    Personal Style: Catrina Luna wears the standard habit and wimple of her order.  Her mission favors a linen habit with a light grey apron, which is cooler than the stereotypical habit and easier to clean from the staining of a nurse's duties.

Personality: Soft spoken, polite and eternally calm.  Steely when pressed.  Has a special affection for the outcast, and a disdain for the upper classes and the undead.  Has a special dislike for the Blackwood vampires.   

Backstory: 

Catrina Luna was born, lived and took vows in a small village in the south-west of Mexico. Her order trained her as a nurse and put her to work in the local hospital.  She excelled at working with mentally disturbed patients because of her placid temperament and calming demeanor.  She gained a reputation for being unshakable, even in the face of non-human patients and hazardous situations.  Her reputation eventually led to an invitation to work at the Silver Birch Sanatorium to help with the prisoners that have become mentally unstable.

On the surface, Catrina is a loyal and pious Catholic.  But she has never abandoned the folk religion of her home.  Quietly, in secret, she is a devotee of Nuestra Señora de la Santa Muerte, Our Lady of the Holy Death.  In a small rock alcove in The Hill, she has a small shrine with black votive candles and a small skeletal figurine.  There she prays and leaves offerings of flowers, apples and whiskey.  She believes that Lady frequently works miracles at the Sanatorium, protecting the staff and cutting the ties that bind harmful conditions to her patients.  She sees no contradiction between her Catholicism and her devotion to the Lady.

Skills/Specialties:  

Catrina is a fully qualified nurse with a specialty towards those with mental problems (from a late-19th century perspective, at least.)  This gets complicated in a supernatural world.  She can council vengeful ghosts and tend to werewolves who have lost control to their wolf-mind.  She is educated, can speak/read english, spanish and french fluently, and can debate the finer points of Catholic theology.  

Anything Else:

Catrina tends to a small pack of werewolves who have slipped completely into a feral state.  They live in a fenced field just off the Sanatorium proper, roaming admits a small forest that they consider to be their territory. Catrina is accepted by the pack and tries to model human behavior for them.  She hasn't had much success bringing them back to humanity, but it has gained her some respect from the Werewolf gangs.
