Appearance:
Gender: Female
Profession: Battleschool - Knight of the Silver Unicorn
Appearance:
Katrina is about 5' 11" with deep auburn hair that goes down to her shoulder blades and green eyes. She is well muscled after her years training in the Battleschool and keeps herself very fit.Personality:
She wears black and silver outfits most of the time, except when at festive occasions at the Royal Court or at Baronial Court functions. Her armor breastplate is distinctively shaped to distract her opponents with her female form. She wears her armor most of the time, even sometimes sleeps in it so that she is completely comfortable in it when it comes to fighting.
The armor is black boiled leather with silver plates, silver elbow and knee cops and a black Basinet type helm with silver accents and silver unicorn's etched into the sides of the helm. Her breastplate also has a unicorn etched into the silver plates, filled in with black.
She carries a shield with a charging silver unicorn on it, which is the coat of arms she was granted when she was knighted. She uses a longsword most of the time, but is also skilled with two shortswords, a two-handed great sword, a lance and a spear.
Katrina is a very reserved person. She does not make friends easily and so only has a very small group of close friends, most of whom are knights near her own age. She doesn't care much for socializing and avoids people outside the Battleschool generally. She takes her job seriously, a little too seriously actually, but is very good at it.History:
She likes to intimidate men, especially the normally large, muscle types in the Battleschool. She has a strange sense of humor that most people just don't get.
Being one of very few women to go through Battleschool and become a knight, she learned to be tough and to act like and blend in with the men though she likes to flaunt her femininity on the battlefield because it gives her an edge.
Women at court tend to shun her and most men find her strange, so she does not normally elicit much interest from the opposite sex. That suits her just fine, since she feels that she will never get married or have children. That is not to say she does not enjoy male company, but she tends to be very cavalier with her relationships, not wanting to get any more involved than a few "tumbles in the hay", which is another reason that she is not considered to be of "marriageable quality." That attitude of other people towards her amuses her greatly.
Katrina was an only child and had the misfortune to be born a girl when her father wanted a son. He therefore raised her as if she were a boy, despite her mother's protests.Additional Information:
She managed to convince her father at an early age that she wanted to become a knight, so he paid an excessive amount of money for her to begin training at age 9 as a page and then moved up to squire at the early age of 12, after already learning the basics of swordplay and riding.
She was knighted in Norgate at the age of 17 after rescuing a group of men-at-arms and three other knights who were pinned down and cut off from the rest of the army in a particularly nasty battle with the Scotti.
She got the charging Unicorn as her device because of the ferocity of her charge in that battle and because she did not give up until she had opened up an avenue for them to escape.
She has a reputation of being fearless, but what she fears most is letting her guard down with other people and making herself vulnerable.
Battle horse: Katrina rides a large white Battlehorse mare that has two black socks on her back legs and a black diamond shaped star on her forehead. Her horse's name is Ace of Diamonds, or "Ace" for short.
