Description

Katrya is five feet, seven inches of boyish lines and angles. Her long, lissome limbs are lacking the pleasant curves that would demark her femininity, the small swell of her chest being the only thing standing between her and being perpetually mistaken as boy from the neck down. The softness of her dollish facial features provides a stark contrast to rest of her lanky form. Dark, almond-shaped eyes with ochre-stained lashes are almost too large for her heart-shaped face paired with a cute amaranth-pink mouth creates a permanent doe-eyed look. Her round cheeks are perpetually sunburnt, pale skin not serving her well in Southern's clime, and her shoulder-length bistre hair has similarly fallen victim to the ocean-side humidity, bits flying away haphazardly.

Common Knowledge

  • She will regale anyone and everyone who will listen about with weird body facts that cannot be unlearned; she's learned to ask first, though.
  • Other facts also include: idiom facts; bug facts; plant facts…
  • Despite her fascination with the grotesque inner workings of the body, strong smells can make her turn green (looking at you, numbweed). She doesn't like the sight of human blood, either. Some Healer, right?
  • While she has the desire to put up the good fight to stop herself from being terribly sunburned, she frequently forgets about it and gets roasted anyway.
  • No, seriously, if you notice her turning lobster red, please tell her. She will not notice until it is far too late.
  • She has a strong aversion to shoes and will be without them whenever she thinks she can get away with it.
  • While she loves swimming and will spend all of a free day floating in water, she gets ridiculously sea-sick as soon as she's on the deck of a ship.
  • She had very little tolerance for cold, which makes Between pretty much her least favorite place ever; a recent stint at High Reaches has made her even more thankful for Southern's clime.

History

Born in the Oldtime, Katrya and a number of her family came forward when she was a bitty baby. Afterwards, she was fostered and raised in Southern, a weyrbrat who never strayed too far from the nest. When she came of an age to be apprenticed, she took to her studies zealously, but a denied promotion to senior apprentice — a rank she wasn't mature enough for yet, but felt she deserved — led to her consenting to Stand for Zymuraith's first clutch.

After Impressing her perfect partner in infodumping, Katrya and Vinodestroth were tapped into Ocelot, Southern's search and rescue wing, where her Healer knowledge would be put to good use; not too long after, she started her formal training in Dragonhealing. After a few years of study, she graduated to a fully fledged Dragonhealer; however, she trained under an Oldtimer. In order to expand her knowledge, she transferred to High Reaches for a time. Her teacher there was progressively-minded enough to let her (a woman) study under him, as long as she did things exactly how he liked them, regardless of her previous training.

After a several Turns, she's recently returned to Southern, rejoining her fellow Ocelots old and new.
