Personality

---

Katrin is typically a very quiet troll. She spends a lot of time in her own head, whether that be imagining some sort of fantastical idea, or hyper-analysing the current situation at hand. She doesn’t tend to verbalise her thoughts much, and finds starting conversations to be awkward and nerve-wracking. She’s terrible at small talk, and even worse at offering any words of encouragement or affection to her peers.

She has a very over-active imagination, and often finds herself caught up in her own fantasies. She likes to picture herself as a ‘protagonist’ type, who has all these zany schemes that work perfectly and everyone will think she’s the best ever. Of course, reality is never that simple, and more often than not her schemes end up failing spectacularly. She enjoys writing as a form of escapism, as fiction is a world where everything goes right for her and the bad guys can be defeated. While she does post her writing online, she’s very sensitive to criticism and is prone to giving up and going on extended hiatuses if people don’t like her work. This attitude also persists into her everyday life, where she’ll easily give up on something forever if it doesn’t work the first time.

She’s quite shy around other trolls, and becomes flustered very easily when around particularly kind or flirtatious people. She becomes panicky when around trolls who are very forward, which can result in her pulling out a knife on them if she feels too overwhelmed. When it comes to her relationships with others, she can be very parasitic and dependent on their kindness. She tends to gravitate towards trolls who pity her in some way, in hope that they’ll do favours for her and give her things for free. She relies heavily on other people to help her, and likes people who’ll take care of her so she doesn’t have to do it herself. However, it’s very rare that she’ll return this kindness, as she doesn’t think she’s capable of doing so. She feels very guilty about it, but rather than trying to fix her own issues she’d rather wallow in her own misery and hope someone will call it out to validate her guilt.

Katrin also hates the idea of burdening other people with her problems, and has a tendency to isolate herself from her friends and quadrants whenever she’s feeling down. She also has no issues lying to others so that they don’t pry into how she’s really feeling. She puts her close relationships on a pedestal, believing that they're too good for her and don’t deserve to have to deal with her issues. This isolation becomes a vicious circle for her, as once an extended amount of time passes she feels guilty for not talking to her friends enough and fears that they’ll be angry at her for disappearing, which only makes her avoid them more. She fully acknowledges that she’s at fault, constantly dwelling on her mistakes and refusing to believe the people she’s hurt are anything but a saint.

Katrin suffers from both depression and anxiety, and has been struggling with a long-time alcohol addiction. She seems to be also gravitating towards more risky and dangerous activities when she doesn’t know what else to do with herself. She would like to ‘get better’, but she doesn’t think she ever could.

Psiionics

---

Katrin initially believed that her psiionics was simply having Enhanced Reflexes, but after being (forcibly) recruited into Ullane's psiionic testing program she is now aware that she actually possesses Chronokinesis. In times of extreme danger, Katrin is able to slow down time in order to react much quicker than what is happening around her. She perceives it as everyone else moving slower while she can still move at a normal pace, but from an outsider's perspective her movements are so quick they cannot be properly discerned. Some may instead believe that she is teleporting.

However, due to her lack of understanding of her psiionics and inexperience using them (as well as her excessive alcohol consumption impairing her abilities), she struggles to use them to their full potential. While she can identify the conditions that are favourable for her psiionics, she cannot control when or how long they are active, as they currently only react on instinct. Excessive use of her psiionics also puts a strain on her mind and body, and she often suffers from headaches if she uses them too much in a short period of time. If she were to hone her psiionics to their full potential she would be able to stop time completely for a few moments, but overusing them at that point could dramatically cut her lifespan.

Backstory

---

Katrin had an average childhood, though she often kept to herself in favour of reading whatever few books she could get her hands on. She enjoyed writing stories as well, and would write about her own self-insert as the main character in her favourite fictional universes. At one point she got into reading comic books, but she found them more difficult to obtain. These two hobbies would persist until her current age. She’s always had big dreams about being rich and successful just like the characters in the series she’d read, but didn’t know how to pursue it.

She started leaving her hive to visit the popular locations to meet new trolls when she was around seven and a half sweeps old. It was here she met her then-matesprit, Gerrel, who she immediately fell head over heels for. She also met Cirrin, the troll who introduced her to the art of thieving and scamming people out of their money, and also became her moirail. With them around, it felt like her dream of becoming rich and successful and loved was finally attainable. She took up pickpocketing, and once she started feeling more daring, began breaking into storefronts and other people’s hives.

This new-found love for stealing quickly took a turn for the worse when one night she broke into a cybernetics store belonging to Kybern, who happened to still be in the store at the time. He attacked her, badly grazing her arm when she narrowly avoided losing it to a bullet, and managed to get her cornered. He briefly attempted to force her into working for him as payback for having the nerve to cross him, but after some time she tried to avoid showing up for shifts, causing him to begin stalking her. He became infatuated by her, and wanted nothing more than to make her his kismesis. Katrin was rightfully terrified, and due to her endeavours to escape from his stalking, he made several attempts on her life. She fell into a depression, and began drinking to try and cope with her anxieties. At this point Katrin also met Maagni and, sensing some mutual animosity between them, pursued a kismesitude with him in order to get Kybern off her back. Their relationship was equally as turbulent due to their inexperience with how the quadrant was meant to function and Maagni’s anger issues, resulting in Katrin suffering serious burns from his psiionics on two separate occasions.

While this ordeal was happening, Katrin was becoming increasingly more distant from her other quadrants. Gerrel was often busy with his work and Katrin didn’t want to bother him, and she lost contact with Cirrin. She started to feel guilty about avoiding them and feared that they’d be angry at her for not telling them about her situation, which only resulted in her isolating herself from them even more. She ended her relationship with Maagni, and while they broke up on good terms, she felt guilty for using him as an attempt to keep Kybern away from her and thus cut contact with him. Time continued to pass, and while she was still dating Gerrel, she began doubting her own feelings for him. After all, it had been a sweep and she still couldn’t pluck up the courage to contact him again. She felt terrible for having these doubts, and fell further into her depression.

Around a sweep later, Katrin began to move on. Kybern was no longer going after her, and seemingly vanished off the face of the planet. She met Izuili, who took her under his wing as a mentor for pickpocketing, and she started operating under the alias of The Red-Eyed Raccoon. She also began working for a fashion designed named Barsho, who like her previous workplace she was forced into the job to repay a debt due to accidentally ruining his boutique’s reputation. Despite the initial hesitation and uneasiness, she felt comfortable working under a boss who didn’t try to kill her. She became closer to her next-door-neighbour Soroll, who she initially only saw when she was exchanging her recycling for food or if she needed medical attention. Things were going great…

… Until Gerrel returned from a sweep-long business trip, looking to make amends for his absence. Katrin thought she’d be able to quietly move on from him like her other relationships, but his return forced her to confront her conflicting feelings head-on. Feeling guilty and ashamed for doubting if she was still in love with him, she couldn’t bring herself to allow him back into her hive and tried to break up with him. This resulted in her getting roped into attending a party by her friends’ employer Viltau, which was really a guise to assist Gerrel in ‘winning her back’ with a grand romantic gesture. Katrin still felt too consumed by guilt over how poorly she treated him earlier, as well as how terrible of a matesprit she has been to him over the sweeps, and broke off their relationship for good. She ran, never to return into his life again.

Katrin spent over a perigee locked up in her own hive, avoiding all calls from friends and barely doing anything but drinking until she'd pass out. It wasn’t until Barsho checked in on her to make sure she hadn’t died that she started leaving her hive again. She’s become far more withdrawn than she used to, and spends more time wandering the streets hoping to get into trouble. While she’s met a few new trolls since then, and after her contract ended with Barsho she picked up a new job as a psiionic test subject and receptionist for the Crown Clinic, she knows she doesn’t deserve to feel good about herself anymore. But, there’s a part of her that still wants to believe she can be ‘better’ again...
