body type:: Muscular // Athletic
hair color:: Black
eye color:: Dark Brown
overall:: To call Kat an elegant beauty with nearly no flaws, that would be a bit more than an over statement, however, to call her ugly, or even unattractive would be an understatement. I guess you can put her somewhere in the middle, pretty average.
Most people have amazing eyes, you know, the ones that stay in your mind even after the person is gone? Well, Kat doesn't have eyes like that. Hers are just normal. Their dark chocolate brown depths nearly blend with her black pupils. Her eyelashes however, are long, lush and dark, framing her ordinary eyes beautifully. As far as Kat's Hispanic background goes, her eyes are just about as usual as anyone's could be.
Katarin's face is full and muscular, her cheekbones high and slightly defined, though not as much as those elegant women you see on TV. Her thin lips aren't anything special either. They don't dry out too easily, but if anything Kat tries to keep them healthy with a steady coat of lip balm. Kat's hair is naturally black, long and straight, brushing down to about her mid back, though she usually keeps it tied back in a sleek ponytail.
The rest of Kat's face is just about as average as everything else. A soft, natural looking nose, and finely shaped eyebrows that don't take much grooming. Her naturally tan skin is what catches people's attention. It seems to hold a natural glow all it's own, even in the faintest of light. There are a few faded freckles scattered across her body, but they just add to her unique personality.
As far as her body type, she has always been classified as having a boyish build. She isn't by any means tall, simply average. Kat's not quite thin, but healthy looking with finely toned muscles. Her shoulders are broad and she has a very muscular physique. She doesn't quite care about the way she looks and couldn't care less what other people think.
Kat doesn't believe in dressing up. Most of the time she can be found with a simple pair of jeans and a t-shirt or tank top on. She's comfortable with her body, but isn't slutty. She isn't afraid to show some skin, but she knows where to draw the line. A pair of boots always cover her feet, flames dancing across the toe.

overall:: If anything, Kat isn't your typical type of girl. She certainly isn't one to go out shopping for hours on end, just for the fun of it. She won't spend a zillion hours in front of the mirror before deciding she's presentable to the general public. You could say that she is very comfortable with the way she is and won't change a thing for anyone. She will always act like herself, whether that means hanging like one of the guys or taking her anger out in violence.
She loves being outside and keeping active, always striving and pushing to do the best that she can. She is very strong minded, not afraid of letting her voice be heard. Kat chooses the people she hangs with carefully. The loud, obnoxious, outgoing, smiley type of people really get on her nerves. She's always the darker, tougher one with the short temper, but after you get to know Kat and she lets you under that thick skin of hers, you'll find she's one of the most loyal friends a person can have. She's not the easiest person to become friends with, she has a bit of a lack of trust, and can be a bit judgmental at first.
Kat is most known for her sarcastic, hardened, tough talking, rebellious attitude. She can seem to be a bit bullheaded at times and take the harder roads, but when it comes right down to it, she knows what she can and can't do, even if she does push those limitations. Her short temper and bullheaded nature tend to be the downsides of her character. She is known for getting into fights and dropping to violence to solve her problems. This has gotten her in trouble a couple times, and she knows she has to work on this.
There have been a few times in Kat's life that guys have really been attracted to her. They say it's her rough, boy like nature that intrigues them. It's usually her friends that get the feelings, the ones she doesn't want to date, but then again, the feelings run the other way too. There have been more than one occasion where she's let herself become attracted to one of her friends. Either way, there was only one relationship she had been involved in that really worked - for a while. The others just ended up in embarrassment for at least one of them.

overall:: It wasn't exactly love at first sight when Carlos and Esperanza were practically thrown at each other. As far as their personalities went, two people couldn't have been more different. Their parents had set up an engagement between the two before either of them could walk, and at first they couldn't stand each other. Esperanza even planned on running away on several occasions. She succeeded once, and without such a plan, the couple never would have fell for each other.
The pair 'met' while thy both were in their early twenties. The marriage was planned for the next month, though both of them were unwilling to go through with it. Both muggles, they had no clue about the life of magic that surrounded them. After escaping from her over protective parents, Esperanza had slipped into a dark bar on the outskirts of the next town over from where she lived. The air was filled with smoke and the people were creepy to say the least. As she made her way to the bar, she bumped into none other than the man she was supposed to marry, though neither of them recognized the other. Carlos too had sought to get away from the planned marriage and ran away. They spent the rest of the night sitting at the bar talking to each other. Finally realizing who they were talking to, they had already grown on each other.
The rest as they say, was history. The pair that once hated each other happened to fall in love, getting married just as their parents had always planned for them. After about a year and a half of happy marriage, the couple was blessed with a beautiful baby girl. They both loved having a child, but Carlos had secretly wanted a son. As Kat reached the age of six, her mother grew terribly ill. Within a month she had passed away and Carlos was left to raise his daughter on his own. Knowing practically nothing about how to raise a child, let alone a daughter, Carlos proceeded to raise Kat as if she was a boy.
Too young to remember much of anything from her mother, Kat's father had a great influence on her life and still remains a major part of her. She grew up enjoying life, not thinking about what like would have been if she had a mother. Not knowing about her soon magical life, she attended muggle school and as she grew older she began to look more and more like her beautiful mother. She had her mother's good looks, but she had her father's personality and short temper. It wasn't long before she started showing signs of magic and getting in trouble for beating up the boys. She learned quickly, but always found ways to use what she learned for her own benefit.
On her eleventh birthday she woke with a start, finding it odd to see a large, yet magnificent owl perched just outside her bedroom window. Slipping from her covers she opened her window and took the letter from its beak. Unfolding it carefully, she couldn't believe what she was seeing. Running down the stairs she practically threw the folded parchment at her father. Confused, yet supportive of his daughter, he allowed her to attend Hogwarts for the entire seven years. After graduating, she was given the choice to return to living as a muggle, or to continue on in the magical world. She took a year off from anything to think over the life changing decision and in the end, decided to stay in the magical world. With her love for Defense Against the Dark Arts, she almost immediately knew she would become an Auror.
Now in her twenty third year of life Kat has been a successful Auror for several years. She loves her job, but finds that true companions are hard to find. She takes her job seriously, but it doesn't consume her entire life. Still single, she waits for the right man to walk into her life - or back into it. She dreams of settling down and raising a family one day, but as for the moment, she's too caught up in the rush of living to slow down just yet.

roleplay sample:: (can be recycled, and remember, quality before quantity)It had been a long time. A long time since she'd been back at Hogwarts, a long time since she'd seen him. It had been a long time since she had even thought about him. Walking through the halls of the ministry, she thought she saw him. No, she knew she saw him. Instantly she had forgot why she was in that particular hall, and turned around. She wasn't sure why she didn't want him to see her, or why her heart suddenly skipped a beat. I guess, she never really got over him. She had left him without really saying goodbye or giving him a real reason why. She still didn't really know why she left so long ago.
The glimpse, the fact that he was there, it made all the memories she had forced to the back of her mind come rushing back, as if the dam holding them back had disappeared completely. She found herself not able to focus on anything, her mind always going back to when they were still together, back to the day she left. She saw his face everywhere she looked. How could someone she gave up so long ago torture her so badly?
That would explain why she had come back. Why she was making her way up the stone steps of her past. Her dark brown eyes scanned the slightly different entrance hall. Yes, it had been a while. Her heavy combat boots echoed with every step, the red flames that danced across the toes disappeared underneath her baggy camouflage cargo pants. A black leather belt secured them to her hips, her wand stashed in one of the front pockets. A red tank top clung to her muscular torso, and a black zip-up hoody covered her bare arms. Her long black hair was pulled back in a sleek ponytail, a single thick piece left out of it falling back into her face.
Her eyes snapped to the stairs as a young looking student came down the stairs, besides the student, Kat was the only one in the hall. Leaning against the wall coolly, she watched the student as they came closer. "Hey chica," she called, crossing her arms across her chest as the student jumped in surprise. "Where's the headmaster?"
