~ she's in l o v e
catherine ravenclaw is like everyone else is that that everyone else has issues, too.
she's not like everyone else in the ways those issues present themselves-- with lycanthropy, a bisexual awakening, pressures from being the descendent of ravenclaw herself.
oh, and not-so known fact she's werewolf.
~ she's in love and begs fate n o t t o b e
expectations weigh her down like stones and insecurity drags her confidence through the dirt. people expect so much because of her last name and tell her "who is she to deny them"? (with the mindset of snobs surrounding her, with her mother more controlling than not, is it not natural that she holds herself as low as she does?)
she's smart because she has to be-- she's intelligent because she's forced herself to be and giving in to societal pressure is second nature. she does not trust potential friends because they're not likely to like her for her. she does have friends, though, made all in a time where she wore her heart on her sleeve and did not cry over botched essays. the adopted son of "deamus," and any of the many luna lovegood's adopted children.
and, her bestest friend, someone close (someone that catherine's mind argues could be closer), rose weasley.
~ fate, she learns, does not accept constructive criticism
things are fine (not fine-- manageable, never fine but close enough) until things are not.
the festival of the moon has arrived-- an occurance once every hundred years in which the moon stays full for a full month... which is never ideal for a werewolf.
the festival of the moon has arrived and catherine? catherine is not prepared for the consequences.
