Physiognomy
A 29 year old Vulpkanin with a somewhat more brawny stature, featuring a distinctly wolf-like muzzle and ears. She measures around 5'9", ears not included.
Her body is covered in a coat of dark grey fur, with a countershade of light grey. It appears somewhat rough or ruffled.
Cathrine's canine ears are pierced with a set of copper rings — two in her right, one in her left.
Her eyes have a coppery colouration and exude a perpetually tired look. She speaks in a deep and coarse, yet distinctly feminine voice and her words often come with an air of melancholy.
"Ugh." — Cathrine
Biography
According to NanoTrasen employee records, Cathrine grew up as the child of a mixed-race couple, either stemming from a previous relationship of her Vulpakanin mother, or potential even being adopted.
She spent most of her childhood growing up in the martian surface colony 'New Tokyo'. Her father, a long standing NanoTrasen employee who had served as a heavy-duty deep space freighter Captain for over a decade, managed to get Cathrine accepted into the NanoTrasen piloting training program.
However, her father passed away during an accident that led to the total loss of the freighter under his command together with all crew and cargo, causing an undisclosed amount of damages. A subsequent investigation quickly concluded and found Cathrine's father at fault and liable for all damages. Cathrine's mother disappeared under mysterious circumstances at the same time. Investigator's speculated that she might have been hired by a hostile corporation, making the loss of the vessel an act of sabotage. These theories remain unsupported by evidence to this day.
Cathrine, now the last living legal relative of the late captain, was quickly evicted from the expensive piloting training program and instead transferred to the deep space station program. There, on the fringes of civilization, she is condemned to work various low-paying jobs in order to one day settle the astronomical debt her father left behind.
