SUMMARY. ( will be expanded with a proper biography )
eldest daughter of the shah family, privately tutored from an early age, overseen by a governess, and made to be the best. to know catherine is to know that she's always been a volatile girl. despite being raised by kiaan shah, an overly ambitious man in whose household money and power triumphed over love, catherine developed a rebellious streak, one that would follow her well into adulthood. she was or rather is a member of the unofficial triumvirate, consisting of asriel halifax and her husband, marquis york, a friendship that has shaped a good portion of her life. the delicacy of the strings that connect them, nearly intangible, catherine knows, would be impossible to explain to others, which is why she never speaks of them in the first place. she was the first shah to be married, at the behest and insistence of her parents, and became a paragon for her sisters. her marriage, like a good portion of her private life, is shrouded in mystery, which is how she desires it to be.
in truth, when you lift the dazzling veil, catherine can be overly emotional, stubborn, gluttonous and decadent, and is a woman that was made for scandals. she's an excellent equestrian, and rather prefers the solitude that comes with this hobby, but she's also a skilled pianist and an avid reader. she often attempts to fill her days with as many beautiful things as she can, like a true patron of the arts. she's also very high-maintenance and only ever bathes in milk. if you can smell the mixture of roses and bergamot in the air with a subtle whiff of creaminess, you'll just know that catherine's around.
