— BIOGRAPHY

Born as the youngest of far too many children, across far too many marriages, Catherine was raised to function a certain way and somehow found her joy in it, too. She was meant to go far. That never changed.

While her childhood was still very much on the calmer side, she didn't go without noticing the way her father behaved. A man so seemingly full of anger and hatred, well, it wasn't hard to learn a way around that. Catherine kept her eyes open, found a way to mask exactly what he needed and somehow managed to become a favorite with enough range to move and become her own person.

Her goals? Simple, yet classy. Assure that she would be seen as an heiress to the vastness of her family's fortune and favor. Catherine worked hard, and once in high school joined the drama department, the swim team and became a cheerleader. The young woman reveled in the sunshine that came with popularity. On top of that she assured her grades were equally on point, scoring herself a scholarship despite not needing one due to the fortune her family sat on.

Still, she'd worked hard and secured herself her spot among the elite: Yale Law, graduating with honors.

There'd never been any illusion over what was expected of her. Functioning the way she did was necessary. In all of it she somehow managed to remain the kind, warm being with immense amounts of patience.

For a while she worked as a lawyer before being introduced to her future husband. From that moment his dreams became hers, the final goal set before her and without a doubt in mind she would make it happen. That was when she noticed what a perfectionist she was; how far she was willing to go in order to assure her dreams and that of those she considered part of that.

Soon the wedding bells rang, children to follow after. If anyone were to ask if she truly loved her husband the answer would be the very same each time. Yes, she did. Never would she say anything else, cause that was the truth. His goals had become hers. Whatever it takes, she is willing to do it in order to see him in the White House; the one place she truly believes he belongs.

Having given up her work as a lawyer, the young woman focused her efforts instead of philanthropy. Ever the socialite she was the perfect host and she was determined to make it. Still does to this day.

Beyond that she feels close to her brother Easton, very much caring for him and his life, his happiness and of course their movie nights.
