Where Myths Tread [SUDS]

[marth141]

Name: Catherine James.

Age: 15 years old.

Gender: Female.

Patron God(dess): Sobek, The God of Crocodiles

Appearance: Catherine, is a very average looking girl, at first glance. She has a slim waist, her adult figure beginning to take shape. She doesn't stand much taller than 5'5". Her hair reached down her back to just at the curve of her back. It was kept a mess unless done in a pony tail. Her shoulders are broad for a girl and she has been known to be able to move quite heavy objects.

Personality: Catherine, is a quite girl. She has a ring of people who she tends to sit with at school, however, the conversational inputs have always been minimal. She typically spends her time watching the other kids. The kids she already sits with are not considered the strongest of her peers. It's for this reason she feels as though she needs to protect them. Almost all of them have been picked on for some reason or another and have had Catherine come to their aid.

Her parents have always appreciated her protective nature, however, they constantly request that she tries harder to keep out of fights. Her regular suspensions have started to become a problem.
Despite this, Catherine is a smart child. Being an observer personality, she spent most of her time learning how other people acted. She could be quite cunning to other children and her own parents. The only times she would employ deception is in attempts to keep other children safe.

History:
"We can't keep her." said a man's voice.

Rain beat down on the roof of a small home. The windows shook as though the storm outside itself were going to destroy this small home. A childs cries were echoing through the small home.

"She has no where else to go." Cried a woman's voice.
"Cloud's Cross." said the man again.
"We'll never see her again! We have no idea what those monsters do in there!"
"It's the only hope for, it's the only place that will take her! Think about it, the world is falling apart all around us? Do you really think we'd be able to take care of her here?!"

There was a silence through the home. Even the storm outside did not seem to be making noise anymore, despite the windows being spattered with rain.

"Will we ever see her again?" The woman said quietly.
There was more silence. The wind battering the home began to pick up wildly. The entire home shook.
"It's our last choice, for her." Said the man grimly.

— Fifteen Years Later —

Catherine, sat alone in he room. She would sit in this small room for hours on end, staring up at the sky for hours. She kept wondering to herself, where is the sun? The sun seemed to be gone all day, everyday. A thick blanket of grey occluded the sky during every waking "daylight" hour. The night was always exceptionally dark, save for the street lights that illuminated the walkways.

Catherine, lived in Cloud's Cross. Cloud's Cross, as far as she was concerned, was all of the world there is. Long ago there was another world. This world however, fell to a calamity. The only parents she had ever known were two scientists. Both of which carried the James name. However, Catherine had always felt that they probably weren't real family. Since she was the age of seven, they stopped being such a big part of her life.

They were always working. They've told her that their work is very important to the future of where they live. This work may even lead to the recreation of the rest of the world. Catherine, believed them. Over time, seeing them less and less, Catherine had began to think that perhaps they don't care at all.
She now spends most of her time in her room. Looking up at the sky. Catherine, felt that there was something strange about her and about many of the other children who resided in Clouds Cross. Almost exclusively, the children in Cloud's Cross were the children of scientists. Lately, all of them, Catherine included, had began exhibiting some strange features. Catherine, had been noticing she has been more angry than usual.

She has been in a number of fights this year alone. The reason she is spending quite a long time in her room today, was because she was suspended from her school. This has became a regular occurrence. Her parent's have explained to her over and over again that there is no need for her to be fighting with any of the other kids in the school, however she has felt that whenever she sees other kids being unfair to each that it should be her duty to protect them. Not all of the time have these fights resulted in violence. It just so happened that her more recent fights have.

This wasn't just the only change that has been happening in her life however. Lately Catherine has felt she is able to communicate with the dead. A far-fetched idea, even her parent's believe isn't possible. It is, for whatever reason though, as Catherine finds her self staring out her window and toward the sky, that she feels there is something beyond the sky attempting to talk to her.

Other: None at this time.

I'm still going to be working on some more details for her, but this is what I've decided I like so far.
