- Um... I don't know if you know this, but I really don't like criticism... I mean. I should be fine with it, but I'm really sensitive, so it makes me sad.
- I can't stand it when it's really humid outside, because my hair gets all poofy and I feel all icky

- There's a slight chance that I might be a little... too random and energetic. I mean... it can annoy people a lot.
Quirks
At least 3
- I have this funny catchphrase thingy! It goes, "What's that supposed to mean?" Because well, sometimes I don't know what people mean, heehee.
- Ohmygod. Sometimes, I have these random spurts of just singing or dancing or activity, and I guess that just makes me... me!
- So I'm really easily distracted, like I can be loo--OHMYGOD SQUIRREL. Oops. Well, anyway, yeah.
Attractions
At least 3
- Oh, let's see... I like really cute guys. Strong, perhaps? Yes? I love being carried!

Ohwait. Are we talking about MY attractions? Like. What's cute about ME? Well! - I'm lots of fun to be around! I mean, I've got all this energy and I can be bunches of fun!
- I think I'm cute... At least... people say I'm cute. I mean. Who doesn't like cute people? I like cute people!
- I'm very confident in myself. Yes, I am VERY confident in myself, until people criticize me, but that's a whole other matter.
Overall Personality
Please list at least 5 personality traits and explain how they would be seen in your character
- Energetic. No lie, Cat has an unbelievable amount of energy. People think she has ADHD or Bipolar Disorder, or Anxiety issues, but really, she's just an energetic person! Okay, so maybe there are a couple of problems there, but they don't really changer her too much. She's still herself. However, right after you wake her up in the morning, well... it's like trying to steal a bone from a pitbull. After the first few minutes or so of anger, grogginess and crankiness, Cat is ready to tackle the day! And she lasts. The. Whole. Day. Until she crashes later at night. She's extremely talkative, and she loves getting people involved. She's not really obsessed with hearing her own voice, she's just got a lot to say and a lot on her mind. Cat is always really upbeat and willing to lend a helping hand. Every now and then, she'll have her little down days, but everything turns out in the end.
- Adorable. Cat is absolutely adorable! She always has a happy grin on her face, or is cracking a joke or something. She loves to play and if she wasn't so big, people would mistake her for a little kid. Cat loves having fun, because well... who doesn't like to have fun? However, she's also innocent and naive. Often times, people have to spell out things before Cat understands. She also dresses in a cutesy fashion. She loves girly things, and is often times considered the "cute kid" or the "little girl" of the group.
- Friendly. Cat hates it when people feel sad or left out, so she's always really welcoming and open to people. she's always got something sweet to say to somebody, whether it be somebody's outfit, hair, eyes, anything. She loves meeting new people and is eager to become friends with them. Cat's the type of person who would choose sitting at the empty table in the corner with the new kid over eating with her friends. She's a tad gullible, and sometimes she worries that people will take advantage of her, but she still tries her best to be nice to everybody. Cat isn't one who judges people based on their looks, but how they act. "WHAT ABOUT BOY--" Well, boys are a different matter. If you know what I mean. But even if she doesn't like someone like that, then she'll still be nice. She'll introduce herself and try to welcome him or her as best she can.
- Sensitive. Although she's very extreme and friendly, Cat can get rather emotional. She's quick to feel hurt and often overreacts (hence the fact that she's in an acting class). Her catchphrase is "What's that supposed to mean?" because Cat often times doesn't comprehend what people are saying. If something unkind, or critical, is said, then she's quick to think that it's directed toward her. This causes the water works to start and for her to feel extremely hurt. She's also sensitive to other people, making her rather genuine. Cat is often oblivious to circumstances, but seeing somebody sad isn't one of them. She absolutely hates it when people are sad, and she loves to be the reason that somebody is smiling.
- Creative. Artsy artsy artsy! Cat might not be wonderful at drawing and painting (she does admire artwork, though), but she's a very creative person. She can sing with enough raw talent to get her far, and with some practice and schooling, she could kick Lady Gaga's bum. She loves singing with her friends and often spontaneously bursts out in song and dance. Perhaps it's just her love of the arts. She's also a good dancer, though not amazing. She hasn't had as much practice with dancing as she has with singing and acting. Oh! That, too! Cat is a wonderful actress! She loves being able to pretend (and pretend well) to be somebody else, because as much as she loves herself, she loves having to see something from different point of views. In a way, that makes her a fair person, but it also makes her a great liar and a bit overdramatic.
keep moving foreward
history shapes our future.
Place of Residence: [size=1Hollywood, CA[/size]
Birthplace: Hollywood, CA
Father's Name: William Vincent Valentine
Mother's Name: Patricia Renee "Patti" Benedict Valentine
Siblings: Jason Will Valentine
History: Jason was born a few years before Cat was. He has always been in the shadow of her, but they still love each other as any brother and sister do. He would always tease her and bother her, just to be a brother, but their bond would always grow. He's the protective older brother, and she's grateful for him.
Cat was born on August 17, 1994. Her parents, Patricia and William were so excited to have a new baby in the family, what's more, a girl. Jason, at age three, was excited to have a baby sister, somebody who he could play with.
She always was a bit of a tomboy at her elementary school. Cat loved having fun, getting muddy and sweaty, being where the action was. Her outlet was sports. She was a high-energy child and was quite the troublemaker. Her best friends were boys and she rarely ever talked about sparkles, rainbows or cute bows. No nail polish colors interested her, nothing girly. She was used to rough housing. She was like her brother
Around the age of twelve, life hit her full force. She realized that she was, indeed, a girl, and Cat transformed. She changed from one of the boys to a cute little girl in a matter of months. Even though she still had a lot of boy friends, she was gaining a group of girls that she hung out with. Cat's interest in fashion, singing, and the arts grew as her love of sports began to shrink. Soon, the girl that the boys loved to play with became a girl that the chicks loved to shop with.
By freshman year, Cat was a singer. She was absolutely adorable and almost all traces of tomboyishness were gone. She was a sweetheart, and even though she wasn't their closest friend, many of the boys still liked her. Cat got along with everybody at her local high school, then she got an invitation.

Hollywood Arts Academy Staff
Thus resulted in her admittance to Hollywood Arts (I kind of don't want to do an indepth history because she's a canon character and I don't want to be wrong xD)
better have looks or brains
everything else is trivial.
C-Box Name: SAWYER!
Other Characters: None...
Roleplay Sample: Cat stared at the large Hollywood sign as it passed, her nose pressed up against the window of a black rental car. It was her first time to California and in the first five minutes, it was everything she dreamed. As trees passed by her, eyes followed. She glanced back into the car to see her father sleeping, her brother playing on a video game and her mother staring intently at the road ahead. A soft giggle erupted from her throat as she looked at everybody's expressions. It had been a full seven minutes since she had been silent. Cat was simply too caught up in seeing anything to babble.
Within a matter of seconds, the little black car had pulled into a large hotel. Staring with wide eyes, the little red-haired girl grabbed her bad and started bouncing up the stairs. Reaching the front desk, Cat cleared her throat softly before announcing, "Valentine for four, please!" The lady calmly nodded at her and handed her a little envelope with four room keys. "Room three forty-nine" the dark-haired receptionist replied. "Thanks a bunch! Have a good day!" Cat exclaimed before bouncing down the hall with her family lagging behind. Nobody stopped to notice the bewildered look on the poor receptionist's face.
Four sets of chocolate-brown eyes searched the suite. It was amazing. There was a little kitchen area, a closet, three beds, two bathrooms, a washing machine, and a dryer. It was crazy. Before long, Cat was tearing about the place, trying to explore every inch of the suite. She zoomed about, placing things on tables, retrieving an apple from her bag and wandering out to the balcony. The little balcony had a small patio table and a few matching chairs. She stared below and looked at the clear pool below. Squealing, Cat sprinted to her bag and rummaged for her swimming suit.
"Mom, Dad! I'm gonna be at the pool!" She squeaked before slamming the bathroom door shut and changing. Seconds later, Cat had on a light pink bathing suit adorned in flower and heart patterns. A pair of black flip flops with a large flower on each matched along with her cute beach towel, and her little purse consisting of her phone, a wallet, an iPod, and a laptop. With a room key in hand, Caterina Benedicta Valentine was down the hall, in the elevator and at the pool in record time.
