Name: Katrill or Kat (Katrilliannara)

Age: 23 (m08/d04)

Position: Herald Trainee - 3rd year, formerly minor nobility, former scout in Mercenary Company

Appearance: wavy pale gold hair, mid-back, usually kept in a loose braid or tail. Eyes an interesting shade of clear spring green. 5’6” and lean, while still obviously feminine. Has many claw marks on her forearms from raising Míre. Pale skinned with an occasional light tan.

Personality: highly practical, not at all body shy. Well mannered with a dry sense of humor. She works with the scouts and is death on two legs with her chosen weapon, a narrow slightly curving sword. Is a passing fair archer and getting better. With kitties help is a great tracker. Can be impulsive at times. Absolutely cannot stand to see children mistreated and will go out of her way to help the child.

Short Life Story: was born to a minor noble family in Rethwellan and named Katrilliannara. A blood enemy of her family hired someone to kidnap her and dump her in the wild to die at 4. As luck would have it, a retired female mercenary was riding past the dump site on her way back to her Companies winter quarters after attending a horse fair when Katrill woke up and heard the childs frightened wailing. She stopped to see what was going on and, finding the girl, decided to keep her as there was nothing on her person to tell who she belonged to. That settled she took Katrill with her and raised her as her own. She could only remember the short pet name her parents called her so she’s grown up as Katrill.

She was raised in the Companies winter quarters among the other families of former members. She showed an interest in learning the sword at an early age and proved to be a natural. At 12 ended up adopting and raising a kitten of a wild cat when one of the scouts brought it back to base after its mother was killed by bandits. Her Gifts opened up about the same time and started training them. Bonded tightly to the cat.

When considered old enough to choose (16) she joined the Company and was soon assigned to the scouts. She was with them for 3 years and still has Míre. Is fondly known as Kat among the Company. Currently out on a campaign with the Company. Has received enough training that her Gifts are useful to the Company but not fully trained.

Companion: Brihan (stallion), only just old enough to Choose, not very sure of himself, doesn’t get taken very seriously which annoys him.

Pet: Míre (pronounced Meera), female
Description: Golden Cat, 9 years old, 4ft in length- nose to tail tip, and about 22lbs, fiercely protective of ‘her human’.
