Strengths and Weaknesses: WIP
{ + Long distance running }
Due to her time in a track club, during 6th to 12th grade, Katarina is quite an established runner.
{ - Taking care of injuries }
It's safe to say that Katarina is terrible at treating wounds- something that's quite noticeable.
{ + Determination }
Katarina has always been quite determined, to the extent she doesn't stop pursuing her goal until it's complete.
{ - Insomnia }
Ever since her childhood, sleep hasn't been an easy accomplishment for the brunette.
{ + Endurance }
Katarina isn't one to tire out easily, fortunately that means she'll often trudge forward regardless of exhaustion.
{ - Loyalty }
While loyalty is deemed a good thing, Katarina's loyalty can led her to do foolish things for those she cares for. It'll often reach the extent that she'd be willingly to lie for them if the case ever arises.
Personality:
Katarina can be quite defensive and quick to bite at times, but she's loyal nonetheless. Her defensive nature only comes out when she happens to feel threatened by something or someone. In a way, you could say she developed this trait due to the sheltered life her parents tried to contain her in. For Katarina, it's scary getting close to someone else and then being hurt by them- on purpose at that. Of course, it's quite difficult to force her to let her guard drop so easily, but she pushes herself forward nonetheless. She finds it foolish to remain scared about things when she has a chance to discover new things. This trait often leads her to trouble on more than one occasion.
Even under pressure, she's hardly the type to spill secrets to others, especially if it's a crucial piece of information. Then again, that may be her eagerness to keep secrets a secret from others coming into play here. However, if the secret happens to be something harmful.. then she might feel inclined to talk about it further with the person involved. She wouldn't hesitate to offer help, especially if it has to be discreet. After all, she wouldn't want anyone to be suffering when she can offer her help, to take away some of their suffering. However when it comes to her own suffering and troubles, she's inclined to keep her mouth shut and deal with her problems herself. During those times, Katarina is the type to act like nothing's bothering her.
Once trust is established with the female, Katarina is hardly the type to doubt her friends though that's hardly surprising. She prefers to give them the benefit of doubt, before allowing a misunderstanding to occur between them. Of course, it helps the female a lot that she's quite observant, making sure she spots every single detail. Pushing that aside, Katarina can be fairly affectionate and playful towards those she treasures dearly- even a bit flirtatious at that. In fact, she wouldn't hesitate to act affectionately with them, excluding any acts of intimacy that might require more work.
When it comes to intimacy and affection for others, Katarina can be a very giving person, having no qualms in showering them with affection or even subtle touches. However, she's prone to becoming territorial if she feels like someone else is stealing all the attention from a loved one. In fact, she doesn't enjoy the thought that she'll lose someone because of someone else's actions. Of course, she knows this is a bad thing to feel but she can be rather impulsive in that state and do things she'll possibly regret in the near future. Katarina can also be quick to shout or bite back if someone is speaking about her in a cruel manner or a loved one of her's at that.
History:
Ever since childhood, Katarina has always had an active imagination which led to her own disbelief when Slender man first appeared to her. Initially, she had fallen under the belief that he was a being she created- nothing more than that. Slowly her thoughts began to change as the sightings grew more frequent to the extent that she could always spot him in the corner of a room or even in the middle of a crowd. What was once feelings of curiosity and happiness gradually began to change to fear and caution. Her dreams were frequently haunted by the images of the man whisking her away in the night and possibly harming her in the process. This resulted in the young girl constantly staying up late, to the extent that it affected her work in school and social relations as well.
The brunette tried to tell her parents constantly but this mysterious being, but it only seemed to make the situation worse. Her parents promptly went to work and placed her in therapy and signed her up for a support group. They could only hope this would stop her fits and occasionally back then. At first, the support group did help considering there were others there who saw him just like she had. However, the numbers in the support began to dwindle as the mysterious being began to whisk them away to the unknown.
For the next few years, Katarina was given several medication to take in order to help stabilize her. With her parents' abrupt decision to move across states, the brunette was saved from the sight of her closest allies beginning to disappear as the days based. The therapy sessions still continued, though she was seeing another therapist at the time. Nonetheless, she gradually began to make a recovery by the time she had finally entered middle school and began to focus on other things- like the Track club and her studies. This helped her in forgetting about him and a majority of the thoughts concerning him. It had reached the point where she believed he had been a simple figure she created due to the horror stories she read as a young child.
As she was graduating high school, Katarina had landed a small scholarship at Harvard which prompted the brunette to go there. After all, Harvard was practically a dream school for any adolescent given the multiple courses that educational building offered. Her parents did try to convince her to chose a university closer to home, but she was quick to protest. And with that, Katarina has been attending Harvard for the past year- this year being her second.
How You Feel About Slender Man: At the very beginning, Katarina saw him as a simple friend- someone that she created out of her own imagination. However, it did strike her as strange that other children could also see him. Nonetheless, she wasn't fearful of him- more or less curious about him instead. It often led her to ponder which story she read that inspired her to imagine him. The frequent sightings and the nightmares were the red sign that made her grow cautious and fearful of Slender man. It's safe to say she wants to be rid of him permanently- not wanting to be stuck in a loop of fear when it concerns the supernatural being in question. If it's possible to get rid of him, then she'll be quick to take that opportunity.
