"You don't know what I'm capable of, you don't know what I've done!"

GENERAL APPEARANCE: Kat has dark brown curlyish hair she preffers to wear down though it differs if it is hot out or not. She has never cut her hair before and doesn't plan to unless it get's too long, her hair never grew fast so she doesn't think that will be a problem. Right now her hair reaches about to her elbows and sometimes annoys Katrina when she is doing her school work, leaning forward over the papers by getting in her face, though she doesn't care much.

She hates her eyes. Not as much as her style. But she doesn't like taking after her father with her eyes. They are light brown-grey, and she has had many comments about her eyes, some good some bad. The good ones consist of things like "What pretty eyes, Kat!" and "Are they grey or brown? They look like a mix! I wish I had eyes like that!" the bad ones are mostly said behind her back. She has heard Lavender Brown saying her eyes looked as of a tortured soul's. Even sweet shy Neville has said comments like "They look as old as my grandmothers. Either she has been through some things or... Well, that would be impossible."

Kat isn't big on style. In fact she thinks she is horrible at it. She will wear whatever whenever just as long as it's comforatable, she is most set on just wearing her school robes whenever possible since she thinks her style is worse then a trolls, though in everyone elses eyes it isn't THAT bad. She likes to mostly wear jogging pants and a light tee if she has to wear something other then her robes.
MOST LIKED FEATURE: Her hair is the only thing she is proud of and it will stay that way unless her family get's their act together and notices her state of basic depression.
MOST HATED FEATURE: Her style. She HATES her style. In her mind she has the worst wardrobe in the world.
HERITAGE: English and Norwegein
ETHNICITY: Caucasian

"The mind is not a book, to be opened at will and examined at leisure."

GENERAL PERSONALITY: Katrina is a really closed off person, she doesn't trust very many people and rarely speaks up when someone is having a conversation that supposidly includes her. She keeps to herself and doesn't socialize much, you could call her autistic, really that's how much socailizing she does.

She has no hopes and does not wish to raise them, honestly she wonders how in the world she got into Gryffindor: she doesn't see herself as brave, or loyal or anything in any of the houses. She thinks she was put in Gryffindor because of her acting out and doing things kinda like pranking.

There is more to Katrina then meets the eye. She's very sensitive and can easily break down because of lack of attention and love, Katrina has very low self esteem and needs support, though she rarely get's it.
HOBBIES: Reading, Flying, Sitting and thinking
DISLIKES: Her brother
Her sister
Her parents
Liars
Slytherins
Pretty much herself
People snooping around in her buisness
Talking
Explaining things
LIKES: That rare time when she is happy
Flying
Her brother leaving her alone
Thinking
Books
Dreaming, as she get's away from the real world through dreams
Quidditch
FEARS: That she will never find love
Losing her one and only family member she actually cares about
SECRETS: That she likes flying and Quidditch
That her father is an ex-Durmstrang student, as everyone knows she may be quiet but she is not the most disiplined and she is afraid people will say her father was a bad dad, though he was.

"I enjoyed the meetings, too. It was like having friends."

GENERAL HISTORY: Katrina Olivia McGrace was born to British Daina McGrace and Norwegian Stefan McGrace on August 1st 1990, she was a glum child, though very excitable. She never understood why her father didn't care for her or show any happiness about her. This upset the little toddler, and she was always acting out, trying to get the attention of her strict and emotionless father. Her mother was always too busy to notice anything. She would always get in trouble for what she did, but the young girl didn't care. As long as her father noticed her, still she was unhappy though, she was a curious child whose needs were not fulfilled.

By the age of three, in her father's eyes Katrina had received the rank "lille djevelen" which means "Little Devil" in Norwegian. Now, she wasn't ALL bad, but lack of attention was driving her nuts. She was in her "LOOK AT ME DADDY! LOOK!" stage, and wasn't getting what she wanted, when her brother Mitchel came along, it horrified her, she had even less attention now. And she didn't like that, no. She already despised the baby, who was getting the attention she never got all because her mother had decided she should take time off work.

Age 5 was complicated. Now Mitchel was in his "LOOK AT ME DADDY! LOOK!" stage, and it looked as if Katrina softened her father up because he would watch Mitchel. He would even laugh. Katrina felt neglected, unloved and useless, a five year old shouldn't of felt like that, but she was driven that way. She was again starting to act out, making herself learn the feeling was now mutual between her and her parents after an incident with Mitchel getting hurt.

Now she was the worst child in history. At age 7, no one could discipline her, no one could get her to talk. Some said she had a muggle disease called autism. But no, she just didn't want to talk to the people she called family. In fact, she actually didn't call them family, if she even talked she would say she was disowned. Katrina was out of control, though she could manage cooking a bit and she was alright just having thin air to talk to she was just a child. It'd be like raising herself. Though it wasn't all that different now.

Nothing changed throughout the next three years. Mitchel had all the attention, Katrina was neglected. The first happy part in her life was when she was sent to Hogwarts, by then she had developed into her pretend autism, and may actually have it now if it's possible to develop into an autistic kid. When she arrived at her new school, she was sorted into Gryffindor, which surprised her since her mother was in Slytherin, her father went to Durmstrang and she showed no traits of which she thought fit the description of a Gryffindor, nor any other of the houses.

Kat spent her first and second year going from class to class, silent as a mouse. She never talked to anyone, barely and was smart to keep a low profile in the hectic Gryffindor vs. Slytherin world. She never was in the presence of anyone, and if someone came in the room, she would immediately leave it, hoping the person wouldn't pay attention to her. Now I know what your thinking, what happened to her wanting attention? Well, she thinks no one cares about her, that no one wants her around so, naturally Kat leaves them alone, she soon learned she enjoyed the excitment and freedom of Quidditch in second year, and was very pleased with how well she flew though she never let anyone know this or see her fly. She was furious when she learned her parent had had yet another child. One that would get more attention. One that would get more love. She also somewhat felt bad for Mitchel, little baby Cassie would be their parent's first priority, Mitchel would also learn what it felt like to be neglected.

Third and forth year were crap. Third year, Mitchel was getting ready to come and this unsteadied Katrina, she wasn't ready to have her sure-to-be-a-spioled-brat brother with her at school. Having her cousin Remus at the school helped though. He was really the only one she thought loved her in her family, and him being a teacher at the school helped her a lot, though she still avioded anyone else. The next year, she was extremely cranky. Mitchel was to join her in school. She didn't like that idea. She thought he would be a brat. She was a bit wrong though, he was pretty nice, he even was into books as she was, though his was a more natural liking as aposed to her being driven into it, turning what could have been into what would never happen and making her a book worm without her chioce.

In fifth year, that's when she began to fall apart, act out again, because every summer she went home, little Cassie was even more pampered, more spioled. She was jealous, though she didn't like the thought of being spioled. She was now more social, but not by much. If you took one wrong move and insulted her, she would snap at you. Though she was very calm most of the time, if someone did get near enough to speak to her they were abviously very wary of the girl and were careful to watch what they said in case they upset the already glum girl.

Now she's back for some more with sixth year! Will she be back to the quiet Katrina she used to be? Or will she continue to act out like in 5th year? Let's find out!
