Katrina's village was raided when she was a little girl, her father tried to defend them and was murdered infront of her and her sisters and brothers. Her mother was then made to watch all her sons killed to then be violated and killed in front of Katrina and her remaining sisters. This was done to show that life didnt mean anything to the raiders, who then rounded up all the girls from her village and sold them into slavery.
 
This all happened when she was about 12, and for the following 11 years she had been passed around, but as she grew up she was used for entertainment until she was won by Chance in a game of cards and he set her free. She is haunted by this though as she was able to stay with one of her sisters this entire time but when she was freed she left her sister in the hands of her captors and she wants to free any living family, or at least put her family to rest.
 
One of her duties, and the only solace that she found in her years of captivity, was dance. However, because she was objectified and abused, she associated this both with mental escape, and burning rage.
