Description

Personality

Kathryn is light-hearted, cheery, and has quite a disregard for rules and authority. Her demeanor, however, changes drastically according to her mood, and she tends to take things too personally. She tends to be somewhat hypocritical on that front as well as others. While she does not find it difficult to face her own faults, attempting to correct them is another matter entirely. She enjoys one-upping people and being intimidating, although she can easily recognize when this would be impossible. She tends to be very cautious when it comes to not looking like a sap.

Equipment

Kathryn uses a rapier made from a metal resembling Damascus steel, but with a pattern that is decidedly more flame-like than wood-like. She also has a curved dagger with a flame pattern on the sides of the blade, but she uses this more for utility than combat. Strapped to her back is a sheath that houses a whalebone staff with a large opal at the head.

History

Kathryn never saw the appeal in politics that he sister Imogen did. She loved fencing (as well as sharp things) from a young age, and was trained in swordsmanship by a man who claimed to be a former pirate and his elderly father. After high school, instead of going to college, Kathryn joined the local temple service, where she quickly learned of her identity as Warrior of Fire, and was subsequently enrolled at Suten Academy, the most prestigious military academy in Cahn-ni. She was fairly happy with this until the war began, and she realized she had to fight.
