(Will edit the names in once I have an idea on what they should be called xD)
NAME: Lady Katrina Granz, currently going by the persona “Robert”.
AGE: 19
ORIGIN: Heriah
OCCUPATION: Princess of the now fallen Kingdom of Heriah. Has no real vocation, but has taken to finding servitude roles to earn money as she moves.
GENDER & SEXUALITY: Female and Straight, though she does her best to look male.
LIKES: Being treated like a princess, things connected to her homeland, socializing, Music.
DISLIKES: Dragons and Dragon worshipers, having to act like a plebeian boy who has to do everything for himself, bad manners, Violence
STRENGTHS: Knows how to modify her appearance well, is dedicated to any work which she needs to do, eloquence, knowledge of multiple languages.
WEAKNESSES: Is always on edge due to fears that her someone might see through her disguise, her proficiency with weapons is not that great, arrogance (tempered by her recent experiences, but still dormant there), not physically strong.
FEARS: Being captured and/or killed by dragon cultists, that her cover is blown, dragons, bugs (might as well add in one phobia xD)
AMBITIONS: Find somewhere where she doesn't have to keep up the pretense of being someone she's not. Get a Kingdom, find other people from her homeland, to she and find out what happened to her homeland.
SECRETS: She tries to keep the fact she is a girl, and a princess as secret as she can.
OVERALL PERSONALITY: Deep down she still has a lot of the arrogance that any royal blooded person should have, she was brought up with the assumption she would be somewhere's queen one day after all. But the years on the run have muted that a bit as she needed to survive, and she had been taught to hide it to some degree while she was still in court anyway. She does have a friendly side to her, but there her fears of letting her guard down and her inate arrogance do interfere with that.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Katrina is 5'5" with short black hair which has been cut into a masculine hair style and brown eyes. She does have a feminine figure, but at this point she does the best she can to hide it, binding her chest and wearing more formless shirts and tunics, along with hose as leggings. She severely misses wearing dresses but got rid of them many years ago for safety so is no. She also is often very grubby as she was taught it was a way to hide her scent, though she hates this even more and she tries to shake it up whenever she moves so that her smell doesn't remain the same.
PLAYBY: Anne Hathaway
HISTORY: Katrina Granz was born to the previous King and Queen of Heirah back while the kingdom was still going strong. She was brought up in a very traditional manner, taught how to live and act in the royal court and lived a very pampered life. Early on it was arranged that she would marry Harren, Prince of the neighboring kingdom of , who her father wanted to cement diplomatic relations with. She was sent to Rechenstein with a retinue of Knights and maids when she turned 13 as the wedding was prepared. (dont look at me like that, blame history for being messed up.)
It was not long after this that Heriah was attacked by the dragon cultists, meaning that Katrina was away when her kingdom finally fell and the rest of her monarchy died. The prince's father held off the wedding once news got to them, as he wanted to work out what options to take, given that the reason he was marrying his son to Katrina was gone now. He eventually decided that she would instead marry Johann, the younger brother to the prince so the elder one could marry a more politically useful bride.
Katrina spent three more years in Rechenstein, as Johann was not of age yet. as the wedding got closer, Envoys from Red Rock came to the king's castle to build relations with the kingdom. While they were there a changewing somehow snuck into Katrina's room and, when she and Johann were in the room bonding, the dragon attacked, predominantly covering the young prince in it's acidic breath, missing Katrina. The screams of the boy caused the knights to run in and dispatch the changewing, but the message was clear. Dragon cultists were still after her. Johann survived the experience, but was horribly burnt. His father became increasingly worried about Katrina and the trouble her remaining in his kingdom could be for him and his sons and so increasingly separated her from the rest of the court.
This separation made Katrina feel even more exposed and paranoid, and she tried to use the little power she could to have as many guards as she could, but by this point her retinue had shrunk down to a single Knight, who gave her a dagger in case he wasn't able to protect her. This dagger was eventually used when a few days after the first attempt, broke into her bedroom and attempted grab and presumably kill her. Before he could though she stabbed and killed him. Her knight, recognizing that she could no longer stay in Rechenstein, snuck her out of the castle and out of the kingdom.
As they traveled the knight did many things to try to keep the princess safe, mainly to disguise her as an effeminate boy, much to Katrina's disgust. It also became clear that the cultists where hunting them down by smell and so he did his best to find ways to cover up their scent. He hammered into Katrina that she couldn't act like she used to, chastising her whenever she acted girly or arrogant, and attempted to teach her methods of self-defense and swordplay, but given she'd already reached 15 and hadn't picked up a sword once, it was a hard task.
Throughout the following two years of travel, hiding and taking odd jobs along the way to make up the money to survive, the two had a couple of run ins with the cultists, generally able to only just escape with their lives, but each time the Knight was badly injured by the experience. Eventually in the most recent run in with cultists, the Knight ordered Katrina to leave him on her horse as he fought with the cultists, and she's not seen either him or them in the year since. the came to Lurigsburg four months ago and ended up taking work in the The Mottled Wyvern as a waiter/stableboy to try to earn enough money to move somewhere better, but the landlord has been making it hard for that to be possible.
FAMILY: Her parents, Fritzsche and Selene Granz, where the King and Queen of Heriah, and her brother Lucius was a Prince and heir apparent to their kindom. All of them died during the fall of Heriah. She was also betrothed to both of the princes of Rechenstein (at different times) but those nuptials feel through long ago.
WEAPON OF CHOICE: She owns a Knightly sword, though even now she is not very good at fighting with it. She’s only ever used a dagger to deadly effect, and even then it was more of a terrified flail than an effective attack.
FIGHTING STYLE: Running away or making sure someone else does it for her.
DRAGON (optional): not yet but soon :3
