LOVER OR FIGHTER? — Not so much one or the other, Catheryn doesn't make a habit out of expanding energy on loving or fighting. They seem insignificant, in the grand scheme of things; she's been around for a very long time, and the one thing she's learnt is that change might seem constant, but mortals always regress before long. If she has to choose, it would be loving, in the loosest sense of word. There is Marko, and Rialto, and Alexander, and Drake, and she wouldn't say she loves them, but there's a deep, innate loyalty there, the closest to love she's ever known.
POP OR ROCK MUSIC? — They're both pretty much the same, in her opinion. Heavy beats, overwhelming bass lines, the desperate desire to hang onto a youth that's quickly running out. It's a nice reminder that, if nothing else, she has time on her side. Death looms on others like it does not loom on her, and she supposes there was a time where this was an unfamiliar feeling, but she's been in this liminal space for so long, it's become a part of her. Catheryn enjoys music in an arbitrary way, she likes when it's in the background, a subtle companion, not when it's too loud, or in-her-face. Pop, or rock, it doesn't matter, everything blends together in the end.
OUTDOORS OR INDOORS? — Outdoors, definitely. Catheryn likes being in nature, under the sky, amongst the trees. Under the dark, velvet blanket of night is where she prospers the most. It is cooler at night, evening wind blowing away the heat of the day, and Catheryn likes being under the stars. Being a vampire limits where she can roam, the sun paints its invisible borders on the ground and she must abide to them, as much as she dislikes being constrained. The night affords her freedom that the day cannot, and Catheryn likes the outdoors, especially when the moon is out.
SHY OR OUTGOING? — Not shy, but quiet, and not outgoing in the slightest. Catheryn is silence and restraint, listening instead of speaking. She wouldn't hesitate to join an argument, or even start one, but more often than not, she remains uncaring, too apathetic to invest herself into anything long enough to display how she feels about it. There is little that can stir her interest, and Catheryn is content to let the days simply pass her by. She can seem shy, at the very beginning, but don't let that fool you, she's got biting words and a mean streak that can quickly prove otherwise.

HUGGING OR KISSING? — Neither. Romance is not on her horizons, not right now, and not for the foreseeable future. Hugs are accepted, grudgingly, but never initiated, and kissing is never done, no matter what. Catheryn isn't touch-averse, though she does value her personal space. Usually, Rialto sprawls over the top of her when she's resting, or Alex throws an arm around her, and she lets them, because it's a small comfort, to know that they're there, not that she'll ever admit as much out loud.
OPTIMIST, PESSIMIST, OR REALIST? — A realist to her bones, there is no reason to view the world through rose-tinted glasses, or see it as anything worse than it really is. There are those who live with hope in their lungs, and there are those who shroud themselves in misery, Catheryn is neither. There is no point, after all, how you view the world holds no bearing on how it will treat you, and besides, being a pessimistic vampire is a little cliché, is it not?
NIGHT OWL OR EARLY BIRD? — Night owl, no doubt about it. She cannot let the sun's rays touch her, and though early mornings sometimes mean it hasn't risen yet, Catheryn doesn't like playing chicken with her life. The night is more welcoming, she can go anywhere she wishes, just as long as she makes sure to find shelter before morning arrives. Rialto might disagree, or even Marko, both of whom enjoy heckling others when they're out and about during the day, she's decided that two out of five of them trying their best to get kicked out of their current home is enough.
HEAD OR HEART? — Head, undoubtedly. Catheryn spends a lot of time thinking, seeing as she doesn't speak much. Logic rules her much more than emotion, considering the latter isn't something she experiences very often. Most of her problems are easily solved with a little critical thinking, and more often than not, her (cold, unbeating) heart would just get in the way. Feelings are ... not exactly a weakness, but a detriment. Mortals care too much about emotions, it holds them back.
[div style="width: 60%; text-align: justify"]FIRST IMPRESSIONS — A flash of silver in the darkness, quiet but dangerous, a creature of the night. Could snap your neck if she so desires, more durable than the average mortal, the glint of fangs in the moonlight. Gone before a second glance, but she'll be back if she wants to, and you'll never even know.
WHEN YOU FIRST MEET THEM — Closed-off and apathetic, slow to speak and even slower to trust, blue eyes narrowed in contemplation. Intellectually motivated, will observe far more often than she intervenes. No hesitation to release biting remarks, revels in being mean to those who deserve it.
AFTER YOU GET TO KNOW THEM — More open to conversation, though still selectively silent, prone to bouts of disappearance when she's had enough of a certain situation. Will plays Devil's advocate just to observe the development of an argument, very curious about the motivations of mortals.
WHEN YOU GET CLOSE TO THEM — Difficult to achieve, she does not make friends easily and will more easily shun than accept. Extremely loyal to those who have managed to claw their way into her inner circle, would undoubtedly do anything to make sure they're safe, though still hesitant, or unable, to outwardly display this protective desire.
