Personality:
2 paragraphs minimum
For most of her life, Kathryn has been very the very sterotypical "good girl." She gets great grades and has always tries her hardest at everything in order to please her parents. Now that she has lost both of her parents, she still tries to please people and make them proud of her, namely her half-sister Letha, who practically raised her.
She is also very Ravenclaw as she is clever and has a thrist for knowledge.
She is normally pretty quiet when she is by herself and doesn't have a whole lot of friends, but this doesn't bother her. She is just fine being by herself because this is when she can get the most studying done. The friends that she does have often don't share the same goals as her but they maintain a close bond because she is a good listener and can usually offer helpful suggestions to her friends. She doesn't usually tag along when her friends plan an outing where rules will be broken. They make fun of her for it, but she does as she is told. She has a very strong opinion in her mind of right and wrong.
She isn't incredible trusting of people unless she has been friends with her a while. Only a few people know about her past and parents and she likes to keep it this way so people don't become judgemental about her. She tries to be better than everyone else but she doesn't brag or talk much about her accomplishments.
Her dream is to be a "Magic Psychologist" or something to similar to that where she develops magic spells/cures specializing with the brain. Her inspiration for this is her own brother whom she wishes to someday cure of his multiple personality disorder.

History and Details: 2 paragraphs minimum
Kathryn was born just minutes before her twin brother Angelo. They were born in Athens, Greece. Angelo and Kathryn have been very close ever since they were born. They were best friends and did most everything together. She never really had the chance to grow close to either her mother or father because her father was always at work and her mother died at young age. She always knew something was fishy because whenever she would talk about her mother in front of her father, he would get angry. And whenever she talked about her to Angelo, he would all of a sudden get really quiet and would go to another place in his mind, just staring into space and not answering. So during her childhood, she became really attached to her half-sister, Letha, from her father's previous marriage. Letha was very protective of Kathryn and taught her a lot about magic as Kathryn was always asking questions, hardly being able to keep still when she thought about going to wizard school.
The next phase of Kathryn's life is where things became more complicated. After the death of her mother, Kathryn's father moved their family to London. Letha came with them because there was no one to watch the two 9 year old twins during the day while their father was at work. Kathryn never stopped asking questions and Letha had no problem with giving her a head start in her wizarding education. But things started to become weird with Angelo. The avoidance of the topic of their mother became the least of Kathryn's worries. One day, quite suddenly, he started hitting on her and was calling himself Ares. At first she thought he was just playing a game with her as they always did. But "Ares" was going too far and she knew that this was no game and started to wonder whether or not this was her brother that she had known and loved all these years. Ares wouldn't stop so she slapped him and started crying. This snapped him out of it and he began to ask her what was wrong. Kathryn was confused and distraught and didn't know how to handle this, so she told Letha about it. She made up with Angelo but always had suspicions in the back of her head. She never knew when or if he might change again into that horrible person, but continued being Angelo's best friend and twin sister. But it only got worse. Angelo would randomly stop talking and then when he snapped out of it, he was a different person. Kathryn was scared and didn't understand what was happening, so she told Letha about it again and Letha took him to a therapist. They learned that Angelo had Multiple Personality Disorder. Kathryn was both angered and mystified by this diagnosis. It amazed her that more than one person could be and one body, but she hated that it was happening to her brother. This was her best friend. How could someone just take over and make him a different person? She began to learn more and more about Angelo's personalities as they would take over while they were together. Kathryn would always cover for Angelo if they were with friends so that no one had to know about her brother's disease. If they were alone when Angelo would switch identities, she would ask them questions to learn more. When Angelo regained control, she would act like he never left.
At age 11, nothing had made Kathryn so excited in her life as that owl that she received telling her that she would go to Hogwarts and become a witch! She and Angelo both attended Hogwarts that fall and were sorted into Ravenclaw together. Angelo's multiple personalities still acted up and she felt as though she had to follow him around everywhere and cover for him when he lost control. She grew frustrated with this because she did not want to babysit her brother forever and wanted to have her own life. And so the twins began to grow apart. Kathryn never stopped loving her brother and would at times keep an eye on him or come talk to him when she heard stories relating to him, but the two had their own lives now and lost the friendship they once had. In school, Kathryn performed exceedingly well as she had already been taught a lot of what she was learning from Letha. So in order to quench her thirst of knowledge, she would often visit the library or read the textbooks of her older friends. Kathryn loved school and would stay in Hogwarts all year if she could, just reading until she passed out. Her life at Hogwarts continued in this way, the distant between her and her brother growing greater with each passing year.
Then, when Kathryn was 13 at home for the summer, she heard noises coming from upstairs. Letha told her not to go, but she thought she heard Angelo screaming and had to help him. She opened the door was froze in place. Angelo/Ares told her to leave, but she would not, and a her face changed from surprise to thoughtful, intent on what to do next. Suddenly, her father shouted a curse, THE curse, and Kathryn, being quick on her feet muttered the countercurse that would save her from certain doom. Her father put Angelo to sleep and came downstairs. Letha asked him about the kids and he said that they wouldn't have to worry about Kathryn anymore. Letha said she was going to the market to get some food. The second she left, she apparated into the room with Kathryn and Angelo lying unconcious. Angelo was alive, but it appeared as though Kathryn was dead. Letha quickly apparated with Kathryn to one of her friend's houses in France. She left her there and returned to the house and began to plan. She had known of her father's terrible deeds with Letha's mother, but he was her father and she had no choice but to believe that he had changed. But it was obvious to her now that he was no different. Once, Ares woke up, together they plotted a way to put their father away for good. And so their father was sent to Azkaban, but not right away as he fled the country and was not found for about a year. Meanwhile, Letha's friend in France owled Letha and told her that Kathryn was not dead. Letha could not contained her happiness and immediately apparated back to her friend's house in France. Letha knew that Kathryn could not return for her father was still at large and would not like it if Kathryn were still alive and able to testify against him. So, conveniently, Letha's friend was actually now a teacher at the Beauxbaton Academy of Magic and secured her a place in their school. Kathryn understood that this had to happen and that she could not contact her brother for fear that their father could make him tell about Kathryn under the Imperious Curse.
Kathryn was only at Beauxbaton for two years, but in this time she made a couple of good friends and had a lot of time to think. She studied harder than ever because she never knew when just one more thing that she knew would save her life like it had back in London. Once her father was captured, she it was time to go back to Hogwarts and see her brother and old friends once more and tell them that she was alive.

Role-playing Sample:
Kathryn woke up, feeling the same as most days - prepared. She had already planned out her schedule for today: Study some new spells, Send an owl to Letha, meet a couple of friends for dinner, and then whatever time she had left at the end of the day would be used on reviewing the spells she learned in the morning. She couldn't afford to be behind when she would go back to Hogwarts.
Oh, Hogwarts. How deeply she yearned to return to her normal life. There was nothing wrong with France, but it just wasn't the same. Kathryn wanted to be home with her brother and Letha. Everyday she thought about Angelo and how she hopes that he is doing ok after what that devil of a father they had did to him. She found herself tearing up a bit, but simply blinked them back and refocused her attention to the task at hand. She would return, and everything would return to normal; she just had to wait until Letha and Angelo had dealt with her father.
Kathryn loved her father but they drifted when Kathryn became older and did not need him to hold her hand when crossing the street or make sure she ate all of her vegetables. She had her suspicions about what was going on in her father's life, but she was not interested in knowing for certain. Probably one of the only things she did not want to know. His problems were not hers, but little did she know just how deep they ran. She hated herself for not seeing the signs earlier and figuring it out and she knew that she would never let anything else like this happen ever again.
After she ate dinner, she sent an owl to Letha about life at Beauxbaton. She told Letha about the teachers, the students, the subjects, and everything in between. Letha was definitely someone that Kathryn trusted and told everything to, even though at times it seemed like Letha wasn't sharing everything. Angel was naturally very curious, but she respected Letha's privacy. Angel did not feel bad because she was not replacing her mom. Kathryn never really got to know her mom, but she knew that her mother loved her from the stories that Letha told her. They were mostly funny stories about how frazzled her mom was when Letha finally came to rescue the Muggle mother from her two uncontrollably magical kids. Angel wished she could remember, but at least she and the stories. Those would have to be enough for now to get her through until she could finally come back.
