Catfolk become adults at 15. How old is your character?

16

She'll need to be older to account for the training time to learn her class, travel time to the campaign region, and the time she spent in the campaign region to allow for meeting, befriending, and working with the party.

You're looking at a minimum of ~5 years for all of that.

OK, 20, almost 21

Choose your Swashbuckler's Style

Battledancer APG p84
To you, a fight is a kind of performance art, and you
command your foes’ attention with mesmerizing motions.
You are trained in Performance and gain the Fascinating
Performance skill feat (Core Rulebook 261). You gain
panache during an encounter when the result of your
Performance check to Perform exceeds the Will DC of an
observing foe, even if the foe isn’t fascinated.

Pick 5 skills to be Trained in.

From Catfolk:
ABILITY BOOSTS
Dexterity
Charisma
(STRength)
ABILITY FLAW
Wisdom

From Cook:
Choose two ability boosts.
One must be to Constitution or Intelligence,
and one is a free ability boost. DEXterity

Fascinating Performance skill feat
 (Level 1)
 GENERAL SKILL
 Prerequisites: trained in Performance
 When you Perform, compare your result to the Will DC of one observer.
 If you succeed, the target is fascinated by you for 1 round.
 If the observer is in a situation that demands immediate attention, such as combat, you must critically succeed to fascinate it and the Perform
 action gains the incapacitation trait.
 You must choose which creature you’re trying to fascinate before you roll your check, and the target is then temporarily immune for 1 hour.
 If you’re an expert in Performance, you can fascinate up to four observers; if you’re a master, you can fascinate up to 10 observers; and if
 you’re legendary, you can fascinate any number of observers at the same time.

Seasoned skill feat
 Seasoned (Level 1)
 Prereq: Trained in Alcohol Lore, Cooking Lore, or Crafting
 +1 to Craft food and drink, including potions

Taking:
FOCUSED FASCINATION FEAT 1
SWASHBUCKLER
Prerequisites Fascinating Performance
When you use Fascinating Performance in a combat encounter, you need only a success, rather than a critical success, to fascinate your target. This works only if you’re attempting to fascinate one target. For example, if you were an expert in Performance, you could choose to target multiple creatures normally or target one creature and fascinate it on a success

Fascinated
You are compelled to focus your attention on something, distracting you from whatever else is going on around you. You take a –2 status penalty to Perception and skill checks, and you can’t use actions with the concentrate trait unless they or their intended consequences are related to the subject of your fascination (as determined by the GM). For instance, you might be able to Seek and Recall Knowledge about the subject, but you likely couldn’t cast a spell targeting a different creature. This condition ends if a creature uses hostile actions against you or any of your allies

background (w.i.p.)
Father (Khafif al-Tariq) is an archaeologist.
He has a love for the ancient, the unusual, the strange.
Samara inherited part of his love and passion. She has family from elsewhere, dozens of uncles and cousins that she has heard fantastic stories and tales about, but all she has known is following her archaeologist father with her immediate family.
The last couple of years, her interests, and maybe the influence of some of the items that she has acquired or learned about and studied with her father, have led her to a position of being present at Lepistadt
She struck out on her own, making a living here entertaining and telling fortunes, so she can study at uni to investigate why many of her predictions actually come true... and fighting, of course.
