Biography/Background:
Kathori's first eight years of life were spent happily with her mother, Mira, father Talsim, and sister, Hinori. Talsim loved to travel and made maps for a living, while Mira stayed close to home and made pottery. Kathori never wanted for much and enjoyed the simple routines that her family went through each day. Waking up, breakfast, chores, walks into town... Kathori lived for it all. She liked to ride on her father's shoulders in town, even if he wasn't the largest man in the crowd, and fondly remembers eating baked goods with him whenever they stopped. The smell of fresh bread, Talsim's voice, falling asleep in his arms on the way home. It was a beautiful, peaceful life.
It was a little after Kathori's eighth birthday when her mother and father divorced. Mira, unbeknownst to the rest of the family, had been seeing a woman called Jana and realized she didn't love Talsim anymore. Talsim, who was devastated by the betrayal and disturbed even more so by the divorce, did his best to stay in his children's lives. However, less than three months later, Mira uprooted the family to the mountains to live in Jana's house without telling Talsim, leaving both Kathori and Hinori confused. To Kathori, things just didn't seem to add up. Didn't her father deserve the right to know where they were? These thoughts quickly turned Kathori bitter toward her mother and they began to argue. What made things even worse was the introduction of Jana's young daughter, Magella, who loved making fun of Kathori and Hinori. Kathori refused to acknowledge Magella as her sister, much to Mira's displeasure, and soon forced her daughter to watch Magella and Hinori in hopes that she'd learn to get used to the new family system.
This worked just as well as you might think it would. While Kathori took the added responsibility at first, she began to withdraw from the family whenever she had the chance. She spent her free time in the attic of the house, reading books and drawing, and eventually moved her entire room there. It was a surprise to her that Mira didn't seem to notice her change in mood, or the fact that she'd moved out of her bedroom, but secretly thanked Abronaxus for the privacy. She could do whatever she wanted in the attic and even convinced Hinori to spend time with her up there. In the attic, she felt closer to her sister and safe from the new family that her mother had created for her down below. Her bliss lasted a few months until Jana expressed concern over it at dinner, which made Kathori angry. She asserted that Jana had no right to police her, even if this was her home, and fled to the attic. The next morning, Mira ordered that Kathori move back into her old room and locked the attic door, effectively erasing Kathori's safe haven from the house.
Kathori tired her best to deal with the loss of her safe space in the following year, but ultimately decided that she'd had enough. She wrote a desperate letter to her father, expressing that she couldn't take the way she was living with her mother anymore and begging him to take her away. However, this letter never made it out the front door, and ended up in the hands of Magella instead. Magella insisted on reading it aloud to Mira and taunted Kathori relentlessly about Talsim being too busy to bother with her. Needless to say, this enraged Kathori, and Magella ended up with a good punch to the jaw. The situation spiraled downward from there, with Kathori earning a few slashes from an angry Jana, but an instant ticket back to her father's care.
Now fourteen years old, Kathori lives with her father in the same home she grew up with, but without her little sister Hinori. Though they've written letters and the scars on her skin have healed, Kathori can't help but still be angry about what happened in her childhood. Leaving her father behind, the constant control of her mother, and the removal of her baby sister from her life, these things couldn't just be forgiven and forgotten, could they? ... She'd make even with them, once she was old enough, and take her sister back to where she belonged, no matter the cost.
Thoughts on the Great Engagement: Kathori, though hot-headed and vengeful, finds no point in senseless murder and racism. She thinks that anyone can be capable of horrible things and through that logic, even your next door neighbor is worth a reasonable amount of bias. Of course, people are just as much capable of doing good, but she wouldn't put her life on the line for the chance. War to her is just people showing off how collectively horrible they can be, and are thus made equal in her eyes.
Thoughts on the Magescian Races:
Kathori holds all races in equal distrust, even members of her own race. She is biased to her own race, though, and feels safer in a room of Dovaa than she would ever feel safe in a room of Oblivionites. Still, she scrutinizes everyone she comes in contact with, and would take the same amount of time to discern the trustworthiness of an Orderite as she would a new family moving in next door. You aren't worth her time until you prove you aren't a threat no matter what race you are.
Thoughts on the Dragons and Khehora:
Dragons were made for fighting, hunting and observing, while Khehora are potential companions. Kathori likes the idea of befriending a Khehora, but is jealous that they get to choose more clans than the Dovaa can. Why should they be allowed to be Diabi while she has to settle for Firani?
