Character Information
Catrina Sue Maguire is usually very quiet and reserved; she used to be very predicable but has recently become a little bit less so. She speaks with a high-class antebellum southern accent. Previously, she would only wear long black dresses – or at least dresses – and was never seen without her wedding ring. Now, she often dresses more like a modern teenager and has taken up skateboarding. She has not worn her wedding ring since July of 2011.
Catrina is a Seamstress and Clothing Designer. She also has some talent for drawing, but doesn't showcase it much. In 2009, Catrina began designing and creating armor. Soon thereafter, she began painting. Much more recently, Catrina has begun teaching herself to play drums and bass guitar, insisting that she is going to have a garage band as a rite of passage. She is also known to keep emu, a fact that some members of the domain simply won't let her live down.
Catrina Sue is known to see and talk to ghosts, a bit of an odd occupation in Middle Georgia. She doesn't really know much lore on the subject, but has regular run-ins with the wraith world that have caused her to endeavor to learn more. When asked about this odd trait, Catrina has been known to reply, “I've always seen them since I was little. It's because my eyes are blue.”
Catrina seems to gain inspiration from sources that most people shun and enjoys gaining this inspiration, although she often does not remember having gained it. It is known that she occasionally regresses in high-stress situations. When regressed, Catrina is quiet and often attempts to hide. When she does speak, it is with a Scottish accent.
Known History
Catrina admits to having traveled extensively around Europe with her sire for centuries. Her move to Georgia was early in the state's history; she admits to having owned a plantation and misses having large numbers of people in her house. She fell into torpor intentionally just after the Civil War ended and awoke just before Milledgeville was taken by the Sabbat, a siege she missed due to visiting Paris with her protege. She has a formalwear and dancewear business that is very successful.
Catrina Sue carefully molded a single family through generations to be her front, and she still lives with them. Catrina insists that they are directly descended from British nobility. Catrina's ghoul, whom Catrina refers to as 'my mother', is one of the remaining members of this line and is not particularly sane. The ghoul believes herself to truly be Catrina's mother. The house that Catrina lives in is the one she lived in before she went into torpor, which has been kept by this family during the meanwhile.
When she returned from France in 2008, the Domain of Middle Georgia had been firmly established and Catrina rejoined it. She remained in the background, preferring to stay out of Kindred politics, and came to gather simply to visit. She found other souls with similar drives and befriended them. These people were often not Toreador and were also often known to be a little bit odd themselves.
Catrina's emergence onto the modern political scene was tentative, but she has been Primogen of the Toreador clan for some time. This is a bit of a pull on her time, as she graduated high school from a local homeschooling program in 2010 and has been in college ever since, seeking a degree in clothing design and psychology.

She is part of the Lethians, a coterie whose existence is often forgotten by even those in it.
