KATHERINE "KAT" GERAU
24|APOTHECARY WORKER|HALF BLOOD (AT LEAST)
Katherine was chosen by a special wand when she was eleven. The NINE INCH long wand made of sacred WILLOW with a core that was twin to another wand chose her. Her wand holds the left half of Hecate's beloved she-beast's heart. Like it's twin, it can be used to aid with great and powerful magic, but the darker parts always find themselves as a temptation. This wand can only be used by the one it was intended for.
Since the wand chose Kat, she was placed under protection by Dumbledore where she met Addie.
Katherine is best known for her observant and normally calm demeanor. However, as calm as she may seem, she isn't always as collected as she seems. At a young age, she was taken in by her godmother, as her parents had gone missing after a trip they had decided to take as a second honeymoon.
Katherine began showing signs of magical excellence when she was young. She found herself drawn very much to studying to see how things worked, and before long, her godmother found her taking things apart and fixing them. However, her godmother knew this magic was different when Katherine watched her beloved bird, a canary named Selene, died and all she could feel for days was the weight of depression. She noticed everything around began to wither as well.
Then, once Katherine got over it, everything returned to normal. Katherine often bonds better to animals and plants over humans. She seems a bit anti social, but she has trouble trusting people and an even harder time connecting to them. She also has a love of the sky, and her heart often lies more with animals that dwell in it.
When she turned eleven, she received her letter to Hogwarts, and she and her godmother went into Diagon Alley and into Ollivanders. Katherine was allowed to hold wand after wand, and the ones she didn't break caused her to break other things. It was when Ollivander brought out a wand from his secret store. Upon bonding with the wand, Ollivander made a call to Dumbledore, as he had the first time.
So, instead of going to Hogwarts, Katherine was taken under Dumbledore's wing, and she met Addie Vallis. The one who was like her, and Katherine began looking up to the older witch then.
As Katherine began to learn control over the powers she possessed, she became more and more curious as to how things worked, and she often delved her studies into darker magic. She has a thirst for knowledge and she always wanted to understand the anatomy of how spells and other magic worked. Potions, transfiguration, and dark magic were what she took most to, but her heart always had her back in herbology and animals.
She went to work in an apothecary because she is best with things that help others, but also require little human interaction. She brews potions and grows plants for the apothecary in which she works, but things changed once Voldemort rose again.
ADDITIONALLY;;
-Katherine is a bit different. Normally rage is the most destructive emotion, but for Katherine it's her depression. She has fought it from a young age and it often makes her more susceptible to fall into darker things.
-Though she prefers to be called Kat, Katherine doesn't mind her full name. She actually likes it a lot, unlike when she was younger and thought it was 'an old tart name.'
-She is left handed.
-Has a love for the sky that only compares to her own curiosity. She loves it because it reminds her that something that holds such beauty can be powerful, and though it holds power it can be free.
-Her favorite creatures are Hippogriffs, Thestrals, and Dragons, all for their own separate reasons. However, because she can't own one where she lives, she has two pets. Her black and grey owl Smoke, and her raven named Shadow.
-She keeps a journal on her at all times. She finds it therapeutic. Overall, she has many full journals that are from lessons, her own personal research, and other things. She likes being able to look back at things to learn from old mistakes.
-Doesn't know much about her family, other than her last name is Gerau.
-Would love to work more closely with nature, as she loves the outdoors and nature.
