<div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/4/41/Amandaseyfried.jpg)</div><strong>Name: </strong>Cathleen “Cat”  Hera Dalen<br/><strong>Age:</strong>20<br/><strong>Gender:</strong>Female<br/><strong>Living Quarter: </strong>loft 2<br/><strong>Orientation:</strong>Bisexual<br/><strong>Marital Status: </strong>Single, available<br/><strong>O&amp;O: </strong>Her ons are romance, experience, and a willingness to experiment along with the ability to understand that No means No.<br/><br/><strong>Job: </strong>Candle-maker<br/><strong>Skills:  </strong>Animal husbandry, beekeeping, pottery, Jewellery making (wire working), and other crafts (she’s pretty artsy and creative).<br/><br/><strong>Appearance: </strong>Cat’s large green-blue eyes are her most striking feature, giving her an innocent doe eyed look (which is quickly ruined when she pulls her full lips into her trademark smirk). Her hair is a natural blond with a wavy tendency that has a habit of catching on things when she lets it grow too far past her shoulders, and her body has been shaped by her years of working with animals, and the manual labour that comes with taking care of them. She is only a diminutive 5’ 2”, but her slender figure should not be mistaken as a weak one.<br/><strong>Model: </strong>Amanda Seyfried<br/><br/><strong>Personality: </strong>Known for her super creative (and often pretty weird) ideas and enthusiasm, her nickname makes more sense if you consider the saying ‘curiosity got the cat.’ She is never content to be satisfied with the way something is, even if it works perfectly fine she will find some way to improve (or break) it. This has often lead to her candles being rather unusual! People in the community can always tell if they have a batch that is her handiwork by hand carved shapes, pressed flowers, dyed wicks, herbal scents or other artistic touches. Her forwardness and friendly attitude is not the only parts of her personality, however prevalent they seem. She has a fierce love of animals, and a good ability to read their personalities from growing up on a hobby farm. She’s a girl you want with you if you’re trying to tell if you goat is in an ornery mood, or if that beehive is quiet because the queen is planning on leaving with her swarm!<br/><br/><strong>History:  </strong>As an “oops” baby, Cat grew up unsure whether her family considered her a blessing or a cure. With a mother deep into a career in biopsychology and a father busy as a veterinarian, it was her twelve year old brother took on the responsibility of keeping his sister out of too much trouble.<br/><br/>Living on a hobby farm meant that Cat’s early years were spent tossing grain to a myriad of birds, chasing cats and attempting to riding squealing pigs. Having a hard working student as a brother who continually pushed Cat to do better (and was willing to help her with her homework) helped her to graduate grade twelve with grades good enough for a full scholarship into a University Agricultural program. With her brother soon after marrying and selling his place near the hobby farm, her father realized that he couldn’t handle the job of looking after their land with just Cat’s help and sold. With nothing to keep her close to home, Cat moved into residence and bought her books, looking forward to learning the skills she’d need to turn her dreams of a much expanded farming operation into truth.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, the natural little hobby farm Cat had grown up on had not prepared her to face the reality of a field dominated by big pesticide and GMO companies, and only after a single year, Cat dropped out, much to her brother’s horror. She moved to a small town and worked at an apiary who’s owner was impressed enough to offer her a job for her help. She fell in love with the mysterious yellow creatures and became deeply disturbed by Colony Collapse Syndrome, and began looking for people who cared about respecting the environment and Earth so that the creatures she loved would have a chance to survive. She found the Children of Gaia, and the rest, they say, is history.<br/><br/><strong>Other Notes: </strong>
