Spoiler:

Character Name (Full): Catherine Dufort

Age (13-30): 16

Gender: Female

Pronouns: She/Her

Physical Appearance: Catherine is a short girl, standing at around 5'2" though appears much taller as she is always wearing heels, and has excellent posture, standing tall. She is relatively fair in complexion, though gives herself a slight rosey colouration on her cheeks, eyes and lips with some light makeup. Catherine has pale, honey-blonde hair long, sideswept bangs and falling in loose curls below her shoulders. Catherine has pale blue eyes accented by thin eyebrows and long eyelashes, appearing as a cute, yet sophisticated Kalosian girl. Katherine has a relatively petite frame, though has slight curves at her bust and hips. Having practiced in and participated in a number of showcases, requiring some degree of dance ability and athleticism, Catherines thin frame has the slight tone one may expect of a dancer.

Clothing: Befitting her personality and her background in Kalos, Catherine is often found in chic, stylish, stylish, though slightly modest Kalosian couture that highlights a sense of regality and femininity. While changing her outfits substantially, Catherine can often be found in a white long-sleeved button down shirt in a flowy fabric, with slightly billowed sleeves, tight cuffs, and a collar. Under this collar, Catherine adorns herself with a black bow, and a small pearl brooch. Catherine's flowy shirt is tucked into a high-waisted pleated skirt in a neutral-toned plaid, and sits atop kneehigh white socks, which lead into a pair of stylish black strap heels. Katherine further adorns her ears with a pair of pearl drop earrings to match her brooch. In colder weather, Catherine may change this out for heeled boots, a stylish, fitted trench, fluffy earmuffs, and tights, while in warmer weather, she may change this ensemble to a flowy drop shoulder summer dress, heeled sandals, oversized glasses, and a stylish ribboned sun-hat. Catherine can always be found sporting a small handbag, changing it up to match her outfit and her mood.


Performance Attire:

In performances, Catherine prefers to take her femininity to the max. While Catherine changes up her performance outfit to suit the performance, sometimes opting for a furisode, while other times opting for something sleeker. Catherine's usual performance style is regal and elegant. She wears a short, above the knee-length flared princess gown, sitting atop a white lace petticoat. The top of the dress is in a rich magenta shade, with gold accents. The dress has poofed shoulders in a lace material matching the petticoat, before slimming out into a long-sleeved cuff style in the magenta fabric. Above the poofy white sleeves is the same magenta and gold fabric extending to Catherine's mid-neck, while under it sits a large white lace cravat underneath a a large gold brooch with a red gem. In her hair Catherine wears a matching gold tiara-like ornament with a red gem, as well as gold and red gem earrings. Under the dress Catherine wears thigh-high white lack socks, and on her feet, a pair of heeled magenta boots, reaching up to her mid-calfs in a matching colour to her dress. Adorning each boot is a white lace bow, reminiscent of the lace petticoat, puffy shoulders, and cravat on her dress.

Personality: When she is not performing, Catherine holds herself with an air of grace, always standing tall, while being calm, collected and refined. However, Catherine can have an air of superiority about her, and sees herself as above others. Her choice in conducting herself in this manner reflect the pride she feels at being (very distantly) related to the former Kalosian aristocracy. When she is performing Catherine gets more haughty, often laughing regally and making comments praising her Pokemon and her performance, while make small snips at her opponent. If Catherine is pushed into a corner or feels she may be losing, she panics, and drops her grace as she does what she can to pull herself and her Pokemon out of the corner they have been backed into. Catherine chooses Pokemon that she feels reflect her, thus she has a mix of Pokemon that are considered more powerful, and some that are less so, though all are deemed to be 'cute' or 'beautiful' to reflect her own sense of self.

Points of Note: Nothing at the moment

Backstory: Catherine is distantly related to the former Kalosian aristocracy. While this does not mean much anymore, Catherine's family put a lot of stock in this, and have raised her to always uphold the grace befitting a member of the Dufort family, something that put an enormous amount of pressure on Catherine. Catherine's dream is to make a name for herself as a world class Performer and Coordinator, endeavouring to one day be both a Top Coordinator, and the Kalos Queen. However, Catherine's family while entertaining this idea expect her to fail, and upon failing continue to remind her that she must come back home to her family chateau and learn how to run their Kalosian vineyards and wine enterprise. Faced with this pressure, Catherine is desperate not to crack, and keeps up her air of grace to fool not only others, but also herself. Catherine has experienced minor success in the Kalos region as a Performer, having entered 5 Pokemon Showcases, and won two, however, she realised her best opportunity to achieve her goal would be to make a more global name for herself by hopefully winning the Valloux Island Showscapes tournament.
