Catherine TF

Catherine is portrayed as a woman of short stature with an average build and a fair complexion. She has wavy dark blonde hair that reaches her upper back, and chocolate brown eyes that often gaze sideways. Catherine is described as the "most beautiful person in the world" by Heathcliff, and her presence captivates the Edgar Family at first sight.

Her typical attire consists of a floor-length layered ballgown dress. The bottom layer is frilled and white, while the top layer is warm brown with gold trim and floral embroidery. The dress features a high collar adorned with a brown cravat connected to it, embellished with a shiny gold pendant. Catherine also wears a gold, rounded necklace that depicts the head of a spanner, possibly an award for her career as an inventor. Catherine is typically shown wearing dark gloves.

When seen during her childhood, Catherine had a similar hairstyle, and adorned her hair with white flowers. She wore a long, frilled white embroidered dress tied with a ribbon around the waist. Additionally, she donned a thin, yellow ribbon on the collar, adorned with a green pearl.

As a child, Catherine was quite adventurous and outgoing, often being the one to suggest breaking the rules and sneaking out of Nelly's supervision while playing with Heathcliff. Catherine had a love of riddles, with which she enjoyed testing Heathcliff, and she had a passion for inventing things from a young age, dreaming of becoming a grand inventor one day.

While Nelly described her as someone who loved being at the center of everyone's attention, Catherine grew up quite sheltered, often feeling trapped in Wuthering Heights. Heathcliff remembers her pitying the sad fate of the birds whose feathers would be used for their pillows; Nelly similarly likens her to a naive, caged bird. Wuthering Heights often scared Catherine, as ever since she was a child, she was terrified of the dark of the manor and the ghost of her mother she saw wandering the halls. Despite this, her temperament remained lively: Heathcliff often notes her to be impatient and fiery, and describes her as a calamity.

In time, Catherine developed a colder, pragmatic way of thinking. Despite her feelings for Heathcliff, she believed that by marrying while still under her brother's control they would not have the means to live. She instead began considering marrying Linton Edgar for the advantages the union would bring, such as the financial means to help Heathcliff and live comfortably. After his departure and her interactions with the Mirror Worlds, despite having realized that Linton carried no true love for her, she still asked for his hand in order to carry on with her alternate self's plan to give up her life. This, together with the events tied to the creation of the laboratory, show her as willful and ruthless in realizing her goals, but also quite shortsighted, not having considered the possibility of Hermann having ulterior motives in facilitating the experiment.

Catherine also carried a vulnerable, emotional side to her, as shown by the rapid decline of her health after Heathcliff's departure, as she worried of what his fate might be without anyone to help him, and felt deeply hurt over his perceived indifference towards her. Catherine speaks of having felt all of Heathcliff's pain during their time together, and she was heartbroken and wrecked by guilt upon hearing her alternate self's claim that she had always been the cause of his misery. Catherine kept this side of her closely guarded, often hiding behind riddles and only admitting to the truth in her diary.

It is through the diary that Catherine communicates with the outside world during the events of Canto VI, using it to reach for Heathcliff as he falls into Distortion, and later upon Nelly's betrayal, making use of their shared memories to convey her love for him. Catherine explicitly confesses to Dante to having always been dishonest with her feelings for the people she cared for, never being brave enough to admit to them, and growing angry at those who misunderstood her; but eventually, inspired by Heathcliff's courage in admitting his love for her, finally manages to do the same, and she departs peacefully, as both of them feel their hearts have been reunited.

Heathcliff wears a formal suit in the style of T Corp., composed of a white shirt underneath a red vest and a blue overcoat with red lapels, both decorated with golden trimmings, a white cravat and dark suit pants and boots. His hair has been combed back and tied into a low ponytail.

Heathcliff is an exceptionally short-tempered and abrasive individual, electing violence as a first resort, and aggression as a way of life. He is overly impulsive and quick to anger, with consequences for those involved. However, over the course of several Cantos, a considerably calmer, more considerate, and selfless side of his personality would come to light.

After he left home, he went to work for the Limbus Company.

Heathcliff is a tall and well-built man with messy dark brown hair parted on the right side of his head. He possesses sharp, glaring eyes that are a dark shade of purple, and slit pupils. His eyebrows are the same shade as his hair and are both slit, his right eyebrow having two slits and his left just one. He has a dark complexion with a number of scars littering his arms and going all the way up to his cheeks.

His work uniform lacks the typical long black leather jacket, instead including a holster which is strapped around his chest and shoulders, with his employee card hanging below his right breast. The sleeves of his Limbus Company white shirt are rolled up to his elbows. He wears a red tie, black suit pants with a black waist belt and dark gray shoes.

His weapon of choice is a long metal bat with bandages wrapped around the handle and the word "REVENGE" written in sharp letters on the barrel, which Heathcliff holds in his right hand and rests over his shoulder.

Nelly is an olive-skinned woman with long brown hair and golden-brown eyes. She wears the uniform common of the female Edgar Family Butlers, consisting of an ankle-length black dress and a white apron. Her dress is decorated with a silver crest at the collar, and her hair is tied in a high ponytail and adorned by a frilly white headband.

Nelly is always seen carrying a large brown suitcase slung over her right shoulder, where she carries her combat cutlery.

An extremely competent high-ranking Fixer in service of the Edgar family, Nelly is initially shown to be a very kind and understanding ally to the Sinners, accompanying them around Wuthering Heights as a guide. She is one of the few associated members of the manor who did not carry any personal ill will towards Heathcliff, yet was still coerced into some level of abuse by Hindley demanding her to neglect his care, showing she is fiercely loyal to her role as Butler.

She burned all the letters Heathcliff sent to Catherine, but she told Catherine that no letters arrived. She hid it from her, pretending that Heathcliff had completely given up on Catherine

Mr. Earnshaw is a tall man bearing a great resemblance to his biological children. He has short, parted, hair and a small goatee beard. He is shown wearing a brown dress shirt with a darker cravat.

Mr. Earnshaw appears to be a kind man, sympathetic to the children struggling to survive in the Backstreets and is the type of father to always bring presents back for his children when he goes out on trips.

It is revealed that he may not have been as great a father as he is presented to be in memory, having strongly taken a greater interest in Heathcliff and favoring him over his own son.

Story:

While out on a trip, Mr. Earnshaw came across a young Heathcliff, who he believed to be close to death given the terrible weather, choosing to bring the boy back to Wuthering Heights. His children complained about the fact their father brought home this strange boy rather than the presents he had promised them, so he explained to them the fact that Heathcliff had no parents or home of his own and that he would be living here with them from now on. While Hindley continued to be resistant to the idea of the other boy living with them, Catherine started to show interest in Heathcliff. Mr. Earnshaw grew to favor Heathcliff over Hindley, something that would spark Hindley's rage against the orphan.

At some point, Mr. Earnshaw passed away and Wuthering Heights was passed on to his son Hindley.

Hindley is a sturdily built man with a reddish face and dirty blond hair and a short, unkempt, stubbly beard. He wears a striped brown coat, dark trousers, and light blue vest over a white shirt, all appearing threadbare and dirty. Hindley also wears a black gloves, one of which is shown to be missing a finger, and he carries a black cane and a timepiece in his left coat pocket, as is customary for all T Corp. residents.

Hindley is an impulsive and spiteful man, known to carry grudges. As a result of his father's preference for Heathcliff and neglect of him during childhood, Hindley adopted an attitude of superiority; even during adulthood, he enjoys flaunting his wealth and power over others, verbally degrading them and using physical violence with those he believes to be beneath him and whom he knows cannot defend themselves. On top of this, he remains unsatisfied with his position of social and financial privilege, instead always viewing himself as a victim of injustice.

Linton is a pale man with a gloomy expression and short pale blond hair that stops just above his ears. He wears a long black overcoat atop a black vest and white button-up shirt, with a black necktie. He wears dark trousers and shoes. In his vest pocket, he carries a timepiece, customary of most T Corp. citizens.

Linton keeps a quiet and polite front, befitting of his high status. He prefers to avoid getting involved in discussions and looks down upon those who do, giving the appearance of a detached and composed personality.

Beneath this exterior, Linton possesses an envious and cruel side. Ever since he was a child, during his visits to Wuthering Heights, he would think of ways to humiliate Heathcliff and get him in trouble, such as belittling his looks and lower social standing, insulting him purposefully to push Heathcliff into retaliating, something he knew Heathcliff would then receive harsh physical punishment for. Linton's behavior of superiority stems in some capacity from insecurity, as Linton carried a deep jealousy of Catherine's affection for Heathcliff throughout his life. Similarly, during their reunion at the manor Linton continues to provoke Heathcliff by boasting about his role as Catherine's husband by law and the happy life they shared, which he later is forced to admit was a lie.

Linton always felt a strong attachment to Catherine, having fallen for her upon their first meeting. Catherine mentions that Linton's smile would flash for no one other than her, and that there was nothing he found happiness in outside of her. Through their youth and the decline of her health, all the way to her death Linton's feelings for her were blind to everything: Linton appears to know little about her, not knowing details such as her favorite flower or where she kept her diary, and to never feel the need to speak to her openly, agreeing to her sudden marriage proposal after her months of delirium and suicidal ideation, and following her every request.

Josephine has the appearance of an old woman with long, knotted black-and-graying hair pushed out of her face. She wears a monocle over her right eye, and dons a brown suit customary of Wuthering Heights Butlers, with a ribbon around her neck and the cameo of a woman's face (presumably Mrs. Earnshaw) on her left lapel. On her left arm, she carries a white cloth.

Josephine is an erratic woman who frequently falls into fits of what seems to be madness, ranting about the late mistress of the house as if she were still present. Despite this, she is fiercely loyal and looks down upon those around her, talking down to Nelly and frequently outwardly disagreeing with the current state of the manor, seeing it as a former shadow of itself.

Wuthering Heights is the ancestral home of the Earnshaw family, which used to belong to Mr. Earnshaw before being inherited by his son Hindley. After Hindley lost the house in a card game against a Syndicate member, the house was bought by his sister Catherine and her husband Linton Edgar.

Wuthering Heights is located on top of a hill in the Nest of District 20, where it's always been subject to extremely windy weather. The estate is surrounded by tall metal fences, and it includes a forest, as well as a portion of moorland covered in flowering heath, which retains its violet color all throughout the year. The manor appears to have a minimum of four stories plus a large basement, as well as a barn separate from the main building. On the first floor is the main hall, the kitchens, the fireplace area and entrance to the basement, while Catherine's room is located on the third floor. On the side of the manor opposite of the entrance rises a tall tower with a spiral staircase that leads up to the large rooftop.

The interior of the house is decorated by a number of lanterns that partially restore color, although the house retains a gloomy appearance.
