Cat Chandler is an NYPD police detective whose mother, Vanessa Chandler, worked on a secret government project that brought her into contact with a beast when her mother was murdered.

That beast, Vincent Keller, followed Cat for years until she discovered him while looking into the murder of her mother. She fell in love with the beast, and Vincent and his friend J.T. Forbes helped Cat and her partner Tess Vargas solve crimes before Vincent was kidnapped by Cat's birth father and had his memory erased.

At the beginning of Beauty and the Beast Season 2, Cat found Vincent and she and her friends have been working to help him find his memory and cure him of his beastliness, as Cat was able to do with another beast, Gabe Lowen, who is now working with them as the new police chief.

Cat learned her father, Thomas, was not her birth father but does not know Vincent is working for him. Her sister Heather took a job in Florida, leaving Cat with only her friends to rely on.

Cat has had moments of doubt about her future with Vincent, but has never stopped loving him.

Beauty and the Beast Quotes

Vargas:This is where he lives? A chemical plant?
Cat: He's a researcher, maybe he works from home?
Vargas: Or maybe it's a meth lab.
Cat: Just my type.

Everyone told me it was just a coyote or a bear. This thing I thought I had seen was just a result of my concussion or post traumatic stress. No, the men who killed my mother were beasts. I believed them. Until now.
