Katarina

When she gave herself, body and soul, to her Mistress, Riven, Katarina cast off her last name and her previous ideals, swearing fanatical devotion and eternal servitude to The Exile. Katarina serves her Mistress as her Shadow, either gathering information or, more often, eliminating those that her Mistress deemed unworthy of life.

As Riven's Shadow, Katarina commands her Dancers, those gifted with skills of stealth and who act as scouts and spies for The Exile.

Incredibly, Katarina rose to such an illustrious rank, and grew to be so feared and deadly, with little more than dedicated training, and some enchanted armor and weapons. Born a mere mortal, she was gifted with immortality by the Exiles' goddess patrons, but refused to accept any special power or abilities from them, believing that they would become a crutch for her. This, she believed, would lessen her usefulness to her Mistress, something she cannot allow or stomach the thought of.

It took significant effort to convince "The Sinister Blade" to share her bed, and Riven found her to be a sensually submissive lover once she finally convinced the girl to let herself be loved.
