Mental characteristics
Personal history
Katharine was the daugher of a health-and-fitness professor at North Town University, about to start her studies the following year. Attracted by her genetic pedigree and hoping to sire a strong heir, Balthazar Ironside, a 23-year-old mercenary who worked as security for the Humans, seduced the 15-year-old Katharine. Two months before her 16th birthday, Katharine fell pregnant with their baby, Britomart, who would be born the following year.
Goldday, Tinkermoon, 1313
Katharine came down with the mysterious plague that was sweeping the Noble Court, and continued to get steadily worse over the following days. At the Dargent-Laureat inauguration party the next day, her son, Menelaus, confided to Hugo Dargent that Katharine had recently made a friend.Goldday, Tailormoon, 1313
An hour earlier than the Patchwork Empire had planned their attack, the set off the Wasp Swarm in all the nobles affected by the Shakes.Mental Trauma
"And the mother. Dear, sweet Katharine. Like so many who become mothers so young, for a long time her nightmares focused primarily around her children. Their safety. Her inability to control their fate. More recently she’s been introduced for some delightfully new fears for the last few nights. Insects forcing their way from her body, the trail of blood on the carpet, a fragile weakened broken form huddled in unfamiliar passages under a drain. Her blood coursing down the grooves born over years by the blood of others. And finally, inevitably, the capture. The imprisonment. The sensation of all her many years of secrets torn from her by force."The Man Who Is Not There tells Lindie Asklepa the nightmares of the Noble Court.
Katharine was seduced by her husband, Balthazar, and got pregnant with her first child, Britomart, while she was still underage. Menelaus, her youngest child, has been fairly vocal about his father's mistreatment of all the family, but seems particularly bitter about what Balthazar has done to Katharine.
More recently, after the Patchwork Empire's wasp attack on the sick nobles, Katharine disappeared through a mirror in her private dressing room. When she was brought back by Menelaus, with the help of Hugo Dargent's bracelet, she had her hands bound in Thievian black cuffs, with glowing blue runes, and her gemstone had been forcibly removed from her head.
