"Cat"

CANNON OR ORIGINAL:original

SEXUALITY: hetero

PET:a barnowl named Arthur

APPEARANCE:
Catherine has long, dark brown hair. It falls mostly straight over her
shoulders to the ends of her shoulder blades. Though it is thick, her
hair is fairly easy to style. It is a lighter shade of brown in the
summer months after exposure to the sun. During the winter monthes, the
color is a much richer shade of chocolate.

Her eyes are milk
chocolate to her hair's dark chocolate. They are a warm brown. However,
don't think they automatically make her friendly. The reason some may
say that her nose is upturned has nothing to do with the actual shape
of her nose, which is straight. It cuts evenly down the center of her
face and is her mouth. When Catherine smiles or laughs, her top lip
shrinks. sometimes it even disappears.

Dark hair and dark eyes
are set off by pale skin. Though at the start of term Cat occasionally
has a tan, it fades quickly. This is not to say Cat's skin is an
unnatural or unhealthy shade, it simply is lighter than most other
people's.

The brunette saids at a height of 5 feet 8 inches, and
she is of a slender build. Catherine is an experienced dancer and is
good at polo but only has above average muscle tone. Her strength does
not surprise many, she is only slightly stronger than she appears.

She
carries herself proudly, she is royalty after all, whether she is
directly in line for the throne or not. There is the smallest hint of
arrogance about the way Cat carries herself. Her upbringin required
standing straight, shoulders back, carring oneself properly, etc.

FACE CLAIM:Anne Hathaway

PERSONALITY
DESCRIPTION: Many people consider Catherine to be arrogant. She is
but, only to people that she does not know well. She was brought up to
think that one must always act properly and with dignaty. Though the
Wizarding Communitity does not care as much for the Crown as the rest
of England, the habit is hard to break.

Catherine doesn't trust
people easily. She fears being used by people because of her position.
It is likely that many at Hogwarts could care less about her family,
but she believes that they, her family are important. Therefore she is
cautious about trusting others.

Still, once she is your friend
she is the best friend you could have. Catherine is loyal, intelligent
and funny. She has a sharp sense wit which she does not use sparingly.
She has a sarcastic sense of humor and a stinging tongue. Both she uses
often. Catherine's pride doesn't allow her to take crap from people.
Unfortunately, to seem well manered, often she can't insult people
directly. That's where her sharp wit and cunning come in handy.

Still,
she doesn't insult her friends and she will defend them from anything
or anyone. Catherine has never backed down from anything. If it appears
she is backing down, don't be fooled. With a political family, one
learns all about how to indirectly hurt a person. Catherine can be
sneaky when she needs to be.

Her other side, the side few see is
much less harsh. She cares about the British people and wants to help
others. People know about her volunteer work but many think it is
simply for public image. The British press believes Catherine to be
attending a super- elite Prep school for gifted children. When she is
out in the public eye, they try to get as much information about the
heir as they can. Still, Cat doesn't let it get in her way. For her, it
is much easier to show her kind side to people that she will never see
again.

Her love of helping people is why she wants to
intergrate magical cures into muggle medicine. Muggle health care would
increase in quality a great deal with a few potions. When she leaves
school, her goal is to find a way to work potions into modern medicine.

The
lesser of her goals is to marry her own Prince Charming. Despite a hard
exterior, Cat is a bit of a romantic. She believes the boy asks out the
girl, holds open doors, is a proper gentlemen.

PATRONUS: lion

SPECIAL ABILITIES: none
BLOOD: muggleborn
BIRTHPLACE: London, England
MY FAMILY:

Prince Edward George Nicholas Patrick Paul Windsor
born 9 October 1935; member of the British Royal Family; Duke of Kent

Katharine Lucy Mary Windsor (née Worsley)
born 22 February 1933; Duchess of Kent

George Philip Nicholas Windsor
born 26 June 1962, Earl of St. Andrews, born 1 month premature

Lady Helen Windsor
born 28 April 1964,

Lord Nicholas Windsor
born 25 July 1970

WHATS IN THE PAST:
Catherine Helene Marie Windsor was born on October 4th, 1961 to the Duke and Duchess of Kent. Queen Elizabeth II is her father's cousin. The media believes Catherine was born two months premature. However, the truth is that she was conceived prior to her parents?marriage. Her brother, George however, was born one month premature, born 8 months after Catherine.

At a young age, Catherine showed signs of possessing abilities far beyond that of a normal baby. The Prime Minister, being in contact with the Minister of Magic, was able to gather what the problem was. Catherine was a witch. Her parents shielded her from the public eye as best they could. They even went as far as to shield her from some family members. They claimed that as a result of being premature, she was frailer as a child. For the most part, nothing ever happened but, occasionally Cat would have an 'accident'; she would make something an odd color or perform some other magic unwittingly.

She spent the first 11 years of her life keeping must things quiet and simply learning about the 'proper' way to do things, say things. She honed her wit over the years but, it also made her untrusting. She could never tell people the truth about what she was.

When she got her Hogwarts letter, her parents claimed she was attending an elite Prep School for gifted children. It wasn't that much of a stretch; many family members knew Catherine was very intelligent. At Hogwarts, Catherine discovered a number of new things; quidditch being one of them. Though Catherine enjoys watching games, she would never be good enough to play on her house team. Practicing flying on Royal grounds would not go over well. Instead, she spends summers playing polo, plain horseback riding and dancing. She practices magic but, it is done secretly.

In her third year, Catherine looked into her family history to see if there was some connection to magic in her history. It was easy to look into the history of her father’s side of the family; there was plenty of documentation there. She spent most of her third year checking for hidden connections to magic in that side of her family tree. After many hours and hundreds of years of history sifted through, Catherine decided to explore her mother’s family. In the beginning of her fourth year, she found more promising results. Her mother’s great however many times removed aunt had been burned as a witch in Scotland. The relation had been distant enough as to not cause a problem when her parents got married. The aunt had been burned in the 16th century and had not caused a stir in the modern world. However, the connection was there. Upon further research, Catherine found record of the Aunt at Hogwarts. Since then, Catherine has presumed this relation was the source of her magical abilities.

RP EXAMPLE:

Kayleigh's
grin widened as the Professor shook her hand. Apparently he had heard
about her from Gair. She faked a wince at his tone when he emphasized
the 'you're'. "If Gair's told you about the team then I'm sure you've
only heard good things about me." she laughed. "Of course, I don't need
to hear all about you from anyone else. I will say that I was absolutly
thrilled when you switched from the Russian team to the Irish. It was
the topic of many dinner discussions my family. We think you clicked in
better with the Irish than you did the Russians though; you played well
for them too." Kay told him.

Her grin flashed again as he
chuckled at her Gaelic. Either he understood it or other members of the
Irish team had used it enough, probably in swears, to get him
accustomed to it. Kay didn't get the chance to ask him more about it
because she caught sight of London showing off. When her friend fell,
Kayleigh realized that London must not have known yet who their teacher
happened to be. It was no secret to Kayleigh or any of the other girls
that their was a picture of Mikhail Callaghan over London's bed.

The
blonde chuckled at her friend while she jogged over with Professor
Callaghan. It would take more than that fall do do any real damage to
London Kale. "I've seen you have better ones." Kay teased in response
to London's question over the quality of her fall. It was a typical
London question. "And not embarassing in the slightest. I'm sure the
professor here will 'ave us falling off our brooms loads of times by
the end of the year. What fun would it be if we only worked on what we
were already perfect at?" Kay said to London and turned to face Mikhail
again. "I'll bet by the end of the year even I'll fall off a time or
two if you're doing your job right." she told him with a wink.

Kay
left it to London to confirm her house. It seemed that he already knew
alot about the Gryffindor team. Though Kay was tempted to ask him to
help them practice, she knew it would be unfair for the ref tohelp a
team work out plays and such. It definetly would benefit the team to
have him as teacher. And, with the skill levels of other temas
heightened, it would guarentee better games. Kayleigh could hardly wait
to get started.

{ CODE OF CONDUCT }

I,
Julie have read the rules of the site and accept to comply
with them and their modifications. I understand that this is a mature
site with mature matters. I understand that I must be open minded about
it and will not complain, since it was stated in the rules I read. I
will treat all members and staff alike and with respect. I understand
that the staff has the power to delete and/or ban me for whatever
reason they see fit.

[Alexandria Perret]

Alright... so I really have no idea where to sort her. She's another 'enemy of the sorting hat' it seems to me. So, I'm going to cast a neutral vote for Hufflepuff-Gryffindor, although the other two are strangely close. So, I'll make up my mind if need be, but for now....

ACCEPTED BY SAM
Hufflepuff or Gryffindor

[Lan Dawkins]

Well, my choices are between Gryffindor and Slytherin. Because of the muggle-born thing, I'm going to say Gryffindor, since Slytherin is pretty picky about pure-bloods. I mean, there are some half-bloods but yeah.

Hm.... I see what you mean, Penny.

I changed my mind, now that I've thought it over more... I didn't really like her in Gryffindor that much anyway, it just seemed better than Slytherin.

Ravenclaw it is, then.

[Benjamin Thornton]

I am stumped, too. I see her as a RAVENCLAW.

Catherine is loyal, intelligent and funny. She has a sharp sense wit which she does not use sparingly. She has a sarcastic sense of humor and a stinging tongue. Both she uses
often.

With a political family, one learns all about how to indirectly hurt a person. Catherine can be sneaky when she needs to be.

Catherine doesn't trust people easily. She fears being used by people because of her position. It is likely that many at Hogwarts could care less about her family, but she believes that they, her family are important. Therefore she is cautious about trusting others.

I see all these traits as belonging to either Ravenclaw or Slytherin, and to me they knock out the possibility of Gryffindor and Hufflepuff, members of whom tend to be less shrewd and more 'open', if you know what I mean. Still, she seems too nice for Slytherin, so I'm going to stick with Ravenclaw.

I'll go with whatever everyone else decides though.
