At 15 years old Catalina is the youngest Aes Sedai the Tower has ever seen. She is also perhaps the strangest (excepting Ariakas). Her homeland is unknown to all in the Tower, for one day she appeared out of nowhere, right in the middle of the warder's practice field! She seemed very shocked at her surroundings but consoled herself but muttering,"stupid solar...won't find me here". Ever since then she has been very reluctant to talk about her homeland or how she got here, reluctant to the point of using the power on any would-be questioners. Catalina was moved directly up to Aes Sedai, when on a journey to the blight she destroyed an entire mob of Trollocs with a minimal ammount of effort. She is rumored to be as stong as Nynaeve if not stronger, but has never given substance to these rumors. She is also able to do unheard of things with the power, which would explain how she came to be in Randland.
Even stranger than her abilities is Catalina's appearance. Her light blue hair is extremely long and never seems to stop growing, her skin even has a blue tinge to it, and she looks as if she has been in the water a bit too long. Another, even stranger rumor, is that if you look into her royal blue eyes too long you seem to mysteriously lose your strength.
Catalina has recently bonded and been bonded to a Warder, Gawaine.
