Catherine Chandler : Beauty and the Beast : Badass Character of the Week

                                                     .

Cat is the wonderful protagonist on ‘Beauty and the Beast’; she’s smart, driven, confident and has more walls up around her heart than a French castle.  Over the course of the season she’s been slowly letting Vincent into her heart, learning to love and trust others (and herself) in a new way. 

                                                    .

And this week Vincent broke that trust.  He’s reconnected with his fiance from a decade ago - the woman he was going to spend his life with before he became a mutant science experiment of the US government. Its a good storyline and a necessary experience for Vincent to go through. And I like Alex. But while he was off, experiencing  "real life" like he used to, he and Alex were pretty much arrested for trespassing. Unable to give his name to the police officer, Vincent called Cat to help get him out of this situation. 

                                                    .

And Cat showed up. Because that’s who she is. She’s the type of person who keeps her promises and will always be there for her friends; always there to do her job. But she was royally pissed off with Vincent - and rightfully so. Cat has given up a lot for him; keeping his secret has required her to lie, cheat, steal and break the very laws she’s sworn to uphold. But she’s done so willingly - Cat jumped in this rabbit hole aware of what she was getting into. She’s made peace with herself for her actions and choices…..until now. 

                                                    .

With Vincent’s pretty much complete disregard for her, her feelings and the risks she’s taken for him, Cat let him have it. She tells him right to his face that its not okay; that everything she’s risked - and everything JT has risked - makes his actions completely selfish and wrong. She tells him to pretty much get over himself and get his shit together. 

                                                    .

And that is why Catherine Chandler is my Badass Character of the Week. For unwavering   confidence and standing up for herself. She didn’t fall victim to the blame-the-other-woman trope and she didn’t let Vincent take advantage of her and treat her with disregard. She set boundaries. She said it was not okay how he treated her. Cat wants to be with Vincent, but she’s not willing to be with him at the sacrifice of who she is. She decides that even if he doesn’t want to be with her, he better not ruin her life by exposing her. And thats pretty damn badass.

_{Beauty and the Beast  |  Vincent & Catherine}

I need to do this for myself.

_{Beauty and the Beast  | Vincent  & Catherine}

_{we have lived in fear, and our fear has betrayed us · but we will overcome the apathy that has made us · because we are not alone in the dark with our demons · and we have made mistakes · but we’ve learned from them…}

_{Beauty and the Beast  | Vincent & Catherine}

_{You know you’re right for someone when they force you to be the best version of yourself.}

At the end of the day, I want to be able to fall asleep knowing that our lives are intertwined in a way only we can understand.
