Kathalia Bisclavret
Baronez Kathalia Bisclavret (a.k.a. al Trietour (Oathbreaker), Kelch Torret (The Broken Circle), Bleiz eus Frehel (Wolf of Frehel))
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Kathalia has a athletic build and is in peak physical condition. She is quite beautiful, a mixture of her natural features and a persistent Fae glamour.
Body Features
Kathalia possesses shoulder-length hair of a deep, burnt-orange hue, which seems to shimmer like fire when she is in contact with raw Faerie magic. Her skin is clear and smooth, many of her freckles and blemishes of her youth vanishing after her pact with Hellequin. Her scars have been completely erased, and new ones heal completely in a short time, leaving no trace they were ever present, regardless of their severity. As a result of an ere-hud, no marks will remain on her body, save those of the Sidhe lord who cursed her.
Facial Features
Kathalia has pleasant facial features with an inverse triangular shape. Her eyes shimmer with an unnatural light, her irises a deep green like emeralds. Her canines are sharpened to a point, her upper teeth more prominently so. Her ears are slightly larger than a normal human's, but similarly positioned, and are raised to a point about 5 inches in length, tapered to a point.
Identifying Characteristics
Kathalia's hair and Milliget features (pointed ears, teeth and unnatural eye colour) make her easily noticed in many circumstances. Her ears are pierced and she sports a small mark on her shoulder where she was branded by the Sidhe Lord Hellequin as a Ki-Noz. In Faerie, this mark glows and in the deep Faewylde, elaborate face and body markings appear all over her face and body.
Physical quirks
Kathalia is right-hand dominant, but can use her left without much issue, even favouring it when shooting a bow. A result of her ere-hud means that her skin will not remain scarred and tattoos and other marks (except for those made by specific Sidhe) will fade away after a short time.
Special abilities
As Milliget, Kathalia possesses several abilities beyond those of normal humans, but not to the extent of true Fae. She has exceptional sight and hearing, able to see clearly in low-light conditions and track movement exceptionally well. She heals incredibly fast, with small cuts closing up within the hour. Possessing great strength and agility, she can hold her own against most mortals, although these pales compared to some other creatures. She may have some magical affinity, as all Milliget do, but is not able to connect with this side of her new status with great success or willingness. She can inherently sense particularly strong magic or glamour, can enter Faerie with minimal assistance and is immune to the effects of Faerie-Time .
Apparel & Accessories
Kathalia favours light, unrestricted clothing that allows for a full range of movement.
Her preferred outfit consists of a green top, laced up over the chest, often with a short white shirt underneath, both stopping at the midriff, and a matching thigh-length green skirt trimmed in brown. This is usually accompanied with a dark green short-cape, clasped with the broken emblem of the Urzh Kroashent. She wears a red bandana around her forehead, the remains of her Urzh Kroashent flag. She wears calf-high leather boots, steel schynbald, blue-steel vambraces and white leggings tied in the front.
Kathalia also sports a tight gambeson vest clasped with brass bars, grey trousers, laced leather boots and a long green cape. She wears a white Crystalsilk shirt with long, loose sleeves, and a green tricorn hat.
Kathalia despises dresses, especially complicated ones worn for court. She also dislikes the colour pink and tries not to wear it if given a choice.
Specialized Equipment
Kathalia possesses a nearly full set of plate and chainmail armor (although she lost the helmet at some point), the tabard emblazoned with her Order's symbol. She doesn't like wearing it and will only do so when absolutely necessary.
Her arming sword is her primary weapon and one of her most prized possessions, a castle-forged masterwork weapon. She also has two small crossbows, one of which is handheld.

Personal history
A Storm at Sea
The winds howled and the Wyldstorms raged against the remote granite cliffs of Kab Frehel. Atop the Crown Tower of Roc'h Goueon, Baron Melion Bisclavret, Protector of the Ar Mor Emrodez, watched a longship out in the treacherous channel, battered by the waves, its tattered sails shredded by the fierce wind. Green lightning flashed out from roiling black clouds, ominous shapes appearing in the murky shadows as the light receded. Risking life and limb, Melion organized a rescue party, personally leading dozens of attempts as the sea beat back the launches. Finally arriving on the deck of the stormtossed ship, Melion discovered that it belonged to Fjallkonaned Nobility, the Lady of the ship badly wounded by a falling spar. As he worked to lift off the debris to free the woman, the dark shape of a Finfolk Longship bore down on the stricken vessel. With his family sword, Kilstourm, Melion fought back, driving away the sea demons long enough to evacuate the survivors onto the launch and towards the shore. The Finfolk fleet bashed itself against the sharp rocks and castle walls throughout the night, vanishing as the Dawnbell rang out from the crown tower, the first sliver of red light appearing on the horizon. The storm had passed. The noblewoman was badly wounded and unfit to continue her journey. The vessel had been beset by enemies since leaving The Lost Peninsula, finally breaking apart in the fearsome storm. Melion granted the wounded noblewoman, and her Ambaxtoi made up of her two sisters, Aoife and Scathach the hospitality of his castle, while the surviving crew recuperated in nearby Havre-Kast. Over the following months, Melion helped nurse the Noblewoman back to health and they fell in love, beginning a passionate affair resulting in a child, Kathalia.Sea Salt and Pink Granite
Kathalia was born the illegitimate thirddaughter of Melion Bisclavret, the youngest of the Baron's offspring. After 2 years, Kathalia's mother had recovered enough to travel. Though it broke their hearts, she parted from Melion, called by her unspoken oaths to return to Fjallkonan. As a feast was held in the great hall, she vanished into the mist-filled night without a word to the servants or retainers. Aoife and Scathach remained behind to help raise Kathalia, training her in the art of combat and other skills. During Kathalia's 8th year, the twins had a falling out and Scathach sailed away, leaving Aoife behind. Aoife remained for four more years, continuing the train the girl before leaving as her sisters had done, sailing into the mists to vanish from the continent. By now, Kathalia had grown into a troublesome and mischievous child, frequently clambering along the cliffs to collect seabird eggs or visit the Fées-des-Houles in their seaside caverns, climbing the crown tower in the center of the castle or sneaking off to run a small gang of troublemakers in the nearby port. On her 13th birthday, she traveled with her father to Landreger, where she was formally legitimized as an heir to House Bisclavret, despite the political opposition of House Frihep, the Biskonts of Dinan.The Tightening Noose
With her status as a legitimate heir formalized, Kathalia found her relatively carefree life as a bastard child replaced by the stricter expectations of a noblewoman of Kontelezh Pentevr. Forced to accompany her father to the courts of Letha and other influential nobles, she protested in small acts of rebellion where possible. She continued to run her small gang in Havre-Kast and spreading her range to Sant-Brioc and Aleth, fighting local ruffians, sneaking into Hastiludes and tournaments and other such misadventures. Things took a turn for House Bisclavret. Their ships, carrying a wealth in granite, were caught in a storm and sunk (In reality, the Pirate Queen Lamit of The Tards-Venus had ensured the fleet would meet its end on the Mor Marv. Her brother Luc Bisclavret was assassinated while hunting boar. In Sant-Brioc, Janed "Ar Gammez" Pentevr and her Staunchist husband "Sant" Charlez Blaez ascended to the County Throne, looking askance at the Baron's friendly relationship with the Korrigan in his domain and the "questionable" parentage of his thirddaughter. With a sympathetic ear in the capital, Gidas Frihep set about his final act to eliminate House Bisclavret. The Friheps began a campaign to slander Melion and his family, attempting to link House Bisclavret with a plot against Dug Yann III. Shortly after Kathalia's 16th birthday, the Dug's representative, Morgan of Dreger was dispatched to clear up the dispute, unknowingly walking into Gidas's trap. Agents of House Frihep stole Kilstourm and assassinated Morgan at Roc'h Goueon, hoping to pin the killing on Melion. A mob of Tards-Venus arrived quickly to "arrest" the "traitors", but Melion fought back, falling on Kilstourm as Gidas ran him through with the stolen sword as Kathalia watched, powerless. Kathalia tried to flee to Aleth, but was intercepted by Camus Bour, who was under orders to kill her. Seeing an opportunity for profit, the mercenary instead sold her to a press-gang.The Errant Knife
The Press-Gang sold the girl to the Captain of the Slaver ship, the Errant Knife, a Windship bound for the Petty Kingdom of Nekor on Slaver's Coast. Arriving in Port De La Lune after a string of piracy along the Akitanian coast, some of the crew learned of a great treasure lost in the Shatterlands, a map providing easy pickings to wealth that far outweighed the value of the few slaves and smuggled goods the ship carried. The captain, sensing opportunity, changed course, directing the ship into the Bleed. Incompetence and a string of bad luck culminated in a successful, but costly mutiny. The captain and his followers were marooned on a small island in the Shatterlands as the Errant Knife sailed out of the cursed lands. Unable to return northwards, the ship continued to operate as an independent pirate company in the Mor Kreizdouar, attracting the attention of the Urzh Kroashent, who dispatched the Ubarite Paladin Ai'Sha min Iram to hunt them down. As the undercrewed vessel, raced ahead of the Veilwatcher ship, Kathalia and the other prisoners, some slaves, other nobles held for ransom, plotted their own course, taking advantage of the confusion and lesser manpower after the mutiny. After a chase of several days, the ship was driven into a wyldstorm, where it was overtaken by the Veilwatcher ship. As the ships crashed together, Kathalia made her move, seizing the weapon's locker and swarming over the deck. The mutineers, overwhelmed quickly surrendered.Knight of the Crossroads
While sailing across the Mor Kreizdouar, a passing Lethan ship brought news that the "bastard thirdaughter" of House Bisclavret was wanted for the murder of both Morgan and her father and had been branded an outlaw. Seeing the fate that awaited the girl should she be turned over to the "authorities", and impressed by Kathalia's resolve, skill and strategic mind, Aisha offered the girl a chance to join the Order. Seeing the looming threat of the Friheps, the chance of adventure on the high seas with the dashing paladin she had become smitten with, Kathalia leapt at the opportunity, becoming a Knight of the Crossroads, thwarting the agents of Gidas Frihep who waited to arrest her on the docks of the Grand Harbour of the island citadel of Maleth. Kathalia prospered under the direction of Aisha, proving herself to be a capable knight and tactician, rising through the ranks of the Red Commandery . Her knowledge of ships proved invaluable to the Order, and she often accompanied Aisha to battle pirates, raid slaver ports and intercept smugglers on the high seas and along Slaver's Coast. She excelled at her tasks, eventually becoming an under-marshal of her own division. During her time on Maleth, she moved into a private apartment with Aisha on Triq Il-Merkanti. When tensions between Outremer and the Caliphate of Ubar broke out into the War of the Sands, Kathalia was placed in charge of overseeing the evacuation of civilians from the embattled port of Ocina, including a young Morgiana. Kathalia won high praise for her command, and seemed destined for greatness within the Order.The Black Crown
Meanwhile, back on Kornôgel, the new King of Gallia, Philippe Le Bel found his kingdom in dire straits, deeply in debt from the War of the Golden Spurs. Dissent against the Crossroads Knights, one of the Kingdom's largest creditors, had grown following the Battle of Iram, when the Order had prioritized protecting Ubarite civilians against a djinn onslaught rather than using the opportunity to destroy the overwhelmed defenders. This action, and the treaty that followed, soured The Southern Church and some of the nobility on the Order, finding their dreams of destroying or looting Iram of the Pillars dashed. An opportunity had opened for Phillipe to seize control of the coffers of his largest creditor in what would become known as The Black Crown Affair. Phillipe ordered the Grand-Master of the Order, and the high officers, to return to their headquarters in Per-Ys to discuss the fallout of the War. Kathalia and Aisha traveled as part of the honor guard for the dignitaries, returning North for the first time since she had been spirited away. During the banquet thrown by the King, Kathalia had snuck off to seek Aisha and show her some of the highlights of the town. The pair received word of the betrayal, escaping into the undertown of Per-Ys. With a small group, they attempted to rescue the Grand-Master before he was burned at the stake, but the attempt failed. Kathalia, Aisha and others fled for Letha.Gender Identity
Cisgender Female. Kathalia views herself as female, as does society at large. Despite this, she often wears male clothing, such as trousers and dublets, preferring their freedom of movement. She has tried, and regularly failed, to encourage others to think her highwayman person, La Louve de Frehel, is male.
Sexuality
Kathalia is not fully aware of her own sexuality, regularly insisting that she is straight, despite taking no romantic or sexual interest in men, playing it off as "not her type", while actively and unconsciously flirting with and reacting to women she finds attractive. She has failed to notice this pattern, exacerbated by a combination of vows as part of the Urzh Kroashent and emotional trauma from her time in the Faewylde, leaving her little time to sort through her own emotions, resulting in her shutting herself off to others.
Despite her general obliviousness, Kathalia has a history of romantic desire for other women. During her youth, Kathalia developed a crush on the skilled hastilude fighter Melusine of Fougeres, sneaking out to see her fight. Following Melusine's example, Kathalia eventually took part in a tournament herself, for the hand of the daughter of the Kont of Touraine, failing to realize that she was smitten with the girl, rather than just looking to prove herself at tournament.
During her time in the Urzh Kroashent, she was exceptionally close to Ai'sha min Iram, a Saracen member of her company. The two parted ways before Kathalia was able to realize the truth of the relationship.
Education
During her time in Kab Frehel, Kathalia received an extensive education from the Fées-des-Houles residing in the seaside caves beneath Roc'h Goueon, learning to read, write and speak several languages, as well as history, the arts and sciences from her Korrigan instructors.
In the meantime, she received training from her aunts, first both and then only Aoife in the martial arts. She was dirlled daily in melee, mounted and ranged combat, as well as tactics and ancillary skills. She was taught the underlying concepts of Huderezh to identify and counter it, although, unable to cast herself, the girl had little interest or grasp of the particulars. She proved adept as swordsmanship and riding, but, to her great annoyance, was never able to master Aoife's magical chariot.
Kathalia proved adept at sailing small craft in the Mor Breizh, and even slipped out of the castle to sign on to the crews of local crews running cabotage between Aleth, Havre-Kast and Sant-Brioc. She excelled at sailing and navigation of maritime craft, learning all she could from the captains of Aleth and the Jetins of Kab Frehel.
Shortly before Aoife's departure and around the time of Kathalia's legitimization, father the Baron, a member of the Kont of Pentevr's court, attempted to ensure the girl was educated in the domestic arts and social graces in hopes of making her a desirable bride, with little success. The House employed a string of governesses, each attempt ending in disaster.
Kathalia's education continued as part of the Urzh Kroashent, honing her knowledge, martial skills and adding the difficult task of windriding to her repertoire, taking command of Order Windships during her time in Maleth.
Employment
Kathalia has undertaken a wide range of jobs in her life, working as a hastiltude combatant and cabotage sailor in her youth before she was kidnapped and sold to the Errant Knife. After her time in the Urzh Kroashent and her disappearance from Bedouar, she returned to find her home in the hands of Gidas Frihep and his allies, her title and inheritance stolen away by the enemies of her House.
Kathalia, first by accident and then increasingly by choice, became a highwaywoman known as La Louve de Frehel, robbing Frihep allies between Aleth, Dinan and Sant-Brioc, gaining a reputation for her daring and efficiency.
During the scandal of the Archimago's Ring, Kathalia, then imprisoned in the Ailhedenneg of Menez-Mikael, came to offer her services as a sellsword and bodyguard to the Eladan merchant Gwaeron Sulime Dethemir, a position she currently occupies.
Officially, Kathalia is the bodyguard of Guildmistress Dethemir in an official capacity in the Lugoni Trade Guild, holding a token position that sometimes directs her to take on roles guarding caravans and shipping routes, warehouses or other sensitive targets.
Kathalia has shifted her current vendetta against Frihep to their powerful allies in Naoned and elsewhere, taking them on while working as a member of the thieving crew The Forthaves Vinegar Company.
Accomplishments & Achievements
Prior to joining the Order, Kathalia made a small name for herself as a fixture of Hastiludes and Tournaments across Letha, regularly besting opponents older, stronger and larger tan herself. Her success in local games and her arrogant confidence proved a recipe for disaster outside of Letha.
The conservative Archperfect of Tours, aiming to discourage the role of women in combat, banned female entrants to a prestigious tournament in the city. Finding her entry barred, Kathalia entered anyway, disguised as a man. She learned soon after enrolling the the tournament's prize was the hand of one of the Kont of Touraine's daughters. She promptly won the tournament, besting several veteran knights, and marched forward to accept her prize. The ensuing scandal ended with her arrest by the enraged clergyman and only the intervention of her father, several knights and the apparently flattered princess saved her from the stake.
Kathalia was lauded as the hero of the evacuation of Ocina, but her laurels within the Order and outside of it were soon overshadowed by the Black Crown Affairs
Failures & Embarrassments
Despite her best efforts, Kathalia was never able to master Aoife's Chariot, the magical nature of the vehicle throwing off all her attempts to control it. When the chariot and Aoife both vanished one summer evening, Kathalia took it particularly hard, now unable to overcome the challenge.
While Kathalia suffered numerous minor setbacks in tournaments and social embarrassment at Court on account of her heritage and rebellious attitude, her greatest loss came at the fall of the Urzh Kroashent.
Mental Trauma
Kathalia has long held largely unspoken trauma regarding her status as a bastard, feeling outside of her family. She has feelings of resentment and abandonment, mostly directed at her mother, who left Kornôgel while her daughter was very young, compounded by the similar disappearances of Scathach and Aoife. Her resentment was most focused on her inability to cast magic despite her mother's lauded nature as a powerful similherez. This has become even more complicated with her recently acquired status as milliget. Kathalia is overwhelmed and disheartened by her physical and mental changes, and has made numerous attempts to push away her growing magical side. Her glamour in particular annoys and frightens her, and she often seeks to drain it away with a heavy iron key, despite the discomfort and harm caused by the metal to her.
The murder of her father, the suspected murder of her siblings and the other actions by House Frihep and their allies have long stuck with her, as has the dark times surrounding the Black Crown Affair, where her friends were betrayed by King Phillipe and the Southern Church. Kathalia, the sole survivor of the group she led from Per-Ys into their doom in Letha, holds herself responsible for all the deaths, often waking up in a cold sweat late at night. The trauma led her to deal with the powerful Sidhe lord Hellequin, becoming a Ki-Noz of the Ar Chase Gouez
Even after miraculously finding herself freed from Hellequin's power, the trauma broke the carefree girl and Kathalia emerged more cold and guarded, unwilling to open herself to the hurt again. She still wakes up with nightmares of a Black Crown, wrapped in bloody briars, a horned man and the ghosts of those she feels she has failed.
These traumas, existential panic over her fluctuating identity and the lingering effects of Faerie's intoxicating atmosphere has caused Kathalia to take comfort in alcohol, gambling, fighting and other reckless actions, thinking little of self-preservation as she throws herself wholly into dangerous situations.
Intellectual Characteristics
Impulsive and hot-headed, Kathalia has a tendency to leap into situations without considering all the consequences, a trait which has gotten her into trouble on numerous occasions. That is not to say she is not tactical, possessing a clever wit and a strategy-heavy fighting style, but her impatience with social rules, especially those which she finds abhorrent, will cause her to speak or act without considering the entire situation.
Morality & Philosophy
Kathalia has a long history surrounded by the best and worst Alvez has to offer, shaping her into the woman she is today. She possesses a strong sense of justice, and an impatience with inaction, prompting her to take matters into her own hands to correct things she feels is wrong. The losses of her past have led her to adopt a fiercely independent streak, coupled with an open disdain for social hierarchy.
Taboos
Upon making her pact with Hellequin and becoming Milliget, Kathalia gained several Ere-Hud in addition to the physical and magical abilities of the Ki-Noz and the other denizens of Faerie.
Kathalia's skin cannot be externally marked except by Lord Hellequin. Other tattoos, scars, and blemishes fade and vanish after a short time, but the swirling blue patterns of the Wild Hunt appear on her body, glowing when exposed to the raw magic of the Faewylde. This magically enforced taboo is meant to represent the Hunt's "ownership" of its "hounds", and it causes Kathalia no small amount of discomfort, as the vanishing scars serve to remove the ties to her past she desperately clings to, and the continuation of the Ere-Hud shows the power that Hellequin still wields over her.
Kathalia possesses a minor allergy to cold iron, experiencing a sensation similar to grabbing an icicle with bare hands.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Kathalia struggles to find her place in the new world, with her family gone and the Veilwatchers brutally disbanded, forced to confront the world of magic, of which she is now part.
Kathalia has vowed revenge on those who placed her in her current situation, and primarily, but privately works to achieve these goals.
Savvies & Ineptitudes
Kathalia is a skilled fighter, trained by some of the greatest warriors in Alvez in all manner of weaponry and tactics, allowing her to master melee, ranged and mounted combat. A strategist, she is able to work out ways to utilize her surroundings and opponents to her advantage, allowing her to even the field against stronger or more numerous opponents. Quick witted and well educated, she can carry her own in most social situations, but her disdain for conservative social mores and impatience often lead to her getting into trouble.
Kathalia has always had difficulty interacting with magical world, a problem which has only increased since her transformation, as she is unable or unwilling to connect with her own magical nature she now finds herself with.
Likes & Dislikes
Kathalia is fond of food and drink, especially Cidre and Chouchen and can often be found celebrating in a bar. Her favourite food is buckwheat galettes. She enjoys fighting, riding and sailing, the more challenging the better. She also enjoys music, especially ballads, maritime and drinking songs, but she is less enthused with sacred music, regardless of Doctrine. Though she will never admit it publicly and actively presents an air of the opposite, she is actually an avid reader in private and a big fan of Courtly Love fiction. Her favourite colour is green.
Kathalia despises formal dresses and will only wear them under duress, especially complicated and overly fancy ones. She does not like the colour pink.
Virtues & Personality perks
Kathalia retains her strong sense of fairness and justice and has no qualms in acting against those who do evil in her eyes. Quick to action, she does not hesitate to seize opportunities. She is confident and kind. Fearless, she will not (and in fact cannot due to her ere-hud) back down from a challenge, no matter how steep the odds against her.
Vices & Personality flaws
Impulsive and quick to anger, especially when she feels an injustice is being perpetrated, Kathalia is often brash and rushes into things without considering the fallout. She holds oppressive social constraints and hypocrisy in contempt and will not hesitate to voice her displeasure.
Despite her confident facade, Kathalia is actually very insecure about her fairly recent status as Milliget, unsure of what she has become and wary of daring to embrace the magical world that is now a part of her very being. Her new features have made her very self-conscious, compounding her emotional distance from others. Unwilling to open herself up emotionally, she has isolated herself from those around her behind a facade of indifference and confidence.
Personality Quirks
Kathalia often carries a large iron key on her belt, grasping it as an energy sink to drain excess glamour that naturally clings to her and furthers her magical transformation.
Hygiene
Compared to the average mortal denizen of Bedouar, Kathalia takes her personal hygiene very seriously, having picked up the habit of regular bathing during her time at Iram of the Pillars and reinforced as a personal cleansing ritual against her past time in the Wild Hunt.
Despite this, Kathalia is generally disorganized in her living space, which is in a constant state of clutter. However, some things, like her weapons and armor, are well maintained and kept separately.

Family Ties
Kathalia is the Seconddaughter, and third child, of Melion Bisclavret and an unknown noblewoman from Fjallkonan. The youngest child of the family, Kathalia had two half-siblings; Corentine and Luc Bisclavret. Sadly, Kathalia emerged from Faerie to discover that her father and siblings had all died during her absence, leaving her the last survivor of her immediate family. Kathalia is unaware if her aunts, Aoife and Scathach, or her mother still live, or their current whereabouts.
Religious Views
Kathalia was raised straddling the line between the Faith and the Druids, with her father being a follower of the former and her aunts belonging to the latter. Kathalia's generally ambivalent feelings towards the Church soured at several points through her life, such as when the Bishop of Tours arrested her for entering a tournament, ecclesiastic allies of the Friheps opposed her legitimization and finally, the destruction of the Crossroads Knights and her excommunication. The Church's association with the Staunchist movement, condemning her status as milliget as unclean, a sin by her very existence.
Kathalia has less hostility towards the Druids, but has little direct involvement with any organized religions.
Social Aptitude
Kathalia is caught between worlds in many ways, able to speak with poise and confidence among the nobility and upper classes, passing herself off as the noblewoman she technically is. Likewise, she can easily make her way through the underworld and back streets of the cities of Bedouar without much issue and is more comfortable in that setting. While a capable military leader, her past failures have shattered her confidence in this regard, and her restrain, as well as ability to trust and open up to others, especially in personal settings, has been severely crippled.
Hobbies & Pets
Kathalia enjoys drinking and fighting, occasionally taking part in tournaments or feats of skill like archery or jousting. She is also able to play, but not well, the Telenn (Celtic Harp) and Binioù Kohz (Breton small bagpipe)
Speech
Kathalia, a native Brezhoneg speaker, falls into some of her languages quirks, using subject first sentences (Your friend, have you seen her?) and demonstrative personal pronouns "This one is a nasty Ankou" These carry over to her spoken Gallian and other languages.

Wealth & Financial state
Kathalia, the sole surviving heir to House Bisclavret, is entitled to the baronial territory of Kab Frehel, as well as her ancestral home at Roc'h Goueon, as well as several smaller real and movable properties associated with her noble house, most notably the great windship the Emerald Storm. However, circumstances have allowed much of her inheritance to fall into the hands of her enemies, House Frihep, who control Kab Frehel, the castle and the ship. The Frihep family has relocated or squandered much of the material wealth of their rival, largely ignoring the development of the small region and leaving its management to a castellan, Camus Bour.
Cut off from the assets and funds of her noble family, Kathalia has accumulated some wealth through her work as a sellsword and adventurer, in part financed by her double-life as the pirate Bleiz eus Frehel, channeling her funds primarily to the cause of retaking her home.
Current Location
Species
Honorary & Occupational Titles
Following the death of her elder sister, Kathalia should have been granted the titles of Baronez Ar Mor Emrodez and protector of the Mor Breizh, titles long associated with House Bisclavret. Following her excommunication and presumed death at the hands of Philippe le Bel, political machinations allowed the title passed to Gidas Frihep, Viscount of Dinan.
Kathalia has asserted her rights to the title and pledged her support to Janed "Ar Flamme" Monforz, Pretender to the Ducal Throne of Letha. Her claim is disputed by Frihep and their allies of House Pentevr, but is accepted in some political and social circles.
