History

Katya was born on the Summer Estate of Dragon Lord Spectre in the mountains of the North. Her Father was first ranger of the estate but was murdered in front of her when she 17 after a new regent, Master Funaki, took over the estate. She fled to the mountains and hid with her uncle Mikhail, who promised her revenge, until he kicked her out a year later. She returned in time to see her mother die of a mystery illness and was forced to take care of her little sister, Prim. Some months later she was trapped in the forest while hunting by Master Funaki, he and his men had their way with her. After he was done Funaki confessed he was also responsible for the death of her mother and threw both Katya and her sister in chains of slavery. Before they could be delievered to his lands on the Blessed Isle the slave caravan was attacked by Kai Gaidan's Ice Walkers. During the attack a group of Ice Walkers travelling with Kai's group abducted and most likely murdered her sister.

Katya exhaulted moments before Kai Gaidan raided the slave caravan she was in. Breaking free during the attack she began to search for her sister but was accosted by Kai and his Ice Walkers. Subdueing her after a brief skirmish she was forced to watch as another Ice Walker stole away with her little sister, never to be seen of again. After calming down she agreed to accompany Kai's band, helping to recruit new members while slowly convincing some to assist in her revenge against the Dragon Bloods.

Recent Events

Katya is not to happy with the circle at the moment, her trust and faith waning after they shattered her sword "Fang" among other events. After the fall/ capture/liberation of Jurnoth she quickly left in a foul humour to return to Dunsinane and the Tribe of the Wolf, with few words to her comrades. Along with her she took several key individuals to help the tribe and make it stronger.

Hunting - Katya loves hunting, being able to forget everything or push it aside for a time while she stalks her prey in isolation from the world. It brings back fond memories of her youth and revives her connection to her lost family.

Excess in food and comfort - Katya has gone without for most of her life. Often cold and hungry in her youth due to her father's excessive charity she refuses to go back to that existence. Katya does not dream of much, but a warm, safe place with an abundant food source is one of her dreams. Anything more than that is just gravy.

Revenge - Hate is what keeps Katya warm at night and she yearns before all else to have her revenge upon the Master Funaki and everyone else who has wronged her.

Plays

The Plays and songs Katya can remember from her childhood so far.

Classics:

Henry the Lunar: A play focusing around three exalts, a Lunar and two Zenith Solar lovers. The play shows the beginning decline of the Solar and Lunar exalts and the rise of the Dragon Bloods. The Solar Richard becomes melancholic after a great victory against a previous enemy, driving his lover, Lillith, into the arms of the Lunar, Henry. This causes Richard to become even more withdrawn and darker to the point he attempts to kill Henry and Lillith leaves him completely.

The Dragon Bloods still allow this play to be performed up to this day with only minor revisions. The revisions mainly concerns the adding of scenes involving Dragon Blood heroes who appear in later plays. In one such scene a Dragon Blood protects a young girl from the ravishing of Richard while other versions demonise the Solars and Lunars more. In certain regions Lillith is shown as wanton creature who beds animals and Henry in beastman form, women convicted of unchaste or lewd behaviour are forced to play this role as punishment.

Richard the Solar: A play about the Zenith Solar Richard's final fall into madness and sequel to Henry the Lunar. The play begins with Richard devising and hatching his plans to get Lillith back and seize power over the land, while a group of Dragon Bloods plan his downfall. Richard has Henry imprisoned and murdered, courts Lillith and takes her when she goes to bury Henry before discarding her scenes later to seize power over the city. After he seizes power the Dragon Bloods rise up and defeat Richard in battle, but not before he burns the city to the ground.

This play remains almost unchanged from its original form due to its portrayal of the Anathema. Slights revisions to remove references to Dragon Bloods helping Richard's early schemes have been made. This is one of the more popular classic plays performed by this unknown writer.

Sun, Moon and Earth/ Dick Dragon Blood: Originally the prequel to Henry the Lunar this play showed the three Heroes defeat a demon host and build and great city. The play has been heavily, and crudely, revised by a Dragon Blood playwright to be a sequel or expanded ending to Richard. The heroes are renamed Dick Dragon Blood, Harry of the Ice and Lenore of the Woods, the three Dragon Bloods who rise up and defeat Richard. The revision also shows a humiliating end to Lillith whose death is never mentioned in the previous play.

This play is seldom performed in its original forms and texts are very hard to come by. Producers, actors and theatres trying to perform the original are often attacked or go bankrupt shortly after.

Songs (Classic):

[1] Lilium: Lyrics (Latin/ Old Realm :) )

Os justi Meditabitur sapientiam

Et lingua ejus Loquetur judicium

Beatus vir qui Suffert tentationem

Quoniam cum probates fuerit Accipiet coronam vitae

Kyrie, Ignis Divine, eleison

O quam Sancta

Quam Serena

Quam Benigna

Quam Amoena

O Castitatis Lilium (Choir)

Sky Tongue/ English tranlations:

The mouth of the just shall meditate wisdom'

And his tongue shall speak judgement

Blessed the man who resists temptation

Since he, with striving, shall recieve the crown of life

Lord, fire divine, have mercy

Oh how sacred,

How serene,

How kind,

How lovely,

Oh, lily of chastity

Land of bear and land of eagle

Land that gave us birth and blessing

Land that called us ever homewards
