My name is Kathryn, but I don't appreciate nick names. In the past, I've had nicknames because I felt like they suited me, but I no longer feel like they're appropriate representations of whom I currently am.
I am currently working on saving money before attending college to get through my general education before moving toward my Master's Degree in Library Science.
I am in a wonderful relationship with the man I love. We are in fact serious, and I am not looking for a good time with anyone else. He and I have been together since October 26th, 2008, and while our relationship was rocky at first, we are currently smooth and joyful. I moved into his home on April 23rd, 2011.
I have suffered through many tragedies in my lifetime, but I don't want pity for them. I have merely learned the lessons those experiences have taught me in order to become a better person, a person I can respect and a person of whom I can be proud.
I am a bit of a spiritual person, but I can't find it within myself to have a belief in a deity. However, I believe that every living being has a soul from the liveliest human to the tiniest insect to the stiffest plant. Life is beautiful.

Sexuality Heterosexual
Sexual Preference Appearances generally aren't important to Nizhoni. However, she does prefer her men to be fit rather than letting himself go or starving himself. She wants someone who can keep up with her, and she lives a very active lifestyle.Colouring and bone structure are unimportant to her as long as they aren't her size or smaller.
As far as personalities go, she prefers men who can stand up for themselves. If she senses any form of weakness in a man, she'll take advantage of it, but she can never truly feel for a man like that. Instead, she wants someone who won't let people walk all over him, but he shouldn't be a complete jerk because she won't tolerate that, either.
Physical Appearance Eztli stands at a height of five feet and six inches. Her figure is athletic while maintaining its femininity. This woman’s flesh is naturally the golden brown that marks her heritage.
Long, layered, black hair waves softly down her back and frames a heart-shaped face. Below thin, sharply arched brows sit lovely, brown, almond shaped eyes. Dark lashes surrounded these eyes, and high cheekbones accentuate her face. Eztli’s nose is straight with a broad base. Full, well-formed lips hide a row of straight, white teeth until she offers one of her winning smiles.
Family Leena Atl ((biological mother; deceased)) Zolin Atl ((biological father; deceased)) Patli Atl ((brother)) Nellie Atl ((sister)) Ollin Atl ((brother)) Greg Prewitt ((foster father)) Julia Prewitt ((foster mother))
Personality Eztli Atl portrays every outward appearance of a hardworking, kind young woman who is very confident and social. She likes to share knowledge with people who share similar passions, and people tend to like her very soon after meeting her, for she has a way of putting people at ease.
However, there’s a darker side to her that few have ever witnessed. Eztli has a tendency of obsessing over largely negative things. She can be manipulative when it suits her purposes, and she isn’t afraid to hurt other people in order to accomplish her goals. The young woman feels a great deal of hatred for those who murdered her parents, and her animosity toward the foster care system is almost as great. She wants to find a way to punish those who made her life hell, and she won't stop until she succeeds.
Birthplace Southern Water Tribe
History Eztli was the first-born (of three) of Zolin Atl – who was Native American – and his then-new wife Leena – who was African American. She was raised to be an intelligent and a happy child who had always felt an affinity with water. She learned to swim before her fifth birthday, and from then on, she was hooked on the activity. It was around this time that she and her family began noticing something that didn't worry them in the least: their daughter could manipulate the water around her. Many people in their family history had been accomplished waterbenders, and they wanted their daughter to become just as affluent if not moreso, so they taught her all they knew and gave her the journals of their past relatives to aid her training.
As she grew older, her mental acuity and confidence enabled her to become a social butterfly of sorts, but she was also a little manipulative when it suited her. This didn’t necessarily mean she was unkind. She simply understood how to get what she wanted in so discreet a manner that few ever truly realized what she did. However, in return, she liked to share the things she knew – as long as they weren’t related to gossip – with others she felt deserved to know them, namely those who shared similar passions as herself.
When she was thirteen, a home invasion with the intent of burglary ended in the girl’s witnessing her parent’s murders. Her brothers and sister were sleeping at the time, and the noises didn’t awaken them. The police were never able to catch the culprits, but the memory was burned into her memory. As a result, she became cunning and less kind inwardly though the way she was perceived by others hardly changed. She was still seen as beautiful and generous, but a shadow had filled her that others could only rarely see.
When she was sixteen, she finally entered a foster home of a couple who were modern business people who spend about two-thirds more time on their careers than on their home. They understood that a girl her age would have a harder time finding any other home, so they thought they would help her that way.
They never adopted her, but she lived with them until she was eighteen. During those two years, she was mostly content despite having been separated with her siblings almost as soon as they’d entered the foster system three years earlier. The couple with whom she resided had plenty of money, and they encouraged her to try whatever activities suited her at their expense. She chose swimming and Tai Chi as those activities because the latter movements aided her bending and the former was simply fun.
When she was eighteen, they provided an apartment for her on the understanding that she would get a job to pay her rent, but they offered to help her in any way if she ever needed it. Eztli was grateful, but she resolved to become entirely independent of them once she was able to acquire employment. She put off her schooling for two years until she felt she had built up enough money that she wouldn’t have to rely on her foster parents for help. She's been studying oceanography for the past three years while simultaenously improving her skills as a waterbender.
She now has the ability to bend water's many forms such as ice, liquid, snow, and steam. She has also learned how to draw water from the air itself though it's a bit harder to draw enough to use.
Parents: Alegría Cristo – Mother Vonze Adelrik – Father
Information: Personality Zelda Adelrik has a thirst for knowledge of all forms, even the kinds that seem to be little more than useless trivia at the time when she learns it. She is very observant, and can catch subtle things that few others seem to discover. Perhaps this is why she often finds herself getting into trouble for the mischief she causes. Most of the time, they’re experiments gone wrong or finding strange things she would have been better off leaving undiscovered due to her acute observational skills.
Because she often focuses on things she deeply wants to understand, she occasionally makes social blunders – such as ceasing to speak to someone if an interesting thought or observation occurs to her. This has left some people feeling as if she’s a bit strange, but she has a few friends who are very loyal to her and to whom she is dedicated in return.
Her friends tend to be from a variety of houses because her curiosity prevents her from simply sticking to one group of people from one house, and she dislikes the idea of judging a person based on either house or on lineage. It’s too limiting in her mind, and she loathes the idea of locking herself into one little box no matter how pretty it may be.
Family Situation Zelda Adelrik was born to a wizard father, Vonze Adelrik, and a muggle mother, Alegría Cristo. Vonze loved Alegría very much, and decided to live in the muggle world to be with her ((though he continued with his ambition to write works of fiction for the witches and wizards of his home. It was believed that Alegría would have had a difficult time adapting to the wizarding world as an unmagical adult. They also weren’t sure if any children of theirs would be magical or not, for there had been a squib or two in the Adelrik blood lines.
When Zelda was born, both parents loved her very deeply. She had red hair, green eyes, and freckles like her father, but she had her mother’s general facial structure. They raised their only daughter as a muggle, placing her into public schools. Vonze never spoke of the wizarding world to his daughter at all until she was six years of age and showed a bit of magical aptitude.
The young girl had raced across the street to get home when a car nearly ran her over. As if an invisible wall had been set into place, the car stopped, the front bumper crushing against the barrier. Alegría had seen the entire thing, and she told her husband right away what had happened, how Zelda had essentially saved herself. Vonze seemed quite pleased, and he began to tell his daughter all about Hogwarts – the school he had attended as a youth – and about the wizarding world in general. He had been placed in the Hufflepuff house in his school days, but he believed his daughter could be in any one of the houses, for she was more like her mother than like Vonze.
A few unexplainable things would happen around Zelda ever after that, but her parents weren’t worried. They only wanted what was best for their daughter, and if that meant she would become a witch, so be it. However, they continued to live in the muggle world for Alegría’s sake, and they were happy. On occasion, Vonze would take his family into the wizarding world to allow his daughter to adapt to it more easily, and he would take his wife with him to ensure she knew exactly what sort of place of which their daughter would be a part.
School Paragraph When Zelda was eleven years of age, she received her invitation to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Her parents took her to purchase her things in Diagon Alley, and she left on the Hogwarts Express.
Though she had visited the wizarding world on occasion, she wasn’t fully prepared for the wonder of Hogwarts, and her mind always whirred with the possibilities of such a place. She became determined to unlock its mysteries if she could.
She got nearly top marks in many of her courses due to her academic ambition, and she was a hard working student. However, she frequently got herself into trouble due to her overeager desire to learn all she could – whether she should or not. Zelda also seemed to have a knack for getting others around her into trouble because her closest friends would often follow her lead.
Interestingly, in the muggle world, Zelda had always disliked sports. There was nothing about them that could really draw her interest. However, she loves Quidditch. It holds an air of danger and mystery for her with which muggle sports simply cannot compete. She’s decent with flying though it took plenty of practice, and she hopes one day she can play for her house team.
Anything Else? Zelda has a pet named Faustino – nicknamed Faust – who is half kneazle and half ocicat.
She also owns a Nimbus 2000 Broomstick.
