despite having many family members, caterina is not particularly close with any of them as all the amell children were sent to separate boarding schools as soon as they were old enough (litcherally six years old) at the behest of their grandparents. 

cat attended a boarding school in paris from ages 6-13 and ages 13-18 were spent in milan. only two months of every year were spent at home with her parents and siblings. many letters were written

she developed a deep love of reading and learning at these schools, spending all her time in their libraries. 

when cat returned home for the summer one year, she learned from her father that her mother had disappeared months earlier. they hadn’t succeeded in finding her and they never would. cat has opted to believe that her mother was so distraught by never truly knowing any of her children, that she left so she wouldn’t have to bear the reality of it. 

during her last year of school, she decided to apply to universities/colleges in small-ish towns because her home wasn’t much of a home anyway and she wanted to make a new one somewhere she felt like she could connect with the community

lo and behold, decimation !

she’s been in decimation for five years, completing both her bachelor’s and master’s at ccoud.

THE DETAILS

FAMILY: syldor vessar (father), elaina (mother, deceased), vax’ildan (twin brother, deceased), velora vessar (half sister), trinket (pet/son)  THREE FAVORITE THINGS: spending time in the wilderness, animals, and iced coffee EDUCATION: her childhood schooling was a mixture of public school and private school. she dropped out of high school when she was 16, but received her ged in her early 20s. currently enrolled in ccaoud, but undecided on her major. she’s mostly toying with environment science and political science.   SKILLS: archery, charismatic, acrobatics, stealthy, perceptive, lip reading, multilingual (english, mandarin chinese, french, german)  HEADCANONS (tw for death & house fire): 

vex and vax lived with their mother in dedham, essex until they were ten years old, when their father learned of their existence and took them to live in london

living with their father was, in short, a Bad Time, as he had ridiculous expectations of the twins, so they ran away when they were sixteen

they returned to dedham to look for their mother, but they learned that their childhood home burned down with elaina inside 

the twins were unhoused for a few years, traveling around from town to town to do what they had to for survival (sometimes theft, sometimes odd jobs) 

they eventually ended up in the united states, finding their own apartment, and finally working, studying, and living in relative peace

and then, in a turn of events, the twins were attacked on their way home which ultimately led to the death of vax’ildan as he stepped in front of the knife that was meant for vex’ahlia

as a result, vex picked up and left, not wanting to stay somewhere filled with memories of her twin brother (nor having the money to do so) and she ended up in decimation

also, on another note, somewhere in these 28 years she got a brown newfie dog that she loves very much
