Lady **Catholine Pelisika** (b. 154 - 183) is the wife to Sir Henry von Rosengart and the mother of Sir Adolf von Rosengart and Erika von Rosengart.

## Biography

Catholine was born the third daughter of the Pelisika family and the first to make it to adulthood. As a result, she had gained a melancholic nature that was uplifted by the presence of music and radio tapes. As an unremarkable girl, she was a way for the Pelisika to seek fame and fortune at a high stage.

She would attend Maserade's All Girls Academy during her teenage years where she would eventually meet Sir Henry von Rosengart at the combined ball with Martyr Varick's Military Academy. The two fell in love and ran away from the academy to spend the weekend in the Haberdeen Forest of Pretzuntif. Upon their return, he proposed to her and she willingly accepted despite the von Rosengart's objections to a woman of low status. In a depressing moment, she wrote to her mother that she would, "kill herself," if the von Rosengarts would not accept their love yet this would not come to pass as Henry managed to persuade his family.

She would marry Sir Henry von Rosengart in 171 when she was only 17 and her husband 25. She would leave her family estate and move to Rosenhall in Pretzuntif where her diary explains a feeling of alienation in the high ranking military halls that the von Rosengarts facilitated. She gave birth to her first child, Sir Adolf von Rosengart, in September the following year and took to motherhood as a way to escape the ostracization the environment bred. Henry doted greatly on his wife and, upon seeing how uncomfortable she was, decided they should move to The Capital where Henry had recently received commission as a senior officer at the city's garrison.

It was here that the couple bought 34 Dvorak Circle and lived the rest of the 170s where Catholine entertained the wives of military officers at parties at the estate. A room would be set aside for herself, accommodating her piano and a fireplace in what would be the music room. Eventually, she fell pregnant again and gave birth to Erika von Rosengart on the 4th of April 180. The birthing process was long and difficult, causing Catholine to suffer a weakened immune system and spent several months recovering at the hospital. It was during this time that she contracted tuberculosis (consumption) and her already weakened immune system became taxed against the new illness.

She returned to Pretzuntif where the clean air was intending to offer some respite to her breathing problems, yet she continue to be ostracized by the noble family. On occasions she would be visited by her offspring but these visits would be few and far between, instead remaining in her room listening to music and performing on the piano. Her health would deteriorate in the years that followed, attempting to head to the Capital to see her family in June 183 however she would pass out during a coughing fit and be bed-bound for the remaining two months. She would eventually succumb to her tuberculosis in Rosenhall and would be interred in the mausoleum beside Henry's later grave.

Destitute with grief, Henry would send his two children back to Rosenhall to be raised while he remained in the Capital. In a letter to one of his friends, Henry remarked that without Catholine, "the light has gone out of my life."
