Ethan && Catalina

It was rare for Ethan to make a friendly connection with people, which was why most of the people who came to know were mere acquaintance. He would meet them at a bar, have a chat and go on his way. That had been his relationship with Catalina. If you could call it that. They would bump into each other at a bar somewhere and through their interaction, they became friends of sorts. Tonight, he saw her seated at the bar when he came in, and so he approached her straight away. “You didn’t wait for me? What a friend you are.” He clearly jested before taking a seat next to her.

⇘

she doesn’t turn to look , a stoic face of indifference is the only response to his humor .   “ don’t be late next time . ”   catalina speaks with a casual shrug of one shoulder .   she doesn’t intend to sound so blunt and unapproachable , but years of being approached and having to tell people no constantly formed the habit .   bottle of corona held in one hand is brought to lips , head tilting back slightly as she takes a long drink .   as the bottle is brought away from her lips she finally turns slightly to view ethan , a fellow soldier .   “ we’re friends ? ”   the question is asked as a brow arches .   catarina wouldn’t exactly say that she was really friends with anyone inside the mafia , she was perhaps closes with domenico , but even their relationship was strained with the years of separation between the siblings .

@kadiravci location : a gym ( anywhere? )

there's only a handful of things that catalina enjoys more than a good fight , and none of them are legal at that .   at least a short sparring session with kadir wasn't likely going to land her in the back of a cop car .   as boxing gloves are strapped down around the wrist her eyes flicker over to kadir , the faintest of smirks pulls up the corner of her mouth only slightly .   it would be missed by most .   " are you sure you're ready for this ? "   catalina questions , eyebrow raised as if the question was to mock him.   she climbs up to the ring , her body bends to fit through the ropes and once upright again she shakes out her limbs in preparation .

Hands grip the wheel of stolen vehicle as tires roll over the gravel, crunching and compacting as it goes. Cautious eyes are on the look out , known to get herself into trouble a time or two , Catalina didn’t want anything to go wrong here.  The plan was simple.  Drop off the goods, get the money, and leave. Simple.

As the car eventually rolls to a stop she cuts off the engine, and without it’s subtle hum the area is silent and deserted.  As she steps out of the car she throws her backpack over one shoulder and carefully closes the car door. Eyes continue to search her surroundings for signs of another. Were they supposed to meet here, or was she supposed to walk from this point ?

“ Am I even in the right place? ”  she grumbles aloud to herself.

@ofxcatalina > fancy restaurant in the upper east side 12pm 

     “ i’m surprised you showed. ” he sits back in the seat , locking eyes with catalina. the waiter places to glasses of water in front of both of them. domenico gives a polite smile to them , then expressed that he would get a bottle of their best merlot.  “ decided we could do without the corona’s for a day. those don’t seem to fit the vibe here. ” taking his gold framed sunglasses , he folds them and clips them to his shirt , clearing his throat some. when it came to his baby sister , there was still a lot he didn’t know about her. almost ten years apart in age & then eighteen years apart from another. 

      in a way he envied her , especially when he was a young boy. the love and attention he yearned for from his father was non-existent. he was instead met with his malice tongue and iron fists , which only got worse as he grew older and stronger. it wasn’t catalina’s fault that manuel never wanted a family with dom’s mother. his father’s cold heart was stolen away by gloriana years prior, but the 18th street mafia wouldn’t allow the relationship.

 his somber thoughts became disrupted when the waiter returns with the bottle , generously filling up the two decanters. reaching out and grabbing one with callous hands , “anyways , how have you been? ” not remembering the last time he’d ask. 

⇘

“ I’m not really one to try fit to another persons standards. ”  Catalina remarks, as fingertips drum delicately on the table as she waits for any drink other than water.  But how would he know they’d only reconnected over the past few years and there was still some distance.  And even though Catalina wanted to bridge the gap between the siblings she still couldn’t completely let go of the bitterness that left a bad taste in her mouth.

Of course Corona was her go to choice, at least Domenico knew that.  Not that it was important and despite her previous comment her expression remain neutral, bored even. 

Catalina appreciated the time she’d stayed with him when she first arrived in New York, though some days she also needed space.  The best thing about those days were when Dante was there.  Despite not having a mother figure in her life, she surprised herself when it came to being around Domenico’s kid, and she truly enjoyed the simple things like kicking around a ball or going on bike rides through the park.  The relationship she had formed, being the fun aunt, went better than it had with Domenico though she hoped one day she’d get over it.

Catalina glances around the place and is reminded of the places her father would take her, along with his business friends as he like to call them.  She hated those times because she was viewed as the fragile daughter by those that didn’t know her. “ I’d be better if we could have met somewhere that has a little more... hm, personality. ” Eyes drift down to the decanter and her nose turns up at it as if it’s sewage water.  “ Couldn’t we have gone to a sports bar or something?  I’m sure they’d still do wine if you asked. ”

open starter for anyone who  might be on the OBrien shit list hehe

“you gotta get get a trashcan back here man, shit’s gross.” it was an easy signature move. surprising someone in the back seat of their car was scary, made people a little on edge and honestly? the person’s reaction usually just made him laugh. honestly, he thought the new york scene would be used to it by now. “i’m in the mood for a drive, don’t you think? he pointed forward, “and if you’re as smart as people say you are, you’ll know where to go.” 

⇘    Her body tenses as her hands grip the steering wheel but she makes no attempts move or look behind her as she listens to the remark about the build up trash she chose to ignore. Although the comment does cause her to smirk slightly. Steady eyes glance up at the mirror, catching sight of them in the reflection.  “ I don’t know who it is you think I am, but I guarantee you’ve got the wrong person. ”  Catalina’s voice is calm, and seemingly unnerved by the unknown presence in the back of the car. A car that wasn’t even hers. She’d borrowed the car a week ago and was using it as a run around until it would eventually run out of gas.  “ I’ll humor you. Where we going? ”

LIFE.

Born in Guatemala Catalina was the product of an affair between a member of the mafia and a Puerto Rican woman the mafia wanted dead, for reasons unknown to Catalina. Her father loved her mother and despite the mafia’s intention to take her out her father still continued their affair until Catalina was born. The mafia got their wish, as her mother died due to amniotic fluid embolism. Her father, Manuel, was distraught but he brought Catalina into his home where she was raised alongside her half-brother, Domenico, who was ten years older than her. Domenico’s mother, Ariana, accepted although she had no choice in the matter. Ariana still helped raise Catalina until she was murdered when Catalina was four. Catalina was told that the murder was a member of a rival gang looking to take out Domenico, but that was a lie she is yet to uncover. The truth was that Manuel murdered Ariana in front of Domenico. Raised by only her father treating Catalina like a princess as a child. And Catalina looked up to her older brother until she was 10 years old when Domenico left to go to America.

Catalina was too young to fully understand what had happened between Domenico, their father and Ariana. And for her life continued to go on in Guatemala where over time as her father rose through the ranks Catalina felt more alone than anything else. Her father, although he would spoil her with anything she ever wanted, only ever wanted to make him proud of her. In her teen years she started to anything she could for her father's attention. She began to involve herself with a soldier within the 18th street mafia and he taught her much of what she knows today. Catalina became more and more involved in the life of crime and is now skilled in anything from theft, forgery, dealing and is skilled with melee weapons and firearms, but honestly just loves a good fight. By her late teens/early twenties she realised how much her father wanted Domenico to take after his lead, but that Catalina could never fill that position. He wanted her to be treat and viewed as royalty, but didn’t believe she’d ever be good enough to get her hands dirty within the ranks of the mafia. Catalina fought every day to change that, pushing herself to become what he wanted from Domenico.

For several years she was a soldier within the 18th street mafia, but there came a time where Manuel wanted her to go to the states and see what was happening there, see what Domenico was doing and how the operations were running within the Latinx Mafia / Espinar family. Aged 28 Catalina moved to the states, initially living with Domenico for the first few years. She realised how little they really knew each other since he left when she was still a child and eventually, she moved into her own apartment in Soho.  Catalina is now a soldier within the Latinx Mafia in New York City, and though she has integrated well she still waits for her father to call her back to Guatemala several years later.

HEAD CANNONS.

She’s an excellent forger, any legal documents you need, she’s got them ready within twenty-four hours. For a price of course.

She loves fighting – you can see her in the underground fighting scene from time to time, but she’d get into a scrap with someone for the smallest things.

She drinks a lot – she is a functioning alcoholic and no one has ever really noticed or brought it up if they have.

She clearly has daddy issues, always wanting his approval, but never comparing to what he’d hoped her brother would be.

Despite how her father raised her she isn’t your typical girly “princess” type. More often than not she is wearing ripped jeans, a tee and combat boots.

WANTED CONNECTIONS:

ROOMMATE(s)- someone he can split the rent with, they don’t even have to like each other but their connection can be plotted however I would love the idea of a bunch of roomies like in new girl. (0/?) BEST FRIEND – everyone's gotta have a best friend, this person could have shown her the city when she first arrived and they hit it off ever since (0/1) DRINKING BUDDIES - they go out, they drink and it’s as simple as that.  more can be plotted. (0/?) EXES - can be plotted but she would have likely just ghosted after a period of time or it fizzled out (0/?) ONE NIGHT STANDS - past or present and can be plotted. (0/?)
