"No I'm not colorblind
I know the world is black and white
Try to keep an open mind
but I just can't sleep on this tonight
Stop this train. I wanna get
off an go home again
I can't take the speed that its
movin' in. I know I can't
But honestly, won't somebody
stop this train?"

PATRONUS"Katie?"
Her eyes cracked open a peek. She'd been so tired, and her arms and legs and everything was sore. And yet, Katelyn felt a sense of accomplishment wash through her when she looked into the eyes of her mother. The brown of Mrs. Solomon's eyes had once seemed plain and dull -- Kate had always wished her mother could have been extraordinarily beautiful. But these eyes seemed different, newer. Maybe it was the fact that they were crinkled up from the smile on her face, or maybe it was the fact that the two -- Katie and her mum -- now shared an enormous common place.
"Mmm?" Kate sighed, looking drowisly up at her mum. Her surroundings were white and bright, and suddenly, she was remembering things... like the fact that she'd went into labor early, and they'd had to preform a c-section, and why hadn't she gone to that wizard hospital instead, and -- "Where's the baby?" She asked worriedly, her heart suddenly pounding.
"The nurses --"
The door swung open, and a nurse walked in, brandishing a clipboard and holding a tiny pink bundle in one arm. Kate's heart swelled with pride as the nurse beamed at her.
"A little girl, for the new mummy," she smiled, lowering the infant into Kate's arms. The baby blinked, then looked up. Well, she wasn't positively adorable, but then, what newborn baby was absolutely perfect? But the observation on perfection could only be made by someone who had never been a mother before. To Katie, this baby was the most perfect, most beautiful baby she'd ever seen.
"Anna," she whispered, smiling and pressing her lips against her daughter's forehead. "I love you."
Her patronus takes the form of a cougar (or a mountain lion or a puma, depending on what you know the animal as...)
BOGGART"Mum? Dad?"
The door had been unlocked, as usual. Her parents were nutters sometimes. They obviously were under the impression that anyone and everyone could and should be trusted. It was insane, especially with all of the happenings in the wizarding world -- her world. Her parents weren't oblivious to it, but they didn't exactly like to talk about the fact that their daughter was a witch. Maybe it was the fact that they were still getting over the shock of it (it had been a long time, though...)
"Mummy? Dad? Oh, Dad," she said, smiling when she came up behind his arm-chair. The TV was on -- something she had not noticed. Her father was slumped down, obviously watching his programmes. Kate smiled -- her dad and the television. Coming up behind him, she tapped the middle-aged man on the shoulder.
He didn't flinch.
"Dad," she laughed, coming around to face him. "What's --" but her question was cut off when she looked him full in the face. His eyes were blank and staring, and there was no rise and fall to his chest. She couldn't tell if the man had a pulse, on account of the fact that her own heart rate had skyrocketed. Kate stumbled back a few feet, bewildered and frightened. Her round face drained of color, and her fingers found the phone that sat on the stand next to the TV.
"Help, help," she whispered when her mother greeted her. "It's Dad, it's Daddy, mum. He's dead, he's dead."
OVERALL
NURTURE ME, MOMMAHaving a baby completely changed Katie. She used to look out for herself, and maybe her friends if they were lucky, but since she had a baby, now she's gone totally maternal. Kate has the impulse to care for and help everyone. No matter what they've done. That's why she's training to become a healer. It's the fact that, now that she's had to care for an infant all on her own, she wants to take care of everyone. Its that motherly instinct, only, since she knows that her baby still can't fend for herself, the instinct to help everyone is still waning. She still helps up everyone who trips, always has bandaids handy, etc...
COULD YOU BE ANY MORE PIG-HEADED?Though Kate has found a more loving, caring side of herself due to her new child, she's still got her old traits, too. It's as though she's too different people -- one is mainly for her baby, and the other idiot? Well, that's the person you get to see. Katie definitely comes off as very stubborn and, well, sort of ignorant. Which also makes her come off as stupid. This is all summed up by pig-headed. She's horribly stubborn, which sometimes earns her the not-so-kind nickname of "the mule" at work.
THE IRRESISTIBLE CUTENESSYou can't deny that, despite the fact that she's pretty annoying, Katie is the little sister that you never wanted, but now you have to live with. She wiggles her way into a nice, warm spot inside peoples' hearts. Maybe it's because her mum doesn't really talk to her much anymore, and now she doesn't really have any family but Anna, but she always tends to make large extended families wherever she goes. It's hard to resist a cute little mummy weaseling her way into your "trust circle" but it happens. Sure, not with everyone, especially because she's muggle born, but with anyone who's tolerant of her. You don't have to like Katie, but its a little heard not to, especially if you're a total softie.
THE SMARTSKatelyn has smarts, but not in the way you'd expect to see them. She can tell you what kind of cry a baby makes when they're wet, hungry, or just need comfort, she can tell you when a person is in pain and they're hiding it and explain exactly how to tell. Kate can show you how to crush ingredients for healing solutions, or how long to warm a baby bottle in boiling water. She's got smarts, they're just scattered in different places and rarely see the light of day. Katie has brains, and she uses them on a daily basis -- most people don't see just how smart she is until they've gotten their finger chopped off and she's repairing it for them.
WHEN FACED WITH A HUNGARIAN HORTAIN, KATE IS MOST LIKELY TO:a.) hex the bejesus out of that sucker.
or
b.) run away screaming like a girl who just got her foot cut off.
It all depends on the day and how she feels. Kate's a quick thinker, but then, even though she was in Gryffindor and she's really brave, she also knows when to run away. Most mum's do, unless it's your baby sitting in between the dragon's legs, about to get chomped up. Then it's only a matter of pulling your wand out of your pocket and seeing how freaking fast you can get your legs to move. That's the thing about being a mum -- you don't even think about what you're doing when your baby is in danger. You just act, and hope that you don't die because of your actions.
