Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Kathryn Callaghan

Nickname: Kat, Ryn

Age: 17

Birthday: June 26

Sign: Cancer

Gemstone: Moonstone

Blood Type: AB+

Fav. Food: Creamcheese (anything with creamcheese in it or on it!)

Hated Food: Cooked vegetables of any kind- the texture is disgusting.

School: Meadoview High School

Hobbies:
1. Collecting Technology: Kat is a technology whore, to say the least. She’ll do pretty much anything to obtain the latest & greatest. She doesn’t necessarily use everything she buys, no no that’s not the point. She doesn’t care what it does or if it’s practical- she just has to have it. Something about opening a shiny new toy for the first time! She loves everything from the shininess, to the distinct smell of something recently opened (think new-car smell) to having the ability to gloat and say “Yea, that new iPad? I’ve got it. And that Kinect thing on Xbox? Yep, pre-ordered!” to anyone that asks.

2. The Internet: Kat can sit at her computer for hours on end. Now, she’s not a recluse. She isn’t socially inept or shy. She’s just complete and utterly fascinated by everything that goes on online. She will literally refresh Facebook over and over just to read updates. It’s become part of her daily routine to check through a series of websites- from LiveJournal, to Facebook, to PostSecret, to various forums she participates in. There is hardly anything that can take her attention away from it once she’s online.

3. LiveJournal: Everything that goes on in Kat’s life is documented in her online journal. She finds comfort in the fact that regardless of what she writes, no one will judge her. Her journal is for her eyes only and she loves that she can look back on it days, months and even years later and recall every moment in her life; big or small.

4. Self-Defense: There are bad people in the world and Kat's parents always taught her that she should be able to defend herself against them. Ever since she was a young girl, they put her in self-defence classes. While at first she loathed going (mostly because she was a young teen and hated doing what her parents told her to do), she absolutely loves doing it now (clumsy or not)- something about the adrenaline rush, getting your blood pumping and knowing that she could probably kick anyone's butt. She attends a women's self-defence class weekly, and is considering going into kick-boxing from there to increase her skills.

Virtues:
1. Determined: To say Kat is determined is almost an understatement. Once she puts her mind to something, there’s not much that can stop her from doing it. A lot of that determination gets put towards achieving the newest piece of technology to add to her collection. However, it doesn’t stop there. She’s determined to get good grades, make people happy and achieve her goals (whether it be defeating an enemy or winning a game). She likes to get things done and will go to great lengths to do so.

2. Funny: Kat is pretty hell-bent upon the fact that she has a great sense of humor. She loves to make people laugh, and tends to laugh at her own jokes. While her sense of humor can sometimes be rude and crude, she insists that the more she makes fun of you (in the nicest way possible, she swears!), the more she likes you. If she’s not making goofy remarks, she probably doesn’t like you much at all.

3. Loyal: Friends till the very end~ Kat has an unwavering sense of loyalty. Once she’s made a good friend, she’s in it for the long haul. If someone she cares about is in need, she’s usually the first person there to try and make it all better. She may not have a huge group of friends, but the ones she keeps around mean the world to her and she sticks it out through thick and thin. If she tells you she’ll do something, she will – and she’ll put her very best effort into it. If she gives you her word, that’s srs bzns!

4. Cheerful: There isn’t much that can put Kat in a bad mood. She’s pretty easily amused and genuinely loves to be happy. She doesn’t understand those brooding people who are constantly grumpy. What fun could that possibly be? She finds being in good spirits allows her to get things done- and grumpy people aren’t funny darnit!

Flaws:
1. Blunt: While Kat may think her jokes are omghilarious, not everyone else does. She generally knows when to draw the line, but she happens to be rather blunt in her sense of humor. If you ask if you look fat in that dress, she’ll not only say yes, but she’ll also tell you that your hair looks ridiculous to top it all off! She didn’t mean to hurt your feelings... But you asked and she honestly thought it was funny!

2. Absent-minded: Kat is a walking definition of absent-minded; she is so lost in thought or preoccupied that she doesn't really realize what she's doing or what's going on around her. This makes her extremely forgetful and sometimes careless (particularly in battle). Because she's so completely absorbed in whatever it is that's going on in her head, she tends to be pretty clumsy as well- this girl can trip over her own feet (and usually does). While this may not seem like a big deal, when you’re the Senshi of Camouflage and you’re trying to be discreet, it doesn’t work so well when you’re tripping over yourself and everyone around you. Her lack of focus is a hazard to not only herself, but people she is working with- and can very easily give the enemy the upper hand. The only time this isn't an issue is if she's absolutely determined to get something done.

3. Explosive Temper: She tries to be a happy-go-lucky girl all the time, honest she does. She prefers to solve things with her sense of humor. She reallyreally wants to be a good friend! But once she’s pissed off, there ain’t much that can change that. Once she’s upset she’s foul mouthed, rude and just plain not fun to be around. Being the funny happy girl all of the time means she lets everything build up inside of her- then one day the tiniest thing sets her off.

4. Determined: This is both a Virtue and a Flaw- she doesn’t realize that no means no. If she wants to get something done, she will go to any means to do it... regardless how reckless it may be (for herself, friends and/or teammates).


PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Hair: Light Brown/Blondish, messy style, layered

Face: See senshi form~

Just a note... I fail terribly at coming up with attack names. XD Any suggestions would be fantastic and I'd love you forever? <3

First off, Congratulations on winning her!! I can already tell she's going to be kickass. XD

Hobbies:
I like what you have for these so far. I really like her interest in technology and the likes. My only suggestion would be to give her another hobby that will be more inclusive to others. I have seen some really awesome RPs that include something along the lines of IMs back and forth, or even an online chess game, but it's going to be a little repetitive if that's the only way one can get ahold of Kat.

Perhaps give her an after school activity? You could still have her other hobbies involved! Maybe something like a technology club she's trying to get others to join, or is already apart of? Or even a sport — just something that will open more and more opportunities for her to meet and interact with people.

For some reason, I can picture her updating her LJ from her iPhone during RP. XD;;




I've actually got to run to class now, but I'll finish looking her over once I get more time! Great job so far! Good luck!

Did you want me to wait a bit while you tinkered with your char more? ouo ~

Okay, so 'Clumsy' isn't going to work on there since flaws are about personality drawbacks and not physical ones. What you can do, though, is list a personality trait that makes her clumsy -- like if she's unobservant or unaware of her surroundings most of the time that would lead to her bumping into things, etc, etc.

Changed Clumsy to Absent-Minded~ Ready for marking again!
