This gives her a leg up in the academics department and makes a force to be reckoned with. As a trainer, she is very defensive and careful of her decisions during battle. Sir Kingly, her Kingdra - Miyu, her Frogadier - and Eressa, her Kirlia, have been together since her earliest memories. Their bond is strong, so much so that it is hard to mistaken it for anything other than friendship. This makes for pokemon battling<br/> <br/><strong>Weaknesses:</strong> Keeping her head the books and her mind focused only on herself and her pokemon, makes her a very hard person to get along with. At times, Katherine can look arrogant or full of it, when she really wants to focus on doing well. This can cause her to get into fights with other students (not willingly) and put herself into situations she knows she can't win or is unnecessary.<br/><br/><strong>Look/Appearance:</strong> Katherine is of average height, standing five feet, five inches. She is unique in appearance because of her skin condition that puts white patches sporadically through her skin. It took a while to get used to, but she wears it as a badge of honor. Her eyes are a bright blue color and her hair is a vibrant cotton candy pink. Although small chested, she is quite curvy - with thick legs and a round behind. Her style is much like her appearance, casual - yet colorful.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><span class="bbc_u">Student History</span></span><br/><strong>Personality:</strong> Katherine is a studious and ambitious young woman. Her time is often spent in the books, studying all she can about pokemon, making her a very geekish individual. Though at times she can come off rather stuck up or in her own world, she is a caring and king person deep down. Despite her nature, Katherine has a knack for competition and getting her hands in any sort of academic or pokemon battle of sorts. <br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong> Katherine grew up with her mother, father, and older brother in Castelia City - Unova. Her love of academics, pokemon, and competition come from the collective backgrounds of her family. At young age, she received her first pokemon Horsea after her family noticed her love of water and swimming. On a whim she named her Horsea - Sir Kingly, even though Horsea was female. The family embraced her quirkiness and the name with open arms. <br/><br/>From then on, Katherine grew up going to several pokemon schools where she learned the basics of training, battling, and a few niche know-hows. She especially gravitated towards the historical and scientific aspect of Pokemon, giving her the academic push to do well in the future. Although Katherine was smart and hardly talkative, she was teased relentlessly for her looks. This gave Katherine an even bigger push do well and not worry about everyone else around her.<br/><br/>Through her studying and drive, her parents rewarded her with two new  pokemon - A ralts she named Eressa and a Froakie, her mother got from her visit in Kalos, that she then named Miyu. Together, her Seadra, Froakie, and Ralts became the best of friends. Many kids her age thought she was strange because of her fascination with Pokemon and her unwillingness to make many friends because of the teasing.<br/><br/>As she got older, she grew to accept who she was and in that journey, her pokemon had evolved into Frogadier, Kingdra, and Kirlia. Through this new discovery, she drastically changed her hair from the natural black, to a bright and colorful pink. This made her stand out, whether good or bad, and help her self-confidence.<br/><br/>Eventually her hardwork and dedication paid off. Her work ethic and intelligent mind grabbed the attention of the PTA, where she was one of the few to be selected to work under such a prestigious academy. Her family not only fully supported her, but encouraged her to go and try something new. This is the first for Katherine to be so far from home, but she knows it'll be worth the journey.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><span class="bbc_u">Other</span></span><br/><strong>Likes:</strong> Her pokemon, studying, writing, drawing, ocean, snorkeling, water &amp; dragon pokemon, and Pokemon competitions <br/><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Procrastinators, abusers, bullies, not spending time with her pokemon<br/><strong>Ons/Offs:</strong> Intelligence, Aggressiveness, and Kissing <br/>- Poor Hygiene, bad kissers, and non-con</div>
