(Original) Character Summary
Originally known as “Jinny,” whose real name isn’t known in episode 1, is a serial killer. It isn’t 100% clear why, but it seems she doesn’t kill at random but has specific targets in mind. From the two cases we see, it seems her weapon of choice is fentanyl or other mixes, which makes it look like someone overdosed rather than her truly having to get her hands dirty.
Season 1 Update
Catherine is someone who was dealt a bad hand, and by her teenage years, she found herself coerced into human trafficking, with a man named Adrian being her pimp. Eventually, she was able to gain her autonomy, and tried to live a normal life and even take care of Elena. However, past trauma, both mental and physical, like lacking feeling in her fingertips, made it difficult for her to take care of herself, never mind another human being.
