Name: Catinka KyrkanNicknames: Tink
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Faction: Ghost
Race: Church Grim/Lamb of Death, a three-legged harbinger of bad luck. Church Grims are the lingering ghosts of animals sacrificed to protect and bless new churches and Pagan altars, and although they are protective spirits, they are also viewed as an ill omen if they are seen by anyone but a priest/devotee.
Natural Ability: Minor phasing of her extremities through objects (not full-body). For the time being this mostly manifests in an unfortunate tendency to phase right into some sort of mess or undergrowth, only to forget that she can phase and end up tripping seconds later, although it's also useful for rooting through the craft supplies drawer without actually having to open it.

Catinka is soft-spoken, easily distracted, and feminine to the core. She is so prone to becoming wrapped up in the active workings of her imagination that she not-uncommonly wanders right down several unknown corridors in succession and finds herself utterly lost. Sometimes, though, she can't remember where she was going in the first place, so that's OK.
She is friendly and even outgoing, but her strange mode of speaking, difficulty following a thought to its natural conclusion, and somewhat off-putting habit of wandering away when someone is trying to tell her something make her a frustrating companion.
Catinka is something of a born minion: obedient (before she forgets your orders, anyway), loyal, prone to hero-worship, gullible, easily-cowed, and stupid. Her natural place in the Amityville hierarchical ladder will likely end up a low rung, under the thumb of one or more leader types who might find her eagerness to please enough to offset her limited skillset and need for constant oversight, lest her focus stray.
Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy?
Catinka was always dreamy, distracted, and, to put it bluntly, incredibly clumsy. There was no hoof polish she did not spill, no dish she did not break, no object in her path she did not trip over even though she could have phased through it.
Eventually it was proposed to her by a kindly stranger that perhaps, as an omen of bad luck, Catinka was failing to harness her intended talents and was instead bringing bad luck on herself. Whether this was an accurate assessment remains in question, but it was decided that for Catinka's own good and the sanity of those around her, some time in the Academy was in order.
FEAR Ability:
Guardian Spirit (Barrier) - The natural function of a Church Grim is to protect. Catinka is no exception.
(y2: Black Sheep (The Mind))
Physical Description:
Eye Colour: White
Hair Colour/Style: Short, fluffy, curly or wavy depending on the day. Grows super fast and requires regular maintenance lest it overwhelm her.
Skin Colour: Black
Clothing Style/Colours: Big oversized woolen everything, in blacks, browns, and whites for the most part. Church grims are drawn to the sound of bells, so Catinka likes wearing jewelry made of tiny bells.
Extra: Catinka is missing an arm, and also has fluffy legs that end in hooves. The fur on her legs grows quickly and requires regular shearing, which brings new meaning to the term "shaving her legs." She has the fluffy tail of a newborn lamb, lamb's ears, and eyes devoid of pupil. She likes to paint her hooves, and also her fingertips, which are solidly hoof-like save for the very pads of the fingers.
