Katrina

    Quote's describing her belief system:

    "I love everything that's old; old friends,
    old times, old manners, old books, old wines."
    --- Oliver Goldsmith

    "If you have a well disciplined mind,
    it will recognize and accept few limitations."

    "No one can succeed and remain successful
    without the friendly cooperation of others."

    "It is a weakness to measure everything and everyone
    by your own impressions and beliefs."

    General Description:

    Katrina is a daughter of a very different place. She has a love of her home shadow's technology, though she has also always been fascinated by history. She loves swordplay, sailing and the intrigue of the theatre. Although she comes across as being bitchy at times, she is actually quite kind at heart, and is seeking the love of another.
    In the shadow she lived in previously, she was constantly needing to change to meet the demands of being a military captain of a star cruiser. It gave her an affinity at adapting to new situations and people. This seems to be a strong point in her favor as she learns the many ropes of life in the court of Amber. She seems to be growing constantly more accustomed and even comfortable in her new role as a Princess of Amber. While she still has much to learn about Amber and Chaos, she seems to be up to the task. She has even begun to play the game...case in point... her Trump Deck which she been amassing in the strangest of ways....

    Physical Description:

    Katrina is fair complected, with wavy auburn hair (generally pulled back on the sides, but loose down her back). She has brown eyes and stands approximately 5'9". She is in excellent physical shape and is 29 years old. Katrina tends to dress conservatively. She favors simple dresses with few frills and occasionally pants and shirt. The cut of both are sufficient to allow her much mobility, and freedom of movement. She wears very little jewelry, just a small necklace, which was a gift from her grandfather on her 25th birthday, and a bracelet with a beautiful blood red stone set into it. She has yet to be seen without her sword at her side (also a gift from her grandfather). In her recent missing time from Amber, her appearance has altered somewhat. There could be many reasons why, but no one is quite sure. She seems younger and more attractive. If asked, she refers to her time on a shadow of Mu as being the reason, but she is not quite sure.

    History:

    Katrina was raised on an Earth-like Shadow in the 25th century, a "high-tech" world known as RLW 1289. Life was very different from what currently confronts her in Amber. She had one known brother while growing up, Maximillian, who died shortly after Sand's reign in Amber ended. She recently discovered that Jacob, supposed son of Brand, was in fact her brother through Bleys.
