─────────── ⊰ Eyes on fire... ⊱ ───────────
Kathrine is a very strong-willed and quiet person
with a rather hostile air about her. She hides her
emotions from the world behind this mask of
hostility to keep herself from trusting too easily;
to keep herself from getting hurt again. Few
seem enjoy her company because of her icy
demeanor which is why she prefers to be alone
most of the time. Few know what lies beneath
her wall of ice and even fewer shall ever see it.
Hidden under this layer is loyalty to her allies
and her friends though these people are few
and far between. These few know what is
hidden in her heart and know that she will die
for anyone who gains her trust and respect. In
her true heart, she is driven more by loyalty
than anything else and she defends those she
is loyal to with a fiery vengeance. She is
chivalrous and honorable and skilled with
knowledge of battle, qualities most would
revere as being the prefect skills for an Alpha.
She feels that she is unworthy of such a title
though. She is distrustful, yes, but she is also
afraid of losing someone or something else
that she holds dear again. So to prevent that
ever happening again, she isolates herself
from everyone as she feels it keeps them
safer than they could be. So even though
she is rough and cold on the outside, her
hidden heart is warm and caring. It is only
scarred and fragile and Kathrine fears to let
anyone else see just how broken she truly is.
She fears they may do more harm than good.

Kathrine is small in stature, standing at only five foot one inch in her human form. Her height often throws people off; a girl her size is the beta of the pack? That's where her icy gaze comes into play. She conducts the authority her rank commands with the icy sapphire hue of her eyes. Though she is small, she does have the ability to move and dodge quickly and use her opponents force own body against them. This is only one of the reasons that she climbed her way up and became the Beta. As a human, she is often clothed in a red plaid shirt with a black camisole shirt, pair of washed out blue jeans, and a pair of gray boots, keeping her natural light blonde hair in a braid. When she shifts, her fur becomes a dark red-brown with a creamy tan colored fur accent under her neck, belly, and legs. Her eyes retain their icy hue but scars appear that do not show on her human form. They cross over her right eye, a claw mark that reminds her and those she faces of her past and what she has overcome. As a wolf, she stands at a more average height of seventy inches and so her wolfish strength becomes more formidable than her human abilities. That is why she prefers staying in her wolf fur over her human skin. She's always felt more comfortable on four legs rather than two.
────────────────── ⊰ And just in time, in the right place... ⊱ ──────────────────
Kathrine was never very popular among her peers as a child and so she has pretty much always been a "loner". She has always been very talented, though, in some ways most people couldn't see and in a way that Kathrine at the time wasn't able to explain. She grew up in the mountains of Asheville with her parents, Theodore and Paris Harlow, in a secluded cabin located in the woods. Though she loved spending time with her father because of all the stories and things he taught her, she didn't see him much as he was gone a lot for work. Her mother was a stay-at-mother so Kathrine never came home to an empty house luckily. Throughout her childhood, Kathrine spent many days out in the forests around her home. She couldn't explain it, but she felt more at peace there, more in tune with the world around her. She'd be out there for hours, writing about the stories she made up to tell her dad and drawing pictures of the wildlife around her or of the wolves that frequency prowled her thoughts. The only company she needed was her thoughts. She did enjoy the days her father was home however because they always went out on family outings or went camping; those are some of her best memories. On the day she turned fourteen, her father surprised her with an unexpected visit home and a necklace a charm of a wolf and two crows on it. It became her most prized possession the moment she saw it. Something was off about his sudden arrival home though and even though she couldn't pinpoint the reason, she could see her father trying to hide the uneasiness that he felt. At some point, he pulled her mother off to the side and spoke to her in private. Though Kathrine made sure she didn't hear what they were saying, she could see that they were both growing more uneasy. Of course, she asked what was wrong, but they said there was nothing wrong. Her father simply stated that he would be home for a few weeks and that they should go on a camping trip. Hearing this, Kathrine soon forgot about the previous thoughts. It was the day they were supposed to leave to go camping. Her mother had gone into town to get some more supplies while Kathrine and her father were packing the car. They were supposed to leave at sunset, but sunset came and Kathrine's mother hadn't returned. It was dark when her father got a phone call. The expression on his face was grave. After hanging up, he'd told Kathrine to follow him. He led her to her parents' room and reached into one of his favorite books and pulling out a letter with her name on it. As he handed it her, he said that he wished this didn't have to be this way and that they'd had more time to explain everything. When she asked what he was talking about, he placed his hands on her shoulders and told her this: "Kathrine, you, your mother, and I are very different from normal people...There isn't enough time now to explain what I mean by that, but when IT happens...you'll know. Everything you'll need is in this letter now I want you to take this and your camping bag and I want you to run into the forest and never look back no matter what happens." And while she didn't want to, she did as he asked, but not before giving him one last hug, something telling her she would probably never see him again. Kathrine fled into the forest, running deeper and deeper into the trees. The full moon shone brightly above her and suddenly, she fell to the ground. Pain all over her body suddenly over took her and everything was a blur. When it cleared, she suddenly found her senses were heightened, she had four paws and fur and was no longer human; she had shifted for the first time under that full moon. All the pieces fell into place then. Her father's words of "never look back no matter what happens" rang in her ears and so she pressed forward, learning everything she could that night about her wolf form. She ran all night and when daybreak came, she could herself at the edge of a small town, one she knew to be miles away from where her home was. She stopped to take a break, figuring out how to shift back to human that morning and opened the letter her father had given her. Inside was a map with a location circled on it and a note her father had written. Her family had been threatened by werewolf hunters and that was why she was reading this note instead of hearing all of this from her parents. It stated that if she got this note, it meant that she was in danger of being found and that her parents to had gone into hiding. The only place safe for her was the location on the map and that that was where she needed to go. She did just that. For three long years, Kathrine roamed the wilderness, staying away from populated areas in favor of the darkness of the trees. She encountered many things in those three years and most of them were not kind. Other werewolves she met would befriend her only to turn against her and try to kill her when she didn't do as they said; hunters would just see her passing by and try to shoot her. Even some werewolves she'd just been traveling with in the winter tried to use her a decoy - bait for the hunter coming after them - so they could get away. Over time, Kathrine's heart grew cold and before long, she became the hard-hearted girl she is today. She still searches for that safe place, hoping to see her parents there waiting for her, but deep in her frozen and stone cold heart, she knows this will never be.
