Family: She has a very large family. Before Katry was born her family had had alot of touble with bandits stealing their crops and possesions. It got to the point where the Darents didn't have enough food to feed the children.When this happened the Darents had the whole extended family move together forming the village of Quin. The single family consists of her Father, Mother, and 7 children(including Katry). Katry was the fifth born.











History: As a child Katry never had to worry about going hungry or being lonely. Her large family saw to that. She was required to do her share of the chores and to help harvest the crops, but this didn't bother her. For as long as she could remember that was how life was. Unlike most children living outside town the Darent children didn't attend the school in Tamra. Instead they learned what they needed to know at home. Except for learning about weapons and how to fight. That they didn't need to learn because they were farmers and fairly safe from bandits. Katry found this boring life confining. She wished for anything to relieve the monotony of her life. Never seeing anyone but your siblings and cousins was very boring. The one subject, weapons training, that interested her, she had no way to learn. The family never went to town even. They could make any of the things they needed. Katry was 10, the age for which she was ready to take adult responsibilities, when she finally made her decision. The Darents were planning her life carefully for her. They started building a house and alotting land that would belong to Katry and her husband, when she found one. Until that time Katry was to continue as she always had, but doing what a farming woman does. She was even more confined now, no longer being able to romp in the woods and play.

     Making a life altering decision, Katry decided she would leave. Her life was too organized, it was to the point of strangling her. The Darents especially felt Katralina must be looked after and directed because she had always done well at getting in scapes and accidents. A wild child was what they thought of her. Though she had settled down in the last few years. Finally starting to accept her caste and the fact, she couldn't be a fighter. They were simple people with a good home and family. No sane person would turn their back on that. When Katry had her plans ready, she quietly left one night, carrying only one oufit and some food. That way they would think she was only running away for a short while as she had done several times before. Katry made her way to Tamra, which was a three day walk. She was planning to say she was only 9 and enroll for a year in the school there. It would give her time to try and learn to be a fighter. They taught that she knew for sure. From there Katry would try to find work, or even continue her education if possible.

     Only half a days walk from Tamra, Katry encountered something that would change her life. A greenrider lay in the middle of the road with several arrows in his back. His white horse was also injured in the leg. A deep cut along the top of it. Katry went over to see if she could help the fallen man, but he was dead.From appearances for several hours. Laying in his hand was a short scrawled note saying.


To who finds this I am Janew Combre. I was killed by bandits on the way to delivering a message to Dragonia. Whoever finds this, you must get there and see my message reaches Dragonia.

      Katry was unsure what to do, but she decided to deliver the message. If it was important enough for a person to be killed over, she should take the message. Walking over the horse, she had trouble catching him. The horse kept walking in circles to avoid Katry until she got smart and changed directions when he did. When she got close enough Katry ahiled herself on his back and headed for Tamra. Being careful not to push the horse too hard with a hurt leg. They reached Tamra in only a few hours. Katry noticed there were many people around looking like mercenaries or possibly badits. The greenrider had probably planned on taking the long way to aviod trouble in Tamra. But thankfully they weren't looking for a common girl even if she were riding a white horse. When reaching the cities portal, Katry gave a fake story about why she needed to go to Dragonia. She told the attendant that her brother was there as a students and she was going to visit him. The attendant was bored anyway, so he accepted the story without trying to verify it and let her go on her way.
An unusual occurance in the year of 256     caused Katralina to learn she was adopted. Katry came to know she was actual born in Tamra. The daughter of 2 notorious criminals of a Black-market smuggling ring. Their names were Jarum, last name unknown, and Dania Washori. The news brouuht great sadness and great joy. Katry had always felt out of place with her own family and finally came to understand why. That was good to know. But in the bargain she learned her mother had been executed when she was 8. Jarum continued to be a criminal until he too was executed in July of 256. Since that time Katry has come to terms with her own history and gained a sister. The leader of the Dragonriders, Lilka Dania Val Washori is a half sister born 5 years before Katry. When Dania was still married to the merchant Valtrin Darnel Mai Washori. Both sisters now spend alot of time together, and Katry's full name and surnames have changed to Katralina Dania Jar Darent Washori. A long name for anybody.
