Catherine Bennett is my OC for this little story of mine. Let us see how she fares in a world of things that really do go 'bump' in the night. So you can all get a good idea of what she looks like, here is her description plus some facts and general info on her.

LOOKS
She has above average height: she's 6'2" barefoot.
She has a pear shaped body: her hips are wider than her chest.
She has black hair and hazel eyes. Used to dye her hair but stopped.
She has both ears pierced twice and also has a small nose ring though
she doesn't wear the nose ring except on weekends or off from work/school.
She has a tattoo on her left side of a branch of cherry blossoms but she doesn't really like showing it off. She was drunk when she got it done.

FACTS ABOUT HER
She was born September 13th 1988. She is a Virgo.
She is currently 25 (soon 26) years old and finishing her medical schooling.
Her parents are reasonably wealthy and sent her to the best school.
She attends Harvard. Took 3 years of undergraduate education and is finishing
4 additional years at Harvard Medical School. Only one year left to go.
Had her little run in with the wormhole/physical anomaly that started this story not happened then
she'd have graduated in the top ten of her class with a bachelors and as an MD.

Her mother and father both live in New York so they only see her when she
is on holidays from school. They send her money every month so she can focus on school and not work. Her father is a high profile attorney who gets paid a lot and her
mother is a successful self made businesswoman. She has one older brother, Mark Bennett,
who was attending Columbia University in NY but dropped out after becoming hopelessly
addicted to Oxycontin. He recently moved back in with their parents after
getting kicked out of his apartment and losing his job. He resents Catherine and her success.
She has been interning at Bridgewater State Hospital. She only had one year of interning left.

She did in fact read manga and watch anime when she was in high school and in her first
and second year of university but gradually stopped in favor of focusing on her
classes and grades. Though every now and then her and a few of her old high school
friends who were also fellow anime nerds will get together for a weekend on holidays
or break and watch anime as a way to reminisce their high school years. She has a black
belt in Kyokushin Karate. She took up the class after hearing a girl in her class was beaten
and raped walking back to her dorm from a frat party. The girls room was two doors away from hers.

HER PERSONALITY
She is very gentle and delicate with a deep sense of humane that makes her an excellent caregiver.
She is very loyal, hardworking, and kind. She has an amazing work ethic. She believes in finishing
what you start and to not slack off. She is kind to everyone but has an even softer spot for children
and animals. She likes music, dancing, books, and painting. (though she's not very good at painting)
She is very artistic. She has always favored the arts but knew becoming a doctor was more practical and had better pay. Plus her parents wouldn't pay for art school.
It takes a lot to make her mad but when she does snap she tends to go a little crazy.
Her sore spots are harming children, animals, women, or anyone defenseless. Her nickname in high school was Fury because she once set another students car on fire. No charges were pressed.

FLAWS
She can be too generous, to the point of giving too much or leaving not enough for herself.
She can be overly optimistic. And not know when to give up or to start over.
She has a very twisted sense of humor. Her friends and family say she has a 'black' sense of humor.
She can be very vindictive to the point of cruelty. She thinks people should get what they give.
She has been known to switch from sweet and meek to barbs and sarcasm at the drop of a hat.
Thought to be bipolar though she has never been tested so it remains unknown at the present time.
When she drinks she becomes wild and unpredictable. She once pushed a man down a flight of stairs for calling
her a 'stupid bitch'. She doesn't drink at all anymore. She knows what it does to her and she hates it.
She does have her vices. She can't go a single day without some sort of caffeine in her system, be it coffee, soda, or tea.
