Biography[]
Early life[]
Catalina was born into a family of artists. She was very famous as a child, having participated in commercials and appeared on television, with her career being probably managed by her mother. However, when she grew up, everyone forgot about her, and Catalina was rejected by her mother, causing her to hold grudge. Her mother enrolled her at Bravo in Colombia. She wants Isa to suffer the same as she suffers.
Isa TK+[]
After her success as a singer, the protagonist Isa Pasquali and her friends start at a new school in Colombia. Catalina, who is secretly in love with Isa's boyfriend Alex Ruiz, approaches Isa faking a sincere attempt to become friends, while in reality she wants to harm Isa's career to drive her away from Alex. At chapter 2, it is mentioned that Catalina's mother is a woman who travels the world and doesn't spend much time with her daughter, which possibly explains Catalina's evil personality.
Catalina allies with Cristina Ricalde for a certain time, but in chapter 39 this allegiance is broken because Cristina didn't respect her. Catalina avenges herself in the next chapter by making Cristina go expelled.
Catalina reveals her true identity to Isa in chapter 59, saying that she is happy that Isa had lost her contract, her friends and Alex. In chapter 62, by means of blackmailing, she manages to eliminate Isa's fan club and create one for her instead.
Near the end of the series, Cristina allies with Isa as part of a plan to get her revenge on Catalina. The plan succeeds and, in the last chapter, Catalina is sent to another school where she undergoes severe disciplinary punishment.
