Description:
Cateline always attempts to find the positive in a problem, though if she is having a relapse she may be the most negative person in the world. The young faerie is almost always smiling and looks to others when she needs help, especially if she is in physical pain, though emotional pain will see her pull into a shell that few can penetrate. She loves animals and will often take care of a stray, bringing it back to health, then releasing it to find a home more suitable for it. She uses this as her way to make up for what her dad did to her. One of the few things in the world that she loves is strawberries, she loves it whenever Chase brings some from the market for her to eat.

Her father abused her as a child leaving her emotionally scarred. She has triggers that can put her into an emotionally distressed state. When in this state she can have anything as simple as uncontrollable shaking to being mute and unresponsive to people talking to her. The only person who has ever been able to pull her out of this state is Chase. When she has these relapses she is especially scared of fire and water, for these were devises her father used to abuse and torture her, nearly to the point of death at times. One of the ways she copes with this is drawing things. Often they are of places she has gone or people she has met but other times she will draw something that will pertain to her past, such as a lake scene with a fish on fire underwater.

HISTORY AND BACKGROUND
Cateline was a happy girl for a few years, she visited her cousin often during this time and got to know both Arianna and Shou pretty well. That was until her father Richard Rodriguez, uncle of Arianna, started to be abusive to Cateline and her mother after her sixth birthday. He didn't like the fact that Cateline had turned out to be a faerie and not a forest elf like himself. He blamed her mother for it mostly and tortured her to her death. Cateline never saw Arianna and Shou again, her father keeping her away from her two friends.

He started with water. Cateline couldn't swim so he would throw her into a lake and then fish her out after she had nearly drowned. for some reason he couldn't let her just die, she had to suffer, and she hated him for it. She just wanted the suffering to end, then Richard started with the fire.

She thought she couldn't stand the water, but the fire brought more pain than she could ever imagine. Every day he would light a different part of Cateline on fire, wait a few seconds, then throw her into the same lake he tortured her with before. She was 14 when it started. He even went as far as lighting her wings on fire before throwing her into the lake. She is afraid that she'll never regain her ability to fly because of this, though she is hopeful that one day she will be able to again fly.

The day she was finally saved from her father was nearly her last day alive, and also her fifteenth birthday. As soon as she hit the water after the most brutal burn that stretched down her entire back everything start to fade out of focus. She thought the pain was finally going to stop, that her life of pain and near death experiences would finally be over. She felt hands wrap around her body and she did something she should have done a while ago, she fought to get out of their grip.

Whoever it was that had the grip on her didn't let go and dragged her ashore, but not until after she had passed out from taking in too much water. Then they did something that she didn't expect from her dad, the started to pump her chest, making her cough up water. When she finally came to she found her burns were all bandaged and that she was in a place she didn't recognize. She sat up slowly and looked around, trying to get a baring on where she was at when an unfamiliar face walked in.

His name was Chase Vega and he had saved her from Richard, giving her a new lease on life. She has become an artist, staying with Chase until she turns eighteen. She hopes by then that she will be adept enough in the ways of the world to be able to survive on her own without help.
