Kateryna is a young half-blood witch, with appearance as such. She has long, dark red-brownish hair (she hates to be referred to as a ginger!), often tied together in a thick braid, delicate facial features, and brown eyes radiating excitement, curiosity, and warmth. She's about average height for her age, and still has the stature of a child. A special distinction would be the white scar in her left hand, that she got from playing around with her mother's wand at the age of 6.

Kateryna has Bulgarian roots from her father, hence the name 'Pendareva', but her mother is English, which is why she's attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Father a wizard, mother a witch, Kate is following in their footsteps. Father a Gryffindor, mother a Ravenclaw - Kate has always been excited to find out, which Hogwarts House she belongs to herself.

To be said about Kate is, that she is in general social as a parrot, but understands to appreciate more private times as well. She had a pretty special childhood, as she was raised on a boat, travelling all around the world. Both her parents are authors - for the magical world, most of the time - and especially her father excels in writing travel novels. Magic has always been a part of Kateryna's everyday life, because even though they often found themselves in muggle-territory, the boat has been their sacred place, where they could be, well, themselves.

At the age of 5, Kateryna showed the first signs, that she'd inherited magical abilities from her parents. Usually, the parents always demanded, that Kate should wear a life belt, when moving around the boat, but this evening she surprised them on deck, and when they were coming about, she got knocked off the boat. Her parents were convinced they should witness their worst nightmare coming to life, but as they rushed to the railing, instead of a panicking, drowning girl, they saw their daughter bouncing off the waves with her characteristic laughter being carried by the wind.
The parents took no chances - Kateryna has been wearing a life belt ever since.

As a consequence of the well-traveled childhood, Kateryna has grown into a young girl with an adventurous mind, a natural curiosity, and the belief, that there's nothing she can't do. She loves to experience new places, and has a hard time resisting an adventure - even if it's against the rules.

Being born by two authors, Kateryna inherited her parents' joy of writing. When she's not around, acting all social and witty, she's often to be found in a quiet place, with her books, quills, and parchment, scribbling away. Attending Hogwarts, she strives towards being kind and open to all, caring a great deal about her school work as well.
