## Character

### **Personality**

Coming from her background as a girl specializing in magic, she always has been intuitive in whatever she does. Having to figure out what's right with her powers quickly and under the pressure of potentially horrible consequences if said power backfires does that to a person, and she learned fast. Even as a child she always displayed intuition, figuring out what to do often, and her witch training only served to put that to the forefront of what she does, and it lets her be confident that she is doing things as correctly as they can be. Being right also means that she is rather headstrong in what she wants to do. She wants things done a certain way at times, owing to her intuition leaking a little bit into her haughtiness, and her being stubborn about this makes it so that she will push for her way or the highway. She works with her friends to manage this, but she's always pretty much been the one most likely to pressure people into what she thinks is right anyway. Of course, being in a Prep school and being in a more posh, fancy household made it clear for her to be proper at all times. Proper etiquette is part of her game, and she is as royal as most Godly royalty in the way she acts and moves, knowing the proper fork to duel someone with and all. She strives to be the best representation of Avalon and often lets her sisters know what they did or didn't do properly in terms of etiquette. Her friends’ general demeanors have rubbed off on her though, and she does enjoy being not so proper at times. Her magic background and training at her old Prep school instilled diligence in her, owing to her schoolwork and keeping up with her training. Having had periods of her magic life where she was essentially self trained, she had to learn quickly to utilize her abilities and practice them regularly, and she did so, learning magical theory and picking up new skills on the way. When arriving at her Prep school, she became enthused about schoolwork, seeing it as another challenge to overcome with her work ethic. Poring over books and spells and theory yet again, she found it like an exercise to strengthen her resolve, and she continues to work hard and study hard, but she does have times where she goes overboard. Catrin, simply put, is the leader of the burnt-out gifted kids club. As a child, she was subject to high expectations, which she quite eagerly fulfilled in exchange for attention and praise, but as she went through school, she began to fall down the academic ladder. By no means is she failing her classes, but she has a profound need to be the best at what she does, which manifests itself as an adamant refusal to do anything she’s not the best at. She has a lot of passion to begin with, for sure. Catrin will take on four and twenty different projects at one time, with unrivaled fire and drive, but beyond the beginning stages, her enthusiasm wanes quite rapidly.

She has a tendency to half-ass things without ongoing extrinsic motivation and pressure, and author-forbid she encounters an obstacle, which will likely halt her for a good long time, if not permanently. There’s no denying that what she does complete, she completes well. Catrin is a talented individual, with a lot of creativity and book-smarts but she lacks proper discipline and an understanding of how to apply herself. She relies too heavily on her inherent intelligence to pull through on things she actually has to finish, like schoolwork, which makes her a massive procrastinator. Catrin’s approach to her relationships, romantic or otherwise, is similar- she is sweet and passionate, and so full of love that she is so, so, willing to give out. However, as someone who holds herself to an impossible standard, she also holds others to the same, impossible standard. Anyone who doesn’t meet her ideal image of them or follow what she thinks is the appropriate script for their relationship is dropped. This isn’t as much the case for her friendships, but Catrin takes romance very, very seriously. There are certain dynamic “flaws” that she can excuse when it comes to her friends, but she believes in complete and unwavering compatibility between partners. Coupled with the fact that she’s naturally non-confrontational, Catrin would rather cut someone off than work through obstacles in their relationship. Note: obstacles in their relationship. She’s happy to turn a blind eye to her friends and significant others’ wrongdoings if it only applies to other people. Catrin is rather wilfully ignorant at times, all in the interest of creating a perfect life. She insists outwardly on viewing things as romantically as possible, but a lot of this is performative, mostly for her own sake. It’s an ultimately self-destructive approach, but hey, nobody’s perfect, right? She is very aware of bad things happening to her, though. Again, Catrin is non-confrontational, but she takes actions to heart, and definitely lets the offending party know. Her favorite phrase is “How could you?” followed closely by “Is it because you hate me?”. Catrin most certainly doesn’t do it consciously, but she’s manipulative and quite obviously so when she’s been upset. She’s a master guilt-tripper and puppy-eye-maker, and prone to crying very easily- on cue if she has to. She’s not an inherently bad personality, though. Catrin is sweet, she is gentle with her acquaintances and polite with exception. She can be counted on to provide a positive, hopeful comment in a time of need, and is always helpful during a brief moment of strife. Though her altruism is often self-centered, she’s still overall a benevolent character whose main flaw lies in an inability to separate her expectations from reality and allow herself and those around her to just live.

Catrin is often described as a beautiful Afro-Welsh seventeen year old girl, with purple colored eyes, that hold a powerful aura to it, with long dark brown hair that is normally curly/coily, but it’s often tied in dreads with purple beads in her hair, and brown skin.
