[style=width: 400px; font: 12px open sans condensed;serif; color: #e4be66;text-align:justify; background-color: #a65930]APPEARANCE | Kathryn stands at a fairly short height as she is around 5'5 but her pride makes her seem taller than she actually is. Her skin is a pale ivory colour that creates a nice contrast to her auburn hair. She knows she should probably cut her hair short as it gets in the way of her fighting and allows herself to be slightly more vulnerable to attack but she has a strong liking to her long hair. Her hair is reletively straight and has a slight curl in it when it is wet. It reaches to about halfway down her back and it usually worn down. She has some sort of flippy bang type thing that she can't stand as it always gets in her face but she never actually gets around to cutting it.
She has large blue eyes that make her appear younger than she actually is. Although her eyes tend to give away most of her emotions the shade of the blue tend to fluctuate depending on the lighting. Although normally a pale blue it occasional is an electric blue or a very light blue that is closer to grey. Katie has been training from a very young age, because of her forced intensive training she has very little body fat. Although she prides herself in her lean muscles she is unhappy with her breast size as it tend to get in her way in battle. She unhappily tries to hide them and willingly slogs any man who dares look at them.
Her outfit attire consist of light colours with dark earthy accents. Her favourite outfit consists of a light white shirt that is low cut and has a very pirate look to it. She matches this with leather leggings for protection as well as a fitted half corset with matching leather gloves all made from sturdy dark brown leather. Her ankle boots are a similar shade of brown and are clearly over worn as she loves them because they allow her to sprint rather fast without getting blisters. She knows her attire may not be very conventional for around civilians but she knows she must always be prepared to defend her charge. Her quiver and bow are always on her as she will never let her guard drop. Katie's birthmark is about the size of her palm and is a very dark shade of brown, almost black. The lion head is placed on the left side of her chest as it rests on her heart. Some of her birthmark is usually visible as she prides herself with her duty to protect her charge no matter what.
PERSONALITY | COURAGOUS . Katie's courage could be compared to a lion; she doesn't really think before acting sometimes which causes her to get into situations which easily could have been avoided. She doesn't feel fear easily and remains calm for the most part under alarming situations-she has been known to breakdown though which is scary to say the least. She has a strong sense of justice and she can't stand for anything else as her soft spot for the underdog every time. She tends to jump into the fray and think only once she has processed what she is doing. Her courage can also be compared to borderline stupidity since she doesn't really even consider her options at all as she takes the valiant, straightforward way. She has taken a couple too many punches since she tends to stand up to people who are much larger and aggressive then she is. Her small frame is great at moving fast. And despite her size she can throw a decent punch; a punch that has been used a little bit too much in the name in justice.
JUDGEMENTAL - Although Katie hates to admit it, she can't help but give a person a once over and feel like she already knows them. She doesn't quite base her judgments on appearance alone; she isn't that shallow. Katie tends to notice small details as well as read body language; it gets to the point where it is almost creepy. Once she has categorized a person, she rarely changes her mind about how she feels about them, even when she should reconsider her judgment. She isn't even that great at judging people accurately since she is a little biased as she bases her opinions on first impressions. People usually think there is something wrong with her because she has already decided how she feels about a person before she has actually had a complete conversation. It leaves people she assumes she will dislike in a very awkward situation if they ever talk to Katie.
BLUNT - She has tried the whole 'beating around the bush' thing in the past, but she has given up on trying to be subtle. She goes in for the kill; she isn't afraid to say a lot of things most people only think in their heads for fear of getting in trouble or being rude. She has gotten into trouble for being so blunt. But at the same time, she knows what she says is true which is why she has no problems saying the things she does. Katie tries to sugar coat things every once and a while, but she is still a little too blunt for most people’s tastes. Although most people avoid her, some people can appreciate the fact that she is straightforward. She sees through bullshit rather quickly and she isn't afraid to point it out. She doesn't really deal well with listening to other people beat around the bush; she might be a little bit too blunt.
WITTY - It seems her mouth will be the downfall of her as it tends to get her into trouble a lot. Katie can't help but have a sarcastic tone as she doesn't deal well with people she has decided she won't like. She doesn't mean to give people her sass, but at the same time, it is a quality that people like about her since she can be quite funny with her wit. It is always very clear when she doesn't like something or someone since her wit is usually turned up around them. Despite her sarcastic tongue, she always does what she is told even if her displeasure is apparent. Mind you, she does tend to break the rules if she thinks she can get away without getting caught. It doesn't happen often, but she does get away with things mostly due to her sarcasm.
STUBBORN - Once Katie has made up her mind it is hard to change it. It can be anything from stupidly small things like who pushed who, or rather serious debates over morals, even her own judgments on people are hard to change. She doesn't adapt well to change within herself since she is sure somehow she will screw things up, this can be related to her childhood but she doesn't really like to think about it. She is quick to adapt in changing situations since she analyzes things quickly which gives her an edge when it matters but she has trouble judging herself and her changes. She has a hard time determining what is natural and what isn't and due to that she tends to deny that she is changing when she is in doubt. Her own confidence helps hide this insecurity from others but her anger does tend to flair when she is being challenged.
SECRETIVE - Katie is always on alert as she do not like to be weak. To show weakness to is show everyone your vulnerability. She prides herself in always being prepared since no one ever catches her off guard and weak. She has a lot to deal with but she keeps to herself when she feels it is appropriate since she knows some things are better left unsaid. She has no problems calling out other people which tends to lead to some heated arguments but she is quite secretive about her own affairs. She does it for herself since she can't stand other people knowing of her down falls and problems. She is independent and therefore must deal with these situations herself. She has been known to sneak off while no one if looking and cry in the bathroom to help get stuff off of her chest.
CUNNING - Katie knows she must succeed, no matter how she gets there. She is by no means guilt free but she knows that she must do whatever she has to for her own future since she has nothing really lined up for her. Most people around her know what they are doing with their lives and Katie is left pursing things she knows nothing about. She has no problem hindering another student if it means she is closer to her goal. As shallow as it sounds she does feel bad about doing these things, mind you it doesn't stop her from doing them again. She is smart and isn't afraid to do what must be done, she will not allow her own morality to stand it the way.
AMBITIOUS - Katie never settles for just doing okay. She must push herself until she has not only showed up people around her but also impress herself. Her very high standards of herself and those around her unrealistic to say the least, especially since she has so many flaws. She knows she has no real future, no matter how hard she fights it or how well she does she always ends up facing the same truth. She is too prideful to seek help or even seek out consultation of her future since she is so headstrong she has talked herself into the only future she knows. She can't be a waitress the rest of her life, she wishes to do something with her life instead of wasting away. Her ambitions are going to go to waste and instead of standing up for herself she is taking it out like a bitch on everyone else.
TEMPERAMENTAL - Katie is known for having a fluctuating mood, usually resulting in anger for most of the time. Little things tend to set her off, and although her sarcasm can only go so far her ever changing mood does become apparent since she can go from having a conversation with someone to having screaming match. Katie has a habit of insulting people when she is angry, and her volume slowly increases as her anger does. Although she experiences a wide variety of moods she actually likes being angry sometimes since it gives her a way to channel her energy. Her sarcastic remarks become harsher and her wit becomes full blown sass. Although Katie may be a little unemotionally unstable she manages to be aware of these changes in her mood, and if she feels like it, she can kind of maintain herself to one general mood. Mind you when she is tired or drunk her mood swings can be comparable to those of a pregnant women.

[style=width: 400px; font: 12px open sans condensed;serif; color: #e4be66;text-align:justify; background-color: #a65930]WEAPON | During her Guardian training when she was young Katie dabbled in the creation of weapons. It was because of this she grew a liking towards bows as the weapon was useless until the right person wields it. Her bow, named 'Aeolus' is her go to weapon of choice. The bow is made from a dark wood, although a little primitive she prides herself in her accuracy. The bow has ornate carvings all along the handle and the string is a stark white colour from one of the royal's horses. Katie tends to use arrows from the castle but prefers hand made arrows she usually carries with her in a quiver. Katie is known to use her bow as a bludgeoning weapon if things get out of hand. Although Katie prides herself in her bowman ship she has been trained in all aspects of weapons because a Guardian can never be too prepared. She also has a simple dagger usually stored in her boots just in case.
WEAPON LEVEL | 3
SPECIAL ABILITY | Katie has the uncanny ability to use the ability of the people around her. She must first touch them, skin contact is necessary for the transfer. It starts with a tingle, although it quickly becomes a shiver down her spine. The ability is the exact same, although she has much less control over her new found ability because she had no experience wielding such power. The strengths and weaknesses of the powers she gains are the exact same, even the triggers of how to use the ability are the same. Although she has very little knowledge of the powers she gains she learns to quickly adapt while using the ability. The large downfall of this ability is it leaves Katie rather unprepared of the powers she gets. She is either using an ability with no idea of it's side effects which has harmed her in the past or she is trying to use an ability but does not know how to trigger it.She has been known to accidentally start a fire because she didn't know the ability she had gained.
Her body is only capable of containing one ability at a time, when she 'gets' a new ability, all effects of the last one dissipate. The after effects of those powers still remains, for example she gained the ability of water manipulation. If she were to flood an entire town the side effects of the floor would remain. People would still be hurt or dead, houses would be destroyed but when she switched to a new ability the water would disappear. She avoids using her powers the best she can since it can be dangerous for her and those around her. She usually is seen wearing gloves over her hands so she doesn't take an unwanted ability. This being said she is known to take risks when she feels it is appropriate, she is not afraid of her ability but is afraid for those around her. She will not hesitate to use her ability to protect Aiden, even if it means a lot of innocent people could get caught in the cross fire.
ARMOR | Level 3 leather. Although her choice of armor is usually made so she can move since her biggest advantage is her speed and grace. The down fall to this is it leaves a lot of areas unprotected, the main areas such as the stomach, legs and most of her torso.

[style=width: 400px; font: 12px open sans condensed;serif; color: #e4be66;text-align:justify; background-color: #a65930]INVENTORY | PENDANT . She wears a silver pendant around her neck at all times as Aiden had bought it for her for her 18th birthday. She treasures it more than she should and she enjoys the small lock of lion hair within the small white crystal that dangles from the chain. She finds it funny as the two of them are held together because of their lion birthmarks.
Dagger . The small dagger she contains in her boot is always on her as she can never be too prepared. [/style]
[style=width:400px;background-color: #d6c177; font: 16px open sans condensed;serif; color: #000000; text-align: center; text-transform: uppercase; line-height: 92%; padding-top: 3px; padding-bottom: 3px;]THE HISTORY[/style]
[style=width: 400px; font: 12px open sans condensed;serif; color: #e4be66;text-align:justify; background-color: #a65930] It was a cold night, the cold snow causing most people to stay within their comfortable homes. It was before the large snow storm that Ava was walking home with the handful of food that she needed to prepare her infamous squash soup. That cold night as she was returning from the market she ran into the first taste of reality she would ever meet. His dashing good looks could not cover up the dark look in his eye as he stood in the middle of the road and watched Ava. Ava didn't stand a chance, at first she carried onward avoiding his gaze but it was only when he pounced did he know that she was in trouble. Ava's parents had been guardians so her senses were heightened but she still had no real chance against the full grown man. Her memories had forcefully put into the back of her mind as she never wanted to relive the experience ever again. She never new pain like the night she was raped.
Her body was left to die in the cold snow, he hadn't expected her to make it home in time to avoid the snow storm. The event that had changed Ava's life was simply a blur, the consequences for her weakness took her main interest. Ava had discovered her pregnancy a couple months later as she had started to notice her growing stomach and could not blame a lack of exercise. Her child would be born to an unprepared young mother who would not be able to provide for her as the girl's future was already decided. Ava took no chances as she prepared for the baby, she would raise it to be strong and be prepared for anything life threw at her.
Kathryn Alexandra Everling was born on as the leaves were changing colours, almost exactly nine months after Ava had been raped. The birthmark on her left breast marked the child, a royal had been born as well with the same mark. The child was gone before Ava could even take in that her daughter was a guardian. Kathryn was a rather calm baby, not really a huge hassle as she loved to sleep and would try to eat anything and everything. Kathryn was never told about her father but it was rumoured he was a rebel. As Kathryn grew older she became a very curious toddler, living with the royals had introduced Kathryn into a world she would never fully know. She would wonder off whenever she could to try and explore the world that was so new to such a small child. She always knew her life was secondary, it was literally drilled into her head by the guardians who trained her. Her life didn't matter as long as her charge was healthy and safe. At such a young age she was forced to train intensely. She was told it was for the future, it was always about the future. It wasn't even her future she was sworn to look after.
She hated the idea of her future, she would be some royal snot heads bitch her whole life. Although her concept of bitch changed throughout the years. As a young child she could run faster than anyone else could, her physically demanding training didn't really allow her to socialize with those around her. Other guardians were in training as well but she was no suppose to interfere with anyone else' s training nor was she suppose to get distracted. Her training was everything, she had no other past time as she was taught to eat, breath, and protect. Katie grew into herself as a person, her magic abilities were quite powerful as they were highly dangerous. She was pretty young when she accidentally started a fire since she had taken the ability of one of her guardian mentors. She loved to play with her power but quickly found it overwhelming. She could use anyone ability but found that the side effects from other peoples powers always struck her harder at first since she was untrained in everyone else's ability. She was taught how to use her ability to her advantage, she learned how to trigger abilities of people she didn't know in dire emergencies. She had to adapt or die.
Everyday she has no choice but to put her best foot forward. One miscalculated step and she could get her charge killed before she could even control herself. She resorted to wearing gloves to make sure she didn't pick up unwanted abilities. Aiden seemed okay at first. He wasn't the snot nosed child she thought he would be. She watched him as he grew up alongside her. His life would never be hers, her freedom was only brought to her when she died probably in battle saving Aiden's sorry ass. She knew she was bitter about her life being forced to be given up for a greater good. The royals were not the kind of people she would want to rule a nation but her opinions were constantly forced to be held tightlipped as it was not her place to do anything except to serve her charge. She quickly grew a liking to Aiden, she wanted to hate him as he was her life but he had a charm she could not deny. She liked him for many reasons but she loved to fight along side him. She would never admit it but she one day hoped he would stop chasing other girls and realize that she was there the whole time.
Over the years her crush had grown into a infatuation, she no longer would lay down her life because it was her guardian duty but because his life was too precious to ever be taken away. She didn't understand how he hadn't noticed her there, just waiting for him to pause and take in that she was there for him. Instead her subtle brushes soon became full blown awkward pick up lines. Although she could make anything sexual he seemed oblivious to her advances. Her anger was obvious, most people quickly picked up on her readiness to start a relationship with her charge but he remained a blockhead. She doesn't want t proclaim her love but she dreams of one day he would finally acknowledge her presence and see that she yearned for him since the day he had given her a pendant for her birthday. Their relationship was friendly, although Katie has resorted to her sarcasm to hide her anger towards him she also uses her sarcasm to flirt with him. She is pretty sure she is friend zoned for the rest of her long life but her sharp words could only get her so far.
