## Background Info

Katherine grew up with her sister Helena as her only company, besides their parents. Both sisters were encouraged to explore the extensive gardens around their home from an early age, something that Katherine was far less interested in than her sister. Similarly, once Delinius and Lyka began travelling the world with the two daughters, Katherine did not enjoy the experience as much as Helena. Unlike Helena, however, she showed a profound affinity for magic teachings, rivalling or even surpassing her father's.

While Helena travelled out to practice physical combat against a variety of things, Katherine pursued the study of a wide array of subjects, whether magic practices or more 'mundane' topics like history. Occasionally, she was assisted by her mother when technology came into play. Unlike Helena, Katherine was not quite as proficient with physical weaponry, possibly as a result of her rather sedentary lifestyle. Nevertheless, she did become moderately effective in the use of short bows, in the unlikely event she would ever need to rely on such a thing.

## Appearance and Personality

She stands surprisingly tall for a woman, with long, messy hair that is an **orange-brown** not entirely unlike her father's, albeit lighter. Katherine is of a slightly slender build, something that doesn't always show beneath the several layers of clothing she tends to wear. Among these are scarves and other drapes of various colours, but invariably one article of clothing will be a colour near purple, sometimes similar to the colour of her aura.

One particularly 'lightweight' outfit that she occasionally wears consists of an **orange** vest over a **yellow** shirt that generally remains invisible. Underneath, she wears a **light orange** skirt and footwear of her choosing. In warmer environments, this will usually be a pair of simple **brown** sandals, but in colder environments she can be found in a warm pair of **brown** boots instead. As well, she has a tendency to wear a **magenta** bandanna over her hair to prevent it from springing up in all directions.

Another more common article of clothing is a long **purple** coat that she almost always wears for any temperature that is not notably warm.

Katherine appears reclusive and mostly silent towards outsiders, preferring not to speak unless necessary. Much like her father, however, she is highly observant and able to detect subtle details others may miss. When pushed to interact and speak with people she does not know, she can come across as hostile or even threatening. She does much better with small numbers of others around her and can completely retreat when forced to move in large crowds. With those that she does know well, Katherine is more at ease and willing to talk more openly and provide advice.

Despite appearing calm and level-headed, Katherine can lash out quite violently when her patience is sufficiently tested.

## Relationships

Katherine has a somewhat difficult relationship with her family members, although for different reasons.

Whenever she and Delinius speak, the two appear to engage in a battle of wits, attempting to obfuscate their exact thoughts from each other. Although Delinius insists that they talk more often, the two secretly realise that they may be too similar at times to not clash. On a few occasions, they enjoy conversations delving deep into matters of magic arts, history and Ludusian society.

Katherine does not speak to her mother Lyka that frequently. The two occasionally spend time quietly reading.

Despite appearing distant or hostile towards Helena, the two siblings are close in between their repeated bickering and sibling rivalry. While her sister's concern for her safety can tire Katherine, she appreciates the efforts of Helena in supporting her. Most importantly, they are able to discuss certain topics freely that they cannot discuss with others around them.
