[b]Characterization notes[/b]
-	Dripping with sarcasm. Will make fun of you in sideways jabs.
-	Speaks in a low, sultry voice which cracks upwards when stressed.
-	Comments are often enchanted – her words cut, enchant, sing, and tug at your heartstrings, as she desires.
-	Rather than becoming guarded when challenged or questioned, she refocuses conversation. This speaks to her entire methodology regarding conflict when others bring it to her.

[b]Personality[/b]
 Cata knows what she wants and she plans to get it. She is an avid social butterfly, mingling easily into social dynamics and befriending strangers quickly. She’s known for both her thick, honeyed words, and her sharp wit. She knows what to say and when to say it. When to poke fun, when to nurse vulnerabilities, when to be kind, when to scathe, when to jest, and when to speak earnestly. She is seen to have impeccable timing of wit and a genuine kind heart. She is seen as someone who can be leaned on, but won’t entertain bullshit.

However, none of this is a genuine take on what she’s really doing. Catarina ruthlessly pulls the strings of all those she interacts with so she can advance her demonic agenda and uses people as tools. She plucks heartstrings in dissonant chords while polishing her faithful tools. It’s simply that maintaining a ‘genuine’ front happens to be advantageous to her. She will ruthlessly throw close friends under the bus if she feels it will be advantageous, and she will not hesitate.

Cata flexes between a calm front and an earnestly acted display of being hurt or enraged as suits her best. When she needs to be stoic, she will maintain composure, deflect inconvenient questions, and maintain a high ground. When she deems it advantageous to show emotion in order to get something she wants, she will pivot and lash out or cry, displaying how she’s been hurt to others.

Again, this conceals how she really feels. Her emotional range is just as broad as anyone else’s. Inconvenient questions make her seethe and heartbreak makes her empathise, but she has learned to put these aside and use them as learning opportunities. Her emotions become clues, betraying how others may be feeling, allowing her to act appropriately.

[b]Occupation/Position:[/b] Office of Intrigue Mage – the Ducal household exchange a study, access to secret chambers, and a decent pay for her powers of scrying, binding, and pain.
