When she was Queen she always made it in a up-style but now as a housewife she just wears it anyway she wants. She wears any dress she likes, being normal again she has freedom of choice to wear what she likes. Her skin is pale, because she has no blood to make it fresh and pink, because she is a vampire. Being a bitten vampire she has fangs but not outrageous ones, normal looking ones.
She has long slender legs, and her body is still in beautiful condition, even though she had had a child. She has long fingers, but not awkward long just a bit longer than normal women. She wears a size 6 shoe and she always wears gloves. As that became a habit in the palace she now struggles to break that habit. She has long finger nails, which turned black due to vampirism. She has lime green eyes that compliments her hair perfectly.

In depth
Family: Mother: Isabella of Castile - deceased Father: Ferdinand the second of Aragon - deceased Sisters: Joanna of Aragon - deceased Maria of Aragon - deceased Ex- husband: King Henry the 7th
Personality: She is extremely pious, and would often attend Mass and seclude herself in prayer. Sometimes Catherine even wore hairshirts in case she had secretly sinned and/or offended God. Catherine also displayed great courage when tragedy and problems would arise. Catherine is also highly intelligent and a skilled strategist as she was left Queen Regent of England when Henry VII set off to invade France. Catherine was also known for her graciousness, her compassion and her charm - duly noted when the King's Great Matter came into full swing as the majority of the people were in her favor. She was also rather reserved - a stark contrast and sometimes foil to her younger and more outgoing husband.
As was to be expected from a queen and a former Infanta (princess) of Spain, Catherine exbihited pride and stubbornly clung to her title as Queen when King Henry tried to remove her. Catherine was also what one could call a romantic - and a blind one at that. She fervently loved her husband despite his reputation for being unfaithful and she refused to hold him at fault during the King's Great Matter
History: Born on 16th December she was a wonderful surprise to her family, being the youngest of three sisters she were also the youngest. She was a wonderful addition to her family, everyone was happy when they her her mother was pregnant again. She was a miracle child, her mother being infertile for a long time.
At the age of three, Catherine was betrothed to Prince Arthur, heir to the English throne, and they married in 1501, but Arthur died five months later. Catherine subsequently married Arthur's younger brother, the recently-succeeded Henry VIII, in 1509.
At an early age, Catherine was considered a suitable wife for Arthur, Prince of Wales, the eldest son of Henry VII of England and heir to the throne, due to the English ancestry she inherited from her mother Queen Isabella I of Castile. By means of her mother, Catherine had a stronger legitimate claim to the English throne than King Henry VII himself through the first two wives of John of Gaunt, 1st Duke of Lancaster: Blanche of Lancaster and the Spanish Infanta Constance of Castile. In contrast, Henry VII was the descendant of Gaunt's third marriage to Katherine Swynford, whose children were born out of wedlock and only legitimised after the death of Constance and the marriage of John to Katherine. The children of John and Katherine, while legitimised, were barred from ever inheriting the English throne, a stricture that was ignored in later generations. Because of Henry's descent through illegitimate children barred from succession to the English throne, the Tudor monarchy was not accepted by all European kingdoms. At the time, the house of Trastámara was the most prestigious in Europe. When they got married Henry bit Katherine in hope to let her give birth finally to an heir.
She married Henry and she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, however Henry wanted a boy to let his legacy lived on he divorced her.
