Background
Catalina was born an elf in 2015, a couple years after the initial UGE happened. Her family was not very financially stable, but they tried their hardest to raise her the best they could. During her childhood, her mom gave her an old DVD reader and a collection of Wild West movies; maybe not the best kind of movies to show a child, but that's all they had.
As she grew up, besides the struggles of living in a poor family, she had to face the discrimination of being an elf. Everywhere she went, staring and whispers would follow; but it didn't bother her much, or at least she would claim so. Despite there being other elves in the public high school she would attend to and elves being slowly more and more accepted into society, she would generally remain a very solitary person- she would have some classmates and friends in school, but no one she truly connected with.
During her second year of "Bachillerato", in 2033, rumors started to arise of infected in the area, though she was not worried about them, as by the time it was dark she was already home. But was she didn't expect was what she found when she arrived one hot day in the middle of Summer. A Banshee had snuck in the night before, and had waited for the opportunity to get as many victims indoors. As she opened the front door of her family's apartment, a sense of dread and a deep metallic smell would invade her senses. She slowly closed the door behind her and walked towards the living room- and there in the middle laid both her parents, a tall gaunt figure standing over their lifeless bodies. As it saw her, it slowly started stepping towards her, hunger in its eyes- Catalina froze in horror, but still managed to steadily open her front door again. Noticing her plan to escape, the creature lunged towards her, but she managed to get through the door and close it behind her: however it wouldn't stop the infected. It busted right through the wooden door, tearing it to bits and latching onto Catalina's arm, gnawing it. However, it was now exposed to light, weakening it- and thanks to the now destroyed wooden door, she was able to grab a big enough fragment and stab it on it's side, finally killing it.
Unfortunately she had already been infected, and with it she lost the life she had. From then on her life was a blur; barely surviving in the streets scared of being found out as an infected, forced to feed on the unfortuate. Until one night she saw what she thought was the impossible- another infected like herself- living without fear. This Banshee approached her and spoke of a Haven, a place where she could earn a living, and return to a relatively normal life.
And with the help of this Banshee she would get in contact with different fixers, doing minor jobs to earn their approval and finally be accepted as a Shadowrunner. Through this Haven she would also find a gang that shared her same passion for the Wild West, and although she was still not comfortable enough to find a regular place to live in, she was in the path to recovery.
