Standing at an average height of 5'6", she has a slender but curvaceous figure that she accentuates with finely tailored attire, always in rich, deep colors that exude luxury—deep emeralds, royal purples, and midnight blues. Her skin is a smooth, pale ivory, a perfect canvas for the subtle yet expertly applied makeup she wears, giving her an air of understated sophistication.

PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS
Katelyn Von Doan carries herself with an air of calm, poised confidence, always maintaining a refined and sophisticated demeanor. She is articulate, persuasive, and incredibly observant, preferring to listen and analyze before speaking. In business, Katelyn is calculating and strategic, seeing every interaction as an opportunity to advance her brand and her influence. She's not quick to trust, but she's skilled at presenting herself as warm and welcoming, making others feel important while always keeping a professional distance. Katelyn has a strong sense of self-discipline, which allows her to remain composed even in high-pressure situations, rarely revealing her emotions unless it benefits her in some way. Beneath her poised exterior, she is deeply ambitious, always striving to elevate her reputation and expand her empire within the galaxy.
Katelyn's thought process is analytical and pragmatic. She values logic and efficiency, preferring to approach problems methodically rather than emotionally. However, her success in business has also given her a taste for the finer things in life, and she harbors a secret fear of losing the luxury and prestige she's worked so hard to attain. One of her most deeply held beliefs is that quality—both in products and in people—should never be compromised. She has a distaste for anything that feels cheap or inauthentic, and she prides herself on producing only the best, whether it's her drinks or her business dealings. While not overtly cold, Katelyn can be ruthless when necessary, holding to the belief that survival in the cutthroat world of commerce requires tough decisions.
Katelyn's primary phobia is losing control, especially over her image and her business. She fears being seen as weak or vulnerable, which drives her to tightly manage both her personal and professional life. This need for control also manifests in her dislike of chaotic situations or unpredictable people, as they threaten the carefully curated world she's built around herself.

HISTORY
Katelyn Von Doan was raised in an opulent estate just outside the city of Theed on Naboo. Her parents, wealthy aristocrats, owned a luxury boutique in the heart of the city, and from a young age, Katelyn showed a keen interest in their business. Though her early years were largely spent under the tutelage of the finest private educators credits could buy, she was always eager to observe and assist in the boutique whenever possible.
As she matured, her talent for business became undeniable. Sharp-minded and exceptionally cunning, Katelyn excelled at every task her parents entrusted her with. She soon took on increasing responsibilities, managing smaller aspects of their operations with the same meticulous care that would later define her own endeavors. Her parents, impressed but also protective of their legacy, supported her education, sending her to the best universities Naboo had to offer, preparing her to take over the family business. But Katelyn had other plans.
Driven by ambition and a desire to create something uniquely her own, Katelyn set out to build Galactic Vintage, a high-end distillery and brewing company. Her parents initially disapproved of this departure from the family tradition, especially given the divergence from their established luxury retail business, but Katelyn was determined. However, launching Galactic Vintage was far from easy. As a perfectionist, she refused to compromise on quality, sourcing only the finest ingredients and catering exclusively to a discerning, elite clientele. Breaking into the luxury market was a challenge, but her persistence paid off when her wines were selected to be served at a prestigious banquet. The overwhelmingly positive reception marked a turning point for her fledgling company.
In the following years, Katelyn poured herself into perfecting her craft and expanding her business. She established state-of-the-art distilleries on select core worlds, invested heavily in research, and traveled across the galaxy in search of rare, high-quality ingredients. Her relentless pursuit of excellence garnered the attention of the galaxy's wealthy and influential, but it also attracted fierce competition. Rivals attempted everything from hostile buyouts to copying her business model, yet Katelyn's keen business strategies and carefully forged alliances allowed her to outmaneuver them, solidifying Galactic Vintage as a premier name in luxury beverages.
Success, however, came at a personal cost. Katelyn's drive for perfection and control has distanced her from former friends, strained her relationship with her parents, and even led to the end of a serious romance. While she has tried to form new connections, her priorities remain firmly rooted in her business, and she has struggled to balance personal relationships with her professional ambitions.
Despite these sacrifices, Katelyn never allows her personal challenges to show. She maintains an image of poise, elegance, and perfection, refusing to let her employees or clients see any sign of vulnerability. To the public, she is the epitome of success, and she will stop at nothing to ensure that Galactic Vintage continues to grow and thrive.
