Description: She is a woman of bearing and well nourished. She wears dull pastel sweaters, loose brown pants, and alligator leather shoes. Beneath her sweater she keeps a concealed bastard sword, just in case. Her moppish chestnut hair is in a traditional bowl cut. Her amber eyes dart from person to person.

Personality: Katherine wants to be seen as a stoic, levelheaded, noble Paladin, so she tries to act the part. She does a good job, for the most part... On top of that she is swayed by a pretty face, and while loyalty to her employer will always come first she doesn't like to hit women.

History: Her parents moved while she was still in utero so she is the first generation to be born here. When she was little, her rather wealthy family often ventured across the desert to a summer home near a ruined castle. She would wander through that ruined castle and adventure through it for days. One day while adventuring a terrible storm took place and she was stranded inside. Her family spent the next few days looking for her, and could only assume she was dead when it came time to leave. The family never returned to the desert due to the painful memories there. Katherine took refuge in the ruined castle and found the beat up bastard sword and armor she uses now. She now travels the world, in search of power and loot.
