OVERALL PERSONALITY: Aikaterina is a very caring person when it comes down to it, even if she is soft in a roundabout way. She has a kind heart and is very selfless when it comes to matters concerning other people. She wont refuse a chance to help someone, feeling that she should follow in her mothers footsteps and protect those around her. Aikaterina is a very great and confident speaker. When the time comes for her to fight back (in the verbal sense), she is always ready and willing to stand up for what she believes in. She's very outspoken and won't back off until the other person sees her point of view and what she is trying to tell them.

Hotheaded and rather wild at times, Aikaterina has become a major daredevil in the past few months. She seems to make rash, on the spot decisions, but they most always turn out well. She is reckless when it comes to her own life, and would rather throw herself to the vampires than let a fellow magi, or even a human, get hurt. She's been known to pull the most insane stunts to get her point across. Because of this, she can irritated people rather easily, though she really doesn't mind it. She pays no mind to those who despise her unless they have done something to wrong her.

Aikaterina can be rather oblivious when it comes to love. She has never been in love with anyone. She plans to try and keep it that way if she can help it. She doesn't think about being in love, nor does the idea appeal to her at this moment in time. She has a lot on her plate and she would rather deal with that than deal with the drama that comes with having a "mate".

THE HISTORY
----------------------------------------------------------------------

FATHER: Jakob Baltheczar
MOTHER: Melanie Baltheczar
SIBLINGS: N/A
OTHER FAMILY: NAMELESS AUNT (canon character)
OTHER IMPORTANT PEOPLE: Ares le Fay (future mate), Rosalie Makenna (apprentice)
HISTORY: Born the daughter of Jakob and Melanie Baltheczar, Aikaterina found home life to be rather stifling for the latter part of her 25 years. Her mother, a rather celebrated Magi who was based in Las Vegas, had become the ArchMagi in the large city. She had taken the position to negotiate a treaty between the vampires and the magi, which was used to keep the vampires from killing the delectable beings who's blood they longed for more than any other human. Because of her mother's position in the supernatural world, more weight was placed onto Aikaterina's shoulders. She was a girl of 13 and she was already being trained in the basics of her magic. Her mother was harsh and very intense in the training and Aikaterina often found herself to be bedridden for days after overexerting herself and her magic.

This went on for many years, but Aikaterina eventually mastered the basics and began to work more on her specialties. She had a connection to the element of Spirit that even her own mother could not surpass. Aikaterina quickly found out that healing magic came easy to her and she rather enjoyed the idea and ability to heal those who needed it. On top of her healing magic coming easy to her, she also worked on expanding her ability to see into the future. Having let Aikaterina train and study on her own, her mother was rather impressed with her progress and the type of Magi she was shaping up to be. She had become an asset to her coven and Melanie knew not what they would do without the young woman.

Soon after Aikaterina's 25th birthday, Melanie disappeared. There had been increased attacks on the Magi by the vampires, and this fact rattled Aikaterina. Weeks of searching for her mother brought her nothing. That was until she looked into the eyes of her mother and only saw the vampire within her. Aikaterina had been looking all night, following various leads as to where her mother could have been. She hadn't expected to run into her mother on the street, but that's exactly what she did. There was a standoff and Melanie tried to kill Aikaterina, too thirsty for blood to really care that the woman she was attacking was her daughter. Having no choice, and needing to protect herself, Aikaterina killed her mother. Later than night, she explained everything to the coven. It was decided by the coven members themselves that Aikaterina herself would take the place of her mother as the ArchMagi. Her magic was pure and it would be just what they needed to get through these dark times and the treaty with the vampires.

It was mere days after she took control of the Las Vegas coven that she found out about a car crash that had nearly killed a little girl. The girl was said to be a young Magi and her only other option (if not taken by a Magi family) was being put into foster care. Not skipping a single beat, Katie was quick to take the child in, giving her a place to stay and food to eat. Seeing that the girl has a desire to help people, Katie has taken her under her wing and has made the girl her apprentice.
