History:
-----------------------------------------
Katarina was born to Piotr and Adrianna Doliu, their third child. She had been born a twin, just after her brother, but he did not survive. Her older brother - also Piotr, after his father, preceded her by four years. The name 'Pit' stuck as a nickname when Kat proved incapable of his full name in her toddler years.

Pit was always ahead of her as a natural result of being so much older. He studied with their quite-large family, reading books from every subject, played with tools meant for creating things, and was generally a joy to be around - though one had to keep an eye on him given all of the trouble he could get into if overlooked. Or perhaps, that's just how Kat idolized him.

Kat loved her brother, and that never stopped and likely never will stop. She would follow him to the ends of the earth. He taught her how to use a bow. He showed her how their uncle's tools worked to maintain it properly. He showed her all the books with the coolest drawings.

The two were inseparable until her teenage years, when he joined the Korvosan Guard. Then, it became nights and weekends, then steadily less than that as he cemented himself amongst other friends and coworkers. Kat never became a third wheel, but their time was cut short.

And, of course, she followed in his footsteps. By the time she had joined the Guard, he had already made Captain. Luckily for Kat, all of that time spent training and reading alone had pushed her towards a completely different idea: That she would surpass him, in her own way, and join the Sable Marines. That didn't stop her from rejoicing when she was assigned to be in his squad, as it meant that - at least for now - she would have more time with him.

She had never expected the life of a guard to be so dull. Things happened, but mostly it just became he-said she-said rabble. She'd joined to be a hero and help people, not listen to people drone on about their own made up version of events. She lived for the things that happened that were not the rank and file every day events... so she made it known that she was interested in every special mission that came up that she could.

And that's how she became sole survivor in a botched raid. Her brother had put her out of harm's way in the form of overwatch. But the whole thing had been set up as an ambush on her team. The sheer number of enemies guaranteed that, and the fact that her sniper's nest had two people already coming up the stairs when the ambush began always left an acrid taste in her mouth. She was certain they'd been betrayed. She had whispered a warning to her allies, but nothing came back, they didn't see the men coming. So she did the only thing she could - She shot one of them. The scream of pain never reached her ears, her bow string didn't so much as hum. But her team turned in time to meet the ambush.

There were too many for them. A scything blow took down one ambusher, but her team crumpled under the numbers. She was able to fire off another snapshot, before sound returned to her world, 'Get out.' And so she ran for help.

When she returned with help, all of her squad was dead, with her brother missing. Everything went black.

She didn't work that week. They wouldn't let her, something about bereavement. Her family wouldn't let her leave the house. Something about not letting her throw her life away. And that's why she was the one that found the body. It had been unceremoniously dropped on the front steps. Drained of blood, missing an eye, body flayed open, insides missing... and dressed and posed to look like her brother just slumped on the stairs. After she emptied her stomach beside him, everything went black again.

This time, she came to in a cell. They'd locked her up for her own protection while they investigated. They didn't have any leads, except that the Pharasmans believed Pit had been alive for most of the procedures and that raise dead would not do anything for him, given his conditions. They hadn't told her that, but when she'd broken into the files on the case, she'd found that out on her own. Things didn't get better.

Goals:
-----------------------------------------
Recovery.
Revenge.
Reclaimed Destiny.
Kat is very interested in seeing the underworld's leaders punished for their transgressions against her, and driven to do so by emotions too strong for her to handle. She suspects that there is a surgeon that works for them. She does not suspect that the man she shot in the face has her brother's eye.
