DOES IT FEEL LIKE A TRIAL?
★ APPEARANCE
Tall enough to make some people feel uncomfortable, Caroline makes up for that (or so she thinks) with her occasionally eccentric attires. Her crimson eyes emphasize her white skin, almost giving her an unreal, ghost-like look. It is unknown whether her current hair color is her natural hair color and she won't speak of it, just as she won't speak about the occasional strand of white hair that appears now and then. She looks almost too skinny for her height of 6'1, but she is doing her best to put on some weight, even though it is a troublesome task; she will often be seen munching on a snack of some sort, since she has quite a sweet tooth.
★ PERSONALITY
She can often be described as 'clever', 'innovative', 'genial'. Usually both verbally and mentally quick, she made an unusual hobby out of arguing, just for arguing's sake, seeing the concept as a sport. The same skill, juggling with words, she shows in problem solving: always on the move, always thinking, always solving problems. She gets tired of the same problems though, so she will always try to find other things to entertain herself with.
She cannot stand it when something gets in the way of her goal. She can be rather impatient with those she considers incompetent or inapt, and she doesn't hesitate to show it, not one bit, even if it will put her in a bad light. When not being harassed by life in general though, she tends to be charming and nice, but one can never know what hides behind her apparently kind facade, since she often tends to be oblivious of the rest of the humanity, unless it's her loved ones, with whom she bonds very fast.
Motivated by possibilities, she will always enjoy the new or strange combinations lurking within the ordinary everyday world of ideas and things. There must always be something that urges her to go on, push her limits even further, tempting her to re-orchestrate her life into new patterns and shapes. With a never ending thirst for winning at everything forever, she always needs variety and change, otherwise she will be in danger of going crazy. She sees something in places other people wouldn't see anything: always thinking of new combinations, a chance to redefine an existing situation in such a way that it appears new, revitalized and once again full of promise. Daily routine is loathsome to her person, who always needs something new in her life, something different. Innovation is the first thing she thinks of when waking up in the morning.
Never content with the outcome of her work, she'd often spend entire days and nights without sleeping or eating just trying to make something work. Often, if the frustration level is high, she will lash at the people around her, fact that makes her seem insensitive and self centered.

★ Backstory
It is unknown where Caroline came from. Maybe she just doesn't feel like speaking of it, or her childhood, or maybe she is simply waiting for someone to show interest in it, but she had never spoken of it and won't do it unless asked. Still, she won't hide the fact that she was the eldest sister in a household of artists, her younger brother's location unknown to her at the moment however, and it doesn't seem she wants to know anything about her family. It is, in a way, some form of protection against a past she does not freely speak of.
Studious and charming, she could have made her way to the top of her career easily, become something else: a politician, a businesswoman, but she chose to become a professor instead, trying to teach those younger than her to think for themselves. Philosophy and her got along ever since she can remember, and she chose to speak of it not to impose her ideas on others, but to teach others to think, to create, to grow and bloom, to achieve their full potential. For her apparently silly ideas, she has been relocated from school to school, and, if asked about it, she'll say she doesn't mind it: after all, every person has a mind of their own.
Caroline's had a pretty simple life, devoid of luxuries and extravagance, but she's tried to keep away from poverty, earning her money with her teaching. She tries to stay in touch with her students, mostly out of ambition than anything else. Now, relocated to Sternbild, she's unsure whether she can adapt to this kind of place: she's heard of it before, but she doesn't know what to make of it. A place with people she had never seen or heard much of before, she can't help the anxiety that's settling in her mind with each passing moment. However, she is certain she will try her best to find that one thing she is looking for.

★ ETCETERA
She can't cook to save her life. Last time she tried, she set her house on fire.
Isn't a conservative kind of person; she is very open minded and won't hesitate to show it. After all, life isn't about teaching others, it's about learning a new thing every day.
She can play the piano, one of the things she had been taught by her father.
