Catherine "Katie" Rider
a.k.a. Katie
Age: 30
Marital Status: single
Occupation: unemployed, by choice
Former Occupations: has worked as veterinary assistant, ranch
hand, physical therapy assistant (human!) (orthopedics), and was most
recently running a large corporate office's operations dept.
Politics: Liberal, but very sensible. Considers common sense to be the best thing a person can have.
Personality: Katie is very outgoing and friendly, if she's
comfortable. When placed in a situation where she's unsure of things, can
be extremely quiet, but is always highly observant of what's going on
around her. Has a knack for getting a quick read on a situation. She has a temper, but tends to internalize things, which leads to a lot of bottling
up. When she finally uncorks about something, look out! Is very kind
though, and always wants to help out in a situation, if needed. Loves to
laugh and have fun, with friends.
Strengths: Courageous, kind, intelligent with a sharp wit.
Frankly honest, but also very good at being discreet.
Weaknesses: Can't keep a secret! Often gets wrapped up in
something and unintentionally can let other important things like
appointments and plans slip. Almost always 15-20 minutes late for
everything.
Combat training: None. Watches a lot of movies. It looks
easy...
Horseback riding: Excellent.
Appearance: Average build and height, dark brown hair with
auburn highlights (shoulder-length), heavy fringe of bangs, brown eyes,
tanned skin from working and playing outdoors so much!
Friends: Always just a small handful of close ones. Doesn't do
well with large groups.
Pets: Has had many. LOVES pets more than people sometimes.
Currently none, because of her transitory situation
Hobbies: Taking care of her animals or someone else's, reading, outdoor activity
Other Information: Katie's mother has recently passed away, and told her of her father at that time. Apparently, he was a Ridenow, and
they had met years ago on Terra, where they had a brief affair. When her
mother learned of her pregnancy, she left Katie's father, because she
didn't want to leave Terra ever, and never wanted to have to endure
custody battles or anything else. Mom was a little unstable at times....
Katie grew up happy and well-educated, but recently has been slightly
bored and lonely - the death of her mom has prompted her to take some time off and re-examine her goals and ideas for the future. Thus, her trip to
Darkover. Her mother left her a small inheritance which along with her
savings, is enabling her to plan on being on the planet for a long stretch of time, with an idea of staying on a more permanent basis, if she likes it. Has always had bad headaches, they used to be terrible, and physicians always chalked it up to stress and anxiety bacause of her somewhat
roller-coaster relationship with her mom, especially when she was a
teen...The usual.
