Vicious and pronounced scars all on her back. Every time she's asked how she got them, she gives a different story. Some sound believable ("I was attacked by wild beast") and others more farfetched ("I messed with a duck. It had a knife")

Although she's described as immature and bratty at times, that doesn't stop her from being a bratty and immature adult woman with the power to teleport vital organs outside of a person's body by blinking.
People underestimate her so, so much simply because she says some very out of place things like 'cars' or 'toilets' or some other completely made up phantasmal nonsense. She opens up best with Kiev and Crefus.

'All Magic'
This is a mysterious aspect of Cate as Necrotzen may only show mastery over one or few types of magic, but to show proficiency in multiple is puzzling and strange. Luckily, not that many people know this about her. Cate herself can't explain this and finds it just as confounding as everyone else.

Although she commands all magic, Cate has shown to be very sloppy with it and is quite immature and irresponsible with such power. She does not hurt others, rather, she hurts herself, involving all aspects of herself to figure out the limits of her abilities. This includes performing near fatal experiments on herself that include the near destruction of her body, mind, soul, and most alarmingly, her existence. Luckily her friends are there to literally smack her over the head with a lead pipe and scream at her as to why self-experimentation is bad.

According to Cate, she learned all of her magic from a special book that belonged to her mother. After she ran away from home, that book was the only thing she brought with her (she was 9 and forgot food was important) and as a result, grew up doing nothing but reading about magic and learning magic. This most likely what led to her incredible prowess over all forms of magic...

She was very close to her mother and dearly loved her father. One day, her mother unexpectedly disappeared without a trace. To make matters worse, everyone, except Hecate and her father, had apparently forgotten who her mother was, even if they had known her for years.

Then to make matters worse, her father didn't come home. She waited for nearly a month, but he never showed up. Hecate has been abandoned. As a result, she broke down and ran away from home, leaving her home and her past. She grew up on the streets with only her mother's book and learned the rest of witchcraft from there. Although not necessarily evil, she was cruel and uncaring towards anyone she met to the point of ripping out a blind man's eye for an alchemical formula (granted, he was an assassin sent to kill her but still savage af). Cate developed a reputation as a notorious witch who could kill anyone with her gaze. Her happy-go-lucky personality wouldn't develop until she met Liz and Jess. At this time, she was a feared witch who commanded the Black Hound and tore her enemies and adversaries to shreds.

She has a natural gift with magic and effortlessly communicates with ancient beings called Spirits. One of these Spirits made a contract with her to become her familiar, so now she has the personification of fear and misery as her best friend. She later met her two most trusted friends, Jessebelle and Elizabeth, and currently lives with them in a cave deep within the forest, which lands her near main characters and future friends, Crefus and Vincent.

She didn't have proper schooling since her only source of knowledge was her parents. After a certain event, she quickly adapted to street smarts and knew how to talk to people to mostly push their buttons. She has extensive knowledge and understanding of magic from one simple journal. Meeting Elizabeth only furthered her well of knowledge and made her an incredibly proficient and powerful witch.

Does Kiev count?

Independent woman who don't need no man! Except maybe her father cause he was basically 80% of her impulse control.
