KATARINA KEALEIGH ROOKWOOD ______________________________________________________________________________________
------------------------------------------------------------
INTRODUCTION------------------------------------------------------------
FULL NAME: Katarina Kaeleigh Rookwood
NICKNAMES: Kat, Kitty
AGE: Born the 15th of Febuary, 2011. Currently she is sixteen years old. Kat will be entering her sixth year next September.
ALLEGIANCE: Like her family, Kat is sympathetic to the Death Eaters and their cause. She has been raised to believe that anyone who is not pureblood is inferior to her. However, unlike the rest of the Rookwoods, she is not openly involved in harassing the muggles and mudbloods. While she supports them, she has no intention of joining the dark forces.
HOGWARTS HOUSE: Ravenclaw.
The house for the smart. Katarina is quiet about her intelligence and doesn’t spend a lot of her time hidden away in the library like some a her housemates. She is extremely organized, always keeping mental lists and sorting things without even thinking about it. Katarina can remember almost everything she has ever read if she works at it. Her memory is not quite photographic, but she does have a talent for connecting with the written word. The classroom setting comes naturally to Kat and she has no problem completing her homework to get above average grades.
CLASSES: Charms & Transfiguration (among others)
WAND: Rosewood, peacock feather core, 12 inches
PLAY BY: Miranda Kerr

APPEARANCE
------------------------------------------------------------
HAIR COLOR: Kat’s hair is a rich chocolate brown. It’s rather thick and always seems to have enough volume that she can style it in whatever way pleases her. Normally she lets it fall freely down, although admittedly, with a spell or two to keep it detangled and perfect no matter what wind Mother Nature throws at her. When completely loose it falls at about the bottom of her shoulder blades. Her locks do have some faint natural curl to them. When Kat chooses to they can be intensified to produce very attractive, loose ringlets towards the ends. When they bother her (or simply don’t go with the outfit of the hour) she can straiten it will no trouble at all and almost instantly turn strait-haired. Although Kat would never let anything magical (wand or otherwise) cut her hair, she has been known to maintain it to beyond perfection with some spells. She believes old fashioned muggle styling never hurt anyone.
EYE COLOR: Kat’s eyes are nothing to write home about. Like the rest of her, they are pretty, just don’t happen to be spectacular. They are a pleasant blue-grey-green color all swirled together so you can’t really make out patterns. They aren’t ugly, they just don’t sparkle like diamonds in the sun or shoot lasers at their enemies.
HEIGHT: At a striking 5’9, Kat even further exemplifies the model body type. After years of waiting the boys of Hogwarts are finally catching up to her height. But even now, the tip of her head may be visible over the top of the crowd. Because of her rapid height gain a few years ago she has a couple stretch marks that she works hard to cover up. Most of Kat’s height comes from her legs, which seem to go on for days. Kat wouldn’t mind being an inch or two shorter to fit in just a little bit better but she’s not going to complain about her looks.
BODY TYPE: Model thin. Half anorexia, half natural metabolism, Kat finds her body able to be shaped in the way that most girls would die for. She has the perfect flat beach belly and gorgeous thin thighs. Unlike most skinny girls Kat is blessed with breasts bigger than AAA’s. This allows her to actually wear a bikini and such. And obviously that is the most important thing.

GOALS:
To keep Kendall out of trouble.

To have a storybook romance.
QUIRKS:
There has never before been such a sexy girl who is quite as awkward about anything romantic as Katarina. She has only kissed a boy, nothing more, and has convinced herself she’s no good at it. She’s comfortable in her body unless it’s around boys, in which case she feels completely vulnerable. Both her friends, and the boys who attempt to be with her, find this extremely strange.
Around people who are more wealthy, older, better looking, or have higher status than her, Katarina tends to keep her head down and tries not to meet them in the eyes. She’s working at not being so submissive but a lifetime of training is hard to forget.
Many more will come out as her character develops (or when I think of them).
BOGGART: A tie between rejection and giants. As one is much more literal than the other, a boggart would normally appear to her as a stomping, raging, all around terrifying male giant. He has supernaturally large biceps and it is obvious that he is capable of crushing the small girl in one hand. Kat is not sure why this is the vision that scares her the most, but a friend once speculated that it is Kat’s interpretation of the male image. Her deeper fear of male contact and how intimidated she feels may be represented in the giant. Her non-boggart fear is fairly simple. All she wants is her father’s approval, not to mention the acceptance of her peers. Kendall is the only person who has ever been there for her. The idea of his rejection (or anyone elses) is enough to drive her just about crazy.
PATRONUS: Katarina is not confident enough in herself to have ever preformed the spell. She has no clue what form her patronus would take and isn’t really sure she would be happy with what she would find. Her happiest memory is a summer day several years ago when she and Kendall went to the beach while on a vacation in Turkey. It was just the two of them with no pressure of the outside world. But even this memory would not be strong enough to produce the patronus charm.
DEMENTOR: Hard to pinpoint. There have been many periods of her life where Kat is far from being happy. The lack of attention from her father and occasionally her brother has been a part of life for as long as she can remember so it doesn’t even really register with her on an emotional level. Katarina has never actually met a dementor so she has not experienced her worst memories but I can guess that it would simply have to give her the feeling of being unwanted and a failure that she dreads.
VERITASERUM: Katarina doesn’t have many secrets. Especially from her family. She’s a good girl who has always followed her parent’s instructions to the dime. There is only two things that she hides. The first is her art. Not that there is anything particularly disgraceful or untactful about it. The most elaborate things she does is create sculptures of clay. But mostly it’s just sketching what she sees. Kat hasn’t really pursued it beyond her room but she has been told by her friends that she is pretty good. She has always wanted to share her work with her brother but has always been afraid that he will laugh at her. It’s not exactly the most useful of skills.
The second simply a feeling. A feeling that her life (and family) isn’t normal. That she should be looking for something more out of her life than simply being given a pureblood husband and making beautiful, pureblood children. But this secret feeling is hidden so deep inside of her that not even veritaserum would bring it out.
MIRROR OF ERISED: If Kat looked into this magic mirror on the wall she would simply see herself. At first glance it would look like nothing was different.. like she was perfectly happy with everything in her life already. But when you looked closer you would see small changes in her. Her physical appearance would remain more or less the same but the way she stands would be more strait up and confident. Kat’s face would be frozen in a wide smile, as if just realizes the punch line to a really funny joke. She looks happy, confident, and comfortable in her own skin. Stronger. Better.
PERSONALITY: At first meeting Katarina seems to be a proud, quiet type of girl who really doesn’t have the time for anyone else simply because her social status places her above the rest of the lowlifes. But in reality she is just extremely shy and soft spoken, especially around members of the opposite sex. If you pursue conversation with Katarina you will find her to be quite intelligent and unintentionally humorous with a wide variety of opinions on the state of the world. She could remain soft spoken for a long time, years even, before really opening up to a former stranger. It take a lot for Katarina to open herself to others. But when she does you’ll be happy with what you find.
Kat is very.. careful. She doesn’t like taking risks to avoid even the thought of getting hurt. She is very quick to take the blame and apologize, even when it is not her fault, with the hope that it will end an argument more quickly. It take quite a bit to make Katarina angry. She is normally a very logical in her thinking and over plans everything. Kat is very organized and knows where everything she owns is. It brings more stress than would be considered normal when things aren’t in their proper place. Including herself. The easiest way to spike her temper would be to take a jab at the Rookwood family. She is unswervingly loyal to the family name. Luckily her protective nature extends beyond her bizarre family and to her close friends as well.
It doesn’t take much to embarrass Katarina. If someone is above her the slightest strange look in her direction will flood her face with brilliant red coloring. This however does not apply to those that she has been taught are below her. She is extremely prejudice towards those who are less wealthy, less beautiful, or have a lower blood status than her. She’s just too subtle about her revolution for anyone to really see it. On the topic on pureblood society, there are aspects of it that she can’t stand. Mainly the lavish parties that people tend to throw. She is absolutely hopeless in social situations where you have to make small talk and she shrinks even further into her shell during them. Meeting people can be borderline terrifying for her.
Despite her fear of crowds, Katarina has been taught how to behave. She is extremely well mannered and proper, almost to the point where it can seem like she’s mocking it with her obedience. Katarina is the perfect, dutiful daughter – respectful, kind, and able to disappear into dark corners when she’s not wanted around. Every once in awhile she will resent the fact that she has been made into a puppet but she prefers not to give it much thought.
When others aren’t around and the pressures of society have lessoned, Katarina is quite a different person. She has a beautiful laugh, and a cute smile. The water calls to her and she can’t resist jumping in puddles like a schoolchild when it’s raining. She captures beauty in her unintentional art – from swirling food with her fork to arranging seashells and driftwood on the beach to styling her hair every morning. Occasionally she will sit down and intentionally sketch. This normally happens with little doodles on her notes during class or on days when she sprawls out lazily on the grounds of Hogwarts. Her drawings are pretty (she has an eye for realism – no one can paint a bowl of fruit quite like her) but she is starting to enjoy making little sculptures with whatever she happens to have in her pockets at the time. Clay would be preferred but gum wrappers and broken quills do just fine.
Katarina is the epitome of naive. She has quite strong opinions for someone who hasn’t really been able to experience the world for herself. Luckily she has too small of a voice for people to take offence to them. Any type of sexual activity is more or less a mystery to her. With her brother and father being who they are, it is somewhat a miracle that she manages to still hold every bit of her innocence. It’s not like she’s waiting for her wedding night or that he hasn’t had the opportunity many times. Katarina isn’t sure what is holding her back from that type of.. experience. She wants a fairytale romance with a knight to sweep her off her feet and carry her to safety. Katarina is guarded enough to protect herself against falling easily.
Despite her pureblood upbringing, Katarina continues to be a sweet, unassuming girl. She’s beautiful but smart. Proud but modest. Even though she can be considered to be a bit snobbish from the first impression, she is much deeper than her name. Katarina has many layers that most will never get the chance to see. She is a genuinely good person to the core.
