The name that starts it all>>
Name;; Cattleya, the name of an orchid subspecies. Although she was given the name of a delicate and elegant flower by her birthmother, it plays in contrast to her almost opposite demeanor. Although the meaning of her name seems unfitting to her when thought through, Cattleya dosen't mind it otherwise. She appreciates a unique and attractive name and has taken a liking to the nickname that has since come from it;; cat.

Gender;; Cat has always been sure of the gender that she was born with and defines herself as a Cisgendered female. Although she hasn't questioned her gender identity, she definetley dosent consider herself to be quite feminine and has often been regarded as a "tomboy" in her earlier years.

Sexuality;; Cat has always had thoughts that from a young age that she may not be straight, but she hadn't thought herself to be gay either. She had questioned her sexuality for years, unaware of the spectrum apart from the more publicly recognized three. After deciding to do research, she decided on being pansexual.

Personality;;
Cattleya has always been an extrovert and an optimist, thinking of the best outcomes in a bad situation and being regarded as a very social plumerian, among those most likely to be seen at a party or any other social gathering. She seems to have enough energy to run a mile without tiring, the energy and spunk inside of her seems not to dry up. She enjoys telling stories in wich she does with great fluency and she has always been thought of as humorous and witty, although all the talking that she does can add up to be too much. Cat is a very prideful plumerian with a high self esteem, and although it would never be considered as egotistical or narcissistic, she tends to bother people with her complete lack of self doubt. She works hard for what she takes credit for, but sometimes her bragging can irk others, especially those with confidence much lower than her own. She tries to help others in their problems often and gets great satisfaction from it as she is very empathetic. She enjoys her job as a river rafting instructor for the sport and the fact that she is teaching people new things, which she believes to be very important in ones life. Cat has a very determined mind, and she does not relent from her tasks once they have even started, even if it had turned out to be much more work than she had planned. She has a good work ethic and she is quite the opposite of lazy. If it hadn't been obvious with her profession choice, Cat is quite the risk taker. She is always craving the next challenge and the next rush of adrenaline, seeking sports out such as rock climbing and skydiving. Apart from her energetic and athletic aspects, she does hold a deep love for nature and everything in it, and she exhibits this in such ways as simply watching the scene of a sunset over two mountain peaks unfold or partaking in her side hobby, photography. She mainly focuses on concept art/pictures of nature, such as one taken behind a trash can at an angle that made it appear to have a tree inside of it. Other times she will take pictures of the landscapes and the small details of the large picture, such as the moss beneath the tree that harbors life for many living creatures. Cat has always found crystals and natural minerals fascinating and has an impressive collection of gems in her room where she respects and cares for each and every beautiful specimen of the earth.

Relationships;;

tobias;;
Toby and cat had been childhood friends, and despite their vast differences, they really did seem to get along. They were quite close back then, but now they don't talk to each other much- especially with the fact that Toby lives miles away from Cat and he has lately been busy with college. they have each other's contacts, and they may still have a conversation every once in a while, but as their personalities have become more defined, it becomes harder and harder to see them as two compatible plumerians. Sometimes Cattleya views this friendship as a burden because of this. She views it as something old she has to, for unexplained reasons keep holding up even though the two seem to want less and less to do with each other with each passing day.

Bahiti;;
Bahiti was a friend of cat's quite some time ago, and she still stays in contact with her now, although it is over a distance alike to Tobias. They had gotten along quite well and Cat has always described her of one of her better friends, enjoying her similar personality to hers and the fact that they seemed to understand each other wether it be with problems or successes, much better than the rest of the population. As both of them are quite adventurous, Cattleya would often invite her on a river rafting trip with her. They were both very loud and energetic, and they would never bore each other or get bothered by the constant flow of words that went back and forth between the two.

Childhood;;
As a child, Cattleya was known as the troublemaker, even though she wan't much of one in reality. She simply liked to take risks, although they normally led to consequence soon after. In certain scenario she would think that reckless action is needed and she would do so without hesitation, which often caused her tons of trouble, but it never seemed to bother her enough to make her stop what she had been doing. Of course no one liked getting yelled at and so on but with the many times the scoldings had been repeated, they began to loose their effect and thusforth lost meaning to her. They were just words to tell you not to do something that repeated over in themselves like a broken record, and they held no bounds to her actual actions, unable to render her unable to do such things. She has always been very active as a child, social towards those of her age range and eager to go outside and play. Cat was never careful and she seemed unable to focus on a singular task for more than a few minutes. You wouldn't be able to believe how energetic she was, she didn't seem to have a stop button and her boundraies were unclear as she never seemed to understand when it was an appropriate time to be talking. She would often get hurt, and it was rare to see the young plumerian without the scrapes and bruises from her last accident. She didn't really treat her body too well or carefully, not seeming to care when her claws became torn and neglecting to brush her fur out on the weekends because it is supposedly boring. Even though she was quite a handful, she was eager to please and help others, even if it meant taking on tasks a little too high for her.

Just one square of paper can be made into a crane, a turtle, a cup, or a dolphin. Just one square of paper can be folded to create a representation of one's imagination. Ever since Katrina was a small plumerian in elementary school, she found herself folding her worksheets she received back from the teacher into little creatures. She had quite a bit of time, since she completed her assignments almost always first. Often, with that time. she made cranes. This was the first thing she made using origami, and ever since the day she learned it in class, it became a hobby of hers to make more. Katrina wasn't a very good artist or singer, but people awed at how many creatures she could make off memorization in such short time. She wasn't to be known for something, stand out among the rest. Katrina was tired of just being "the teacher's pet."

I n    a n o t h e r    d i m e n s i o n
That's when Katrina discovered 3D origami. The paper she folded made 3D shapes, but this form of origami was more than that. Katrina could make larger creatures and objects by another method. Multiple sheets of paper were folded into triangles and folded into each other. Huge statues could be made with just paper and one shape. As she grew older, pumpkins, cats, and huge cranes lined her shelves and windowsills. Each one stood about a foot tall, if not taller. 3D origami became a way for her to pass the time or keep herself busy when watching a movie or on a car trip. Katrina's most impressive creations were sold as a side job. Like any average high school student, she worked a minimum wage job as well, but this way she was able to stash all of her job earnings for college and only spend her origami earnings. After years and years, origami evolved for Katrina so much more than it had been in elementary school. However, every once and a while Katrina finds herself taking a single sheet of paper and folding it into a simple crane in class.

and paper-frail.
And all the people, too."
-Paper Towns

Theme Song

Not everything to Katrina is about the ways to fold paper. Origami interests her, but doesn't consume her. After all, even being the unrealistic dreamer that she is; she knows that it's almost impossible to get an actual career in origami. And, in order the reach the colossal and unrealistic goal that is filling a mansion with origami, she knows that a well-paid and reliable career is needed. Katrina enjoys a calm and serene life, however she also enjoys attention. Most people who have fame are either outgoing, like celebrities, or are known for their impressive talents. In order to keep the quiet and peace, Katrina opened herself up to lots of quiet but unusual hobbies. Between, playing the harp and making fancy chocolates, she has her hands full in making sure she stands out. She enjoys change and likes to think she can make a difference in the world. Katrina defends those being bullied and always tries to be the most honest she can. She recycles all of the paper she folds instead of throwing them away and she usually writes about how one small person can make a difference, much like how one small, paper triangle can make the difference between cluster of scraps and a masterpiece.

"Boredom drives one to try a host of possibilities… to either get somewhere or not get anywhere."
-Anish Kapoor

S h e ' s    m o r e    t h an    t h a t

It takes courage to stand out from the crowd, but for Katrina, that's all she want to do. Being different is what acquires fame, and leaves an imprint on the world when the day comes to leave it. In history classes, students never learn about "that one farmer" who planted and harvested wheat. That farmer most likely fed hundred of people and kept the town further away from starvation, yet the name is not spoken of in any class or book. Those plumerians only did what others did, and even if they did a good deed and made a difference, they aren't remembered the same. The ones who do something new, something different are the ones teachers preach about. As a child, Katrina became obsessive to make sure she was the top of the class. At the end of middle school, this evolved into learning as may skills as possible. Most of her skills deal with some form of art, but her wide variety keeps her busy for sure. Even if she isn't skilled in athletics or anything dangerous, her jack-of-all trades nature leaves a impression in anyone she meets.

        

B u t    d o n ' t    b o t h e r

With all the obsession over being different, Katrina ends up separating herself from others. She has no interest in dating, saying she has no time and the plumerians she meets probably wouldn't be "interesting" enough for her. She is romantically attracted to all genders, but probably will only find herself dating if she finds one who matches herself with weird talents and a busy schedule. However, romantic relationships aren't the only relationships Katrina lacks. She's much rather go home and wood carve to enhance her ability instead of joining up with friends. When plumerians ask Katrina to teach a skill, Katrina declines. Her being different and knowing something others don't is more important to her than sharing knowledge. She enjoys impressing others with her ability to make 3D animations, play instruments not taught in school, or any of her other odd talents, so when anybody else happens to know the same skill, she becomes quickly jealous. How she copes with her anger is pretty childish. Instead of letting it go, she usually tries to make the situation a contest to try and prove she is better. What Katrina doesn't realize is it takes more than just talent to be remembered; plumerians to know who you are to remember you after you die. Katrina pushing others away only works against her intentions.

"The only strings that tie me down are the ones on my harp."

Original ideas can be initiated from music. Katrina finds herself playing the harp or piano whenever she can, because at those points her ideas truly show. While folding the thousands of tiny triangles to form into her huge origami creations, she always has her headphones on her head. Her playlists consist of mostly independent music and alternative music. Her heart is tied to the sound a guitar makes. Several times she has wished to learn how to play the six-stringed instrument, but she often falls back on the less mainstream strings of her harp. Most of all, Katrina is attracted to the lyrics of songs. She likes to be able to relate and think about how the artist felt when writing the emotion filled words.

"I'm bilingual,
and that's not
including sarcasm."

Katrina's first language is German, as her parents were born and raised in Switzerland and hardly speak English after just immigrating to the United States. As Katrina went through school, she learned English and began to use German less and less. After years and years, Katrina only used common phrases and only learned the basics of German. It wasn't like school, where reading and vocabulary was stressed. Katrina could get by with few words when her parents asked simple questions like "Wie war heute dein Tag?" (How was your day today.) Because of this, it made it very hard for Katrina and her parents to truly connect. They couldn't express feelings on such simple words. Katrina separated herself from her parents as much as possible, not because they were bad parents, but because it was frustrating to Katrina to not be able to express what she was thinking in a way her parents would understand.
