Personality: Katarina is very very shy. not because she doesn't like people, or because she just isn't outgoing, instead her shyness stems from something much different, fear. Katarina is shy because of a fear of her own naivety, she does trust people, just about everyone in fact, she'll believe anything anyone tells her, and will give anyone a chance, and she is proud of that. It does however come with alot of downsides. and it has bit her in the butt more than a few times. Rather than become paranoid, and potentially sacrifice her belief that everybody is a good person, she has instead coped by being shy, and not drawing attention to herself. That said, those she does trust, or that manage to get past her quiet shell will find an almost sickeningly sweet girl who would give the shirt off her back to a complete stranger if they needed it. History: Born and raised in Goldenrod City, Katarina's father the owner of an excavation company, and her mother a retired radio personality turned stay at home mom. She spent her early childhood, incredibly sheltered and spoiled. She got used to getting everything she wanted when she wanted, and learned quickly that if she didn't get it, that a little crying and a pouty face could get it for her, she was a total brat. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately depending upon your perspective though, her parents were not fans of such behavior, and as a thirteenth birthday present she found herself completely cut-off. Being cut-off, Katarina was left with few options to acquire any luxuries she wanted. Eventually she came to a balance of doing without the accommodations she had come to expect for long periods of time, and on occasion helping her father with his work to make a few bucks. As time went on though, she ;became more and more complacent with just doing with the bare necessities, but that didn't stop her from hanging out at her dad's job sites. She would regularly go just to talk to the workers, help them with whatever they needed, and see the Pokemon at work. Over time she actually came to develop a fascination with the excavation work, often they would find fossils, or relics of the past, sometimes even entire cave systems. Katarina would often make sketches of their discoveries, a hobby that she soon became quite passionate about, and after awhile decided to pursue it as a full-time profession when she could. As such on her eighteenth birthday she decided to leave for Lumiose City, somewhere she could hone her skills, and have her work fully appreciated. Before she could leave however, her father gave her a going away present, a larvitar that had been one of the many pokemon that aided him in his business. With that, she set off, determined to become a famed artist no matter how unrealistic the goal might seem. Of course, being an amateur artist isn't particularly lucrative, that fact combined with her unwillingness has left Katarina broke, living in a tiny apartment, and desperate for cash. Other: Katarina has terribad eyesight without her glasses.
