## Background

Katya is the only child and daughter of Viggo Grimborn and Kelda Oliversen, the timing unknown. Despite her birth, Viggo did claim her as his daughter, thus giving Brynjar a younger sister, and later, Runa an older sister.

Like her father, Katya prefers to observe and then make a move, which helps her bond with her younger half-sister, Runa. Like her siblings and cousins, Katya was taught how to fight and defend herself should she get separated from them. Katya is very proud of her family, even if one side is into dragon hunting, she knows it's for the sake of their tribe, keeping them alive. She will easily jump in to defend or protect her family no matter the case.

As an heiress, she is well aware as one of Viggo's daughters, she is eligible to be married to another heir for an alliance for example. Katya bonded to a female Razorwhip who had crashed landed on their island, injuring her wing to the point it was hard for her to fly. With help from another tribe, after bonding with Silverthorn–whom she had named–Katya was able to help her fly again.
