[color=Cornflowerblue][h3][u][b]   APPEARANCE       [/b][/u][/h3][/color]
[i]"People jump to too many conclusions based just off of how they look."[/i]

[indent][indent]Katie has a rather distinct appearance. While she laments the fact that she didn't get her mother's looks or any of that she seemingly has embraced a different kind of self-love. First off, Katie is Asian with roots coming from the great country of China. She has white skin with heavy golden overtones and facial features very consistent with her people. Her facial features are round and pudgy due to her heavyweight for her size. Kaitlyn due to not inheriting her brother's metabolism is quite heavy in terms of weight. She has a gut, tons of stretch marks, and fat in her facial area. However, this weight has enhanced what little sex appeal she has because she wasn't going to get any from her flat-chested and assed mother. She, at the very least, has 44F cup size and her behind sticks out in jeans. Even if she's not a super big fan of tight clothing. Speaking of which, Katie is a fan of dresses and skirts and will most likely be seen wearing that. In contrast with her twin brother, her primary color is blue. The vibe that Katie gives off is different from the rest of her family. She presents a calm and reserved aura that reflects in her behavior, her voice is usually low and she like drawing any more attention to herself than necessary. Katie's sigil, [url=https://i.imgur.com/7848Dng.png]a symbol of a wave[/url], rests on the middle of the right side of her neck for the world to see.[/indent][/indent]

[color=Cornflowerblue][h3][u][b]    PSYCHOLOGY       [/b][/u][/h3][/color]
[i]"I keep my circle small, it's easier for all of us."[/i]

[indent][indent][indent]

[color=Cornflowerblue][b]MAIN GOAL  ⫻[/b] [/color] Katie's main goal has been getting a degree for Marine Biology and explore the deepest parts of the ocean. She's close to getting her master's degree so she'd be the most expert in the subject that she can be. However, her goal as of late has been getting over her nasty break up with her ex-girlfriend.

[color=Cornflowerblue][b]PHILOSOPHY  ⫻[/b] [/color] Kaitlyn's goal has always been about keeping to herself. She thinks the world would be a better place if fewer people focused on what other people are doing and focused more on themselves. That said, she's a girl that's all about self-improvement and becoming the best person she can be.

[color=Cornflowerblue][b]SECRETS  ⫻[/b] [/color] Kaitlyn's main secret is the fact that she's bisexual and the fact that she spent the last two years in a same-sex relationship. She knows her mother would renounce her if she found out, and keeps any mention of it strictly off social media. Katie is also a very secretive person in general that makes what she does, where she came from, and where she is, private as possible.

[color=Cornflowerblue][b]SEXUALITY  ⫻[/b] [/color] Katie is bisexual but keeps it relatively private as she doesn't want that information getting out. She accepts it fully but she thinks it's something she best keeps to herself.

[color=Cornflowerblue][b]FEARS  ⫻[/b] [/color] Katie fears her mother finding out about her sexuality and her secret relationship. Mainly because she hates disappointing her mother and she wouldn't approve of such a relationship.

[color=Cornflowerblue][b]REPUTATION  ⫻[/b] [/color] Because of her nature, Kaitlyn is relatively unknown throughout Araminta. If most people see her they probably wouldn't have a clue who she is. She likes it that way.

[color=Cornflowerblue][b]QUIRKS  ⫻[/b] [/color] Sometimes Katie has the habit of saying the wrong thing at the wrong time.

[color=Cornflowerblue][b]FLAWS  ⫻[/b] [/color] Katie is fearful, reserved, and is afraid of all the raw emotions she keeps repressed inside of herself for the sake of everyone around her.

[color=Cornflowerblue][h3][u][b]   BACKSTORY      [/b][/u][/h3][/color]
[i]"Do not bring up Amelia."[/i]

[indent][indent]To make a long story short: Kaitlyn's mother, Meifeng Zhao, and his aunt, Lijuan, moved to America from China because of her mother's (Lihua Zhao) dissatisfaction with China. They moved to a Californian metropolis known as Los Angeles, where they had a variety of different adventures. Meifeng grew up into a strong confident woman who went into college for a master's degree in criminal justice where she met her future sweetheart Daniel Liao. After a few years of romancing each other, they got married, and Meifeng became pregnant with twins. Justin and Kaitlyn Liao, two siblings that would pave the way for the bloodline's future.

There was a stark difference between the two. The two were a pair of wild and rambunctious people that caused headaches for their mother, father, and all other blood relatives in the vicinity. However, Kaitlyn was the more wild and passionate of the two, far more emotional than her hotblooded brother. But, other than that Katie's early life didn't have much of a note, Meifeng was at home raising them while his father was making the money for them to live comfortably. This built up a deep innate connection between the twins and their mother, who imparted many of her ideas and philosophy upon the twins - though she was unhappy with staying home by herself. Their grandmother, Lihua, stepped in and offered to take some of the workloads off Meifeng so she could pursue a career in the CIA. Their dual-earner family is what earned them a lot of money, and in turn, helped them live comfortably in Los Angeles. 

However, Katie was close to her grandmother who taught her, in time, that she as a woman needed to be calmer and more reserved. That she needed the discipline that her brother lacked - but she told her that her mother was the same way. Eventually, she taught the girl how to control her emotions, wisdom, but how to be fierce when she needs to, and everything she would need to succeed in life. At the cost of making her like an old lady. This meant that Kaitlyn fulfilled the role of calming her more hotblooded brother. 

In time, Kaitlyn pursued her own goals. The girl loved the ocean more than anything and she wanted to explore it, learn the animals that are in the ocean, and make breakthroughs as a scientist. Which lead to Kaitlyn taking up Marine Biology and going to the illustrious University of Araminta, where her twin-brother got sent to live with their grandmother in Farmer Hill and eventually go to a school local to the town. Being away from her family caused a huge shift in her life as she tried to get her master's degree. Kaitlyn realized something inside of her, the fact that she was more sexual than she let on. This didn't mean that she slept around, she realized that she was more attracted to people than she thought. And in time, she soon realized that it wasn't just boys she liked. 

Though the girl was in no rush to get into a relationship. She merely stayed focus on getting her degree and like most cliche college-aged kids she got a job at a local coffee shop not too far away from the university. Things changed when she ran into a girl named Amelia Dallon... it was a strange experience as the girl was seemingly at her coffee shop every day, then she found out that she was at the university too. Eventually, they started hanging out and became friends and eventually, Amelia dropped the question. It was strange for Kaitie, but she decided to try it out. The two went out on a few dates and had all types of fun and eventually decided to become a couple. And things were happy for the next two years.

But, all good things come to an end. It all started a few months before the start of the story when Justin called her all frantic explaining to her that her grandmother was murdered by something. This caused grief like no other in Kaitlyn as she became withdrawn from her social circle, classes, and eventually Amelia. After her grandmother's funeral, Kaitlyn took some time to herself. However, this didn't sit too well with Amelia as she felt like she was being neglected and ignored - mixed with the fact that she felt like Kaitlyn was [i]ashamed[/i] of her. Amelia kept trying to get close to Kaitlyn while she pushed her away. 

Eventually, Kaitlyn gave into Amelia and went out to a date at a nice restaurant. It was awkward as Kaitlyn felt that the magic between them was dying and ultimately chose to break it off. However, Amelia didn't take that too well and as Katie tried to walk away she grabbed her. She cried her heart out about how she loved Katie and how it couldn't end like this and it got mad creepy for Kaitlyn. Eventually, a fight broke out between the two as Kaitlyn tried to fight her ex off and in the middle of the struggle both Amelia and Kaitlyn Awakened. Amelia was pushed away from Kaitlyn with a sudden wave and couldn't get close to her. All while Kaitlyn hauled ass back to her dorm. 

This was strange as her Awakening unlocked an abstraction relating to the ocean. It felt like the ocean was at her very fingertips as she can bring it to hers. It was a beautiful experience that was unlike any other. However, Kaitlyn tried to move on with her life... but this was around the time her brother went missing and things got strange in Araminta.[/indent][/indent]

[color=Cornflowerblue][h3][u][b]   SKILLS & TALENTS      [/b][/u][/h3][/color]
[i]"I don't have much to bring to the table, I'm sorry."[/i]

[indent][indent][indent]
[color=Cornflowerblue][b]Marine Biologist  ⫻[/b] [/color] Kaitlyn is studying to be a marine biologist, and so far she is quite skilled and dedicated in her task. She is very informed about her subject and can name most marine animals right off the bat. Kaitlyn even took some swimming classes to improve.
[/indent][/indent][/indent]

[color=Cornflowerblue][h3][u][b]    EXTRA-NORMAL ABILITIES     [/b][/u][/h3][/color]
[i]"I'll show you something beautiful."[/i]

[indent][indent]

[color=Cornflowerblue][b]TYPE  ⫻[/b][/color] Awakened.

[color=Cornflowerblue][b]ABSTRACTION  ⫻[/b][/color] Thalassomancery, Kaitlyn can summon ocean-effects with a snap of her fingers.

[color=Cornflowerblue][b]ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION  ⫻[/b][/color] Kaitlyn's ability is rooted in her love of the ocean and the raw emotion she has inside of herself that she keeps contained for the right moments. Her abstraction is a strange mixture of ocean manipulation and water generation as she can summon ocean-effects and animals in the shape of water for short periods. This can manifest in the way of summoning a wave of water to wash enemies away, a whirlpool out of thin air, a water sprout, or water in the shape of a shark. She has a wide variety of potential as she can create animals out of the water to attack foes, and summon water out of thin air. She can simply summon a body of water, too. This gives her tons of raw offensive, defensive, and mobility options as her abstraction can be used to attack people, create barriers, and move away. Kaitlyn can also merely summon water and manipulate it to her heart's content. This also comes with a sub-ability of being able to stand on this ocean water which allows her to move around, and even a levitation ability that lets her float a few feet off the ground when she cuts loose.

[color=Cornflowerblue][b]AURA SENSING  ⫻[/b][/color] Kaitlyn's aura sensing allows her to see the auras of what is soaked or submerged in water up to ten meters away. She can tell which is what by the intensity of its aura as soaked objects have a less intense aura while what is submerged down.

[color=Cornflowerblue][b]LIMITS  ⫻[/b][/color] Kaitlyn is also inhibited by the Extra-Normal's innate resistance to each others abstractions. Her attacks are just less effective against them. Her summoning also only works for a short period of time as whatever she summons will disappear after a few moments. Usually, it'll disappear after it does the desired effect but some of her summonses will last for only a minute at most. Kaitlyn's ability is also relatively short-ranged being able to summon water within fifteen meters of herself. Of course, Kaitlyn can only summon one effect at a time and once she summons it, she cannot stop it before it disappears on its own.

[color=Cornflowerblue][b]WEAKNESSES  ⫻[/b][/color] Kaitlyn's abstraction comes with two weaknesses. First summoning water cools her body down, and the bigger the summon the more her body will cool down. Small effects won't have any noticeable effects but the more dramatic summons will cause one hell of a chill. If she cuts loose she'll come out of the engagement with hypothermia or may even freeze herself to death. The abstraction also causes an uncomfortable feeling of cold water on her body that gets worse the more she uses it. Along with loss of breath as if she was drowning in the water as if she's being submerged. Kaitlyn's abstraction also dehydrates her body as if she just consumed food rich in sodium, so she has to constantly hydrate to keep using her abstraction because it'll completely cut off if she does.

This is a character I wanted to make for awhile now that I use in an urban fantasy RP I run. Probably not my best sheet but I like how I portrayed her character.
