Personality-
The best way to describe Cathrine is a dedicated and hard working professional. She enjoys being the very best at what she does and spends a great deal of time and effort trying to be the very best at what she does. She will always be planning her next move in her mind and plans ahead while keeping an eye on everything around her. This street sense and forward thinking help keep her one step ahead and alive.
There is also a downside to this professionalism of hers. Cathrine isn't what one would call the most emotional or expressive person. In fact she is quite cold and cryptic in her demeanor and isn't one for small talk. As a result she can be quite distant in her personal relationships and does not hold them down very well. As a result Cathrine is a very much a loner mentality and will make decisions for herself.
As for her motivations Cathrine is not at all a selfish or materialistic person. Instead she is the sort of person who is content with what she has and chooses to try and live an exciting life. To say the least dying in her sleep would be a major let down. Consequently she can tend to be a bit of an adrenaline junkie and thrives under stress and danger. That being said she is still a good hearted and thoughtful person who will try to help others.

History-
Cathrine was born near Trondheim Norway to a fairly typical and moderated Norwegian family. Her father was a fisherman in the local fishing fleet and her mother worked as a nurse at the local hospital. Her early childhood was dominated by the out-doors and school. She loved both and when not at her studies she would spend a great deal of time outside either on the water or in the mountains with her father. To say the lest she had a very active childhood.
In her late teens she graduated high-school and was motivated by her parents to join the military. Opting for the navy Cathrine joined and commenced officer training at 18. After 4 years she graduated from the Naval academy and became a medical officer for the Royal Norwegian Navy at 22. This line of work would continue for 3 years until she was promoted to the rank of Captain. At this point in her career Cathrine was becoming quite dis-interested in her work. Still wanting to serve she looked to a more motivating role. Being of great physical fitness she applied to the MJK and was one of few to gain entry to the elite unit.
For the next 2 years Cathrine would train with the unit in the tactics and techniques of the commando unit. This included the re-capturing of oil-rigs, counter-terror tactics, unconventional warfare and direct action. The training was physically and mentally demanding while being quite dangerous at times. That being said it was a natural environment for Cathrine who thrived under stress. Upon completion she was assigned as a patrol medic given her experience but she also has experience in demolitions and sniping operations.
In the next few years she would be deployed on many missions. The main ones of these being Kosovo, Afghanistan and the Somali coast where it was her responsibility to lead teams attempting to recapture pirated ships. Recently around the events in New York Cathrine and her team were called in and stationed on a frigate offshore. Initially stood down it was decided after several months that a recon team would be sent into New-York to determine if there were any survivors left. This is where Cathrine's story begins. Inbound to La-Guardia on a Lynx helicopter.
Anything else?- none
Sample RP-
Climbing aboard the helicopter Cathrine was slightly on edge. Then again something would have to be seriously wrong with you if you weren't afraid. Getting dropped into a isolated urban jungle populated by hundreds of thousands of zombies and god knows how many normal people ready to shoot at anything that moves isn't something to take lightly. She had confidence in the team she lead though. They were good friends and colleagues. Probably the best she had and if it came down to it she's trust her life in any one of them. In all the team had one sniper, two riflemen and a light machine-gun. Plenty of firepower to get out of a hitch. On top of that they had all of their food and radio gear which amounted to about 100 pounds.
The plan itself was simple enough. Fly into the runway next to a terminal. Offload and bug out to somewhere quiet before the zombies showed up. Search the place for anyone not infected after which they would move to a rooftop location and keep an observation post. It was pretty straightforward but Cathrine knew that nothing ever went as planned. To tell the truth there was a 50/50 chance they would get killed on this mission. It was a risk they were willing to take though. There were probably people still left in that hell hope. It was high time people thought about getting them out.
