Katerina Tenenbaum

Katerina Tenenbaum (カテリーナテネンバウム; Katerīna Tenenbaumu) is Mage from the country of Caelum, and a Legionnaire from Zentopia Church. She is the cadet daughter of Duke Martin Tenenbaum, one of most powerful nobleman of the country, and her family has ties with Zentopia Church that has been lasting since centuries. To not divide his heritage, her father initially destined Katerina to take vows and life as an abbess in a local cloister; however, she soon discovered not only to have immense aptitude for Magic and warfare, but to enjoying it as well. Her own magic of choice was a specific branch of Enchantment, entirely focused on giving her status buff or adding extra magical effects on her equipment, something she mastered since a young age.

Seeking not waste such talent, Duke Martin slightly adapted his plans for her daughter's life and had her appointed as a high ranking warrior in the church and the personal guard of Caelum cardinal. Katerina complied, and carried out her duty with diligence and skills, earning a reputation as a bastion of the church; behind her veneer of piety, however, she was savoring more and more the thrill of fighting and killing. She started relishing on violence much more than her job required, using her position to kill and torture prisoners and cultists, and sometimes even fellow Legionnaires whom she didn't like by making it look like an accident. Her desire for blood brought her further in the depth of the criminal underworld, until, during an exploration, she discovered the King of Necromancers and his acolytes. She fought well against Nyblord's servants, but was no match for the necromancer himself. Desperate for her life, she pleaded to be spared in exchange of her servitude. Nyblord agreed, and Katerina joined the Black Soul as spy, keeping the activities of the Guilds off the civil authorities and the church radar. While such subordination was forced upon her, Katerina enojys her association with Nyblord more than ever, having now more and more opportunities to inflict pain and death. She gained infamy within the underworld, with her impeccable use of equip oriented Enchantment, feline moves and sensually sadistic tendencies earning the nickname of Iron She-Cat (鉄の猫; Tetsu no neko).
