Katarina

Erin

Name: Katarina Sophia Octavia Delamere of Crescent Lake

Age: 15

Position: Unafilliate Trainee- 1st year, Second in line to her father’s estates.

Appearance: Long blond hair that she frequently spends hours tending and putting up into a fancy hairdo. Of course she prefers servants to do that, but when they’re not around, she will do it herself because looking good is slightly more important than not doing anything for herself. She has plain brown eyes, which fact she tries to disguise with makeup that draws attention away from the eyes and to her full lips and her overly-made-up cheeks. Whenever she is not in her blues uniform, she wears the fanciest, dresses, in the newest, highest fashions and the most expensive fabric. Even when she is in uniform, she wears jewels, a tasteful number and placement, but each unique, expensive, and real. She is developing curves, but is a little less busty than she’d like, though she does have the hips, and tries to get the bust with various garments and undergarments that emphasize what she does have.

Personality: Katarina can be very pleasant and polite, and rarely gets angry, except at “servants” when they don’t do their jobs (but half the time, either it wasn’t their job or she only thinks of them as servants). She has been very well trained in the social graces, and uses that training, but mostly ignores anyone she thinks of as being below her, which is almost everyone. Other than that, she has one main goal in life and that is to marry a rich, noble, and preferably handsome man, be his trophy wife, have a brood of children, host frequent parties, and all around be what she wishes her mother was. As for personality of her dream husband, she has not given that much consideration.

Short Life Story: Katarina’s father, Darius, was a good noble, wealthy, proper, etc., though he was good to his servants and treated them, not quite as equals but still as worthy human beings—a trait that his daughter did not pick up. Her mother, Suzanne, was not as much the picture of a good noble. She was even better to the servants than he was, preferred the hunting side of nobility to the staying at home, entertaining guests, and sewing part. She rode astride, and did not linger back to watch the hunt but participated fully. She also refused to bear any more children, or even risk the possibility of getting pregnant, after Katarina was born. She insisted that Darius consider her son and daughter the “heir and a spare” she was expected to bear, despite Katarina’s femininity.

Somehow, despite her mother’s attempts to train her otherwise, Katarina turned out as snobby and feminine as Suzanne’s worst fears. She was tutored, meant to become intelligent and have an introduction to physical learning too, though she only picked up riding, and that sidesaddle. She was not interested in anything that she deemed useless to noble motherhood, so did terrible at her studies and finally Suzanne got frustrated and sent her away to Haven, hoping that exposure to work (which she begged the Dean to make her do) and common-born children treated as equal to her would tame her. Darius agreed, though not as strongly.

Pet: Jade (horse, gelding)
Description: A light grey palfrey that has a calm temperament and never throws anyone, but is also not very loyal. He has a tendency to wander off, does not like Katarina very much, possibly because she tends to expect other people to take care of him, only checks on him when it’s in her interest, and expects others to make sure he gets back to her when he does wander off.

Family: Darius William Delamere II of Crescent Lake (Father)
