Agent Katrina Donovan is a headstrong woman in her mid-30s, committed to the secretive government agency she serves with an unwavering passion. Her icy blue eyes often belay her warmth, but those who dare to look closer might find an unexpected kindness. Honesty is her policy, and she unapologetically delivers the harsh truth, no matter how unsettling it may be. Assertive to the core, Katrina doesn't shy away from expressing her opinions or enforcing her decisions, which often leads to her coming off as overbearing. Her haughtiness is apparent in her gait and conversation, backed by a confidence that borders on arrogance.
Manners have never been Katrina's strong suit; her bad temper often eclipses any attempt at civility. This is largely due to her being a perfectionist - anything less than flawless is unacceptable, a trait that leaves little room for pleasantries. Despite her insubordination, she is deeply loyal to the organization, strictly adhering to its principles and objectives. Katrina possesses a temperamental emotional capacity; her moods can change as rapidly as a storm brewing on a summer's day, rendering her aggressive more often than not.
Her intelligence is as practical as they come, able to solve puzzles and decipher codes as easily as she breathes. Although she tends to approach life with an unenthusiastic attitude, this does not dampen her ability to tackle her duties with vigor. Currently, she finds herself in a jaded state, feeling the heavy toll of countless operations and the weight of too many unspeakable truths. However, this emotional state does not deter her; rather, it fuels her relentless pursuit of the agency's goals.

Background
Katrina Donovan was born into an impoverished Irish family in the dusty town of Jerome, Arizona in the mid-1980s. Growing up, Katrina lived in a world where poverty and hardship were the norm, and the struggle to survive left her hardened and resilient. Despite the hardships, her childhood was steeped in the rich folklore of her Irish heritage, tales of mythical creatures and supernatural occurrences whispered to her by her grandmother. It was these stories that would spark Katrina's lifelong fascination with the supernatural.
As Katrina was transitioning from childhood to adolescence, she discovered peculiar abilities within herself. At first, they were little more than oddities – an ability to resist mental persuasion, an inexplicable toughness that defied physical harm. She found herself experimenting, pushing the limits of these powers during her solitary moments, unsure of their origin but instinctively aware of their potential.
As she was grappling with these burgeoning abilities, her life took a darker turn. The remote town of Jerome became a hotspot for the seedy underbelly of the supernatural world. The trafficking of supernatural beings was a common occurrence, a vile trade that both repulsed and fascinated the young Katrina. It wasn't long before she found herself ensnared in this world.
A vampire, drawn to her raw tenacity and emerging powers, attempted to make her his servant. This encounter left a lasting impact on her, instilling in her an indelible fear and a burning hatred for vampires and all those who treated humans with contempt. It was this moment that truly opened her eyes to the cruel realities of the supernatural underworld and set her on a path of defiance and resistance.
In the late 2000s and early 2010s, her fierce determination and honed survival instincts led her to become a bounty hunter. She quickly earned a reputation in the supernatural underworld, known for her relentless pursuit of her own brand of justice. Katrina's exceptional skill set didn't go unnoticed by the government. In 2019, just before the global pandemic hit, she was recruited by "The Contingency Plan," a secret government organization that collects and experiments on supernatural artifacts and creatures.
Her disdain for vampires and those who saw humans as lesser beings fueled her passion for her work at The Contingency. As an agent, she specialized in hunting down dangerous or powerful artifacts, always one step ahead of the supernatural entities that sought to claim them. Despite her jaded disposition and aggressive demeanor, Katrina was driven by a deep-seated desire to protect humanity from the shadows that lurked in the world. This dedication has kept her at The Contingency, where she continues to serve with unflinching commitment, vowing to keep the world safe from supernatural threats. As the "Ice Queen," her mission remains unwavering, standing as a bulwark between humanity and the eerie unknown.
