Personality: Katherine is a happy girl, forthright, zealously joyful, and impromptu in her approach to life. She can sometimes come off as bubble-headed but this merely obscures a serious talent for magic. Despite her seeming obviousness at times she takes her job seriously and won't permit herself to be cheated (though a sob story might soften her mood). Katherine's disdain for planning ahead can get her into trouble. She donates frequently to the temples of Sune and Tymora. Infrequently Katherine visits Mystra's temple as a show of respect. Her greatest friend is her near opposite

Appearance: Dark of hair and skin due to her wood elven heritage Katherine is of middling height. Often on a whim she changes her hair and eye colors to vibrant hues like purple or gold. Katherine's physique speaks of her human side, rounded and firm in all the right places.

Katherine is typically garbed in a light green or blue silk robes sewn with scenes of forests and and mountains and belted at the waist. The garment is easy to shrug off to show a marvelous body scribed with elegant tattoos from foot to neck. Her dress is often backless and high on the hip to show the maximum amount of skin (and grant access to her magical tattoos). In winter she adds a overcoat of fox and boots made of white ermine.

Life: Katherine is one of those people life seems to love. A young woman of good looks she did indeed end up in the life of a whore. But as luck would have it a prosperous madame picked her up and she became popular enough as a escort due to her ,frankly, enthusiastic nature. One customer, Estranda, happened to belong to the organization of black wizards by the name of Halaster's Heirs. The two hit it off and he became a frequent patron. Out of amusement and an desire to please the girl he showed her minor magics and was stunned at how rapidly she took to it. In no time Katherine had achieved journeyman stature as a wizard. Its unknown if Estranda had anything more planned for the trusting girl since he died in Undermountain during a spell duel with a rival.

Katherine mourned and then promptly sought a way to join her talent for tattoos with her magic. Her madame recognized what Katherine could contribute to the guild and put her in charge of creating tattoos to ward off pregnancy, enhance charm, or change appearances. Despite her newly exalted position within the Guild of Golden Ladies Katherine still found time to escort favored gentlemen, both for the money and for thrills.

One evening was atypical of Katherine's nights. Her patron had become boring, the night was looking ruined, and she sought a quick escape. Heedlessly crossing the City of the Dead she ran smack into a restless shade. It had serously wounded her when she had a fainting recollection of a mighty warrior woman coming out of nowhere to save her.

Since that time Katherine had developed a genuine fondness for the half-giantess who was so unlike herself. It pleased her to make Najahri smile even if she scowled and turned away to hide it. But she is so secretive!
