Katherine Pierce
---- THE BASICS
Character's Full Name: Katerina (Petrova) Pierce
Nicknames and Aliases: She goes by Katherine now. She doesn't quite like the nickname "Kat".
Age: 18/536
Species: Vampiress
Played By: Nina Dobrev
Appearance:Katherine has long, chocolate-brown hair generally falling in curls to mid-back. She likes to leave it down, but will occasionally pin some of it back loosely. She has almond-shaped chestnut eyes that generally hold a knowing or devious look about them that matches her smooth, red-lipped smile. Her olive skin is something that sets her apart from the crowd, and her slender figure is somewhat of a pride of hers, and she knows how to flaunt what she's got. She likes heavier make up, particularly around the eyes, extenuating the smokey look. She had to admit she's a fan of leather, and will often be found wearing at least a leather jacket to accompany her chic style and very high heels or boots. What is most noticeable about her is the reoccurrence of a few choice pieces of jewelry that she relies upon a little more than just for style, because they give her the ability to walk in daylight, which is a necessity for a woman on a mission.
Personality: Katherine has always prided herself on her no strings attached attitude. She is very independent and generally is accompanied with a nonchalant self-assurance that can be off-putting to some. Katherine often relies on her wit and charm to see her through, as well as her manipulation skill and, oh the power of leverage. She's all about the leverage, and likes to be just one half-step ahead of everyone, period. She knows exactly what to do or say to most often get what she wants. She's very straightforward and blunt when it comes to what she knows, and her fearlessness is what often sends people for quite the loop.
On the downside, Katherine comes in a package of fierceness, particularly in her hot temper. She's very playful and loves having a good time in getting whatever she's after, but if she's denied that... that's when it takes a turn for the worse. It is a frightening place to be, to make it to the bad side of Katherine, as she never lets things slip her mind, especially when sweet revenge can be dealt instead. She's often accused of being heartless and merciless, but she just knows what she can get away with, that if that happens to be quite a lot, that has nothing to do with her.

{Heads up, this is not that great of a sample on my part. Gr. >=( }
It took a lot to get Katherine drunk, but tonight she was willing to go to any length.
She loosely gripped the beer bottle with red-tipped fingers, staring into space and beyond. There was a row of empty glasses, bottles and a few scattered straws that she told the bartender not to touch.
"You look like you're trying to forget somebody." the same man smirked at her as he cleaned a pint glass behind the bartop. She tipped her head to the side, giving an almost rueful smile as she locked stares with him.
"Wrong. Trying to remember." She tossed back the last of the beer and flicked it to indicate she wanted another. Compulsion came in so much handy when the bartender who normally denied drinks after the third or fourth was suddenly willing to clean out the whole Mystic Grill to make his lady guest happy. She didn't feel like messing with confrontation tonight anyway. She called it an off day. She normally lived for a challenge, but tonight just seemed different. She was trying to remember a time when things were just a little too simply going her way.
She tossed her hair behind her shoulder to get it out of her way, starting into the next beer with a cynical smirk, thinking back to the conversation she had had with Damon just earlier that day.
"No reason to get all pouty, Damon, it's not like I did it all on purpose."
"Well congrats, Katherine. You screwed it up yet again."
"I was only trying to help."
"Well STOP!"
It was pretty much how all the conversations between them had gone lately, which shouldn't have made it that different. But the way his eyes were shining with anger when he yelled it at her, the passion behind his words, the knowledge that he was completely right. She screwed things up more than she made things right. Only trying to help. But why?
Maybe because it was because no matter how much she might pride herself over her habit of self-reliance, no matter if she didn't need a single living or dead soul to survive in this crazy world, there was probably one thing that really kept her going. Admiration. And not in the typical selfish, self-centered fashion like everyone perceived ol' Katherine Pierce. No, it was the admiration of those two Salvatore brothers, and not to get something out of it. She just wanted to be looked at like they used to look at her, in the time she thrived. A lot had changed in the last century, but that was probably what hit her hardest. Stefan was done with her, and Damon was tired of her. And hell, she was tired of herself.
She set down the beer, blaming it for her sober thoughts. She had admitted that she'll occasionally let out her human side, but she hadn't mentioned that she really hated when it took over. She propped her chin in her hand and played with one of her messy ringlets, heaving a deep sigh.
"Life's a drag." she stated to no one in particular. "Check."
It was set down in front of her and she searched her purse for her wallet. A wallet that, of course, was no where to be found. She looked wide-eyed up at the patient bartender, the hefty check in front of her and then around to no one in particular.
"Well, this is awkward." Then she looked around for someone gullible enough to have a quick staring contest and then pay an innocent girl's check.
