 5', 110, brown eyes, shoulder length brown hair, scar on collar bone. She is short and light, making her able to balance easily and move faster.
She has sharper finger nails than an average human, which she usually hides with gloves. When provoked, she makes a noise that can only be described as a mix of a deep growl and a hiss. If you look closely at her eyes you can tell the he pupils are not normal. Instead of circle she has slits for pupils, just like a cat.

Background: Catherine gained her abilities to shift at the age of ten when she fell off a high wall and reverted to her animal form. When her father, a wealthy man whom owned a corporation spanning half of the globe, found out, he was disgusted, saying that "He would not house such an abomination". Before he could take the shotgun off the wall to kill her, her mother took her in her arms and fled, unwilling to lose her only child. They moved into a small apartment on the edge of Chicago, Her mother, Juniper, taking a low paying job at the local restaurant. Catherine scrounged up money however she could manage, often preforming shady acts as they struggled to make ends meet. 
Catherine began training physically, wanting to be able to protect her mother and herself as best as she could.

When she was 15, her mother's boyfriend attacked her, saying that she was a monster who didn't deserve to live. Struggling to defend herself, her hand changed into that of a cat, and she scratched his face, leaving a scar across his right eye. He backed off, and Catherine's mother came in. Upon seeing her daughter in tears and the man on the floor, Juniper was enraged, and grabbed the gun they always kept in the drawer, pointed it to his head and told him he had three seconds. The man left, but swore vengeance upon "That monster you call your daughter". Catherine has since been paranoid and antisocial, opening up only to her mother. She started training with her abilities, taking advantage of her speed and balance to slip in and out of places while stealing.

Other: She acquired the scar on her collar bone when someone tried to rob her, pulling a knife. The scar is about two inches long and faces upward towards her right shoulder.
