The Mask!
Character Name: Katrina Elizabeth Wilder
Species: Vampire
Group: Gold eyed vampire
Gender: Female
Age: Unknown but she appears to be in her twenties.
Diet: Vegetarian of course.
Appearance:
Kate is gorgeous as are the rest of the vampires and she takes pride in this fact. She wasn't ugly by any means as a human but she loves to flaunt her ethereal beauty. She and her sisters take pride in being a part of the succubus myths. She has a lighter beauty than any of her sisters though and she doesn't stand out as much as they do.
Her golden eyes are almost the same shade as her hair. her eyes used to be a deep emerald green that she was quite proud of. Her skin is pale and cold to the touch as with all other vampires though it used to be always tan. Her bright eyes stand out in contrast to her almost white skin. All of her features are light and feminine and she doesn't stand out in a crowd most of the time.
She stands at about 5'3". She's almost always wearing heels to make up for the lack of real height though. Her height makes her seem younger than she is. She's not ashamed of her height and tries to make the best of it. She dresses to accentuate her best features always and she tries to dress in ways that won't make her stand out.
Personality: Kate can be very cynical and pessimistic. She hates hope because it only hurts that much more when something doesn't work out the way it should. Kate is definitely the cynic among her sisters. She hides all of her emotions well and masks any sadness she may feel. She learned that emotions were a weakness and she couldn't afford to show them if she was going to survive in the world. She only lets her guard down around her "family" or when something extremely traumatic happens.
She's stubborn and believes that things should happen when she wants them to happen. She isn't afraid to push people to do things even if it's faster than they're ready for. She'll do anything, no matter what the consequences, to get her way most of the time. She only does it when absolutely necessary though. She will stand up for her family and friends no matter what. Her loyalty is unwavering. She's willing to die for her family because they're really all she has left anymore.
She was left emotionally scarred after her "mother's" death and that's the reason she hides her feelings. She is a stickler for the law though and will turn on you if you're not her family. Her "mother's" death instilled a real fear of the law in her. She and her sisters abide strictly by the laws and don't even think about breaking them because of their terror that they'll be burned the same way she was.
History:
Kate Elizabeth Wilder was born on January 5, in 1903. Her parents were just trying to make their way in life. They had just gotten married five months when they found out that they were expecting a child. They were considered extremely young to be married and certainly far too young to have a child. Both were barely in their twenties and barely had their lives together and now they found themselves responsible for the life of another. They didn't know how they were going to do it but they were determined to try.
Kate was given the utmost love but her parents struggled to keep above debt. They managed though and Kate was raised in a very loving environment. She did what was expected of her and coasted by in life. She did nothing above what was expected though everyone that knew her knew that she could do so much better. She had no reason to try. Women were objects and not people. She thought that was all she could be until she reached the age of twenty-three.
At twenty-three, Kate saw the flappers and saw the revolution coming for women. Women were doing things that weren't normal and she was all too happy to participate in this movement. She began going out and to the bars and this is where she met the woman who would change her. She met a woman who was a part of the revolution, though not quite to the extreme Kate was. They began talking and met up frequently. Kate never questioned why the woman only met up with her in the evenings. She just assumed that the woman had a controlling husband or something of the sort. Soon enough, Kate was invited over and one thing led to another and Kate was going through the excruciating burning pain of becoming a vampire. She found out soon after her awakening that she had a special power. Kate could run an electric current through her palms.
Since becoming a vampire, Kate joined her family. Her mother, Irina, and Tanya. Irina and Tanya instantly became the sisters Kate never had and they all moved to Alaska soon after Kate was transformed. Denali, Alaska was covered by clouds always so the sun never shined on the tiny city. It was the safest place they could think of. They only fed on animals so being found out wasn't too much of a problem for the family. They had learned the vegetarian lifestyle from the Cullens, whom they met in passing while they were still nomadic. They quickly became family to each other since both covens were unique among all others.
It wasn't long, however, before an immortal child was found to have been created by her mother. Her mother was burned to death with that child in her arms and the sister all gained a very healthy respect for the law. The sisters continued to live in Denali however and still visited the Cullens from time to time. Kate worked with her power until she was able to radiate the current across her entire skin. She continues to live with her sisters and moves jobs every five years or so to avoid being detected as a vampire.

Family was something Katie never lacked. She had three families. She had her own, Alicia's, and Angelina's. The only problem was....Katie felt completely alone. Not an entire year after Katie had left Hogwarts, her mother committed suicide. No one could make Katie feel better and she never told anyone, but, she felt it was her fault. She felt she had disappointed her mother and pushed her mother to it by telling her that she wanted to be a reporter and not work for the ministry as a puppet. She had yelled at her mom and left the home the night her mother committed suicide. Everyone told Katie it wasn't anyone's fault but that didn't stop Katie from feeling like it was her fault that her mother had committed the act she had. It was the one of two true secrets that Katie kept to herself to avoid hurting others. It just wasn't in Katie's nature to hurt anyone and her father would feel horrible if he knew how Katie felt because she had comforted him when he blamed himself and he had no idea Katie blamed herself.
Katie had taken a job at the Daily Prophet almost a year after the event and had rented out a small flat not far from her office. She was always in her office though because she buried herself in her work to avoid falling in love but that hadn't worked out as well as Katie had planned. She had been asked to interview Harry Potter since she was a Gryffindor alumni and also played Quidditch with him all but one of her years at Hogwarts. She had grown moderately close to him and the people at the Prophet knew that. They had sent her to interview him about what had gone on in the past year and his feelings about how the wizarding world was going to get past the traumas it had suffered. Katie had ended up getting more than she bargained though. She had talked to him after their interview and they had a romance that appeared in tabloids and they got engaged soon after. It wasn't fast to Katie because, let's face it, a chaser never thinks anything is fast enough.
Katie had been obsessing over the wedding for almost a full month before she finally realized that she had other things to worry about. Her work was not going so well so she had to start thinking about work or risk losing her job in quite an embarrassing way. She had recently gotten back into her work and was working harder than she ever had before. She dived into work to try and convince herself that she and Harry weren't having problems but she knew they were. She knew they were having doubts on both parts but she didn't care. She also knew she loved Harry and love conquers everything doesn't it? Katie Bell sure as hell hoped so or else she was in some for some rough times ahead but she was sure that they were going to make it. She had dated Fred Weasley and so many other guys but none of them had ever made her feel the way that Harry could. He made her feel like she was the only woman he wanted and that made her feel beautiful.
"Katiebear....Are you sure he's the one?"
If she had a dime for every time she heard that, Katie would be a millionaire. Every single member of her family had asked her that exact question and her father had just called to ask that question for about the millionth time. She understood he only wanted her to be happy but it was getting old. She wouldn't have been with him if she didn't think Harry was the one for her. She was happy. She'd never been happier at any time in her life and that was saying something. Her father was coming up to visit her and to meet Harry for the first time tomorrow. He had to move his trip up a day and shorten it to a two day stay due to his poor health. He needed to come see Katie before it became impossible but he also needed to get home fast. She was saddened but worse had happened. She was just grateful that he was coming to see her and to give Harry a chance in the first place.
Katie had recently gotten sick. Yes, Katie Bell had gotten sick. She had been sent home yesterday only to stop at a muggle pet shop and buy a chocolate lab she had affectionately dubbed Lucky. She instantly loved him and had already spent a hundred dollars on him in a lovely collar, a doggie bed, and more toys than any one dog could ever hope to play with in their entire life time. She was spoiling Lucky to keep busy. When you're sick you're supposed to lay down, but not Katie. She needed something to do and she had to keep her hands busy. This was the only way so she did everything she possibly could with Lucky before she ran out of games to play and ways to spoil him so she just had to lay in bed and sneeze her guts out while writing letters to Alicia, Angelina, and her father about how great it was to have someone else around her house besides herself for once. She had slipped on jeans that she thought she'd never wear again before the walk and a tank top she hadn't worn ever. Jeans with holes in the knees and her old red tank top from her Hogwarts years. So old!
Katie had felt better when she had gotten up this morning and had gone out for a nice walk with her puppy. She planned to owl Harry and see where he was. She wanted to visit him because she hadn't seen him in a while and she was excited to finally have time to spend time with him. She had walked all around her neighborhood and about a block away just to have something to do. She still couldn't believe that they had sent their star reporter home sick yesterday despite all her complaints and the very large scene she had made about being sent home. She was going to whack someone in the head when she felt she was well enough to go back to work. Preferably someone that was above her in title just to vent her anger. Katie had stopped to smoke a cigarette so she wouldn't have to smoke when she went to visit Harry. She knew he hated her habit but it was too hard to quit.
Katie had decided eventually that she was just going to give Harry a surprise visit. She knew where he was. It was where he always seemed to be recently. He was fixing up the spare room that Katie had nicknamed the nursery when she thought she was pregnant. She still wasn't completely certain that she wasn't but she was pretty sure she wasn't. She grabbed Lucky and quickly apparated out of her flat about a block from Harry's house near her aunt's. She slowly put Lucky down and walked to Harry's parents' old house. She looked at it from afar and smiled. This was where Harry wanted she and him to live. She was quite excited about it as she slowly walked up to the front door and knocked. She sighed nervously and hoped she didn't surprise Harry too much and she hoped that he didn't mind that she was here.
