Basics
Name: Katara Emma Adermoch
Nicknames: Kea (prefers to be called by this)
Age: 18 years of age
Birthday: February 14
Grade: 12th Grade
Power: Hair Manipulation - Katara can manipulate her long purple hair so it can be of some use in a fight. She can strength the actual fibers in her hair to be as strong as brick, and she still works on improving the durability of it. Though her hair can be tough and hard to break easily, scissors are her biggest weakness. No matter how strong her hair is, it will always be cut by the blades of a scissor. She can grow her hair longer and use it as though they were tentacles, but they soon retract back to their original length after an hour or so. If she takes breaks in her uses (about five minutes or so), however, it can go even longer than that. The longer her breaks, the longer her usage. Not only that, but it seems as though because of her hair, she has a sixth sense. They have a mind of their own, raising in suspicion when something doesn't seem right. It helps Katara a lot, actually, as it keeps her on her toes.
Enhanced Strength - She has quite the strength built into her, and is quite the force to be reckoned with. More of her strength is focused in her lower torso, which makes sense since that's where a majority of her height comes from. She has upper strength, of course, but she would rather use her feet in a fight. Without a single kick, she could probably break the femur - the hardest bone to break in a body. When it comes to her arm strength, it's a little less in the strength department, but she can at least pick up park benches with one hand as long as no one is seated on them. Of course, she has to keep exercising or her strength will decrease, as would a normal person. If she overworks her body she will surely have an extreme case of sore muscles - so sore that she may even refuse to get out of bed.
Petrification - You can think of petrification in the form of Medusa turning those who look into her eyes into stone, but Katara’s power isn’t anywhere near that kind of strength. In her case, it’s more like ‘you were frozen stiff by her glaring’. First of all, in order for her to even use this power, she has to stare directly at the person and make eye-to-eye contact with both of her eyes. Thus, to prevent this from happening accidentally, she keeps an eyepatch over her eyes. Even then, she had to maintain this contact with the person, and if she so happens to glance away for a millisecond or blink, then it is instantly broken and the person can move again. She can usually stare at a person for about a couple of minutes before needing to blink, but because she wears an eyepatch, her left eye in sensitive to the light. Because of this power, she has a fear of people staring at her; she just doesn't want to accidentally make them a living stature - even if it isn't for long.
Member Group: Prefect
Canon or not: Not
Appearance: Katara has a height of 6 feet and 1 inch, and it doesn't come from her upper torso. In fact, when she sits down, she actually looks like she should be 5'5. Her legs are long, as you can probably tell by now. These legs are well-built and muscular, as she tends to work out a lot, but they are lean and flexible. She's actually quite agile and quick on her feet, her endurance helping her run longer than average girl. Of course, it isn't much, but it might save her butt when day while she's running away from a crazed maniac.
Katara is known for her long purple hair that reaches to her waist, prickling softly and raising as though they had a mind of their own (which, I guess, is partially true), and her more vibrant purple eyes that match this hair are what make her known for being, well, her. She tends to wear an eyepatch over her left eye, but don't fret, it's actually still there. The only reason is there is to stop two of her powers from constantly happening since she still doesn't have complete control of them - though there's also the bonus of an intimidation factor.
Now, Katara may not be the most attractive of the bunch, but I have to say, she's pretty damn attraction. Honestly, if it wasn't for her quick-tempered and stubborn attitude, she would probably get boys left and right. For a girl of her stature, Katara has quite the bust, and she's not exactly afraid to use it to get what she wants in some ways. As I've mentioned before, Katara has a longer lower torso, but her arms still reach to her butt, which may or may not still be quite long.
Personality
[/i][/b] - She tends to hide this trait from others, but it's very apparent in her day-to-day lifestyle. She's very kind and warm-hearted in a way, and cares for a lot of things in general. If you get to the part where she actually willingly shows you this side of her, then you're on the right track. She generally cares about the world around here, especially those she consider 'children' or 'kids'.
Positive:
* Independent - She's a very independent person. She tends to depend on herself more than anyone with the mentality of 'if you want things done right, you have to do them yourself,' and it usually ends up with a good cause. She usually won't let others boss her around, but will do so if the situation needs it.
* Motherly - Although she doesn't seem like it, Katara is actually a very motherly type of girl. It may be just be some kind-of maternal instinct or something, but she acts like a parent to almost anyone younger than her. She'll be there for them, scold them, care for them, almost anything and everything a normal mother would do.
* Determined - Katara has a very determined mindset, doing what she can possibly can to get what she wants. Of course, there are items that she wouldn't sacrifice for her goals. Instead, she'd tried to find another way to get what she wants - while doing what's right.
* Strong-willed - She can't be swayed easily by other's opinions. She'll do what she thinks is right, even if others tell her there will be risk. Katara feels as though she could muscle through these 'risks'. Of course, she values other people's opinions, but she won't let them change her mind s easily.
* Optimistic - Katara is, if anything, an optimistic person. She tends to look on the bright side of things because she believes it's a lot more easier to do that. She knows her own limits, and she wouldn't dare be more optimistic than she knows can happen. [/ul]
Negative:
* Protective - Katara is very protective - so much, that she is on the urge of being over-protective. She won't let her 'kids' get in trouble, and she'll do her best to protect all her friends from the dangers of the outside world. If someone bullies her friends, you can expect a big whooping from mama bear.
* Hot-headed - Katara is very hot-headed and quick-tempered girl. She'll get mad very easily, part of it because of her bi-polar nature - and she snaps quite easily against others. Sure, she might regret it, but she won't stop it from happening in the first place.
* Arrogant - Katara is actually very arrogant indeed, thinking that she's the the bomb.com. She thinks of herself as high on the skills chart - one of the reasons why she depends on herself more than others. When she was little, she actually had little to no confidence at all, but it's apparent that the girl standing before you now has changed drastically since she first came here.
* Secretive - Katara is a secretive girl, but it's mostly just her doing this to protect others. In par with her protective side, she doesn't want to hurt her dear companions, so she withholds secrets she doesn't deem important enough to tell. What you don't know can't hurt you, right?
* Stubborn - Katara is quite the stubborn girl, not letting others tell her wrong without a fight. This trait is actually one of her strongest traits, and sometimes, she let's it go too far with her stubbornness. It's actually really hard for her to change her opinion - unless you are one of the few to enter her heart completely and has gained every ounce of trust and respect Katara has to give out. [/ul]
Likes:
Dislikes:
Extra: Katara can't wait to meet up with her younger siblings again, and she has a secret hatred of the school for keeping them apart. However, she's a Prefect only to keep the chaos organized in case her siblings are unlucky enough to wound up here. Also, don't tell her I said this, but she has a habit of taking pictures of people she hate and practices spearing them with her hair. Though, to be honest, she wouldn't dare do it in real life for fear of killing someone. That would only occur from self-defense. On that note, Katara really doesn't take fighting as seriously as she could. In her opinion, if she could loose and still survive, might as well raise one's self-esteem, as she doesn't believe she needs it herself. However, if it is a life and death situation, you'll notice how practical she is when the time comes.

History
Family Members/guardians: Mother and Father - Dead
Foster Mother - Dead
Foster Feather - Alive
Three Adopted Siblings - All Alive
History: Katara, all her life, had thought that her biological parents were evil people, leaving her to fend for herself at such an early age. She never had anybody to confide in, and no sustainable parental figure to teach her right from wrong. No one could fill the emptiness she felt without a mother’s heartbeat or a father’s calming voice. She blamed them both for abandoning their poor child to the harsh reality of foster life that it sometimes was. The truth is, it wasn’t their fault she drifted from foster home to foster home – after all, they were dead.
She was just entering her double-digits when she had been fully adopted by a very caring mother and a humorous father. To tell the truth, this family was a special one – it was one in which they worked for the government, taking in ‘rowdy’ kids and raising them before they would shipped off to the island to train. Katara didn’t know this, so she was unknowingly brought up by them like their own child, as she was happy to finally have somewhere to belong.
It was not long after when three more additions were conjoined with their little family. It grew twice the size, from three people to a whopping six. They all came together, all being around the same age, and Katara took it upon herself to be their big sister. Even if they weren’t related by blood, she would keep them safe. She would be like a third parent for them, and she thought them to be lucky since she hadn’t had even one parent to rely on until recently. It took a bit of convincing, but she was finally able to get them to open up, and that’s when things changed.
They were all inseparable, a pact made between the four to stay by each others sides’ until the bitter end.
And stay together they did. They seemed to do everything together and were practically inseperable. When one refused to do something, the whole group of kids rallied together to protest. When one was bullied, the whole gang went together to beat them up - though they never really laid a hand on the bully, as Katara was against violence. It was hard thinking of a day when they weren't connected to the hip.
It was peaceful until 'the incident'. That's how Katara likes to call it these days, as she'd rather not remember it if she could. Her step-mother had been on a work-related trip to the mountains when the whole camp site was caught in an avalanche. There were no survivors, and it was only by a miracle that her father had been too sick to attend the camping trip that day. With her mother killed, everything soon began to change. Her father became distant from the rest of the family, burying himself in his studies. He snapped at the kids a lot more, and Katara then had to take on the role of both the mother and the father.
This changed her greatly. The sweet, outspoken kid she used to be soon became a mask and a mask only. Her self-esteem was shattered, and she had to do all she could to keep herself straight in front of the kids. In the end, it was too much for her. She cracked in front of the eldest of the three, Ashton, and from then on, she always thought of him as her second-in-command. She would always let her true feelings and thoughts out when they were alone together, and then beg him to keep it a secret from the other two. She knew it was selfish of her to ask this, but at the moment, it's what she thought was best for the family.
Soon, she had discovered what her parents' true roles were through sneaking around her father's office. They were all planned to be sent to Ashford, whether they liked it or not. The thought terrified Katara, and she felt it was unfair to do this to all of them so quickly. It had been thought that they would be sent later on, but with the death of their mother, it was apparent that her father wanted them out as quickly as possible. Therefore, in order to protect her siblings for some time until she felt it was safe, she willingly offered herself to go alone. Although it wasn't much of a proposition, she had promised to become a Prefect and obey any command given to her by the government. No arguments, no back-talking, no doubt. One loyal solider is better than four rebellious ones, isn't it?
Thus, she came to the island to become a Prefect. At first she had been reserved from everyone, truly keeping in the shadows of her team.
