History
Catharijne van der Westhuizen was born in Alphen aan den Rijn, Netherlands to a Dutch father, IJsbrand van der Westhuizen, and a Indonesian mother, Sinta van Beers. She was influenced by her cousin on her mother's side, Eddie Van Halen, as well as the Spice Girls.

She grew up in Manhattan, New York City in the United States, and holds multiple citizenship with the Netherlands, Indonesia, and the United States. Her favorite cartoon is Sagwa, the Chinese Siamese Cat, and she has a tattoo of Sheegwa on her left arm.

Cathy joined 7even in 2016 via auditions in Uniondale, New York, being dubbed as the "nerd" of the group by the fandom. The reason for this is because she wears reading glasses most of the time and enjoys watching the aforementioned Sagwa.
