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

it will recognize and accept few limitations."

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

Daughter of Bleys
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.
NOTE: This shadow is only known to Shaenan and Emily.

The picture of the first incarnation of Katrina has been modified from a picture of Kate Mulgrew found on the net. If you like the artistic work, its by my friend Andy. The Trump of Katrina above was created my Matthew Richardson. If you would like to know more about it, contact Matt at matvey@umich.edu.
