Background

Young Katia

Born and raised in the bustling trade hub of King's Crossing, Katia is of a lineage shared between Human and Shrevir blood which begun many centuries back when her Human ancestor found love in a Shrevir who had arrived in the town seeking shelter. Though he was looked down upon for marrying and mating with one of the desert savages, the man and his Shrevir partner raised a family of hybrids that would go on to continue the family legacy of inclusion between the two races.

Katia grew up like most youngsters of Luxfordia - with the heat of adventure calling out to them. At an early premature age the girl left the comforts of her parent's protection, swearing to her that the life of a matriarch sitting at home will never be for her, carrying only her father's gunblade and an eager sense for the great beyond with her. Her journeys would take her to the dry reaches of Livanin, where she spent the next five years of her life as a sellsword, quickly building up a reputation as "the girl with sharpest fangs". This reputation also earned the notice of another mercenary, the fearsome Throatslasher, a Shrevir known for the carnage he mustered in every quest he took up. His dominant stature and impressive skill in killing gave Katia a deep interest in him and the two quickly became close friends and partners in crime, developing a kinship few times seen in the galaxy that many dubbed the "Twin Shadows of Death", as between Katia's deathly accuracy and Throatslasher's ferocious fury, none were able to stand a chance against them. Katia herself took up a new name, the clever title of "Cut Lass".

In the next fifteen years to come, the two traveled out of Imperia to take up the most dangerous bounties there were, charging headfirst into near-death situations on a number of occasions and always coming on top with a rich reward to be expected. They became a legendary duo in the mercenary world that promised them many a customer asking for their aid in costly quests. The years of being sellswords had however taken a dull on the both of them, for Throatslasher begun to reminisce of his home in the canyons of north Livanin and Cut Lass equally felt a sickness towards the absence of her home, her family. In that night that they shared their want for home, the two also shared in passionate love during which they promised one another to leave this life of killing and being sellswords behind and use their bulging wallets to start a new home back in Imperia. In a sudden turn of events, the Twin Shadows of Death faded into obscurity as on that night they disappeared from their tavern room, leaving behind not a trace nor hint of their whereabouts.

Cut Lass would once more take up her name of Katia Claufield and return to King's Crossing to live with her parents, introducing to them her partner and mate Gowrnn, previously known as Throatslasher, as well as revealing to her family that she is pregnant with their first child, leaving all stories of her mercenary work to the past. Overjoyed over these news, Katia's parents arrangeda wedding that would bound Katia and Gowrnn together, becoming husband and wife on that day. Though she was at first opposed to the idea of a grand celebration of their marriage, Katia found a different side in Gowrnn that she had never seen before, a side which absolutely adored the idea of a marriage of such proportions. Still reluctant, but accepting of her partner's desires, Katia went ahead with the wedding and officially became his consort for life.

Further down the years, Gowrnn and Katia settled in a new, larger house they bought in King's Crossing using the funds they had gathered in their life as adventurers, raising their first child, the pearly-eyed Felina, in the comforts of their new home. The happiest of their years together were meant to come, but ten years into their marriage Gowrnn would tragically pass away after he came under attack by a group of mercenaries known as the Fated Blade who had recognized him as Throatslasher, a previous member of their organization that had abandoned them in search of a lonesome career instead. In his last efforts to keep his family safe, he tasked them to hide away and not show their faces while he was "dealing with them".

After losing Gowrnn, Katia swore to keep their family safe even if it meant taking up her father's gunblade once more, retreating to her estate in King's Crossing and in her lonesome raising Felina with all the care and love she could muster. Two years afterward, Katia would come across a stray Shrevir girl called Cliffhanger who had come to King's Crossing after retreating from Livanin. Feeling her late husband guiding her to the girl, she promptly took her to her home to care for her and not soon after being recognized by her as a mother. Though complications arose between her biological daughter Felina and the new, adopted daughter who was given the name Kassi, Katia managed to keep their family intact through motherly discipline and an equal show of love.

Katia still lives in King's Crossing, in the estate she and her husband had bought many years ago. Felina and Kassi have both grown up now to young adults and have embarked on their own separate adventures now. Though she worries for her children's safety, she knows that Gowrnn's spirit will watch over them, knowing they will one day return home safe.

Powers and Abilities

In her prime, Katia was a fearsome fighter that employed swift hit-and-run tactics as well as accurate ranged attacks with her father's gunblade. She was known for using the momentum of larger foes to her advantage to slice and dice anyone who stood in her way. Together with Gowrnn, who employed a fearsome melee approach to his fighting, Katia was considered powerful even if she lacked any knowledge of magic.

Though it has been a few decades since her last adventure, Katia still maintains the skill from her past and can employ some of it when needed.

Physical Description

Katia is a Shrevir Human Hybrid. She has short black hair with cat ears sticking out through it, golden eyes that shine in the dark and slightly tanned skin. Though what muscle she used to have has slowly faded away, Katia keeps a fit build mixed with the features of a mother that includes a fairly sizable chest and widened hips. She possesses a long cat-tail which she often adorns with golden ornaments.

Katia commonly wears a long black and white robe that hides her figure well. An exposed opening in her torso reveals her cleavage.
