Katerina Petrova was a naive girl who believed in love. Consuming, hopeless, romantic love. She was also a girl who was born in a time where she was confined to her own gilded cage, told who to be, what to do, and what she was capable of. All Katerina craved was freedom. Death gave it to her. Born a Petrova doppelgänger, Katerina was a spitting image of a woman who existed years ago. Her blood held special magical properties required to turn Klaus Mikaelson into a full hybrid — a wolf and vampire. Thus, she and her bloodline were hunted. In a bid to save herself, Katerina hung herself with vampire blood in her system. Upon awakening, she became Katherine, a newly-born vampire with nothing but her life in her hands. Running for five hundred years, Katherine survived by making very little connections. Throwing people under the bus, she learned the best way to ensure she remained alive and ten steps ahead of Klaus was to use people as if they were the pawns she was made out to be. After faking her death in 1864, securing her freedom for a good two hundred years until she saw the path she wished to walk upon that would lead her to her true freedom reveal itself to her, she had nothing to accompany her but her own shadow. Alone and vengeful, Katherine has barely lived at all. But as a vampire, she has gained everything she had ever wanted in life — some poor copy of freedom. Her history is complicated and long-winded, spanning five hundred years as an eighteen year old girl grew up way too fast, was alone for far too long, and couldn't even trust her own shadow. FIRST IMPRESSIONS visual — As Katherine is a doppelgänger, there are a few tells to give her away when compared to Elena and the other ladies we don't speak of. Katherine wears her hair naturally curly. She dresses sensually and feminine, always opting for sleek pants and heels. Her voice is deep and husky. Katherine is sly. She's manipulative. Her smiles are never quite genuine; they're masks, and almost smirks. She walks with confidence in her step. She stands at 5'6", with dark eyes, and a tanned complexion. demeanour — Katherine is always never quite true. What she presents to those around her is a mask and a web her pincers like to weave. She's a woman who is hiding beneath layers and layers of protection. Even when Katherine is being truthful, those around her think she's being dishonest, implying as much that Katherine's mask never once wavers (or perhaps it is not a mask at all). aural — impersonating elena while also doing her nails. PERSONALITY Survivor. Manipulative. Self-centred. Cunning. Witty. Funny. Ruthless. Calculative. Loyal — to a degree. Cares too much. Strategist. Careful. Persuasive. Seductive. Confident. Bitter. Angry. Resentful. Petulant. Lonely. ABILITIES AND WEAKNESSES ENHANCED ABILITIES : This includes strength, speed, and healing. The older the vampire, the stronger they are, so Katherine's pretty strong. She can run very fast. She can throw almost anything as though it were merely a feather. And she can heal (and recover) very quickly from injury. HEIGHTENED SENSES : Vampires can hear whispered conversations as though they were happening right in front of them at a loud volume. They can also smell blood and see in total darkness. MIND COMPULSION : Compulsion is the ability to control minds and alter/erase human memories. This is done through eye contact; the vampire must look into the eyes of their victim and verbally command them. Victims usually repeat the command as a way of acknowledging the compulsion worked. Victims also are unaware that they are being compelled. Once again, the older the vampire, the stronger and better the compulsion; the diet of the vampire is also important - if they feed from the vein, their compulsion is stronger than that of someone who feeds from animals. Katherine cannot compel another vampire. Compulsion is cancelled out by the consumption or wearing of vervain, therefore making the victim immune. And the victim becomes aware of their state of being compelled if they are turned into a vampire. DREAM MANIPULATION : Vampires can control dreams and the subconscious. This means that they can produce and modify dreams, creating almost alternate realities in one's mind, as well as nightmares. IMMORTALITY : Once turned, the vampire stops ageing. They can live forever, until they meet their fate with a stake in the heart or sun baking in the sun or are bitten by a werewolf. LAPIS LAZULI : This is a mystical stone enchanted by a witch that allows a vampire to walk freely in the sunlight without being burned alive. Katherine's is currently in the form of a bracelet; only she can wear it for it to work. VERVAIN IMMUNITY : Katherine is a unique case. She's ingested vervain for over 150 years. This does not mean vervain does not harm her - it still does - however, the effect is lessened due to her built-up resistance. TRAVELER WITCH : Being a vampire has rendered her witchy powers null and void. However, she is still considered a member of the Travelers despite being a vampire herself. The Travelers are a sub-culture of witches who had broken away from using nature as their core. They're capable of Traveler Magic, a form of magic specialising in spirit possession. The language of the spells are different from all other forms of magic. Katherine is capable of tapping into her Traveler gene when she is human, and possesses knowledge of the magic, even if it's never quite confirmed she had ever practiced until after her selected canon point. STARVATION : A vampire needs to consume blood in order to maintain their strength and fitness. If a vampire is starved, they become weak, and slowly begin to desiccate/mummify. VERVAIN : Touching vervain burns a vampire and causes intense pain. If consumed, it is as though their insides are on fire. They become weak, and are unable to attack when touching or consuming this herb. They can be injected with vervain, therefore weakening them or incapacitating them. WEREWOLF BITE : A bite from a werewolf is fatal, depending on where Klaus happens to be in the world. Werewolf venom will slowly cause a vampire to hallucinate, suffering a slow and painful death as they almost drive themselves crazy with past memories, hunger, and the inability to control themselves. The only known cure is the ingestion of Klaus Mikaelson's blood. Hybrids or werewolves, their bites are dangerous to vampires. STAKE : If staked in the heart, a vampire dies. MAGIC : Vampires are affected by witchcraft. Witches can cause vampire brain aneurisms, which basically gives the vampire a migraine that incapacitates them. The older the vampire, the stronger they are, but the stronger the with, the weaker the vampire - it's a balance that isn't defined as easily as the enhanced abilities, as once upon a time, Katherine was able to pull herself out of Bonnie's aneurism spell, but as Bonnie's grown into a stronger witch, there's a more than likely chance Katherine will not be able to do that again. INVITATION : Vampires cannot enter a private residence, one that is owned, with their name on the lease, without an invitation. An invitation cannot be rescinded without the changing of the ownership of the house to another human being, therefore rendering all invitations null and void. If the owner dies, it's a free for all - vampires can enter the residence if there is no ownership. If a vampire enters a residence without an invitation, they begin to suffocate. SUNLIGHT : Without the day-walking jewellery, vampires will burn in the sun. They'll light up like a Christmas tree. MISCELLANEOUS : Vampires can also be burned to death by fire. Rip their hearts out and they will die, too. And if the Original vampire that sired their bloodline dies, they die, too. (If Klaus dies, Katherine goes with him.)
