Snapshots

• She has at least one sibling. She is not estranged from her family per se, but they are not on good terms. One of her brothers may be looking for her and may even follow her out to the new settlement.
  
• She has had a pretty rough life, and has a hard time trusting people.
  
• She grew up in a nomadic lifestyle living near streams and lakes. She knew almost as many gnomes and halflings as she did humans.
  
• She is attractive, but somewhat clueless, and her oily skin and gills can be off-putting to some.
  
• Her semi-amoral nature and all around self-absorption have typically driven away the people she most needed to keep close (not that she knew that).
  
• Her initial partnerships (with decent people that she should have stuck with if she had sense) giving way lead her to more questionable partnerships. After several betrayals (lost finds, stolen gear, etc.) she is reluctant to trust anyone that wants her to depend on them.
  
• Katria and her siblings were orphaned before she reached adulthood.
  

Goals

• Katria's main goal (urgent and semi-important) is to get away from the mainland. There are too many people there she'd rather not run into again.
  
• This expedition is a perfect opportunity for her because she is a scholar and archaeologist and as such would obviously love the chance to explore old Azlant. She may have a hard time sticking to the settlement as long as the AP may want her to. Her second goal (important but not urgent) is to explore the ruins and fill in gaps in the history books. More importantly, she wants to make a significant find of some kind of powerful artifact.
  
• Additionally, I want her to find reasons to trust the party and become close to them.
  

Secrets

• Her parents were murdered by looters. One of Katria's older siblings managed to hide all the children away and then escape from the killers.
  
• She doesn't know it, but her mother actually survived. By the time she nursed herself back to health her children were nowehere to be found. She has been searching for them ever since.
  

Friends and Enemies

• Katria's brother is one of her few friends. She trusts him, even though she has avoided him for a while. Unbeknownst to her, he is looking for her.
  
• One of Katria's former partners, the gnome woman Berribells, still thinks of Katria as a friend and would work with her again. Berribells is one of the few people that Katria parted with on amicable terms in the past.
  
• Another of Katria's former partners, a dwarf prospector named Hulfir, wants to see her dead over a misunderstanding that lead to the destruction of one of his mines and the loss of a great deal of profit.
  

Memories, Mannerisms, and Quirks

• Katria sticks her tongue out to one side when she is concentrating.
  
• She sometimes absentmindedly hums a lullaby that her father used to sing. It is one of her clearest memories of him.
  
• She has no problem with direct eye contact and can maintain it for extended periods, in silence or conversation. This can work to her favor (she has beautiful eyes), but it often makes others uncomfortable.
