Character Information
Name: Catherine Harcourt
Canon Origin/Series: Temeraire Series
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Personality:
She can be shy and somewhat awkward because of how young she is compared to the other people that she is currently around, though if someone actually did make a slight about her for any reason, she wouldn't mind giving others a piece of her mind, defending her position, and standing her ground. She also stands her ground when she's being harassed by someone, and will take steps to get her message through to the offending party. Once, when she was sixteen at a classical music concert, a slightly older man was making unwanted remarks and advances toward her. She, being the lady that she was [and since she's quite unused to wearing dresses, and had trouble arranging it when she sat down], only asked for a pot of hot coffee from one of the waiters at hand, and poured it all over his lap. That shut the man up, and forced him to leave.
She can be very nice toward most people, being quite amicable enough to most, though she can be cautious at times. Most of the time, she has a rather calm disposition, though that's quickly changed when someone she knows is near, and she has a kind smile on her face, ready to engage in some sort of talk, though it could most definitely turn into sports talk.
When it comes to that which she loves, which is flying, she really shows a lot of her true colors. She can be strong and forceful if need be when she finds herself in a tight spot while in a game. She is pretty much a team player, and knows how to deal with all the members of the team, knowing that if she's got their backs, they will definitely have hers, which is basically the definition of a great team. She is not one to quit all too easily, even if she's personally injured, she would still go on to fly, and play, showing off her grit.
To the people that she has come to know, she can come to care about them a great deal, even if she doesn't much show it outwardly, unless they somehow become injured in one way or another, in which case, she will nearly break down, get into a dark depression for not having been able to save them from said injury, and stay beside them, sitting next to their bed if necessary, as long as the person knows that she'll be there for them, no matter what.
She also has a sense of adventure, being somewhat of an outdoorsy type of person, going along with her father and friends over toward other exotic countries, walking into the wilderness, taking photos, looking for those rare animals, and just enjoying the fact that she's in a place that most other people haven't even dared step foot in. Of the several places that she's gone, she's gone to the China's interior, as well as South Africa, to name a few.
Counselor - Catherine Harcourt 2/2
Catherine is pretty much one of the youngest captains in the whole Professional Quodpot Federation. Of course, that was decided after the captain of Denver Skygliders decided to retire from the federation after playing for twelve straight seasons. She was one of the youngest to be drafted into the federation ever since its inception, but she had proved her worth in her first season fresh out of school, with a net 15% higher scoring average than most of her colleagues, and all of that without the Quod ever exploding in her face. A pretty nice, neat record for the season.
Several weren't quite happy with her 'promotion' into being a Captain for the new incoming season, but others were genuinely happy for her to do so. Some are just plain worried that a new player to the pro league like her won't have enough experience in order to effectively lead the team, while other still just dislike the fact since she's a female leading a more-dominantly male team. Those that are excited about the fact that there will be a fresh new face on as the leader of this Western-conference winning team, plus the chance to see a female at the lead, one of the few among the many different teams.
Now, her manager said that since she was to be a household name among Quodpot fans in America, she should do something that should be seen as giving back to the community, or even be a part of something that would make her seem to be rather charitable by giving up not only some money, but more importantly, her time and efforts.
Which is why she naturally chose to do something in which she knew she could handle - being a camp counselor for a prestigious wizarding camp, and be none other than the Quodpot instructor.
She just hopes that she can, in fact, do it all without stressing herself out.
One roleplay sample:
"So, the camp deal - you're really, honestly going to go through with it?"
Catherine nodded as she replied to her manager, Jane, "What's so bad about going through with it? You yourself told me that doing something for the wizarding community, or giving some of my time would be best. At least in this way, I can at least show the kids something fun, and something that I know.
Jane shrugged, "I thought you could do a one-time deal, doing a canned food drive for the needy, or even something with more exposure than some dinky little camp."
Catherine raised a brow, "It's only one of the best known camps in the United States. I even heard that these British kids were supposed to come over this year as well, as a sort of cultural exchange thing, or something? If you get the people from the newspapers, you can probably tell 'em that I'm teaching foreign kids the joys of Quodpot."
She didn't really care about what sort of spin that Jane was going to put on this, but she knew that she was going to have some fun while she was out there. It had been a while since she'd been able to feel like a kid again, and at least in this way, she could go ahead and do so. She'd just be in a position of authority.
"Well, that does sound like a good way to put a spin on things..."
"Right? So just set things up like that, and you let me do what I'm supposed to do at the camp, and we're all set. It's only going to be for a month - what can go wrong?"
Accepted!
