Name: Catalina "Cat" Inés
Age: 26
Gender: Female
Resident or Visitor: Resident
Occupation: Blogger/Pokétuber/Part-time Florist/Part-time Magazine writer
Appearance: Cat is 5'2 with blonde hair that reaches her shoulders and light green eyes. She tends to wear black or other dark colored shirts with jeans and running shoes along with her green beret. She prefers long sleeves and sometimes will wear her own merch to promote it to her fans. She's got a fairly average build, nothing too strong, and most of what little height she has is in her legs. Her hair is naturally straight but she'll curl it for fancy occasions. She's not a huge jewelry person since for her occupation it can get caught on things, but again for fancy occasions she'll usually wear a necklace and some earrings.
Personality: Cat is a go-getter, but also a pretty smug individual. She's extroverted and likes having things done her way. People peg her as talkative and bit lacking in understanding some social boundaries, since she likes to constantly take videos and pictures of herself and other people. She's not afraid to speak her mind and voice her opinion, since she believes that the truth should be spoken no matter what. That said, she isn't always accepting when other people give her a taste of her own medicine. Still, Cat is quite sociable and has a fair amount of acquaintances in and out of the city.
Cat also isn't big on pokeballs. Raised in the Ranger community, she believes that there are much less forceful methods to earn a Pokémon's trust and affections. She views Pokémon as equals and they should be let to do as they please. This is also why she thinks battling should be legalized to some degree, in order to not only better regulate the underground fights but also to leave the option open for Pokémon that want to participate.
History: While she wasn’t born in Rome City, Cat and her family moved there when she was nine years old, when the city first opened. Prior to that, Cat had been born and raised in the Fiorre Region, and had been looking forward to Ranger School when she turned ten. She had participated in lots of children’s ranger camps and knew lots of the basic mantras and beliefs of the ranger community. As a result, while she was sad to leave the region and her dream of being a ranger behind, Cat quickly saw that Ryme City wasn’t all that different from the place she had just come from.
When she was eleven, Cat met her partner, a hoppip that lived in the city’s park. It was a shy little Pokémon that didn’t trust Cat at first, but with the help of her parents and some food, Cat was able to gain the trust of the hoppip. At first, their meetings were exclusive to the park, where Cat with the hoppip for as long as her parents would permit. However, a few months after she turned twelve, a storm swept the city that forced many of the hoppip out of the city due to their strong winds. Worried about her friend, young Cat went out into the storm to search and rescue her friend. How Cat made it to the park, she’s still not sure, but her parents caught up to her shortly after and began to take her home, telling her the hoppip would be fine. When they reached their house and began to dry off, they heard a scratching at the door only to find the little hoppip had managed to follow them despite the harsh winds. They quickly brought it inside, and there it remained until Cat decided to move out on her own.
Now Cat lives in a small apartment in the city which she has set up as a video studio for her Pokétuber career. Using her partner, CB, like a mini-drone, Cat does everything from vlogs to covering different events and festivals in Ryme City. She also sells perch, runs a blog, and has a patron. It’s not enough to fully pay her rent, since she only boasts 15,000 subscribers, so Cat also works at a local florist shop near her apartment and occasionally writes pieces for a local magazine.

Other: CB helps Cat with her Youtuber career by acting as a mini drone for her. Cat also vlogs and livestreams quite frequently at various events, so she typically has her camera or her phone on her at all times so she can snap a photo or video of something that catches her interest.
