"Life's about having fun, you don't want to look back and have regrets later because you played it safe,"Katherine Parker
Age:32
Profession:English Professor at Cardwell University
Sexuality:Homosexual
Stengths:Top of the Class: When Katherine was in college, she was top of her class all throughout her four years of studying to become a professor. She's highly intelligent, and excellent writer and teacher, and she is currently writing a fiction paper to be published later that year in a literary short series novel. She's got quite a high IQ, is intuitive and a deep thinker, and usually a good person to come to for anything literature related.
Social Butterfly:Katherine is not shy, not in the slightest. She can hold a conversation with anyone, is very good at acting professional when she needs to, and basically gets along with almost everyone she meets. She's very charming, a great listener, and even good for a piece of advice if you need it. She loves having intellectual conversations, Liles learning about people and the things they've been through, and in general just enjoys being around people.
Attentive: If someone has got Katherine's attention, she is definitely one to notice the small things. She's good at reading body language and picking up on people's moods. If she cares about someone, she will do everything she can to make them happy. She will make a fool of herself just to make someone laugh, and she enjoys being silly. But she's very observant and attentive to those who have a place in her heart.
Weaknesses: Impulsive: Katherine can become distracted easily and allow her impulses to take over, causing her to act more boldly than she normally would otherwise. She isn't one to always think things through, and that can sometimes get her in trouble. She also will make rash decisions when she is angry, and may come to regret them later on.
Bad Reputation: Despite her stellar reputation in teaching, Katherine has made somewhat of a namefor herself at Cardell University. There are often rumors being whispered between ears about various things involving her life, and most of them happen to be quite ridiculous. There's a rumor that she's a vampire, that her parents are in the mob, that she sleeps with her students in order to hook them up with the mob her parents are in... All kinds of crazy things. None of them are true, but Katherine doesn't try and stop them from being uttered. They don't bother her, they amuse her more than anything else.
Short-Tempered:Katherine can get angry pretty easily, and she sometimes can jump the gun and take things too far when she's really pissed off. She swears like a sailor, is quick to cuss someone out who disrespects her in any way, and can get rather defensive if her feelings get hurt. She wears her heart on her sleeve and can be quite blunt, which can get her into heated arguments rather easily.
Personality:Humorous, adventurous, and carefree, Katherine isn't one to take life too seriously. She enjoys having fun, traveling, reading and writing, listening to all types of music, dancing, and just genuinely having a good time. She's intelligent, compassionate, caring, polite, kind, warm... But don't push her, because she will snap on people quick if they piss her off. Then she becomes rude, crass, defensive, and will be quick to cuss you out. She's nice and polite unless you push her too far, and then she's likely to make you cry with her words.
History/Bio:When Katherine was born, youngest of two to her two loving parents Penelope(Poppy) and Fred Parker, she had come out a pretty carefree child. She wasn't one to cry often, would often go on adventures by herself while humming loudly, and had dreams of being a professional dancer.
While she was growing up she was spoiled. Her parents gave her whatever she wanted, which happened to be years of various dance classes and the like as that was all Katherine wanted to spend her time doing was dancing. She had plans to go to school for it specifically once she finished her mandatory education, and specifically wanted to get into Julliard if they'd take her. But when she was a senior in high school she had an accident while doing a ballet recital, and she hasn't been as good a dancer since.
She still applied for Julliard, though she didn't get in. Now with three screws in her left knee and two in her right knee, Katherine quickly gave up her dreams of being a professional dancer as she could hardly keep up with her love of ballet anymore let alone any other form of dancing.
Saddened, she turned to her other love, teaching. But rather than teach dance, Katherine decided to teach college English. Literature was her other love, and she'd always been interested in teaching. So after years and years of college, she finally became a profession teacher.
She's been at Cardell University now for six years, and though she's had her share of us and downs, she can't think of a reason to leave. She loves her job, loves the students that she gets to teach. She had a reputation of course behind closed doors, but she just chuckles at that. Her life is pretty good as of late.
