'''Catherine Lin? What's so special about her?''' There are lots of twenty-something girls like her all over the city. You see one, you've seen 'em all—the fast fashion clothes, the ridiculous lattes, the ever-present cell phone in a colorful case, and the always-in-a-hurry strut. Oh, and she's all over social media, and it's one millennial cliché after another—hashtag-squad, hashtag-relationship-goals, selfies, food porn, emojis all over the damn place. It's so cute, it's painful. | '''Catherine Lin? What's so special about her?''' There are lots of twenty-something girls like her all over the city.

Or at least that's what she wants you to see. Keep your eyes open, and you'll see that there's something a little off about her, a hint that there's something sinister hidden beneath that cheery exterior. You know what they say. Beware the nice ones—they're the ones who surprise you. | Or at least that's what she wants you to see.

Some individuals, especially those gifted with enhanced empathetic abilities, may sense profound rage buried underneath her pleasant façade. She goes to great lengths to hide it and keep it in check, but it's only a matter of time before something brings it to the surface. | Some individuals, especially those gifted with enhanced empathetic abilities, may sense profound rage buried underneath her pleasant façade.

As a Gaia-gifted individual (otherwise known as a "bee"), Cate possesses rapid healing, emergency dematerialization/rematerialization, and the ability to channel anima. However, due to unknown factors, the effects are diminished in her case. Therefore, compared to her peers, it can take up to twice as long to recover from illness, injuries, and chemically-induced effects (such as drugs and poisons). | As a Gaia-gifted individual (otherwise known as a "bee"), Cate possesses rapid healing, emergency dematerialization/rematerialization, and the ability to channel anima.

She often falls in the genius range on intelligence tests (150 on the Stanford--Binet scale, for example), but typically downplays this. In addition to her aforementioned persuasive abilities, she's widely regarded as a tech expert, highly skilled with computers and numerous other types of electronic devices. Though extremely knowledgeable in the field of information security and skilled at system intrusion, she tends to eschew the "hacker" label, as she's not fond of the negative connotations attached to it. If asked, she tends to refer to herself simply as a consultant or an enthusiast. |
Thanks to a stint as a master thief, she's also capable of quiet movement, free running, scouting, forced entry techniques (such as lock picking), pickpocketing, detection evasion, and silent takedowns (both lethal and non-lethal). She has internalized these abilities to the extent that even her normal everyday walk goes undetected by all but the most alert. She also maintains a high level of situational awareness at all times. | Thanks to a stint as a master thief, she's also capable of quiet movement, free running, scouting, forced entry techniques (such as lock picking), pickpocketing, detection evasion, and silent takedowns (both lethal and non-lethal).

Her compartmentalization technique confers an intriguing side benefit—near-immunity to mind-reading and psionic attacks. Her robust mental defenses can injure or even kill an individual who insists on pressing too far. | Her compartmentalization technique confers an intriguing side benefit—near-immunity to mind-reading and psionic attacks.

Due to her lack of physical strength and robustness relative to her peers, she prefers to evade and flank her opponents, and she attempts to catch them unaware whenever possible. As part of this overall strategy, she has mastered a technique known as "blinking", a sudden burst of speed that moves her almost instantly between one point and another up to five yards away. This may confuse and disorient some opponents, as it grants the illusion of teleportation without the use of magic. | Due to her lack of physical strength and robustness relative to her peers, she prefers to evade and flank her opponents, and she attempts to catch them unaware whenever possible.

Whenever possible, she avoids the use of deadly weapons. If pressed, she's a decent shot with her suppressed Glock 19 pistol, though accuracy begins to drop at 25 yards and plummets significantly at distances exceeding 50 yards. Performance with higher-caliber sidearms, SMGs, and rifles is mixed at best due to her inability to compensate for high recoil. | Whenever possible, she avoids the use of deadly weapons.
