*Years of Rping: 8+ years
Name: Katja
*Age: 1,394
Gender: Female
Bloodline: Nimbus
Preferred mantel (pick three): fennec fox, king cheetah, polar bear
Court Preference: Unseelie
Appearance: ((play-by Gemma Ward))
Even though she wasn't as beautiful as some of the sidhe amongst the courts, Katja was far from hideous. Even though her long hip length pale golden locks were considered 'normal,' Katja's first and probably most noticeable feature are her large vibrant eyes. With a perfect mixture of colors, they appear as electric blue orbs.
Standing at only 5'8, she wasn't the tallest in Alanor either. Her graceful build, golden tanned skin, pouty lips, and delicate features all added together in her favor. She may not be the fairest in all the land, but she was sure far from ugly. Preferring to wear strange and usual clothing, Katja's wardrobe tends to have a mind of its own so she will wearing anything and everything she deems acceptable.
Personality: Despite her appearance, Katja is a cautious and often time bitter woman. Unless you give her a reason not to be, she can be easy enough to talk to however she is easily irritated and prone to sarcastic comments and acid remarks. Defensive by nature, it can almost be impossible to get a straight answer out of her unless she wishes you to know.
When not irritated or given a reason to be defensive and cautious, she can almost be pleasant to talk to. Almost in that she is open minded, blunt and isn't afraid to speak her mind. Even though she'd rather keep to herself, she is not a completely anti-social person. She hates large amounts of people however and avoids groups of more than ten like a plague.
Another thing to remember about Katja is that she is easily irritated. It's not a gentle thing either. Unless she's placated, she spews sarcastic remarks and acidic words. Sometimes their more vicious, sometimes their more humorous. Depends on her mood besides being irritated. However, when Katja looses her temper it's not a pretty thing. If she doesn't out right leave before she looses complete control, she says or acts before she thinks. Her temper has often times landed her in trouble before and will no doubted will again.
Due to her past, Katja is very defensive and does not trust people outright. Her trust has to be earned, but once earned it's whole heartedly given. Despite all of the negative traits she has, she does have some redeeming qualities. She loves to joke and will do so when the time presents itself. She loves sweets and spicy foods and can often be found sneaking them from the kitchens. She abhors slimy things, liars, spiders, and mosquitoes. She's extremely loyal to those she deems worthy of it and likes to sing love songs for crying out loud!
All in all, Katja is a little rough around the edges, but capable of good things...just not always prone to do nice things.
History: Katja was born in a cold unforgiving land of ice and snow. Learning the harsh ways of life at an early age, Katja's early life was full of struggle and hardship. Due to her sidhe features and the paranoia of the locals, she was closely watched and regarded as a 'freak' and shunned. There even came a point that she thought she wouldn't live to see adulthood due to the way she was treated, that is until she befriended a orphan child from the village she occupied.
For years they stuck together doing everything they could just to survive- just she and Tatianna. However Katja's nature often times gave them trouble with the locals. They feared the unknown and thusly feared her. Unfortunately her friend shared the same boat as she herself did in the eyes of the villagers. One day during their normal routines just after Katja's 13th birthday, they were captured and falsely accused of witchcraft. Barely managing to escape, she and Tatianna made their way across the frozen wasteland in search of a place to hide. After a couple of years of avoiding bounty hunters and others searching for them, they met a man by the name of Kolzak.
The man was likable and it didn't take long for the two young girls to foolishly trust the man. It was the one mistake she would regret and that wound haunt her for the rest of her days. Believing the man was taking them to safety, they followed him and when they arrived at the 'safe place' they were surrounded and captured by hunters. The man had been hired to deceive the two girls and then bring them to be brought to 'justice.' Tatianna was hung a few hours later and if it hadn't been for a weak and faulty rope, Katja would have joined her. Barely escaping her would be 'executioners,' she swore vengeance for the death of her innocent friend.
As she grew older, Katja trained and got stronger. She played on her strengths and strengthened her weaknesses all until she deemed herself ready to avenger her friend. Hunting down those that had hunted she and Tatianna, she slew them one by one all until those that had been involved with her friends death were no more. Deciding that Russia held no more for her, Katja set out and began to travel the world.
Many years passed, Katja doing various things-mercenary work mostly- and eventually decided to live off the coast of Greece for many years. Finding peace in the waters and lands, Katja faded from the worlds activities for many, many, MANY years. When Katja did rejoin the world from her peaceful 'break,' she began to travel again and eventually ended up in her homeland. However everything was different from how it was before. Nothing was the same, besides the unyielding ice and snow. It was this that made her suspect that the entire world had changed in her absence. It wasn't long after that that she heard the whispers of a place called Alanor. The sense of feeling alone grew and it didn't take long for her to set out in search of this place, hoping to find more of her kind. Katja left her 'homeland' for good. Once entering Alanor, she knew she would never
