NAME. Katrine Ariel Delacroix but Kate is fine
AGE. Twenty-three
GOOD OR EVIL? Good
SPECIES. Witch
POWERS. Telekinesis: The ability to move objects, both animate and inanimate with her mind. It was her first power to develop and required gestures and hand movements- she's managed to hone her skills as she's become older so now she only needs to focus her gaze.
Electrokinesis The ability to channel and manipulate electrical energy. Kate has less control over this power and is often reluctant to use it as it's volatile and particularly destructive (not to mention energy draining), not to mention she has some unpleasant teenage anecdotes associated with it.
Basic wiccan skills Spell-casting, potion-making (although it's not exactly her favourite thing to do in the world), scrying etc.
OCCUPATION. Part-time interpreter/translator, part-time musician.
POSITIVE TRAITS. Independent, witty, tough (but with a squishy soft centre), loyal, talented.
NEGATIVE TRAITS. Stubborn, wilful , secretive, blunt (can be a little insensitive) impatient
GOALS. To travel around the world, to be able to live off of her singing-songwriting as her full-time 'job', to be able to completely control her powers.
FEARS. Her secret being exposed to the world, losing the family she has left- mainly her brother.
HISTORY.
Katrine was born to a French father and an American mother in the city of love itself, (yes, how terrible cliché) Paris. Her mother was enrolled in culinary school there when she met her Clement Delacroix, your typical dashing Frenchman. He was also from a long line of witches dating back to the 12th century and Alice, Katrine's mother, was so innocently human. He eventually had to reveal to his beloved about his family- an incident involving setting a wedding dress accidently on fire demanded some serious explanations on Clement's part. They moved to Alice's 'hometown' of San Francisco after Katrine's older brother, Matthieu, was born. Kate came into the world a few years later and for a long time, they were happy.
But alas, such things don't last forever- a bitter, hard truth that the Delacroix family have realised over generations. They were never lucky in love, even though Clement thought he had escaped this unspoken curse. A demon with an old grudge against Kate's father attacked their home on what would have been a balmy summer evening in July 1999. Kate was nine years old, her brother Matthieu was eleven when their mother died trying to protect them. They were lucky to be spared because their uncle dropped by just in time and fought the demon into retreat, only for him to be hunted down later by the entire Delacroix family. But Kate's father never recovered from Alice's death, he became a different man- a broken man who was almost unrecognizable to his children. They were sent to boarding school in Connecticut, whilst he went back to France. It was only when his sister, Kate's aunt, intervened when Kate's powers began to spiral out of control that the family became involved in their lives once more.
Kate had developed her first power when she was around four years old, moving her toys around the room and throwing her oatmeal into the sink. She was fairly proficient at it by the time she was around ten or eleven and was smart enough to know that flaunting it around was not a good idea. Boarding school wasn't a terrible experience for her, she was never homesick because well- there was nothing to be homesick for. For a long time, she repressed any feeling she had about her mother's death- it had hardened her beyond her years. However when she was fourteen, a particularly nasty comment by a girl in her class, let all the emotions loose. She unwittingly caused a mini storm which in turn caused a blackout for the school and the surrounding buildings. Her power was tied to her emotions and it has taken her years to untangle them from each other- even now her fingertips will crackle if you ever manage to get under her skin.
She enrolled to study modern languages at UC Berkeley, being a talented linguist from an early age. However Kate's real passion lies not with learning different languages but with making music that is inspired from languages from around the world. She loves to sing and play guitar, as petty as it may sound to some, it is what really makes her feel free. She becomes a different person when she performs. Gone is the tough, sarchy little firecracker and the layers begin to unfold to reveal someone who is more emotionally entangled than she may first appear. Kate is also pragmatic however, and knew she could never make a living from her music- she moved back to her hometown (her father had left the house there) and enrolled in a translation and interpretation course and now does freelance work for companies and also the state. The death of the Charmed Ones has not affected her life seriously...well at least not yet anyway, she's always been very careful to be discreet and low-key. She's unknown to the local witching community and Kate would prefer it to remain that way.
