.:Physical Appearance:. Catalina is as gentle looking as her personality suggests. She has a willowy form that suggests a distinct lack of muscle as well as body fat.

.:Personality:. A lot of things can be said about Catalina, most of them being negative but let us start with the positives shall we. First off, Catalina is a very outgoing and friendly kind of girl that seems to enjoy making new friends. She’s the kind of girl that can walk up to just about anyone and strike up a conversation with them. Being that she was born into the nomadic life of a druid, Catalina has a restless nature that stems from her people. She is the sort that has trouble sitting still for very long. While Catalina has a very friendly disposition, this doesn’t mean that she doesn’t have a temper on him either; it just takes a lot to bring it out. When she does get angry though, Catalina isolates himself from the problem until she is able to cool down. Having a distinct dislike of confrontation, Catalina would rather run than fight any day. She’s a very laid back individual that doesn’t let a lot bother her, feeling that it’s best to live and let live.
Because of her laid back attitude as well as her dislike of confrontation, Catalina is an easy target for ruffians and rivals. Unable to find the strength to stand up for herself, she is easily pushed around. Her somewhat naïve nature also allows for her to be manipulated by others, something that she acknowledges but feels is unable to changed. A gentle soul if ever there was one, she’d prefer to allow harm to come to herself than someone else any day and she’d not the sort to wish ill on anyone. She believes that peace can be attained with the proper attitude regardless of what others may happen to think.
Catalina has a strong sense of right and wrong and won’t participate in anything that she deems as wrongdoing. She has her need for adventures every so often but normally she’s too afraid to take the first step towards an adventure.. Catalina is the kind of friend that can be counted on for just about anything, whether it’s a shoulder to cry on or just someone to vent to, she’s there. She is very loyal and can be trusted with any kind of secret cause people know that she can keep secrets really well.
She is a very family oriented type of girl, very close with her older sister. She’d do just about anything to keep her family safe and secure. Her thoughts on a family of her own someday are way off since she’s rather young for that but someday she might want that. Love in generally is a nice thought, more a dream than a reality for someone like her. Something else that she values greatly is knowledge and the power that comes from it. Unlike her elder sister, Catalina takes being a druid seriously and studies magic and spells very closely. She has an exceptional memory so she's able to remember spells rather well.
She knows of the great purge from personal experience for her mother and father were both put to death and thus it had a significant affect on Catalina. Still, despite that, she doesn't hate King Uther Pendragon for killing her parents but would rather choose to understand why he allows his fear and biased view to blind him. Hatred is something that is foreign to the young druid.

.:History:.
Catalina's life is not exactly one that might interest most. She was not born to some lord nor did she share blood with royalty, she is just a simple druid as far as she's concerned. Her birth was a surprise really, Caldara had thought herself unable to bear anymore children due to complications with her first daughter Samara. Often referred to by her mother as a gift from magic, Catalina was born just outside of Ealdor. From then on, she was used to traveling with her parents due to them being nomadic druids. Sadly, Catalina would not grow to remember her mother and father for they lost their lives during the Great Purge. Catalina was never told how it happened, whether it was known or not to those that Catalina lived with, she couldn't be sure. She had only been a year old when it had happened and after that she was raised by her sister and the other druids.
Still, even without her mother and father around, Catalina grew to be a stable and intelligent young woman with a thirst for knowledge and a love and wonder of magic. Learning from a young age, she began her studies with the other druids and began to learn spells and potions. It was a life that Catalina was comfortable in, the life of a druid scholar with a hope for peace and co-existence of those with magic and those without it. Magic was so wonderful, she didn't understand how anyone could hate it as much as Uther seemed to. As the years passed, Catalina continued to grow and they continued to move around, never staying in the same spot for very long before they moved. It was the life of a nomad and Catalina enjoyed it despite the desire to stay in one place for a while. She understood why they kept moving of course.
A few times the druids would stop not too far from Camelot and Catalina would fall asleep looking at the turrets that seemed to reach to heaven. Very rarely did Catalina ever wish to be anything other than what she already was but there were times... What was it like within Camelot? To be a noblewoman with her many servants her her suitors that fight for her hand. To be a knight in the King's service or even a servant within the walls of the Castle, to have a stable home and a purpose in life. Surely that had to be wonderful. That was something that Catalina craved in her young life, a purpose in life and a way to use her magic for the good of others. Surely there was nothing wrong with that. Surely Uther couldn't see such a desire as evil, magic or no. Not that she would approach Uther as a druid, she didn't wish to lose her life because she used magic.
