At first glance, there is little mystery to a woman like Katarina Olsson. She was easy to assess; a superficial, Swedish beauty whoâs wealth made her both fundamentally lazy yet unbearably charming. A classic âpretty little rich girlâ that was irritating at worse, but generally harmless. But underneath her porcelain skin and shallow demeanor is a shapeshifter unlike any other. A pretty face with hundreds and thousands at her disposal, sheâs likable enough to maintain rapport with her targets yet forgettable enough to remain unscathed when she adapted a new persona.
As a shapeshifter, Katarina is able to reproduce an exact physical replica of any human or mutant whom sheâs come to contact with. In her early years, Katarina was limited to her parents and close affiliations due to familiarity. Over time, she has mastered her skill to be able to asses physical criteria from pictures and videos and adapt it skillfully. Beyond physical appearance, her vocal chords and identifiable biological characteristics (DNA, blood type, known medical conditions, etc) can be adapted to whomever she is replicating. This comes with drawbacks; however, depending on the extent of information Katarina has about who sheâs replicating. Ideally, a full dossier including updated medical information would make for an accurate portrayal of another person. However, Katarina often has to reduce herself to a physical replica at minimum.
The Olssonâs were to the Sweden what Fordâs or Vanderbiltâs were to America; turn-of-the-century pioneers whoâs legacy echoed through the 20th century. Doctor Matthias Olsson birthed advanced medical treatments, focused on the treatment and rehabilitation of soldiers on the front. At the beginning, the Olssonâs legacy drew a mediocre flame; enough to earn meager money and mild appraisal as âOlsson Pharmaceuticals.â But a unique proposition came from a visiting physician from the United States of America: The Company. With little to lose, Doctor Matthias Olsson ventured to America in pursuit of a new life goal; using the potency of mutant genetics to pave the way to medical discovery.
At the beginning, Doctor Olsson approached organic mutants clinically. Using his advanced degrees and wealth of experience, he ignited and elevated their abilities â all while using the research to brainstorm new forms of healthcare for the human populous. For years, he easily turned a blind eye to the pain and suffering mutants underwent for the greater good of âscience.â But Cupidâs fickle arrow struck the doctor when a young woman, Valentina Baldwin, was brought into The Company for experimentation for her shapeshifting abilities. With her, the doctor was tender in his experimentation. Her words of resistance against the worldâs view of mutants changed something in the logical doctor. Perhaps it was love, or impending guilt⌠But he made a change for the better. Utilizing his influence over The Company as its leading physicians, he helped pave the way for improved conditions and treatment for mutants.
What was born of his love was more than a change in The Companyâs culture, but a beautiful baby girl â Katarina Olsson. The daughter of a human and a mutant, Katarina was born on May 30th, 1990 within the walls of The Company. Thought of as a âlove childâ and a symbol of changing perspectives on mutants alike, the young Swedish girl was the apple of human and mutant eyes alike within the facility. Many would come to believe this as a happy story, with her mother and father changing the way of a major organization â but not all shared Doctor Olssonâs progressive stance on mutants. Senior leaders of The Company were wary of Doctor Olssonâs bold new approach to mutants. He spoke of equality, fairness, and freedom of choice for mutants. He preached humanity, to what a handful of radical senior leaders believed to be âmonstersâ mimicking humans.
As an act of conservatism, the senior leaders held a coup to separate the invaluable Doctor Olsson from the âleechâ that was his wife and daughter. On the eve of Katarinaâs eight birthday, Valentina was assigned a rogue mission in the South of France with a team of human operatives. Days later, the operatives reported Valentinaâs death in the field, citing violence from rival mutant organizations. The news quickly tore apart the Olssonâs, forcing the grief stricken doctor back to his lab and his daughter to meander in their country home by her lonesome.
The young Katarina, driven by grief and without a woman to call her mother, sought comfort in the spoils of her fatherâs substantial earnings. She relied on her name, wealth, beauty, and intelligence to propel her to success. However, while most Olssonâs dreamed of an Ivy League education or their first Nobel prize â Katarinaâs version of success was sipping mimosas on her friendâs yacht or stealing a kiss from Prince Harry at a royal assembly. Her temperament made her easily bored, quick to frustrate, and prone to recklessness.
As she grew older, her abilities and raw talent became a source of intrigue for Initiative X. Without another shapeshifter in their records, Katarinaâs abilities and lineage proved beneficial. A fantastic resource with all the loyalty to their cause â just waiting to be tapped. At her fatherâs bequest, Katarina departed from a life of reckless abandon for the discipline of Initiative X. Many cited this change of heart as her fatherâs discipline, but beneath her shallow demeanor is a greater purpose â to uncover the truth of her motherâs âdeath.â
i. Katarina has what many enviably call âraw talent.â Beyond her ability to shapeshift into any human being, her fatherâs intelligence. With photographic memory and years of training with The Company, now known as Initiative X, sheâs gifted â but fundamentally lazy. Years spent lazying about yachts and blowing through her trustfund make her unmotivated and quick to discourage.
ii. Laughably enough, Katarina has over 100 literary classics memorized page-for-page; including all major religious books. Although she will sarcastically claim its for the sake of her field agency, sheâs a lover of literature. A product of fond memories with her mother.
iii. At first, Katarina was only seen as Doctor Olssonâs daughter â allowing her the freedom and privilege to depart from The Company. After all, she wasnât an agent â only the daughter of one. But at age seventeen, she was recruited into the program. Putting an end to her tumultuous years, sheâs often slipping in and out of the facilities in different forms to indulge her reckless behavior.
iv. A lover of âexperience,â she dives head first into situations and missions without a second thought. Outside the field, sheâs a firm believer in forming emotional attachments and creating a pseudo-family; a side-effect of her fatherâs disclosure and motherâs death.
v. At first, The Company was more than an organization â it was her family. It brought her mother and father together, and forged a culture of more humane treatment for humans. Even at twenty-seven, she is loyal to Initiative Six and what it stands for⌠But even she cannot deny the discrepancy in her motherâs death and her fatherâs evasiveness. Despite his insistence that it was an accident, she has her doubts. Alas, the wonder child of The Company operates her own mission; to uncover the truth.
