erebus’s presence was necessary at the gala after their sizable donation. it was mostly for appearances ; some had doubts of the mc’s legitimacy , and philanthropy seemed to help their public image. it’s for the pack , she reminded herself when boredom struck. perched at the bar , catarina turned to her left and inquired of the person standing beside her , “ i hadn’t expected such a turnout. what brings you here, anyway ? ” examining their acquaintance’s drink , cat’s nose wrinkled every so slightly. “ and what the hell are you drinking ? ”
“ HEY, ” DOROTHEA CALLS OVER TO THE NEAREST PERSON, eyes rolling in their direction as she leans back against the nearby wall. the jury’s still out on which table was her and her brother’s, otherwise they’d be sitting by now ; these heels were KILLER. thea’s five minutes away from kicking them off and going completely barefoot, but they’re trying to be cool. to blend in. “ any idea when this shit ends ? this party stinks. literally. ” too many vampires. @duskstart
catarina was beginning to wonder how she’d allowed herself to get dragged along to this event. at this point , she was counting down the time until she’d be able to make a smooth getaway. sure , there were drinks here , but it wasn’t as though she lived in a dry home. the drinks weren’t enough to cut through the tension she felt being surrounded by so many different species ; the presence of the witches alone were enough to get her hair standing on end. hearing what she considered to be a familiar voice , catarina turned her attention to the noise. thea wasn’t quite a friend to catarina , but the two had crossed paths a few times , and catarina never had a problem with them. in fact , in that moment , she was happy about their company. “ i was having similar thoughts , actually. who cares when it ends ? i’ll probably leave long before the fireworks start. ”
“ you … you don’t have to sit with me just ‘cause i look lonely , you know ! “ anxiety bleeds blue through her voice , as she picks at her nails , “ i came with someone ! i’m just … i’m just waiting on her because she said she was gonna come back with juice for me ! “ mind not how eyes catch her sister talking to some KEN DOLL , and she feels her heart sink , before she readjusts the fuzzy halo on her head . “ … or not . you can stay , if you want but — but you’re not obligated to ! “ ( @duskstart )

catarina had ended up in her seat by chance ; she hadn’t paid much attention to where she was settling into , only that the area wasn’t particularly crowded. when the young girl’s voice caught her attention , she was taken aback. examining the small distance between their seats , catarina considered her words. she felt pity in that moment , feeling the need to reassure her , “ you don’t appear to be lacking in company . . . it’s just that i am. my fiance ran off , and i could really use some companionship. ” backtracking a bit , she asked , “ who drinks juice at these things , anyway ? ”
“I FORGOT HOW OBNOXIOUS THESE EVENTS CAN BE,” Lilya says, glass of wine to her lips, expression unimpressed and eyes scanning the venue, as if memorizing and studying every single bit of it, guests included. “Do you think someone’s going to make a mess? Some sort of scene?” She can place her bets on which species will fuck things up at some point.
the event had been rather uneventful thus far, though catarina was sure there was trouble somewhere. after all, she could’ve sworn she saw smoke coming from one of the bathrooms earlier. clutching a beer bottle in one hand, catarina offered a shrug. “ i’m certain something will happen , ” she concluded. “ that’s the fun part . . . witnessing it , at least. ” cat intended to have a quiet night , but some drama seemed to be a given nowadays.
“any chance you could help me fix my bowtie?” the young witch asked sheepishly, a blush tinting their pale flesh. without magic, he was absolutely helpless. “i’ll totally owe you one.”
@duskstart
catarina was taking a look around to admire the scenery , silently mocking herself for being the only guest in sight with a beer bottle in hand when her thoughts were interrupted by the younger man. offering a kind smile ( one of pity for his woes ) , catarina responded with a polite , “ of course. ” her hands moved expertly until the bowtie looked presentable , having practiced on her fiance just hours before. “ y'know , they do make clip-ons that do pretty much the same thing. ”

aline and antonio neves originated from sao paulo, brazil. antonio was a corporate communications director with a hefty salary, while aline was a freelance artist. propositioned by his company to move to the united states, the family began preparations for their big move to albuquerque, new mexico. two and a half years later, not long after their arrival, catarina was born four minutes after her twin brother, matheus. the family was well-adjusted and happy, offering a stable environment for the twins to thrive in. the twins grew up comfortably, doted on by their parents, and developed an unmatched bond from an early age. matheus and catarina did everything together throughout their childhood, relying on one another for strength and protection. catarina especially exhibited protective behaviors toward her sibling despite the gender roles, though she struggled with some anger problems from an early age. the anger seemed to correlate with the moon cycle, and catarina had her worst nights when the moon was full in the sky. her anchor was her brother; when they were together, the anger would almost disappear into nothing.
throughout their elementary and middle schooling, matheus and catarina were inseparable and highly sociable; the twins had little to no problems getting along with everyone and performing in school. where cat lacked in her math abilities, matheus excelled and offered her assistance; the roles were reversed when it came to english classes. catarina always showed an interest in art, especially renaissance-style paintings. she spent most of her free time painting and researching art styles and occupations. matheus, on the other hand, was a talented soccer player, taking after his father. while they focused on their passions, they shared homework with one another. catarina’s support system for her aspirations was vast and diverse, filled with both family and loyal friends. high school was no different for the twins, though catarina did spend most of her time with her high school sweetheart, james.
upon graduation, the twins and james stayed in albuquerque for college. matheus landed a soccer scholarship, and catarina chose a major in art with plans to pursue a career as an art conservator. catarina got a job as a bartender with the intention of supporting herself despite her parent’s help with tuition. her experience was one of true happiness and stability, making it easy to focus on her studies. by age twenty, james and catarina were engaged to be married and living together with plans to move to brazil in four years time.
in an effort to celebrate their twenty-first birthdays, catarina and matheus made their way to chicago. walking back to their hotel from the bar, the twins were mugged at knifepoint. despite their attempts at fighting back with their pocketknives, catarina sustained multiple stabs and matheus was fatally wounded. in a fit of rage, catarina was able to take down the mugger with her weapon and gathered her strength to call for help; she miraculously survived with four scars to show for it in her abdomen. the death of her twin brother would send catarina into a lasting depression that would destroy her existing relationship with james.
this incident would also be the catalyst to triggering her werewolf gene. despite her wounds, she felt stronger than ever and found that when the full moon came around, she would shift. confiding in her family about this occurrence, they revealed their knowledge of the same thing happening to past generations of their family, though it seemed no living relative was cursed with this affliction. the shock of this discovery and the death of matheus led catarina to isolate herself from her loved ones; her happy-go-lucky spirit was dead and gone, replaced with feelings of hopelessness and sorrow. as a result, catarina called off her engagement, dropped out of college, and moved away to new york.
the next seven years of her life were somewhat of a haze. every full moon, without fail, she would shift. five days a week, she would work as a bartender and manage to steal a couple drinks throughout the night. catarina gave no one the chance to even get close to her; her only friend was a bottle of booze ( until it would inevitably become as empty as she was ). the alcohol numbed her pain, enabling her to avoid her emotions.
at the age of 28, catarina was close to committing suicide. her life had become unbearable, and she could no longer numb her pain. it had caught up to her. before she got the chance, catarina was exposed to the lotus pack, and not long after, the erebus motorcycle club. her hardened demeanor stayed, a permanent part of her now, but she felt like she had finally found a home, a place where she belonged. joining the club as a prospect, with the support of her pack, cat was finally able to process the changes that had occurred in her life all those years ago. it was at this point that catarina met her now-fiance, as well. catarina put all of her efforts into protecting her new family, and being around other werewolves did wonders for her recovery. five years after joining, catarina was appointed the sgt at arms position in the club. she was tasked with keeping the order, ensuring club rules are not violated, and ensuring the exiting of members was handled well. based in queens, catarina now has a new life, one filled with feelings of belonging and contentment.
