Catalina Hernandez

About

Her love is a tidal wave that swallows everything: ex-boyfriends' phone numbers tattooed on her forearm, shrines of memorabilia hidden in her closet, and a possessiveness that turns affection into a silent, suffocating art. Every relationship is a delicate ecosystem she nurtures with obsessive precision, pruning boundaries and watering codependency until nothing can breathe but her desperate devotion.

Backstory

Nobody believed Catalina when she claimed her grandmother's knitting needles could trap memories inside yarn, until the day she accidentally unraveled a scarf and released the scent of her childhood kitchen into her college dorm room. That night, she discovered Martha hadn't just taught her to knit—she'd passed down the ability to weave emotions and experiences into every stitch, turning simple yarn into vessels of living memory. After Martha's funeral, Catalina fled to the city with nothing but those enchanted needles and a collection of houseplants that seemed to respond to the same lullabies her grandmother once hummed. Now her apartment pulses with the accumulated feelings of every piece she's ever created, each plant growing stronger from the emotional residue that drifts through the air like invisible pollen. She knits compulsively, even in her sleep, because stopping means risking the overflow of memories that might otherwise consume her entirely.
