History:
Catherine was born the youngest daughter of Elizabeth Bathory, the Blood Countess. However, Bathory didn’t really give a damn about her young daughter. She had picked her favorite-her older daughter Alexia. That meant Catherine was left in the hands of a nanny most of the time, but that was all right with her because her mother made up for having no interest in her by spending a small fortune on whatever the little girl wanted.
Catherine’s father was dead by the time she was three, and her mother was already into her murderous rampage. Catherine was kept mostly away from it. She was a quiet child, even though she was spoiled. She preferred to be alone with her lessons and not getting dirty from blood.
But that all changed one night when Catherine was 6. Catherine awakened from a nightmare and wanted her nanny. Getting out of bed, she heard the sounds of terrible screams. In the castle hallway, Catherine found her mother in the midst of a torturous rampage of a servant girl. Catherine stood, transfixed, as her mother cut flesh from the girl’s arm. When Elizabeth Bathory saw her daughter, she held out her arms to the girl. In one hand, she held a knife, the other beckoned the little girl to her.
Catherine had no idea if her mother was going to stab her or hug her, but for some reason she wanted to take her chances. Going to her mother, she hugged her. Bathory hugged the little girl, and then turned her to face the servant girl. Bathory transferred the knife into her daughter’s hand and showed her how to stab the woman. Catherine did-and that was when everything changed.
Catherine’s love for blood was now developed, and as she grew older, her mother encouraged her to kill more. While Alexia wanted to bathe in and drink blood, Catherine wanted to kill. And the Countess was highly pleased.
Of course Countess Bathory was caught for her crimes. When it occurred, Catherine begged to be allowed to stay with her mother. She argued that she and her siblings had participated actively in the crimes and should be punished as well. Naturally, Catherine was overruled and sent to Romania with family.
Once in Romania, Catherine’s lust for blood and death was no less. As she grew older, she became more and more capable of murder. Her family members turned a blind eye, as they were wealthy and politically connected, and hoped she would stay clean. But one night Catherine had an ugly run in.
Catherine was kidnapped by a woman named Arkumi. The woman was a vampire, and needed the girl to get away from her service to her own maker. She brought Catherine to her maker as an offering: if he turned the girl, she would be free. Her maker agreed, and when Catherine heard what she would become, she was more than excited.
Catherine became deeply loyal to her maker. She did whatever he said, whenever he said to do it. Leaving him was not a thought which crossed her mind. It would eventually lead to her downfall.
Throughout it all, Catherine boasted her pride in being the Blood Countess’s daughter. She kept her last name of Bathory until her maker insisted she change it before she got them both killed by hunters. Reluctantly, Catherine agreed.
Catherine and her maker traveled all over Europe until he grew bored with it and took her to America. The two lived in America from 1700-1890. Cat adored America, which surprised her because she didn’t think she would. She was especially fond of the Civil War era. Battles were frequent and people could disappear so easy. It was easy to kill and even more entertaining. Catherine enjoyed her violence, and realized just how much of her mother’s daughter she was.
In 1890, Catherine’s maker decided they should return to France so that Catherine could spend time with her two siblings Jaron and Alexia. When Catherine found out of their own turnings, she didn’t openly care. Catherine had long since lost her interest in her human family, save for the pride she took in being Bathory’s daughter.
But in 1892, Catherine’s world changed. She and her maker attended a party at Versailles. There Catherine met a vampire by the name of Stan Davis. Stan had been a priest in his human life, and was very, very old. In that instant, the two fell madly in love.
Stan was the only man who could convince her to leave her maker. He feared the girl relied too heavily on the man, so he taught her to fight on her own. In 1900, he took her to Dublin, Ireland and bought her a pub there. He figured if Cat could learn to run a business and make her own money, she’d be set. Catherine found she liked the business world, and did very well.
Stan and Cat returned to America. Stan bought Cat a pub in Chicago called the Red Lion, which she ran until life went to hell in 1942. Catherine’s maker arrived, and literally ripped Cat from Stan’s arms by her hair and physically dragged her from his house. He took her to New Orleans, Louisiana and tried to settle her in a new world.
Her maker was pleased with Catherine’s financial and business knowledge, so he put her in charge of the hotel he ran. Cat enjoyed it, but she greatly missed her love. Her maker allowed the two to communicate, but forbid Cat from being alone with the other vampire, fearing she’d run off again.
But Stan was running his own children through New Orleans to keep an eye on his beloved. He quickly learned that Catherine’s maker was running low on money. He urged Cat to let him hide her money to keep her maker from demanding it. As much as Catherine hated to hide things from her maker, she agreed.
The money situation grew worse. Catherine’s maker needed more and more money-and sought desperate measures. He kidnapped a very old, very powerful vampire and demanded that Catherine take care of him. Catherine argued, but her maker commanded her and she did it.
The plan was not a smart one and quickly backfired. The vampires of the one kidnapped by Catherine’s maker kidnapped Catherine in return for her maker’s crimes. For weeks, they tortured and starved her. When her maker failed to pay the ransom demanded to save her, Catherine took matters into her own hands and ratted him out. It worked-yet it didn’t.
During the torture, the knife one vampire was using broke in two, lodging in Catherine’s rib cage. Since she was already weakened from the ordeal-and not feeding-her body could not heal. The silver was lodged in the bone and tissue quite close to her heart. Catherine reserved that she was going to die.
But then Catherine opened her eyes and saw before her the lover she’d been hoping for. Stan paid Catherine’s ransom and carefully transported her to his home in Nashville. There, he and a vampire who had once been a doctor studied the wound.
Catherine was gravely wounded, and there were two ways to solve the problem. One was that they could stake her themselves, and two was that they could operate and remove the blade. Stan wanted to save his love, so he agreed to the surgery even though it meant that Catherine would have to be awake the entire time since vampires could not be sedated.
Catherine screamed her throat nearly raw as her wrists and ankles were secured with silver to keep her from moving during the surgery. Stan held her as the vampire cut the flesh from her rib cage and removed the blade. When the silver was from her body, Catherine passed out. She woke up in bed where she remained for a week as she fed and fought off silver poisoning.
When she was healed, Catherine was furious at her maker for nearly getting her killed. She changed her name back to Bathory and vowed never to see him again. Stan assured her he would make a life for her in Nashville.
Since then, Catherine has been residing in Stan’s 18th century colonial mansion with him and his servants. Stan lavishes his gifts and money on her, even buying her a human night club to run called Crimson and Clover. Cat enjoys her business and romantic life, and continues to kill for food or sport, depending on her mood.
Catherine keeps in touch with her siblings, but on her terms. She is beyond irritated with Jericho’s frequent forwards and sends him one email or text message and one gift at Christmastime. She emails Alexis fairly regularly and the two swap fashion gifts.
Cat is prone to angry tantrums which involve throwing items when she gets mad. The staff has learned to keep valuable items from her hands. But Cat very rarely fails to get her way with Stan. And she has not seen or heard from her maker in 15 years-a fact which makes her VERY happy.
