personality evaluated. Over the years Catherine has had a lot of different personalities - she never really never who she was. She was cheerleader Catherine - the preppy airhead that played dumb all the time. Tom boy Catherine - the girl that climbed trees, played sports and got a new bruise every Sunday. Aggressive Catherine - the one that picked a fight with everyone that dare look at her the wrong way. Goth Catherine - the one that was obsessed with death and spent most of her days at the cemetery. And finally, there was Catherine Catherine. The down-to-earth, animal loving, tree hugging, actor that squeals when there's a 'to die for' shoe sale at the mall. Catherine Catherine seems to be the only identity where Catherine doesn't feel like she's acting or trying to be that way - it just comes naturally.

Catherine isn't very complex, she has a very simple way of seeing things who spends little time working on the small details. Her way of seeing things is to live in the moment, be yourself and have fun. Catherine isn't one to worry about whether or not she'll get this role or that role. The only things she finds herself worrying about most of the time is her parents not being proud of her or not noticing her and whether or not she'll bump into paparazzi once she gets a starring role in a movie or show. She's generally a optimistic person who tries to look at the bright side of things - but sometimes, it just isn't possible for her to look at the better side of things.

Catherine is in love with just about all animals - all animals with more than four legs that is. She loves to see life and feel the heart beat of a baby or small kitten - funny considering she used to be a goth. Although like most she can't help but smack her newest addition of People on that gross spider when she sees it. In her eyes - it has eight fucking legs! That is not natural. That is just gross. Of course.. she's going to have to buy a new magazine and buy some heavy duty cleaning supplies to clean those nasty spider guts.

Another thing - Catherine, pretty big germaphobe. She cannot stand germs. She walks around with baby wipes in her purse. Catherine refuses to get in a taxi without wiping that handle with about three baby wipes and the seat with five. She will shake your hand - but don't be offended if she loads up with hand sanitizer - that she also keeps in her purse. Oh, please for the good of Catherine's health, do not sneeze or cough near her. She might have a minor heart attack if you do. Or her brain will explode thinking of all the possible ways those nasty germs that just came out of your nose/mouth are making their way to her.

Catherine is normally a very bubbly and upbeat person. She doesn't care if people laugh at her or make fun of her - the only thing she cares about is the she has fun. Catherine is the type to dance like a maniac in public or blasting music while brushing her teeth. She's one to greet people with a wide grin and her eyes bright with enthusiasm. Getting her down is pretty hard to do - She knows how to brush things off with her head held high and a comeback rolling off her tongue.

Catherine is a bit of a potty mouth too. Curses rush out of her mouth without her brain even getting a chance to run them through. She usually doesn't notice when she curses or cares much.

Catherine is always trying to make her adoptive parents proud of her. They were always more proud of their real daughter, Isabelle. Catherine always resented Isabelle because of this. She just wanted to be noticed, loved, given praise, something to make Catherine feel like she apart of the family and not just some guest living in there home. Inside Catherine has always been a little girl crying for her mother's love.

Although Catherine doesn't have a big temper or a lot of anger there is a few things that tick her off. The minute she sees her adopted sister, Isabelle her blood instantly starts to boil and her temper starts to spike. Arrogance is something that annoys Isabelle as well. If she feels your being arrogant she wont hesitate to call you out on it. She definitely isn't one to beat around the bush. If she needs to call you out on something - she will. And she wont be all that nice about it.

While Catherine may be a animal loving, tree hugging, down-to-earth germaphobe, that doesn't mean she doesn't like a good shopping spree. Her knees buckle when she spots a sign that says 'SALE', her palms start to sweat when she spots a gorgeous purse for half off and she starts to bounce on the balls of her feet when she spots a to die for jacket. Can you blame her? She's a girl in New York aspiring to be a actor.

history evaluated.
Nathan and Jennifer were high school sweethearts, two sophomores in high school having the time of their lives. One night, at a party they decided it would be 'the night'. But they were young and in love and failed to use a condom. That night, Catherine was conceived.

Nathan and Jennifer were far from ready to have a child and abortion was something Jennifer frowned upon. So they decided they would put Catherine up for adoption. They pregnancy was long and hard. Jennifer's parents kicked her out and she was forced to move in with Nathan despite his mother's displeasure. School was a pain and money was going fast. When Catherine was born she was given to an orphanage in Dallas where Jennifer and Nathan lived. Catherine didn't mind living in the orphanage all that much, some of the girls were nice, and the women that worked there were nice and loving to Catherine. But a part of her always asked herself why her parents didn't want her. What was wrong with her?

She spent just over five years at the orphanage until a couple, Andrew and Annabelle, came to the orphanage looking for a young girl. Annabelle and Andrew already had a daughter, Isabelle who was ten, but Annabelle and Andrew wanted another daughter and Annabelle was not longer able to have children. They chose Catherine, for once in her life Catherine felt wanted and she couldn't be more happy. But when she got to the Harris' house in New York she met Isabelle, who was very jealous and not pleased to be sharing her room with a 'unwanted twerp'. Isabelle was one of those prefect A++ girls that never stepped out of line and got prize after prize. She made Catherine sick.

Catherine soon found it hard to get any attention from her new mom and dad. She always found she wasn't sure who she was, what she liked and what style was best for her. She tried many different looks and personalities trying to see what was her. And more importantly, what her new mom and dad would like or even notice. Catherine wasn't sure what to do with her new situation. Her parents never noticed or no matter what she did. Isabelle started to bug Catherine and deceive her every move - making sure she did it better. It seemed everything Isabelle did made her sick.

When Catherine was 17 she finally found out who she was. She ignored Isabelle's taunts and annoying antics - a lot easier now that Isabelle had moved. She tried to get her parents attention again, thinking it would be easier without Isabelle around to ruin it for her. It didn't seem to work considering Isabelle managed to undermine her even at university. She got prefect grades, awards out of the butt and nothing but praise from Annabelle and Andrew. And Catherine? She got close to prefect grades and an award here or there. But no praise. Like always.

Once Catherine was 18 she moved out. She got a dog to and named her Belle after Isabelle. Not a complement. Catherine moved into a small apartment in New York City and launched into a career of acting. She felt that if she could play all those different personalities as a teenager and pre-teen that acting wouldn't be all that hard. She went to acting school and instantly tried out for role after role just waiting to get a big part in a show or movie. HA! Imagine Isabelle's face when Catherine is leading on a big screen hit while Isabelle's just writing some lame article for New York Times. Take that, Isabelle.

Sunlight filled the small kitchen of the Harris' house. Isabelle sat at her usual seat around the island, picking at a bowl of cereal quietly, a newspaper in her hand - no doubt reading her latest article just thinking of ways to brag. Mrs. Harris flipped an egg at the oven with fast movements. Mr. Harris took a class of orange juice off the counter and took a seat next to Isabelle, sipping his juice. The only sound in the room was the sizzle of the frying pan, the flipping of the newspaper in Isabelle's hand and the sound of a door opening.

Catherine skipped into the kitchen, she was wearing black skin-tight skinny jeans with a loose white top and a black and white beanie with black and white converse on her feet. Belle, her dog followed at her heels, barking happily. "Ugh, did you have to bring that mutt with you?" Isabelle groaned and rolled her newspaper up, swatting it at the golden dog.

Catherine rolled her eyes and scratched Belle behind her floppy, golden ears. "She's no more of a mutt than you are, Isabelle." Catherine shot back with a sarcastic grin before taking a seat. Isabelle gave a small Humph and rolled her eyes before continuing to eat her cereal. Catherine felt a small surge of triumph and grinned to her self, tucking a loose strand off hair behind her ear.

"What brings you here, Catherine?" Mrs. Harris asked, ignoring Isabelle and Catherine's bickering. She slid two eggs out of the frying pan and onto a plate before taking a seat of her own and sipping from her usual morning coffee.

Catherine cocked her head to the side, a hint of a smirk of her light pink lips and bat her eyes innocently. "A daughter can't visit her parents? And their mutt? Catherine said softly, a harsh tone at the last part her eyes darting to Isabelle who scoffed and rolled her eyes again. Catherine returned the eye roll and turned back to her parents, grinning brightly. "I have a audition today and I just wanted to stop by on my way there."

Mr. Harris put down his orange juice and smiled at Catherine. Mrs. Harris set her coffee down lightly and grinned softly. Isabelle shot Catherine a death glare before whipping her head back to her newspaper. "That's great! What's role are you auditioning for?" Mrs. Harris asked, a hint of pride in her voice. Catherine straighten, filled with joy at the pride in her mother's voice.

"Any part I get. As long as I'm in the movie I don't care what part." Catherine replied with a slight shrug of her shoulders.

"That's a nice way to look at things, Sweetie. Good luck." Mr. Harris said, smiling at his daughter.

Catherine's heart swelled with pride as both her parents praised her. "Thanks! Er, I better get going if I don't want to be late." Catherine said, getting up and kissing her mom and dad's cheeks. "Bye mom, bye dad. Bye, mutt." Catherine said smirking at Isabelle, turning and leaving, Belle following at her heels. She would make sure that she got some role. A important role. Eat it, Isabelle. Catherine thought as she drove to her audition.
