Bits o' Bio
Kheti was raised alone with her mom, living in the wilds and hunting beastkin for food, but never profit.
Lost her mom in the Calamity when she was 17.
In the old Miqo'te tongue, "Kheti" means either “The light of the waxing half-moon,” or “half-pint [affectionate]”, depending on pronunciation and tone.
Has passed the trials needed to become a priestess of her clan, the Shikari.
Recently retired from being a full-time courtesan, she's been living off her savings and odd jobs.
A stray coeurl for life: always traveling, making new friends, and finding new experiences.
Loves: dancing, poetry, the outdoors, physical affection.
Her heart is either on her sleeve, or buried where no one can reach it, and nothing in-between.
Rizz is half “Hopeless Romantic,” half “I Can Fix Her, Says Girl Who Is Worse.”
Was recently trapped in the Ninth for 5 years subjective time, which was only a day and a half on the Source.
Rumors & Gossip
Katie has a very deep and special relationship with Menphina. Those with any kind of celestial affinity might find some shared interests…
Before turning her life around, Katie earned a reputation as a reckless and dangerous merc. She's been banned for life by the Adventurer’s Guild, and made plenty of enemies there. Maybe you know one? Maybe you are one…
Katie loves a good contest. Drinking, sparring, truth or dare, death-matching… just be careful, she’s tougher than she looks, and she’s already a big girl…
Do you have aethersight? Katie looks like four people’s aether shoved into one body, then frozen solid. Oh, and she's not connected to the lifestream...
Far to the east, in and around Reunion there are wanted posters with Katie’s face, for crimes against Iturgen Khan of the Qestir. The reward for her capture is substantial.
The Seedseers have exiled Katie from the Black Shroud; Wood Wailers are to capture or kill her on sight.
Among her scars, one tends to stand out: there’s a faint friction burn that runs almost entirely around her neck. A hanging scar.
