Character Information:
Character Name: Catty Turner
Age: 17
Canon: Daughters of the Moon
Appearance: Catty is your typical teenage girl who is really a goddess. By which I mean, she is gorgeous. She has been described in canon as being dangerously beautiful, with long brown hair, long legs, a soft tan, and big brown eyes. She nearly always has some sort of smile on her face, having been noted to have her lips still curl up like a cat's even when she is frowning. Because of her artistic nature, she sometimes always has paint flecked somewhere on her skin or her clothes, oftentimes turning to wear ratty old things rather than cute stuff. When she does dress up, she goes all out. She enjoys mini skirts and short dresses, and definitely likes tall heels. There is also a fair amount of body glitter involved. Actually, there is so much body glitter, that Catty could outfit a small village for a rave. At least in make up. She has been known to draw on not only her body, but her friends, with colorful images, outlining them in glitter until they looked like goddesses.
Or sparkly vampires.
There is also a brand on the inside of her left that was burned into her skin. It is a symbol of her immortal status and membership to the Incincti.
Personality:
There are many sides to Catty, as a complex person. Her most defining trait would be her carefree spirit, though later on it is more forced due to circumstances. She has never cared about school or homework, unless she was forced into doing it, oftentimes by her best friend Vanessa. She likes to have fun, simple as that, especially going dancing. She often hit the party scene in L.A., going to clubs and dancing the night away. She is considered to be a lot of fun, though hardly ever responsible and playing tricks on people, especially Vanessa. She's often admitted to abusing her power of time traveling in order to scare Vanessa, or just using it because she can.
Her loyalty is extremely strong. She is faithful to her friends, especially since they are the only people who have ever been her friend. She forms close and strong relationships immediately, to the point of clinging and possibly a small dose of obsession. Her relationship with Chris is a good example of this. While she knew absolutely nothing about him, she felt deeply for him, wanting to be with him despite the fact that he couldn't be with her, and actually pines for him the entire series, even when she forms a relationship with another guy. Vanessa is also another person Catty is deeply attached to. Vanessa is her sister, among other things. She is oddly possessive of her, and even jealous, often referring to Vanessa as “hers” (Vanessa is the same way). She has been known to admit to herself that the thing that she wants the most is to be loved by someone, which could explain her bonding with people.
Catty can also be extremely devious. In order to pass herself off as loyal to the Atrox, she had to kill a former boyfriend and pretend she enjoyed it. She keeps this act up for months, all for her end goal, despite the pain it not only causes herself, but to her friends as well. Her pranks could be devious as well, as mentioned earlier.
But more than anything, Catty is pure. Only the pure of heart could destroy the Atrox, and despite the things Catty did, she was pure. She did everything for the people she loved the most: Vanessa, her mom, Serena, and Jimena. Sacrifice is a big part of her, and she gave her life to make sure that those that were the most important could live happily, and even at seventeen she realized this was what she had to do, and while she was not fearless, she was certain and determined to make things better. She wants to make sure that people are happy around her, and will smile through her pain to make people more comfortable. She would do anything to help out.
This doesn't make her a pushover, though. While most of her time as a goddess preached to her nonviolence, the time with her father taught that pain was the only way, and so Catty has molded into a more morally ambiguous sort of person. Willing to help out, but at any cost. If she feels that you are going to be more hindrance than help, she will find a way to make sure you're not in the way anymore, no matter the means of accomplishing it.
Catty also has a great love of art. She is an artist herself, having been painting and drawing for as long as she can remember. Colors excite her, and she can always find the beauty in something, even if it's horrible. She found the Secret Scroll to be horrible and beautiful to behold, because of the artistry put into it.
Background:
Catty was born as Atertra Adamantis, her mother Zoe finding the name Atertra, which meant “unlucky”, to be an appropriate name for her cursed daughter. Zoe was a fallen goddess, once a Daughter of the Moon before she chose to join up with the Atrox instead. Her father, Adamantis, was as close to a demon as one could get, having long ago secured his immortality and place in the Inner Circle of his evil shadow lord. A child born to a demon and fallen goddess would become the Heir of the Secret Scroll, a document meant to either be the destruction of the Atrox once and for all... Or the destruction of the only hope left in the world: the Daughters of the Moon.
Whatever Catty's early life was like is lost to her. At the age of six, something changed in Zoe Reese, and she left Adamantis, taking her young child with her. While trying to escape, the car her mother had stolen crashed in the desert, and that is the first thing that Catty remembers. A bright light and a crash. Wandering the desert alone, Zoe having left her daughter in the hopes that she could make a life by herself. A car finally pulled over, containing one Kendra Turner, who immediately took a liking to the young girl, especially after the child used her special goddess-blessed ability. Kendra realized that this child was special, an alien who had lost her way. She named the girl Catty.
In reality, the memory loss was attributed to a man her mother knew, and whom Catty would end up becoming familiar with. He had taken her memories, upon Zoe's request, to keep her safe for a few years.
Catty grew up happy. She always knew that she was different, and with her mom Kendra telling her that she was an alien princess, and the fact that she could time travel, Catty knew this was true. Unfortunately, not many children came to like the spunky girl with the funny name. Not until she met Vanessa Cleveland at the age of seven did she finally feel complete. Vanessa was the exact opposite of Catty, but there was one thing that drew the one to the other. They both wore the same necklaces: a small silvery amulet with a moon etched into it. Vanessa was the first person Catty actually took a trip with, despite the terror her best friend experienced. These would be common occurrences in the future, a basis of their friendship. On Vanessa's eighth birthday, she decided that it was time to show Catty her own ability. She took Catty's hand while they waited outside for birthday cake and made her hand invisible. Catty freaked out horribly, which caused Vanessa to freak out and not be able to bring back her hand. The incident actually affected Vanessa more than Catty, as Catty saw it as an opportunity to hone her own power even more.
Catty spent these next few years being a total troll and making no friends. She also spent it believing that she was an alien, thanks to Kendra's overactive imagination.
At 15, she learned things a little differently. Something weird was beginning to go on. Another girl arrived at school, wearing the same charm as her and Vanessa. Catty didn't think too much of it at the time. What was bothering Vanessa was that she felt like she was being stalked, and by default, seeing that Vanessa was her only friend, it bothered Catty. She suggested they take a trip back in time to the night that Vanessa was followed, but Vanessa refused. She forced Catty to promise that she wouldn't, seeing as how it hadn't been her playing tricks on her, and Catty reluctantly agreed. That didn't stop Catty from spending a day jumping back and forth in time to make her powerful, however. And without telling Vanessa, she hopped back to another night that soon followed after the stalking incident.
That jump in time proved to be a failing for Catty. She was unaware of the truth that was going on, that there were dark forces out there ready to harm her. Catty was kidnapped by these forces, called Followers, while she was spying on Vanessa and gathering clues. Her moon amulet was left behind, the only clue to Vanessa that something was wrong. Catty was gone for several weeks, having believed to be a runaway. In the end, however, Vanessa came to save Catty, at peril to her own life. The both of them were then saved by two other girls, and they were able to escape the situation with their lives and their hope.
This was when Catty learned that she was not an alien, but instead a goddess, a Daughter of the Moon. She was a by product of the goddess Selene and her human lover Endymion. She had been sent to earth to bring hope to the world before the Atrox consumed it all. Catty was extremely excited by this revelation, to say the least.
The next few months were insane. Serena turning evil, Jimena's death and immediate resurrection, the opening of Tartarus in the middle of Los Angeles. And of course, Catty's first boyfriend.
Not long after finding out that she was a goddess, Catty was summoned downtown to identify the body of her biological mother, Zoe Reese. Catty didn't know anything about this woman, and neither did Kendra, and upon looking at her last few belongings, Catty saw that she had written down her name and address on the back of an Algebra test that she had aced. A test that was dated until the next week. Kendra, seeing the date, hid the paper so that nobody would notice. Also inside of the envelope had been an amulet similar to her own, but scorched. They didn't have time to linger. A couple of suits walked through the doors, and immediately Catty felt a charge of energy in the air. Something was wrong. Kendra said that they were from the government. She recognized them from years back, when she had found Catty roaming the desert in Yuma. They escaped, but Catty knew she had to go back. She urged Vanessa to travel with her, so they could turn invisible and get the rest of her mother's things. Vanessa finally agreed, but they were almost caught. When separated from Vanessa, Catty was confronted by a mysterious man, who passed along a manuscript to her, telling her that she was the only one who could touch it. Who could use it.
It turned out that the manuscript was the Secret Scroll, and in its hidden steps was the way to destroy the Atrox for good. Unfortunately, it was written in an old Latin dialect, and it was hard for Catty to read other than that there was a curse that killed whoever touched it. Despite the warning, Kendra took it upon herself to begin translating it, which led to complications. Kendra was getting sick, dying. And she believed that Catty was a demon, some evil being sent to destroy the world. After finally calming her down, Catty told her mom the truth about being a goddess, and Kendra eagerly set forth to finish translating, despite her health. At the same time, a powerful Follower named Stanton, whom all the Daughters were well acquainted with, demanded that the scroll be handed over to him. It was his, as his father had acquired it back in the 1200s. Catty refused, and while they were being chased, Stanton took her to the past, to the day when Kendra found her at the age of six, to meet Zoe. This is where Zoe ended up receiving the test.
Years later, in the present, Catty went to visit her mother, and learned the truth about her mother falling from the goddess and about her real father. She was with Zoe until the end, when Selene took Zoe back.
Meanwhile, Catty's relationship with her boyfriend, Chris, was already beginning to feel rocky. He was cute, smart, sweet, artistic like herself, but he was beginning to withdraw. She felt that he was cheating on her, despite how many times he protested it. It was making her feel strange, and she was unsure of what to do. Eventually, Catty discovered that it had been Chris who had given her the Secret Scroll, as he was the Keeper. He was never supposed to get close to her, but he couldn't help himself, finding her too beautiful to stay away from. After a fight with a Regulator, a twisted version of a Follower so succumbed to evil that there own bodies grew hideous in the process, Catty lost the Scroll in her time tunnel, knowing that Vanessa's life was much more important to her than any piece of paper. Since it had been Chris's job for thousands of years to watch over the manuscript, he had to leave Catty in order to find it. She understood, even though it broke her heart. He left with the parting words that one day they would be together forever.
She never did get over him completely.
After losing the scroll, things seemed to grow worse. In an attempt to free Stanton from his binds of immortality for Serena's sake, the Daughters of the Moon believed they had killed him instead, as his body went through their purification process. Fortunately enough, he had not really died, since he was immortal. By this point, the number of people Catty had seen die was up to four. This was not the end, as Stanton had brought a deadlier threat down on the Daughters of the Moon by the name of Lambert Malmaris, an extremely powerful member of the Inner Circle who was obsessed with the boy. In order to hurt Stanton, Lambert attempted to kill Serena. This backfired, as Stanton went willingly back to the Atrox, becoming the Prince of Night, and ultimately led to a showdown between Lambert and the Daughters. As Lambert hurled lightning around, attempting to zap Vanessa, Catty pushed her out of the way, taking the full force of the strike. Her body disappeared, leaving only a burnt mark on the grass behind.
Catty was mourned by the Daughters as dead, and the community believed she had run away. Again. The truth of the matter was that Catty was actually trapped in another dimension, and she ended up being rescued by a young girl who was new to Los Angeles who had the power of telekinesis. The girl, Tianna, became an honorary Daughter of the Moon for saving Catty's life, and Catty gained a new best friend, to the chagrin of Vanessa, who grew deeply jealous of this.
During these few months (where supposedly she must have become sixteen), Catty faced a demon in the attempt to warn Vanessa, faced a spirit possessing spirit and witnessed the split of Followers from the Atrox, and had to deal with death. Again. Tianna had taken the Secret Scroll, believing she could summon the Atrox and destroy it, as she was under the mind control effects of a wizard. It took all of Catty's energy to time travel, leaving Jimena in the past to save them all. In the end, all was fixed and Jimena left the Daughters forever, having turned seventeen and made her choice to forget everything.
The Secret Scroll was found again, but Chris was not around, something that hurt Catty greatly. The manuscript was going to be put on display at a museum, something couldn't allow to happen, because of the curse. In her first attempt to steal it, she hid out in the office of the woman who owned it. Unfortunately, another person had always been given the idea of taking the scroll, a boy Catty only knew of. Kyle. An instant attraction grew between the two, resulting in many confused feelings and hot make outs over the course of a few weeks. The attempt failing, Catty and the other goddesses had to break into the museum to steal the manuscript.
They failed.
The Scroll was lost.
Or so Catty thought. Kyle seemed to be a new attachment in her life, and despite Jimena's odd warnings that Catty should stay away from him, she allowed Kyle in, and he gave her the scroll. He also persuaded her to allow him to take her to her father in Nefandus. It was a trap, and she immediately distrusted Kyle, despite the fact that he had saved her life after her father tricked her into believing that he loved her. This wasn't the end of it. Her father got into contact with her. If she ever wanted to free Chris, she would have to return to Nefandus with the Scroll and hand it over. The Daughters, having been following Catty, also decided to take the trip into the forbidden land of evil. Catty was reunited with Chris, who confessed that he loved her, but she was too stricken and confused to say anything in return. In the end, Catty made the ultimate sacrifice as the Heir, taking the right steps in fulfilling the prophecy she had been born into. She destroyed the scroll instead of handing it over, even though she had known it would kill Chris. He begged her to end his life, to become what she was meant to, and through her tears, she had. She was now the embodiment of the cursed manuscript.
Not long after, her relationship with Kyle failed. She broke up with him, unable to handle it. Then Tianna was kidnapped, to become the Bride of the Atrox. The Daughters went to Nefandus to save her, but she made the choice to end her life. Vanessa and Serena were captured. Catty chose to join her father. It was the only way to become what she was meant, the savior. Time passed. Catty warned Kyle to stay away from her, as their destinies were interwoven with each other, but he didn't listen, and eventually Catty met with him and his friends, as they were key figures in ending the Atrox. She told them that she had discovered the Black Diamond, a jewel supposedly meant to destroy the Atrox once and for all. They were caught, and in silence, the four boys knew what had to be done in order to help Catty. She said that she had captured the Legend of Four, and when challenged for her loyalty, she ordered their deaths, earning herself a place in the Inner Circle alongside her father, who was planning on using his daughter to destroy the Atrox and take its place. She gained immortality through this act.
Catty had to pretend to be Atertra, an evil bitch who enjoyed pain and death. It confused Vanessa, and it took some time to convince her best friend that she was still herself. Still good, despite everything. The end was approaching, and they all knew it. In the end, Catty faced the Atrox alone, not allowing Vanessa to know that she was going to sacrifice her life, even though it hurt tremendously in lying to her again. In not saying goodbye. Catty invoked the name of the creator of the universe without fear, standing in the middle of the Atrox's evil until both the shadow and herself disappeared. And that was the end of Catty Turner.
I will be taking Catty from this moment, the exact point and time that she disappears from the plane of existence.
Special Abilities or Weapons:
Time travel - Catty's main ability in canon is her power to leap back and forth in time. A similar Force ability would be that of flow-walking, a rare ability that allows one to travel into the past or future.
Telepathy - The ability to hear another person's thoughts. This is an ability inherited through her father, and she only casually uses it.
Shapeshifting - At least, that is the term that is used for the generic Follower ability of being able to turn's oneself into a shadow. Translation?

Job: I'm not entirely sure, but I am thinking a cantina dancer. Or merchant. Selling gizka. 8|b
Samples:
First Person:
[there's a moment of silence, even after the young woman has figured out how the device works, a look of extreme curiosity on her face. Her voice is hollow at first before it turns into a happier lilt] I always just kind of assumed the underworld would be a little less... technologically advanced. Less spaceships, more flowing green fields.
So, uh. Can any of the natives tell me where I can find a paint brush, or do those not exist here?
Third Person:
It was strange. Breathing, living, feeling. Not that she hadn't been that way not so long ago, but... Something had changed in Catty Turner. Something had made her feel empty inside. At the end, she had called out the name of the Creator, and it had filled her with something that couldn't be replaced. She was still herself, right? Catty felt like herself. The pain of the things she'd done, the loneliness of not having her mom or her friends, the absolute anger that her chance of happiness was taken from her.
Chris had said...
Her back pressed up again the wall of her new bedroom. It was sparse, nothing like any of the ones back home, but it was much more preferable than Atertra's room, filled with drugged slaves and flowing gowns that made her want to puke. She took a deep, ragged breath, because now was not the time to cry and feel miserable for herself. What was there to be upset over? Just because she hadn't been granted a hero's welcome?
Had they been wrong about her? Was she not pure enough?
What if the steps were wrong? What if she did them wrong?
Her fingers went to her bare neck, and it was stupid to mourn for a charm that she had thrown away so long ago, but now that she was free...
"Selene, I need you," Catty whispered, feeling the dull ache of having no response. What did she have to do to get an answer?
Or some corellian brandy, at the very least.
Anything Else: :3333 Could she room with Ren, please?

Years later, in the present, Catty went to visit her mother, and learned the truth about her mother falling from the goddess and about her real father. She was with Zoe until the end, when Selene took Zoe back.
Meanwhile, Catty's relationship with her boyfriend, Chris, was already beginning to feel rocky. He was cute, smart, sweet, artistic like herself, but he was beginning to withdraw. She felt that he was cheating on her, despite how many times he protested it. It was making her feel strange, and she was unsure of what to do.

Since it had been Chris's job for thousands of years to watch over the manuscript, he had to leave Catty in order to find it. She understood, even though it broke her heart. He left with the parting words that one day they would be together forever.
She never did get over him completely.
After losing the scroll, things seemed to grow worse. In an attempt to free Stanton from his binds of immortality for Serena's sake, the Daughters of the Moon believed they had killed him instead, as his body went through their purification process. Fortunately enough, he had not really died, since he was immortal. By this point, the number of people Catty had seen die was up to four. This was not the end, as Stanton had brought a deadlier threat down on the Daughters of the Moon by the name of Lambert Malmaris, an extremely powerful member of the Inner Circle who was obsessed with the boy. In order to hurt Stanton, Lambert attempted to kill Serena. This backfired, as Stanton went willingly back to the Atrox, becoming the Prince of Night, and ultimately led to a showdown between Lambert and the Daughters. As Lambert hurled lightning around, attempting to zap Vanessa, Catty pushed her out of the way, taking the full force of the strike. Her body disappeared, leaving only a burnt mark on the grass behind.
Catty was mourned by the Daughters as dead, and the community believed she had run away. Again. The truth of the matter was that Catty was actually trapped in another dimension, and she ended up being rescued by a young girl who was new to Los Angeles who had the power of telekinesis. The girl, Tianna, became an honorary Daughter of the Moon for saving Catty's life, and Catty gained a new best friend, to the chagrin of Vanessa, who grew deeply jealous of this.
During these few months (where supposedly she must have become sixteen), Catty faced a demon in the attempt to warn Vanessa, faced a spirit possessing spirit and witnessed the split of Followers from the Atrox, and had to deal with death. Again. Tianna had taken the Secret Scroll, believing she could summon the Atrox and destroy it, as she was under the mind control effects of a wizard. It took all of Catty's energy to time travel, leaving Jimena in the past to save them all. In the end, all was fixed and Jimena left the Daughters forever, having turned seventeen and made her choice to forget everything.
The Secret Scroll was found again, but Chris was not around, something that hurt Catty greatly. The manuscript was going to be put on display at a museum, something couldn't allow to happen, because of the curse. In her first attempt to steal it, she hid out in the office of the woman who owned it. Unfortunately, another person had always been given the idea of taking the scroll, a boy Catty only knew of. Kyle. An instant attraction grew between the two, resulting in many confused feelings and hot make outs over the course of a few weeks. The attempt failing, Catty and the other goddesses had to break into the museum to steal the manuscript.
They failed.
The Scroll was lost.
Or so Catty thought. Kyle seemed to be a new attachment in her life, and despite Jimena's odd warnings that Catty should stay away from him, she allowed Kyle in, and he gave her the scroll. He also persuaded her to allow him to take her to her father in Nefandus. It was a trap, and she immediately distrusted Kyle, despite the fact that he had saved her life after her father tricked her into believing that he loved her. This wasn't the end of it. Her father got into contact with her. If she ever wanted to free Chris, she would have to return to Nefandus with the Scroll and hand it over. The Daughters, having been following Catty, also decided to take the trip into the forbidden land of evil. Catty was reunited with Chris, who confessed that he loved her, but she was too stricken and confused to say anything in return. In the end, Catty made the ultimate sacrifice as the Heir, taking the right steps in fulfilling the prophecy she had been born into. She destroyed the scroll instead of handing it over, even though she had known it would kill Chris. He begged her to end his life, to become what she was meant to, and through her tears, she had. She was now the embodiment of the cursed manuscript.
Not long after, her relationship with Kyle failed. She broke up with him, unable to handle it. Then Tianna was kidnapped, to become the Bride of the Atrox. The Daughters went to Nefandus to save her, but she made the choice to end her life. Vanessa and Serena were captured. Catty chose to join her father. It was the only way to become what she was meant, the savior. Time passed. Catty warned Kyle to stay away from her, as their destinies were interwoven with each other, but he didn't listen, and eventually Catty met with him and his friends, as they were key figures in ending the Atrox. She told them that she had discovered the Black Diamond, a jewel supposedly meant to destroy the Atrox once and for all. They were caught, and in silence, the four boys knew what had to be done in order to help Catty. She said that she had captured the Legend of Four, and when challenged for her loyalty, she ordered their deaths, earning herself a place in the Inner Circle alongside her father, who was planning on using his daughter to destroy the Atrox and take its place. She gained immortality through this act.
Catty had to pretend to be Atertra, an evil bitch who enjoyed pain and death. It confused Vanessa, and it took some time to convince her best friend that she was still herself. Still good, despite everything. The end was approaching, and they all knew it. In the end, Catty faced the Atrox alone, not allowing Vanessa to know that she was going to sacrifice her life, even though it hurt tremendously in lying to her again. In not saying goodbye. Catty invoked the name of the creator of the universe without fear, standing in the middle of the Atrox's evil until both the shadow and herself disappeared. And that was the end of Catty Turner.
I will be taking Catty from this moment, the exact point and time that she disappears from the plane of existence.
Special Abilities or Weapons:
Time travel - Catty's main ability in canon is her power to leap back and forth in time. A similar Force ability would be that of flow-walking, a rare ability that allows one to travel into the past or future.
Telepathy - The ability to hear another person's thoughts. This is an ability inherited through her father, and she only casually uses it.
Shapeshifting - At least, that is the term that is used for the generic Follower ability of being able to turn's oneself into a shadow. Translation?

Samples:
First Person:
[there's a moment of silence, even after the young woman has figured out how the device works, a look of extreme curiosity on her face. Her voice is hollow at first before it turns into a happier lilt] I always just kind of assumed the underworld would be a little less... technologically advanced. Less spaceships, more flowing green fields.
So, uh. Can any of the natives tell me where I can find a paint brush, or do those not exist here?
Third Person:
It was strange. Breathing, living, feeling. Not that she hadn't been that way not so long ago, but... Something had changed in Catty Turner. Something had made her feel empty inside. At the end, she had called out the name of the Creator, and it had filled her with something that couldn't be replaced. She was still herself, right? Catty felt like herself. The pain of the things she'd done, the loneliness of not having her mom or her friends, the absolute anger that her chance of happiness was taken from her.
Chris had said...
Her back pressed up again the wall of her new bedroom. It was sparse, nothing like any of the ones back home, but it was much more preferable than Atertra's room, filled with drugged slaves and flowing gowns that made her want to puke. She took a deep, ragged breath, because now was not the time to cry and feel miserable for herself. What was there to be upset over? Just because she hadn't been granted a hero's welcome?
Had they been wrong about her? Was she not pure enough?
What if the steps were wrong? What if she did them wrong?
Her fingers went to her bare neck, and it was stupid to mourn for a charm that she had thrown away so long ago, but now that she was free...
"Selene, I need you," Catty whispered, feeling the dull ache of having no response. What did she have to do to get an answer?
Or some corellian brandy, at the very least.
Anything Else: :3333 Could she room with Ren, please?
