General Appearance: Catarina is a beauty amongst women. She stands at a solid five foot eight and weighs next to nothing at a little over a hundred and twenty-five pounds with the figure of a gymnast that any woman would die for. Toned, yet curvy in all the right places, she isn't afraid to show off her body. Full lips, long lashes, high cheekbones, perky breasts, tight abs, she's what every man wants and every woman wants to be. Except for the scars that take up most of her body.

Unless someone is looking really hard, her scars are barely noticeable. Each scar tells a different story and she isn't afraid to tell people what she has survived, though she's not stupid enough to tell them the whole story. Because of the life she has led thus far, she has two tattoos that show the two major phases in her life. The first tattoo, a series of stars running from her right hip across her stomach and around to her back, reflect her life in college were she was the rising star. The other scar reflects that later years of her life. Resting between her shoulder blades where she believes she was stabbed in the back, there is a dagger, complete with dragon wing hilt, plunged into the heart of a blooming rose.

Clothing wise, Catarina wears anything that is lying around. Most days, when not working, she's a tank top and jeans kind of girl, but there are random times when she has this weird urge to wear long dressed and heels. While at work, however, she tends to wear knee length skirts or dresses with knee high heels. All of that under her white doctor's coat. Her hair is always down, but it reflects whatever she is wearing. When in jeans and a T-shirt, her hair is unkempt and messy. When at work, her hair is professional, often done in perfect curls. Any other time, her hair flows free and long, sometimes in curls, sometimes ramrod straight, depending on her mood.

Personality: Catalina is a kind hearted loving person. Deep down, all she wants to do is take care for people. She has a loving nature and kind deposition in which she does anything for everyone that will take it from her. She is loyal to the end, willing to give all of herself when she trusts someone enough. She gives a hundred and ten percent of herself to everyone she has come to care for and for the patients that she takes care of.

Even with her kind nature, Cat has some problems that she hides really well. She has been abused more times that she can count and that makes her a little skittish and paranoid around new people, even patients. She shies away from any kind of affection, unless someone has proven to her how they feel. Touch is something she only does when she has to, like dealing with patients or shaking hands when she meets someone. Even with all of this going on, she still manages to keep her perky and kind nature, never wanting to bring people down because of her problems.

Even after being abused, Cat has one problem that she has never gotten rid of, and it has brought some of the abuse down on her. She tends to anger very easily and, because of her sincere and brutally honest nature, she tends to let her mouth get the best of her. She will speak her mind, letting anything she has to say about the good and bad in life come out without even bothering to think about it. This has caused some of the problems that have molded her personality into the blunt, paranoid, yet still caring doctor.

// General History:

Character History: Catarina Corazon was born in Madrid, Spain nearly thirty years ago. Her family was like any other Spanish family in that time, except for one thing. They housed a family secret that few would have believed unless they saw it. Her childhood was normal and she lived like any other only child. She was spoiled and pamper by her parents and the grandparents that she visited almost every weekend. She was perfect little girl, even at three and four years old. She was intelligent, never misbehaving, and her parents loved her for it. The one thing her family had problems with was her curiosity whenever they stopped talking as she walked in the room. She knew that they were hiding something, but she didn't know why she couldn't know what it was.

On her fifth birthday, her parents and grandparents had decided that it was time to tell her, believing the intelligent little girl they all loved so much would be able to keep the secret. On that day, her grandfather told her that he wasn't really her biological grandfather but had married her grandmother after the birth of her father. Thinking this was the surprise, the five year old told him that she didn't care at all. It was when she was told that the secret was bigger than that that she began to worry. She watched as he grandfather started to strip out of his clothes before shifting into a beautiful gray wolf. Shocked that he was going to get the response from the granddaughter he loved so much as he had from the step-son he had loved, the shock was apparent in her grandfather's eyes as she began to giggle at him. She then walked up to him, kissing him on the head, and telling him she didn't care what he was, as long as he always loved her as she loved him. That was the moment Cat found out about werewolves.

Years passed and Cat's knowledge and intelligence only grew, as did her beauty. When she was fifteen, she graduated from high school in Spain, wanting to go to Italy to medical school to be an OB / GYN and Pediatric doctor. She figured that she could help out her grandfather's people with the knowledge she learned there. Not wanting to leave their under aged daughter in Italy alone, her whole family moved to Italy. There, her grandfather asked the local pack leader, a bitten ancient named Romulus, if him and his human family could join the pack. Romulus agreed and the five were added to the pack, but it soon became obvious that it had been a mistake. A mistake that would cost most of his family their lives.

Cat continued with her schooling, going to med school at the age of nineteen. She heard from her family once a week for a while, but that slowed down to almost nothing while she was in med school. Soon, she didn't hear from parents at all. When she graduated from med school at the age of twenty-four, her parents were there, but something was wrong with them. They weren't the happy parents she had left, but somehow tired and hurt. She didn't know what was happening until she arrived back at their home and Romulus singled her out for her beauty. Not knowing what was going on or what to do, she heard about the death of her grandmother, the disappearance and presumed death of her grandfather, and the abuse of her parents. Marius, Romulus's son, had been a good friend of hers since they had moved to Italy and he explained it all to her just before his father took her.

That night, a week after she became a doctor, she watched her parents killed by Romulus. It was also that night she received the first torture of her life. Every time she refused to bed Romulus, he would cut her again. Soon, her entire body was riddled with thin cut marks, but she was strong willed and still refused to bed with him. The next night, he came back and did the same thing. It went on for a week until he realized it wasn't going to happen, so he sent Marius in to talk to her. That night, Marius saved her life by treating her wounds, cleaning them. He told her that she needed to be with his father or she would die, but again, she refused.

The next night was the night her life changed forever. Romulus came to perform his normal torture, but instead of telling her she needed to bed him, he told her that Marius had taken a liking to her and that she was to bed him. Not wanting him to think that she was more than willing to go to Marius, knowing his secret kindness, she refused for several hours before pretending to finally break and going to Marius. For a year, Marius pretended to be Cat's lover, though it was mostly him sleeping on the couch while she had his bed. He cared for her when her mouth ran off at his father and the older wolf beat or cut the hell out of her. The problem was, Cat didn't hate the pain of the blade for long. She body adjusted, which just made the torture change and become worse, yet Marius always seemed to be there when it was over with.

All the while she was being tortured on a regular basis and pretending to be Marius's lover, she was working as a doctor at the local hospital, hiding her pain and scars from the people there. Yet whenever there was a problem with the pack, she had to drop everything to be there for them, often stitching up the people Romulus had cut up. Her pretend relationship with Marius lasted for a few years, until his father started to notice that Marius didn't smell like sex when he met with him in the mornings. Cat, having been raped more times that she could count by Romulus and his closest advisors, didn't want that kind of relationship with Marius. That is, until she saw just what kind of torture Marius got when he refused his father. Scared for the only person in the pack whom she knew and trusted, she cared for him that night, but the next morning, before he was to meet with his father, Cat showed him just how much she hated to see him hurt and they became lovers for real.

More years of torture followed until Cat couldn't take it any longer. She had helped Marius plan the escape of his sister, someone she had never met seeing as she was either at the hospital, the torture chamber, or Marius's room, never allowed to talk to any other wolf but Romulus or Marius, and she wasn't even supposed to be having a conversation with him. With helping Marius, she had a few ideas of her own, but she wanted Marius to come with her. He refused, but found her a safe house and a way out, helping her the next day to leave the hell she had been in. She traveled to the safe house he had set up for her in Spain, her home country. She began to work at the hospital, but never made any friends.

She heard rumors from the local wolves, who came to her whenever they needed help, knowing about her history with them. One such rumor was of the packs in the United States and how they were tolerant and caring of their humans, protecting them instead of hurting them. Wanting away from the type of wolves in Europe, Cat fled her home and took the first flight to New Orleans, hoping to start anew there. She began her own practice with money Marius had left her and was finally at peace. But there was something missing. Though she had her own practice, she wanted nothing more than to be in a pack again, be involved with the health and lives of the wolves. Maybe she would find Marius again, her only true friend in this world, or maybe she would be make new friends in a pack that didn't abuse their humans.

Sample here:

Cat groaned as she pushed the broken ultrasound machine down the hallway of her New Orleans office. This had been the second one in a month. Maybe she should stop buying them used, possibly break into the extra money Marius had left her and a buy a brand new one. Shaking her head, she nodded to one of the nurses as she walked by, grumpy smile on her face. All of her nurses knew about her distant nature, knew that she was friendly but that conversation with her was always one sided, though no one knew why. She could look down at her hands and see the small scars there. Only someone with a trained eye could see them.

She pushed the ultrasound machine into the broken machine room and locked it back up, moving down the hallway toward her office. She took her white lab coat off and tossed it on the coat rack by the door. Grabbing her bag, she walked out of the office, saying her goodbyes to all of the nurses who were waiting for her to leave first so they could clean up. She moved quickly through the now familiar streets of New Orleans, heading to her favorite bar. She had a drink there every night before walking back to her small apartment in the center of the French Quarter.

Walking to the bar, Cat's memory flashed to life for a minute as she spotted broad shoulders and dark hair cut around a corner. Shaking her head, she knew that it couldn't be Marius. She went to the bar and ordered her drink, turning around as soon as she had it to scan the crowd. Again, she had a sense of familiarity from the dark haired man, but she shook it off. She wasn't even paying attention to him until he was looking at her. Her heart stopped beating for a second, her brown eyes grew wide, and her hands clenched her drink as one word left her lips. "Marius."
