Name
[center]Kat(erina) Wythburn| 5'8"| Human[/center]

[indent]Physical Description:
[indent][color=7d7d7d] A tall woman with hair that's just a bit too strict to be fashionable, Kat on the right side of her lip and another one on her temple. Her left leg has the mottled texture of a burn victim, and she walks with a slight limp favoring her left leg. Her body is toned, and it seems that only her face has kept any baby fat, something which she often despairs about. Her skin is a light brown and she has dark brown eyes. Her hands are roughened with calluses and small nicks. Usually dressing in her aviation leathers, Kat will wear a dress uniform for when hitting the town and for official occasions. It's rare to see her in a dress, though she owns a few for the odd occasion she goes on a date. [i][/i]  [/color][/indent][/indent]

[indent]Biography/background:
[indent][color=7d7d7d] A long ago descendant of those who fled Africa during the first transgression, Kat grew up as a comfortable member of the upper middle class in one of the Republics cities. Her father was a retired fighter pilot and her mother the daughter of an important aviation general. Growing up, Kat was surrounded by planes and the deepseated understanding that pureblood humans were superior, those who were tainted should be treated kindly, though not equally, and that the leviathans were evil. Kat also grew up with the deapstead understanding that she would also one day fly a plane, carrying on the tradition for her family. When she came of age, Kat enlisted in the air force, and gained a reputation for deft flying and surviving impossible odds in the face of the leviathan threat. Kat had been out in the middle of a year long patrol around the Alps when the zeppelin convoy she was assigned with was attacked by a group of Leviathans acting in concert. Flying out with her squadron, Kat engaged the flying leviathan known as Hulum the Trailing, a long, ribbon like leviathan that had been known for taking down zeppelin convoys on it's own. In the middle of completing a strafing run along Hulums back, Kat's plane engine failed and she began a steep and irrecoverable decline to the ground below. In her panic, something in Kat awoke, and in her desperation, an updraft that hadn't existed moments earlier roared to life, launching Kat's plane back up to one of the mortar balloons that had been lowered to bombard the Leviathans. Bailing from the destroyed plane, Kat was hauled back up into the balloon by a startled mortar operator. That same puzzlement soon spread to the entire convoy when the Leviathans, led by Hulum, began to retreat from the fight, sparing the lives of the convoy members. It was only after Kat had returned to her bunk after the fight that she allowed herself to think about what had just occurred. While a remarkably positive experience, Kat was still shaken by the thought of controlling those Leviathans to leave the battle. Kat's convoy is now returning from it's patrol, and is approaching the eastern border of the Republic. [/color][/indent][/indent]

[indent]Personality:
[indent][color=7d7d7d] Ultimately an optimistic person, believes the best in people, go so far as to extend her generosity to groups that have traditionally oppressed, namely, the tainted. Underneath her initial friendliness, however, lies the cold hearted capabilities of someone who knows how to kill and has done it before. Kat is also somewhat bitter over her failure to attract any suitors, seeing it as a personal failing. To combat this, Kat throws herself head-on into flying, an experience which makes Kat feel content with the world. [/color][/indent][/indent]
