Overall character history:
They say that families come in all shapes and sizes and that is definitely true for the Blackwell family. Had it not been for a cruel twist of fate that had seen her father being abandoned by his first wife then the twins never would have been born. They were born into an incredibly happy family, albeit one that definitely didn't fit the status quo. Before the twins came along, the parents had already had a mismatched family consisting of her dad's two children from a previous relationship and her mom's niece and nephew who had become her wards after their parents died and the house was already quite full by the time the twins entered the world. Catherine Blackwell was born in France alongside her twin sister Josephine Blackwell. Out of the two of them, Cathy preferred the light, the center stage, and always found it to be there for her taking. She had turned a blind eye to her sister's desire, wanting everything she set her eyes on regardless of who else had it before. They spent their childhood growing up, studying in a human school away from the knowledge of magic. To begin with, it didn't look like anything out of the ordinary was going on with either of the girls, they were normal, healthy, and happy baby girls and they had two parents as well as four older siblings who absolutely doted on them and she often fell asleep nestled in the arms of one of her parents or her siblings. Things were perfect, more so than anyone would have thought, but as things often did with their family things were about to get a lot more complicated.
It was only when during a fight, Josie tried to soothe a grizzly Cathy that they learned the truth - whatever had been done to them had made both of them take after their mom. Channeling each others magic wasn't deliberate and it was something that their parents had to be very careful and make sure didn't happen in the months to come but little did they know that it wouldn't be a problem for very long. The secret was out that Gertrude came from a particular coven which she hid from Claude in order to protect and hide from her twin-brother to skip a life-threatening ritual so the twins were born as channeling witches. The family was unaware - whatever had been done to them had made both of them take after their mom. The channeling let Cathy and Josie create a cyclone around them, their magic growing more powerful for their age. This led their mother to bind them each with an accessory and Cathy was given a ring that she had to wear at all time to prevent her from channeling her sister.
Cathy is exceptionally good at art, from fashion to the more creative outlets, and can piece together what might appear to be otherwise random bits and form them into a collective whole. It's a rare enough gift that she is occasionally boastful about it. However, she loves to get involved and into her art, this can often leave her forgetting to do anything which involves the real world and everything around her. So, much that it's not really absent-minded manners as that she just can't see past her own canvas. Moreover, she is an exciting individual to be around, occasionally a little bit scattered as she had a personality that can lead to her being easily distracted or at least looking that way when something becomes fixed in her mind. While her methods often seem random to others, the results are often impressive and for Cathy, she concentrates her creative outlet into her art that she is consistently working on improving. She also fits the mold of being a free spirit. She is inherently playful and while this can come across as either not caring or just being incapable of being serious; it's not wholly the case. Cathy will certainly have an outlook of the glass half full approach to the world and anything and everything that the world chooses to throw in her direction.
