Catarina is often dressed in [url=https://cdn.mirror.wiki/http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131219120230/darksouls/images/4/44/Catarina_Armor_Concept_Art.png]full plate armor[/url], and despite it's silly appearance, is nonetheless a masterwork set of armor that actually allows Catarina to tumble and parry blows much easier thanks to it's curvy design. Catarina isn't nearly as thick as her armor would imply, though underneath the leather and metal she is certainly a very well muscular and healthy young woman. She has very few cuts or scars despite her experience in battle, though her hands and feet certainly show callouses of swordsmanship. Outside of her armor Catarina doesn't mind feminine dresses and the like, though she typically wears trousers and tunics since they don't get in the way of her armor, should she need to don it quickly. Catarina does like to keep her hair somewhat long (at least shoulder length), though she wraps it up into a bun when she gets into her armor. She generally eschews make up and jewelry even during casual outings, though she may dress up for formal events.

Age: 23

Race: Human

Biography: Catarina is the daughter of a mercenary, her mother being an armorer. Instead of being raised as a "proper" lady as her mother wanted, Catarina was more interested in the romanticized adventure and warfare her father would tell her at bedtime. She grew up learning how to handle the blade instead of courtly things, though she did at least learn how to take care of herself, cooking and living off the land. She joined her father in battle when she was only thirteen years old, at first merely standing by his side and reloading his crossbow, but by the time she was fifteen she took up the sword and killed her first man. It was shocking at first, taking someone's life, but soon she grew to actually like the heat of battle, despite the monumental risk of death and worse. Around the same time Catarina's mother gave brith to a baby boy, her little brother. By the time Catarina was eighteen years old, her father was grievously wounded in a battle and no longer fit to fight. But with the earnings he and Catarina made as mercenaries, they were able to afford a home to settle down in. With a young child to raise, Catarina's mother and father retired as a small smithy to raise the young boy. Catarina however wasn't finished with her life of adventure yet, and set off to earn fame and fortune, making sure to send some of it back home to take care of her mother and father.

Skills: Catarina is a very skilled fighter, specializing in the bastard sword. She's also a highly-trained duelist and knows how to handle a weapon in each hand, though she often prefers the use of sword and shield. Catarina's personal sword is called [i]Domina[/i], a blessed Mythril Bastard Sword. She's capable of a variety of combat maneuvers, such as tripping or disarming her foe. She also has a light spiked shield which she knows how to use well, and often uses both her sword and shield in tandem while in battle. She's strong enough that her blows often cleave through one enemy and into another, allowing her to clear opponents who thought to surround her. Lastly she's proficient with other weapons aside her sword, though she's carries a crossbow and a dagger made of cold iron. Catarina is no monk, but she's also a capable hand-to-hand fighter, though of course she prefers a weapon.
