==Background==
Katherine was a rising star in the New Orleans art world. As an opera singer, she only expected her career to improve as she aged, and she only was only just beginning. The young vampire Tristan had other ideas. He couldn't compete with the older and more powerful  Marguerite, Accou's other progeny. He chose the other path available to him: embracing art. With Katherine as his get, he could distract Accou's attention.
Tristan was clumsy with the embrace, and Katherine found the experience terrifying. Nervously, Tristan presented her to Accou, unsure of how the neonate or the Prince would react. As if in a dream Katherine sang as if her life depended on it, unaware that perhaps it did. Her talent came through, and Accou was charmed by her voice.
Accou took Katherine under his wing, showing her off to the other vampires of the city. Marguerite was livid, but there was little she could do. For his part, Tristan did not enjoy his victory long. He was one of the first vampires to fall to the Hunter Nathaniel Bordruff. Accou taught Katherine of the joys of unlife. Her voice would never fail, only increase in beauty. Her art would be eternal.
As Katherine grew older, she began to see kinks in her shining savior's armor. As Accou became more isolated during the 30's, she lost faith in him. His ploy of playing at being the prince's Lieutenant was the final straw for her. He was ridiculous, and she would rely on him no longer. She had met other Toreador from other city's, and felt that her grasp of art was greater than Accou's.
Katherine established herself as the premier Artiste of New Orleans, and her reputation was made outside the city as well. She had a greater knowledge of classical arts than any other kindred in the city. Her judgement in those matter was considered supreme, and in a clan of Artistes, this gave her considerable influence. Her chief rival was Marguerite, whom she considers a low-born trollop. She didn'tt understand the unreasoning hatred the woman seems to hold for her.
After the loss of Accou and the return of Alejandro, Katherine began looking for a way to avenge his death and to finally aquire the power she longed for. When Sigmund Marley approached her at her lowest moments, he worked on her insecurities. Gradually he corrupted her wioth plans of converting her to the Baali. Katherine met final death on March 8th, 2011 at the hands of Harvey Stewart.
