Personality:
Catrinette, or Cat as she is sometimes called, is, as a general rule, a very quiet person, usually reluctant to speak. Growing up, she was always told that because she had chaos and shadow magic, she would turn out badly, become a dark mage. At first, she didn't believe it, thought everyone was wrong, and she would prove it. But the more and more she heard it, the more and more it beat her down, until she was sure that they were right. After all, if everyone judged her, as they did, how would she ever get ahead without taking what she needed? And it didn't help when the magic began whispering in her head, telling her to push the limits. That rules were for the weak, and she wasn't weak. She became a sullen, rebellious teen, acting up and lashing out. She had a few minor scrapes with the law, but nothing could ever be proved against her. However, for all intents and purposes, she was heading down the path that everyone expected of her.

That all changed one chilly night in November, when Cat was 17. She'd run away from home yet again, and was wandering the streets. In her bad mood, she got into a fight with someone. It was nothing worth worrying about, really, but words turned to blows, and by the time it was over she was left laying in the street, bleeding out, convinced she was going to die. However, powerful mage happened upon her, and used healing magic to save her life. When she asked why, when he didn't even know her, he told her that any life was worth saving. When she expressed doubts that hers was, because she'd done bad things, he told her that it was never too late to go back.

The two parted ways and Cat has never seen him again, but she took his words to heart. She was determined to turn her life around. That was the least she could do to repay the man who saved her life. She became a more caring person, always open to helping people, even when they don't appreciate it. She's determined to stop criminals, but she refuses to kill. She acknowledges that many are like she was, pushed into a corner, and she believes that most can be made to see the error of their ways and repent, if she tries hard enough. Still, her magic can be hard to fight at times. It tries to push her back towards her old bad habits. It is for this reason that she ultimately chose to join the Rune Knights, believing the discipline and the task of upholding the law will help her fight her darker impulses. She is still rather unpredictable, and her moods can vary greatly, often flipping from one emotion to the next in the blink of an eye.

Cat can sometimes be a bit headstrong, and she's never been one to simply blindly accept authority figures. However, she will fall in line when necessary, and will gladly follow a leader that she respects. She has no experience of her own in leading people, and she doesn't feel comfortable doing so, generally preferring to work on her own. When fighting, in the beginning she usually tries to hold back. However, her temper and impulsiveness can sometimes get away from her, and she can be very brutal and ruthless, although she always manages to pull herself back before killing anyone. She's working very hard on her self-control, and while she often slips up, she is always seeking to better herself.

Likes:

• The dark. As a shadow mage, it is comforting to her, and she finds bright light jarring most of the time.
  
• Quiet. She's very noise-sensitive, and loud noises tend to irritate and even anger her. This doesn't mean she expects silence, of course. She just prefers it kept down to a reasonable level...
  
• Cities. There's something about just going out and wandering the streets at night, anonymous, just another one of the faceless passersby. It's strangely relaxing, although she always keeps an eye out for any signs of trouble. Ironic, considering she would have once been looking to cause it.
  

Dislikes:

• Fighting. Her control is always most tenuous when she is fighting, and she doesn't like feeling as though she isn't fully in control of herself.
  
• Sweets. She's never been able to understand how people like sugary things. To her its an overwhelming and not exactly pleasant taste.
  
• Being judged for her magic. It's happened all her life, and she hates it. This is  the fastest way to set her off.
  

Motivations:

• Improving herself. She is driven by the idea of turning her life around and becoming a force for good, despite her less-than-ideal past.
  
• Power. Gaining power is always a powerful motivator. In this case, she wants power because she feels that to be a strong mage is the only way she'll be able to make a difference in the world.
  
• Finding the mage who saved her life. She someday wants to find him again, and show him that she took his advice to heart, and really did turn her life around.
  

Fears:

• Water. For some reason, she's always been afraid of it. Not small things, like a cup of water. Even showers and baths are fine. But large bodies of water, like lakes or oceans, or fast-flowing water, such as rivers, terrify her. It's a sort of combination between being afraid of drowning, and not being sure what could be lurking under the surface.
  
• Falling back into bad habits. She's afraid that if she relaxes her self-discipline even a little that she could end up on a slippery slope toward becoming the dark mage everyone always believed she would be.
  
• Losing control. Her chaos magic messes with her head, pushing her to do things she doesn't want to, and she's afraid that she'll some day completely lose control, to the point where she isn't even really herself anymore.
