Caldwell. Her movement leads to chaos among the delinquents which rivals Jaxon's approach to working together for survival. Eventually, Jaxon regains control of the delinquents, but her ideals and Cat herself still pose a threat. Due to her extensive knowledge of plants, Cat is put in charge of finding suitable food.

Catherine is one of the few who have no desire to ally with the grounders, not wanting to be controlled or bossed around by others. When she overhears Leo and Nic discussing a potential peace negotiations between them and the grounders, she decides to make sure they won't get the chance. Using her knowledge of plants and their properties, she finds nuts in the woods with hallucinogenic properties and tricks the rest of the hundred into eating them for dinner. Her plan works, getting the rest of the delinquents high on the nuts, and when Leo and Nic return, they are unable to discuss peace with the other delinquents.

When Leo and Nic are finally able to talk to the delinquents, Cat is unsurprisingly opposed to the idea of peace with the grounders, but she is in the minority. Jaxon agrees to the treaty, and Cat is extremely unhappy.

Catherine is not taken by the Mountain, and she goes to Arkadia with the remaining hundred.

**Season Two**

At the beginning of the season, Cat can be seen telling everyone that the Grounders were the ones responsible for the poisonous fog and for taking the missing 43 delinquents. She insists that they strike back, helping devise a plan to attack them.

When Orion, Leo, and Kinah return to Arkadia to persuade Margot to attack the Mountain instead, Cat backs Shiloh and agrees that Leo is lying to protect Kinah. She insists that both Leo and Kinah are locked up.

In the end, she is backed into a corner and is essentially forced to help take down the Mountain. She is among the people captured by the Mountain Men at the end of Season Two and would have been killed if not for the irradiation of the Mountain by Jaxon and Kinah.

After the irradiation of the mountain, she goes a separate way than the others and seeks out King Atlan, finding that the two of them have common enemies and deciding to strike up a partnership.

**Season Three**

Cat has taken up residence in the Ice Nation, having developed a romantic relationship with King Atlan. When he receives word that Kinah is planning on making Skaikru the 13th clan of the Coalition, he and Cat devise a plan and she is sent to intervene.

After being trained by Atlan, when she returns to Arkadia, Catherine kills two members of the guard using methods often used by Trikru to frame them in hopes of destroying the alliance between Arkadia and Trikru and keeping them from making Arkadia the 13th clan.

Despite her attempts, she fails to turn the two against each other, and Orion is made Chancellor. Before her manipulations can be revealed and she can face any consequences for her actions, Cat returns to Atlan and the Ice Nation.
