=Character Information=

[[File:KatWiki.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Kat at Court, photo by Meredith Gerber]] She's been everywhere and nowhere. Always in the background, always the source of the cynicism, dry wit and scathing snark from the back of the room. When she'd gotten off the plane at O'Hare International Airport in September of 1997, she'd had a thick Russian accent, a moderate grasp of the English language, a pair of four-inch stiletto boots, a pack of cigarettes, a tattoo of six numbers on her left forearm, and jaded eyes. Only the accent and the linguistics have changed in the past thirteen years.

The woman is never seen in public without at least one man on her arm, whether it's a husband, a childer, a fellow clanmate, an Archon, a Prince...you name it. At large events and gatherings, she invariably has multiple dates...and an entourage to boot, mostly men of high standing and Camarilla position. She's left a string of dead husbands in her wake, none, she will assure you kindly, deceased by her own hand. Some of the Brujah call her "Black Widow" behind her back. And to her face.

But she can charm them, somehow; she's always got a wink and a smile, a throaty laugh and a sly sidelong look for those she calls "her boys". If she ''really'' likes you, she'll shower you with little endearments: pumpkin, sugar, honey, sweetheart, darling. She's fiercely protective and unendingly loyal to those she calls family. G-d help you if you so much as look at her childer sideways, or lay hands upon those that she loves.

It seems like she knows nearly everyone, almost everywhere. She boldly calls several Archons by their first names rather than their titles, reminding some of them not-so-subtly that she remembers when they were just little stripling things, learning at her knee or fighting by her side. At the Springfield Conclave of 2001, she'd gotten more applause than some of the Justicars when she was introduced, irritating then-Justicar Malaphar of the Tremere considerably.

She's not much like the rest of the Rabble, at least, as far as outward appearances go. Sure, she's quick-tempered, but that's pretty much where the similarity ends. She doesn't go in for pack mentality, and has dug in her heels on a number of issues that have occasionally put her at odds with her own Clan. Especially after she took Praxis of Chicago from Petronius. Now her speech is more florid and formal, her dress conservative, her smile a bit more forced, her movements deliberate, her alliances careful.

The attempt on her life seems to have changed her some. The removal of her position as Prince by the Justicariate has definitely affected her. But the thing that has without a doubt tipped her over the edge is the death of her lover [[Jack Sebastien]].

==Known History==
Was an inmate of Auschwitz prior to Embrace. A resident of Chicago since 1997. Has outlived four Kindred husbands in fifteen years. Originally a resident and one of the longest-standing Primogen of Chicago, she relocated briefly before the Siege of Chicago and resided in Champaign around the turn of the milennium under Princes [[James Jones]] and [[Philip Walkin]]. Was Archon [[Jon Sebastian]]'s constant companion for several years, the two were rarely seen apart. Fought alongside former Justicar [[Masako]] during the Sabbat siege of Chicago in 2000 and returned permanently to reside in the city shortly thereafter. Took Praxis of Chicago from Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]] in December of 2009.

Attacked by two Sabbat assassins in front of the Drake Hotel on May 28, 2011 and presumed destroyed. Reemerged in Chicago and reclaimed her Praxis from [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]] almost exactly four months later on September 24, 2011.

After her reemergence in Kindred society, she was dogged by some highly disturbing rumors, most notably that she was an infernalist impostor. On November 26, 2011 she was publically cleared of all suspicion of infernalism by Archon [[Elias Beecher]] of Justicar [[Maris Streck]]'s office and Archon [[Terminus]] of Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]]'s office, as well as passing a private inquiry by Archon [[Saul Good]] of Justicar [[Cock Robin]]'s office, and a personal inquiry by Justicar [[Jaroslav Pascek]] himself.

To sum it up: totes not infernal, y'all.

At the Midwinter gathering of 2012, she noticeably went missing from the battle with Moloch, earning more than a little spite and derision from those Brujah who claimed that she willfully ignored a Call to Arms. Her explanation that she was "fighting on a different front" was met with confusion. She also garnered a fair amount of scandal by attacking Archon [[Kate Davidson]] in front of hundreds of people, actually ripping out a huge chunk of her hair and throwing it on the ground as the Archon was walking [[Paul Walker]] into a private room for interrogation. It was later discovered to be a hairpiece.

Judicially conclaved at Midwinter 2013 and removed from her position as Prince of Chicago on January 18, 2013. She was also stripped of one of her Feared names. Details of this Conclave released recently are nebulous about what, if any, crimes she was found guilty of, but the oddly worded decision was released all the same. She was seen briefly the evening after this conclave wearing [[Jack Sebastien]]'s clothes and looking pissed. She disappeared after the gathering...only to reappear in Chicago a month later, where she walked in escorted by new Prince Francis Merivein, and was immediately appointed Primogen.

On May 24, 2013, Archon [[Jack Sebastien]] was murdered by known infernalist [[Elias Beecher]]. This murder was two years almost to the day as the attempt on her life by the still-unknown assailants that nearly killed her. Katja has since been seen a scant handful of times at her local Court, acting erratically, getting drunk, and on one occasion, weeping openly.

==Coterie==
"Hahahahaha. Coterie? I am alone."

==Allies==

"I have no friends. All my friends are dead."

==Enemies==

"I have no enemies. All my enemies are dead."

==Sire==
Unknown. Was a drive-by embrace.

==Childer==
"Biological": [[Silas Christian]], [[Oliver Freigh]], [[Mila Nothing-Llyandryn]]

Considered [[Spectre Llyandryn]] her son, and no one really attempted to dissuade her of that notion. He was disowned after joining the Sabbat.

==Broodmates==
Unknown.

==Character Inspirations==
Physically, a young Shirley Manson. In concept, I owe a lot to Edith Hahn Beer and Art Spiegelman. And Marvel's Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow.

==Quotes==
"Men."

"She makes an excellent projectile." ~[[Jon Sebastian]]

"[[Katja Nothing]] is my kinda lady. Headstrong, intelligent, ambitious. It's too bad the Children of Haquim are dragging her down." -[[Johnathan Gwynn]]

"You're certainly not the ''typical'' Brujah." - [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]]

"I want to be you when I grow up." - [[Lena!]]

[[Paul Walker]]: "Emery, I'm sorry things didn't work out between you and Katja. I'm planning a golf outing next week for the rest of Katja's exes. You should come along." 
[[Emery Llyandryn]]: "What? You guys have a club? Like the 7 Evil Exes from Scott Pilgrim?" 
[[Paul Walker]]: "Oh, there's a ''lot'' more than 7 of us, Emery." 

"I say the following with all appropriate respect to your station and accomplishments, but while you would be my very first choice if I were shopping for a pair of Manolo Blahniks, I don't think you would know what a demon looks like, let alone are infernal." - Archon [[Elias Beecher]]

Sabbat member: "You're the Prince of Chicago, huh? We're coming for you, girl." 
Katja: (rolls eyes) "I call that Tuesday. ''You're'' coming for me, ''they're'' coming for me, the ''Tremere'' are coming for me...when is someone ''not'' coming for me? You're going to have to try harder than that to frighten me."

"I heard your ex-husband was going to be coming to court tonight." (beat) "Oh. I should probably narrow it down and tell you which one." - [[Christopher Matthews]]

Katja, to unknown: "A whole ''flock'' of birdies have been singing to me about what you've been up to lately. A friend of mine likes to say that we're never as clever as we think we are - and you, ''darling'', are ''so'' not clever."

[[Lan Blackwood]]:"No more marriages? Don't you miss the honeymoons?" 
Katja: "Darling, you don't even know. It's ''all'' honeymoon for me, now."

Katja, to an assemblage of Princes: "Children of Haqim are always, without hesitation, welcome in my city and at my Courts, and I have told them as much and asked them to tell their brothers of it as well. Despite the injuries I have suffered in recent nights, my offer to their family still stands and will remain standing as long as I am Prince of Chicago. If you don't want them in your City or on your Court, that's your business. I will gladly recieve your refugees with open arms in my own Domain."

"Archon [[Jon-Apolo de Soult|de Soult]], I have warned you multiple times: This is an Elysium, not a gun show." - Katja, on a certain archon's physique.

Katja, on recent events out East: "You think they screwed the pooch on this one? Total understatement. Not only did they screw the pooch, they videotaped it, and posted it on YouTube with 'Yakity Sax' playing in the background."

"I'm alive, I'm here. But they took it from me. ''He'' took it from me. I'm you now, [[Jack Sebastien|Jack]]."

"If you really loved him, you'd have gone with him, Anya."

"You wasted our time. We will require more from you." - [[Titus Petronius Niger]]

==Rumors==
* All her dates to Midwinter have ended up as Archons within a year.

* Was affiliated with the Setites for some time in the late nineties. She got over it.

* It is speculated that some if not all of the individuals she claims are her "children" are not, in fact, her own.

* Some think she may have been a Hunter childe rather than a real Brujah.

* All of her children are instructed to address [[Victoria Hunter]] as "Auntie".

* Some of her childer refer to [[Johnathan Gwynn]] as "Uncle Johnny".

* Malaphar wanted her destroyed at the 2001 Conclave for recieving more applause during presentations as her Clan representative than he did as a Justicar. Thus began her trouble with the Tremere.

* Supposedly hates women, and only tolerates them publically because she has to.

* One more than one occasion has tried to play matchmaker for [[Victoria Hunter]]. Katja just wants to see her settled down and happy.

* Texts more than a fourteen-year old girl. Her phone rarely leaves her hand.
** She still texts. Lately there have been no replies.

* The murder attempt on Katja's life in May of 2011 may have been perpetrated by the Sabbat, but it was engineered and aided by the Tremere.

* [[Paul Walker]] is the de facto leader of her League of Evil Exes.
** With his death, the League is now in chaos.

* Took home three of the Championship belts from [[The Belt Game]] at Midwinter 2011.
** Was assisted by Archon [[Francis Merivein]] in the acquiring of said belts.

* Was propositioned by Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]] after seizing Praxis of Chicago from him. She declined his advances.

* Is infernal and an impostor claiming to be her.
** Is infernal and part of a Lilith cult.

* Is not infernal, and just has the luck of the Devil instead.
**It's because she's a devout Jew and is one of the "chosen people".

* Has a bit of a shoe fetish.

* Has a secret lover.

* The lover is a Tremere, which is why the Clan wants to kill her so badly.
** Has been seen being ''very'' close to [[Philip Walkin]] since his reemergence in Kindred society.
*** Then, of course, there's [[Jon-Apolo de Soult|this guy]].
**** That guy is a dead man if someone finds out.

* The lover is a Brujah, because she's "learned to stick with her own kind".
** And by that we mean [[Jack Sebastien|"angry pariahs"]].
*** If true, it would be her longest running relationship to date, an intriguing bit of trivia to say the least.
****Publicly confirmed at the Grand Gathering in the Bay Area in May 2012, to a distinct lack of surprise.
*****Which made her kind of sad.

* The lover is an Archon of questionable reputation.
** Or at least, he used to be. An archon, that is. He still has a questionable rep.
*** Now an Archon again. She warned him what would happen if she took him to Midwinter.
**** "I have no love. My love is dead."

* Has refused Archonship positions three times, with two different Justicars.

* Every last pair of her impossibly high heels have been refitted with wood, a trick she taught to [[Victoria Hunter]].

* Justicar [[Lotharius]] and his agents have taken a very personal interest in her, bordering on obsession.
** Interestingly, he was very noticeably absent from her Judicial Conclave...

* After her attack on [[Kate Davidson]] at Midwinter 2012, some heard her snarl wordlessly, others could have sworn she hissed "stay away from him". No one is certain what prompted this...or who the "him" she was referencing could be. If she even said that at all.
** "It doesn't matter. Kate is dead."

* After speaking to him privately at Midwinter 2012, [[Elias Beecher]], previously thought dead in the battle the prior evening, was seen to have been talking to her very seriously, before concluding the conversation by standing on his tiptoes and kissing her on the cheek.
** "It doesn't matter. The little infernalist cocksucker is 'dead'. But if you see him, you tell him he and I have some unfinished business."

* For someone who supposedly hates women, she sure does seem to enjoy the company of [[Isabella Visconti]]. Maybe a little too much.

* Started a charity in Indonesia where poor orphan children learn valuable job skills making knock-off Christian Louboutins

* More than a few Brujah women had taken to wearing anklebreaker heels as a point of fashion when visiting her Court. She approves of this and often praises their taste in shoes.

* Was 'motorboated' by [[Mallory Jones]] at the Grand Gathering in Berkeley in May 2012, because she "just couldn't help it, I mean, look at those things!"

* Was named as one half of the 2012 Brujah Power Couple of the Year along with [[Jack Sebastien|this guy]].
** Don't you mean 3/4's of the Brujah Power Couple of the Year? I might it's only [[Jack Sebastien|this guy]]

* Was one of the last people seen talking to [[Elias Beecher]] before he mysteriously disappeared at the Grand Elysium in Columbus, 2012. She looked deeply uncomfortable during the course of their brief conversation.

* Has admitted to "trading sexual favors for goods" in public.

* In the announcement of the results of her Judicial Conclave, she was the only one whose charges were not publicly elaborated upon.
** Some say this is because a certain bargain was made...
*** Others think there's an even deeper, darker reason than that.

* She's single again.

* Is suicidal.

* Some think she may have been a Hunter childe rather than a real Brujah.

* All of her children are instructed to address [[Victoria Hunter]] as "Auntie".

* Some of her childer refer to [[Johnathan Gwynn]] as "Uncle Johnny".

* Malaphar wanted her destroyed at the 2001 Conclave for recieving more applause during presentations as her Clan representative than he did as a Justicar. Thus began her trouble with the Tremere.

* Supposedly hates women, and only tolerates them publically because she has to.

* One more than one occasion has tried to play matchmaker for [[Victoria Hunter]]. Katja just wants to see her settled down and happy.

* Texts more than a fourteen-year old girl. Her phone rarely leaves her hand.
** She still texts. Lately there have been no replies.

* The murder attempt on Katja's life in May of 2011 may have been perpetrated by the Sabbat, but it was engineered and aided by the Tremere.

* [[Paul Walker]] is the de facto leader of her League of Evil Exes.

* Is not infernal, and just has the luck of the Devil instead.
**It's because she's a devout Jew and is one of the "chosen people".

* Has a bit of a shoe fetish.

* Has a secret lover.

* The lover is a Tremere, which is why the Clan wants to kill her so badly.
** Has been seen being ''very'' close to [[Philip Walkin]] since his reemergence in Kindred society.
*** Then, of course, there's [[Jon-Apolo de Soult|this guy]].
**** That guy is a dead man if someone finds out.

* The lover is a Brujah, because she's "learned to stick with her own kind".
** And by that we mean [[Jack Sebastien|"angry pariahs"]].
*** If true, it would be her longest running relationship to date, an intriguing bit of trivia to say the least.
****Publicly confirmed at the Grand Gathering in the Bay Area in May, to a distinct lack of surprise.
*****Which made her kind of sad.

* The lover is an Archon of questionable reputation.

** Interestingly, he was very noticeably absent from her Judicial Conclave...

* After her attack on [[Kate Davidson]] at Midwinter 2012, some heard her snarl wordlessly, others could have sworn she hissed "stay away from him". No one is certain what prompted this...or who the "him" she was referencing could be. If she even said that at all.
** "It doesn't matter. Kate is dead."

* After speaking to him privately at Midwinter 2012, [[Elias Beecher]], previously thought dead in the battle the prior evening, was seen to have been talking to her very seriously, before concluding the conversation by standing on his tiptoes and kissing her on the cheek.
** "It doesn't matter. The little infernalist cocksucker is 'dead'. But if you see him, you tell him he and I have some unfinished business."

* For someone who supposedly hates women, she sure does seem to enjoy the company of [[Isabella Visconti]]. Maybe a little too much.

* Started a charity in Indonesia where poor orphan children learn valuable job skills making knock-off Christian Louboutins

* More than a few Brujah women had taken to wearing anklebreaker heels as a point of fashion when visiting her Court. She approves of this and often praises their taste in shoes.

* Was 'motorboated' by [[Mallory Jones]] at the Grand Gathering in Berkeley in May 2012, because she "just couldn't help it, I mean, look at those things!"

* Was named as one half of the 2012 Brujah Power Couple of the Year along with [[Jack Sebastien|this guy]].

* Was one of the last people seen talking to [[Elias Beecher]] before he mysteriously disappeared at the Grand Elysium in Columbus, 2012. She looked deeply uncomfortable during the course of their brief conversation.

* Has admitted to "trading sexual favors for goods" in public.

* In the announcement of the results of her Judicial Conclave, she was the only one whose charges were not publicly elaborated upon.
** Some say this is because a certain bargain was made...
*** Others think there's an even deeper, darker reason than that.

* She's single again.

* Is suicidal.

=Character Information=

[[File:KatWiki.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Kat at Court, photo by Meredith Gerber]] She's been everywhere and nowhere. Always in the background, always the source of the cynicism, dry wit and scathing snark from the back of the room. When she'd gotten off the plane at O'Hare International Airport in September of 1997, she'd had a thick Russian accent, a moderate grasp of the English language, a pair of four-inch stiletto boots, a pack of cigarettes, a tattoo of six numbers on her left forearm, and jaded eyes. Only the accent and the linguistics have changed in the past thirteen years.

The woman is never seen in public without at least one man on her arm, whether it's a husband, a childer, a fellow clanmate, an Archon, a Prince...you name it. At large events and gatherings, she invariably has multiple dates...and an entourage to boot, mostly men of high standing and Camarilla position. She's left a string of dead husbands in her wake, none, she will assure you kindly, deceased by her own hand. Some of the Brujah call her "Black Widow" behind her back. And to her face.

But she can charm them, somehow; she's always got a wink and a smile, a throaty laugh and a sly sidelong look for those she calls "her boys". If she ''really'' likes you, she'll shower you with little endearments: pumpkin, sugar, honey, sweetheart, darling. She's fiercely protective and unendingly loyal to those she calls family. G-d help you if you so much as look at her childer sideways, or lay hands upon those that she loves.

It seems like she knows nearly everyone, almost everywhere. She boldly calls several Archons by their first names rather than their titles, reminding some of them not-so-subtly that she remembers when they were just little stripling things, learning at her knee or fighting by her side. At the Springfield Conclave of 2001, she'd gotten more applause than some of the Justicars when she was introduced, irritating then-Justicar Malaphar of the Tremere considerably.

She's not much like the rest of the Rabble, at least, as far as outward appearances go. Sure, she's quick-tempered, but that's pretty much where the similarity ends. She doesn't go in for pack mentality, and has dug in her heels on a number of issues that have occasionally put her at odds with her own Clan. Especially after she took Praxis of Chicago from Petronius. Now her speech is more florid and formal, her dress conservative, her smile a bit more forced, her movements deliberate, her alliances careful.

The attempt on her life seems to have changed her some. The removal of her position as Prince by the Justicariate has definitely affected her. But the thing that has without a doubt tipped her over the edge is the death of her lover [[Jack Sebastien]].

==Known History==
Was an inmate of Auschwitz prior to Embrace. A resident of Chicago since 1997. Has outlived four Kindred husbands in fifteen years. Originally a resident and one of the longest-standing Primogen of Chicago, she relocated briefly before the Siege of Chicago and resided in Champaign around the turn of the milennium under Princes [[James Jones]] and [[Philip Walkin]]. Was Archon [[Jon Sebastian]]'s constant companion for several years, the two were rarely seen apart. Fought alongside former Justicar [[Masako]] during the Sabbat siege of Chicago in 2000 and returned permanently to reside in the city shortly thereafter. Took Praxis of Chicago from Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]] in December of 2009.

Attacked by two Sabbat assassins in front of the Drake Hotel on May 28, 2011 and presumed destroyed. Reemerged in Chicago and reclaimed her Praxis from [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]] almost exactly four months later on September 24, 2011.

After her reemergence in Kindred society, she was dogged by some highly disturbing rumors, most notably that she was an infernalist impostor. On November 26, 2011 she was publically cleared of all suspicion of infernalism by Archon [[Elias Beecher]] of Justicar [[Maris Streck]]'s office and Archon [[Terminus]] of Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]]'s office, as well as passing a private inquiry by Archon [[Saul Good]] of Justicar [[Cock Robin]]'s office, and a personal inquiry by Justicar [[Jaroslav Pascek]] himself.

To sum it up: totes not infernal, y'all.

At the Midwinter gathering of 2012, she noticeably went missing from the battle with Moloch, earning more than a little spite and derision from those Brujah who claimed that she willfully ignored a Call to Arms. Her explanation that she was "fighting on a different front" was met with confusion. She also garnered a fair amount of scandal by attacking Archon [[Kate Davidson]] in front of hundreds of people, actually ripping out a huge chunk of her hair and throwing it on the ground as the Archon was walking [[Paul Walker]] into a private room for interrogation. It was later discovered to be a hairpiece.

Judicially conclaved at Midwinter 2013 and removed from her position as Prince of Chicago on January 18, 2013. She was also stripped of one of her Feared names. Details of this Conclave released recently are nebulous about what, if any, crimes she was found guilty of, but the oddly worded decision was released all the same. She was seen briefly the evening after this conclave wearing [[Jack Sebastien]]'s clothes and looking pissed. She disappeared after the gathering...only to reappear in Chicago a month later, where she walked in escorted by new Prince Francis Merivein, and was immediately appointed Primogen.

On May 24, 2013, Archon [[Jack Sebastien]] was murdered by known infernalist [[Elias Beecher]]. This murder was two years almost to the day as the attempt on her life by the still-unknown assailants that nearly killed her. Katja has since been seen a scant handful of times at her local Court, acting erratically, getting drunk, and on one occasion, weeping openly.

==Coterie==
"Hahahahaha. Coterie? I am alone."

==Allies==

"I have no friends. All my friends are dead."

==Enemies==

"I have no enemies. All my enemies are dead."

==Sire==
Unknown. Was a drive-by embrace.

==Childer==
"Biological": [[Silas Christian]], [[Oliver Freigh]], [[Mila Nothing-Llyandryn]]

Considered [[Spectre Llyandryn]] her son, and no one really attempted to dissuade her of that notion. He was disowned after joining the Sabbat.

==Broodmates==
Unknown.

==Character Inspirations==
Physically, a young Shirley Manson. In concept, I owe a lot to Edith Hahn Beer and Art Spiegelman. And Marvel's Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow.

==Quotes==
"Men."

"She makes an excellent projectile." ~[[Jon Sebastian]]

"[[Katja Nothing]] is my kinda lady. Headstrong, intelligent, ambitious. It's too bad the Children of Haquim are dragging her down." -[[Johnathan Gwynn]]

"You're certainly not the ''typical'' Brujah." - [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]]

"I want to be you when I grow up." - [[Lena!]]

[[Paul Walker]]: "Emery, I'm sorry things didn't work out between you and Katja. I'm planning a golf outing next week for the rest of Katja's exes. You should come along." 
[[Emery Llyandryn]]: "What? You guys have a club? Like the 7 Evil Exes from Scott Pilgrim?" 
[[Paul Walker]]: "Oh, there's a ''lot'' more than 7 of us, Emery." 

"I say the following with all appropriate respect to your station and accomplishments, but while you would be my very first choice if I were shopping for a pair of Manolo Blahniks, I don't think you would know what a demon looks like, let alone are infernal." - Archon [[Elias Beecher]]

Sabbat member: "You're the Prince of Chicago, huh? We're coming for you, girl." 
Katja: (rolls eyes) "I call that Tuesday. ''You're'' coming for me, ''they're'' coming for me, the ''Tremere'' are coming for me...when is someone ''not'' coming for me? You're going to have to try harder than that to frighten me."

"I heard your ex-husband was going to be coming to court tonight." (beat) "Oh. I should probably narrow it down and tell you which one." - [[Christopher Matthews]]

Katja, to unknown: "A whole ''flock'' of birdies have been singing to me about what you've been up to lately. A friend of mine likes to say that we're never as clever as we think we are - and you, ''darling'', are ''so'' not clever."

[[Lan Blackwood]]:"No more marriages? Don't you miss the honeymoons?" 
Katja: "Darling, you don't even know. It's ''all'' honeymoon for me, now."

Katja, to an assemblage of Princes: "Children of Haqim are always, without hesitation, welcome in my city and at my Courts, and I have told them as much and asked them to tell their brothers of it as well. Despite the injuries I have suffered in recent nights, my offer to their family still stands and will remain standing as long as I am Prince of Chicago. If you don't want them in your City or on your Court, that's your business. I will gladly recieve your refugees with open arms in my own Domain."

"Archon [[Jon-Apolo de Soult|de Soult]], I have warned you multiple times: This is an Elysium, not a gun show." - Katja, on a certain archon's physique.

Katja, on recent events out East: "You think they screwed the pooch on this one? Total understatement. Not only did they screw the pooch, they videotaped it, and posted it on YouTube with 'Yakity Sax' playing in the background."

"I'm alive, I'm here. But they took it from me. ''He'' took it from me. I'm you now, [[Jack Sebastien|Jack]]."

"If you really loved him, you'd have gone with him, Anya."

"You wasted our time. We will require more from you." - [[Titus Petronius Niger]]

==Quotes==
"Men."

"She makes an excellent projectile." ~[[Jon Sebastian]]

"[[Katja Nothing]] is my kinda lady. Headstrong, intelligent, ambitious. It's too bad the Children of Haquim are dragging her down." -[[Johnathan Gwynn]]

"You're certainly not the ''typical'' Brujah." - [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]]

"I want to be you when I grow up." - [[Lena!]]

[[Paul Walker]]: "Emery, I'm sorry things didn't work out between you and Katja. I'm planning a golf outing next week for the rest of Katja's exes. You should come along." 
[[Emery Llyandryn]]: "What? You guys have a club? Like the 7 Evil Exes from Scott Pilgrim?" 
[[Paul Walker]]: "Oh, there's a ''lot'' more than 7 of us, Emery." 

"I say the following with all appropriate respect to your station and accomplishments, but while you would be my very first choice if I were shopping for a pair of Manolo Blahniks, I don't think you would know what a demon looks like, let alone are infernal." - Archon [[Elias Beecher]]

Sabbat member: "You're the Prince of Chicago, huh? We're coming for you, girl." 
Katja: (rolls eyes) "I call that Tuesday. ''You're'' coming for me, ''they're'' coming for me, the ''Tremere'' are coming for me...when is someone ''not'' coming for me? You're going to have to try harder than that to frighten me."

"I heard your ex-husband was going to be coming to court tonight." (beat) "Oh. I should probably narrow it down and tell you which one." - [[Christopher Matthews]]

Katja, to unknown: "A whole ''flock'' of birdies have been singing to me about what you've been up to lately. A friend of mine likes to say that we're never as clever as we think we are - and you, ''darling'', are ''so'' not clever."

[[Lan Blackwood]]:"No more marriages? Don't you miss the honeymoons?" 
Katja: "Darling, you don't even know. It's ''all'' honeymoon for me, now."

Katja, to an assemblage of Princes: "Children of Haqim are always, without hesitation, welcome in my city and at my Courts, and I have told them as much and asked them to tell their brothers of it as well. Despite the injuries I have suffered in recent nights, my offer to their family still stands and will remain standing as long as I am Prince of Chicago. If you don't want them in your City or on your Court, that's your business. I will gladly recieve your refugees with open arms in my own Domain."

"Archon [[Jon-Apolo de Soult|de Soult]], I have warned you multiple times: This is an Elysium, not a gun show." - Katja, on a certain archon's physique.

Katja, on recent events out East: "You think they screwed the pooch on this one? Total understatement. Not only did they screw the pooch, they videotaped it, and posted it on YouTube with 'Yakity Sax' playing in the background."

"I'm alive, I'm here. But they took it from me. ''He'' took it from me. I'm you now, [[Jack Sebastien|Jack]]."

"If you really loved him, you'd have gone with him, Anya."

"You wasted our time. We will require more from you." - [[Titus Petronius Niger]]

** And by that we mean [[Jack Sebastien|"angry pariahs"]].

****Publicly confirmed at the Grand Gathering in the Bay Area in May, to a distinct lack of surprise.

** "It doesn't matter. Kate is dead."

* More than a few Brujah women have taken to wearing anklebreaker heels as a point of fashion when visiting her Court. She approves of this and often praises their taste in shoes.

=Character Information=

[[File:KatWiki.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Kat at Court, photo by Meredith Gerber]] She's been everywhere and nowhere. Always in the background, always the source of the cynicism, dry wit and scathing snark from the back of the room. When she'd gotten off the plane at O'Hare International Airport in September of 1997, she'd had a thick Russian accent, a moderate grasp of the English language, a pair of four-inch stiletto boots, a pack of cigarettes, a tattoo of six numbers on her left forearm, and jaded eyes. Only the accent and the linguistics have changed in the past thirteen years.

The woman is never seen in public without at least one man on her arm, whether it's a husband, a childer, a fellow clanmate, an Archon, a Prince...you name it. At large events and gatherings, she invariably has multiple dates...and an entourage to boot, mostly men of high standing and Camarilla position. She's left a string of dead husbands in her wake, none, she will assure you kindly, deceased by her own hand. Some of the Brujah call her "Black Widow" behind her back. And to her face.

But she can charm them, somehow; she's always got a wink and a smile, a throaty laugh and a sly sidelong look for those she calls "her boys". If she ''really'' likes you, she'll shower you with little endearments: pumpkin, sugar, honey, sweetheart, darling. She's fiercely protective and unendingly loyal to those she calls family. G-d help you if you so much as look at her childer sideways, or lay hands upon those that she loves.

It seems like she knows nearly everyone, almost everywhere. She boldly calls several Archons by their first names rather than their titles, reminding some of them not-so-subtly that she remembers when they were just little stripling things, learning at her knee or fighting by her side. At the Springfield Conclave of 2001, she'd gotten more applause than some of the Justicars when she was introduced, irritating then-Justicar Malaphar of the Tremere considerably.

She's not much like the rest of the Rabble, at least, as far as outward appearances go. Sure, she's quick-tempered, but that's pretty much where the similarity ends. She doesn't go in for pack mentality, and has dug in her heels on a number of issues that have occasionally put her at odds with her own Clan. Especially after she took Praxis of Chicago from Petronius. Now her speech is more florid and formal, her dress conservative, her smile a bit more forced, her movements deliberate, her alliances careful.

The attempt on her life seems to have changed her some. The removal of her position as Prince by the Justicariate definitely has affected her. But the thing that tipped her over the edge is the death of her lover [[Jack Sebastien]].

==Known History==
Was an inmate of Auschwitz prior to Embrace. A resident of Chicago since 1997. Has outlived four Kindred husbands in fifteen years. Originally a resident and one of the longest-standing Primogen of Chicago, she relocated briefly before the Siege of Chicago and resided in Champaign around the turn of the milennium under Princes [[James Jones]] and [[Philip Walkin]]. Was Archon [[Jon Sebastian]]'s constant companion for several years, the two were rarely seen apart. Fought alongside former Justicar [[Masako]] during the Sabbat siege of Chicago in 2000 and returned permanently to reside in the city shortly thereafter. Took Praxis of Chicago from Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]] in December of 2009.

Attacked by two Sabbat assassins in front of the Drake Hotel on May 28, 2011 and presumed destroyed. Reemerged in Chicago and reclaimed her Praxis from [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]] almost exactly four months later on September 24, 2011.

After her reemergence in Kindred society, she was dogged by some highly disturbing rumors, most notably that she was an infernalist impostor. On November 26, 2011 she was publically cleared of all suspicion of infernalism by Archon [[Elias Beecher]] of Justicar [[Maris Streck]]'s office and Archon [[Terminus]] of Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]]'s office, as well as passing a private inquiry by Archon [[Saul Good]] of Justicar [[Cock Robin]]'s office, and a personal inquiry by Justicar [[Jaroslav Pascek]] himself.

To sum it up: totes not infernal, y'all.

At the Midwinter gathering of 2012, she noticeably went missing from the battle with Moloch, earning more than a little spite and derision from those Brujah who claimed that she willfully ignored a Call to Arms. Her explanation that she was "fighting on a different front" was met with confusion. She also garnered a fair amount of scandal by attacking Archon [[Kate Davidson]] in front of hundreds of people, actually ripping out a huge chunk of her hair and throwing it on the ground as the Archon was walking [[Paul Walker]] into a private room for interrogation. It was later discovered to be a hairpiece.

Judicially conclaved at Midwinter 2013 and removed from her position as Prince of Chicago on January 18, 2013. She was also stripped of one of her Feared names. Details of this Conclave released recently are nebulous about what, if any, crimes she was found guilty of, but the oddly worded decision was released all the same. She was seen briefly the evening after this conclave wearing [[Jack Sebastien]]'s clothes and looking pissed. She disappeared after the gathering...only to reappear in Chicago a month later, where she walked in escorted by new Prince Francis Merivein, and was immediately appointed Primogen.

On May 24, 2013, Archon [[Jack Sebastien]] was murdered by known infernalist [[Elias Beecher]]. This murder was two years almost to the day as the attempt on her life by the still-unknown assailants that nearly killed her. Katja has since been seen a scant handful of times at her local Court, acting erratically, getting drunk, and on one occasion, weeping openly.

==Coterie==
"Hahahahaha. Coterie? I am alone."

==Allies==

"I have no friends. All my friends are dead."

==Enemies==

"I have no enemies. All my enemies are dead."

==Sire==
Unknown. Was a drive-by embrace.

==Childer==
"Biological": [[Silas Christian]], [[Oliver Freigh]], [[Mila Nothing-Llyandryn]]

Considered [[Spectre Llyandryn]] her son, and no one really attempted to dissuade her of that notion. He was disowned after joining the Sabbat.

==Broodmates==
Unknown.

==Character Inspirations==
Physically, a young Shirley Manson. In concept, I owe a lot to Edith Hahn Beer and Art Spiegelman. And Marvel's Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow.

G-d help you if you so much as look at her childer sideways, or lay hands upon those that she loves.

It seems like she knows nearly everyone, almost everywhere. She boldly calls several Archons by their first names rather than their titles, reminding some of them not-so-subtly that she remembers when they were just little stripling things, learning at her knee or fighting by her side. At the Springfield Conclave of 2001, she'd gotten more applause than some of the Justicars when she was introduced, irritating then-Justicar Malaphar of the Tremere considerably.

She's not much like the rest of the Rabble, at least, as far as outward appearances go. Sure, she's quick-tempered, but that's pretty much where the similarity ends. She doesn't go in for pack mentality, and has dug in her heels on a number of issues that have occasionally put her at odds with her own Clan. Especially after she took Praxis of Chicago from Petronius. Now her speech is more florid and formal, her dress conservative, her smile a bit more forced, her movements deliberate, her alliances careful.

The attempt on her life seems to have changed her some. The removal of her position as Prince by the Justicariate definitely has. Time will tell if the change is for the better, or worse.

==Known History==
Was an inmate of Auschwitz prior to Embrace. A resident of Chicago since 1997. Has outlived four Kindred husbands in fifteen years. Originally a resident and one of the longest-standing Primogen of Chicago, she relocated briefly before the Siege of Chicago and resided in Champaign around the turn of the milennium under Princes [[James Jones]] and [[Philip Walkin]]. Was Archon [[Jon Sebastian]]'s constant companion for several years, the two were rarely seen apart. Fought alongside former Justicar [[Masako]] during the Sabbat siege of Chicago in 2000 and returned permanently to reside in the city shortly thereafter. Took Praxis of Chicago from Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]] in December of 2009.

Attacked by two Sabbat assassins in front of the Drake Hotel on May 28, 2011 and presumed destroyed. Reemerged in Chicago and reclaimed her Praxis from [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]] almost exactly four months later on September 24, 2011.

After her reemergence in Kindred society, she was dogged by some highly disturbing rumors, most notably that she was an infernalist impostor. On November 26, 2011 she was publically cleared of all suspicion of infernalism by Archon [[Elias Beecher]] of Justicar [[Maris Streck]]'s office and Archon [[Terminus]] of Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]]'s office, as well as passing a private inquiry by Archon [[Saul Good]] of Justicar [[Cock Robin]]'s office, and a personal inquiry by Justicar [[Jaroslav Pascek]] himself.

To sum it up: totes not infernal, y'all.

At the Midwinter gathering of 2012, she noticeably went missing from the battle with Moloch, earning more than a little spite and derision from those Brujah who claimed that she willfully ignored a Call to Arms. Her explanation that she was "fighting on a different front" was met with confusion. She also garnered a fair amount of scandal by attacking Archon [[Kate Davidson]] in front of hundreds of people, actually ripping out a huge chunk of her hair and throwing it on the ground as the Archon was walking [[Paul Walker]] into a private room for interrogation. It was later discovered to be a hairpiece.

Judicially conclaved at Midwinter 2013 and removed from her position as Prince of Chicago on January 18, 2013. She was also stripped of one of her Feared names. Details of this Conclave released recently are nebulous about what, if any, crimes she was found guilty of, but the oddly worded decision was released all the same. She was seen briefly the evening after this conclave wearing [[Jack Sebastien]]'s clothes and looking pissed. She disappeared after the gathering...only to reappear in Chicago a month later, where she walked in escorted by new Prince Francis Merivein, and was immediately appointed Primogen.

"Men."

"She makes an excellent projectile." ~[[Jon Sebastian]]

"[[Katja Nothing]] is my kinda lady. Headstrong, intelligent, ambitious. It's too bad the Children of Haquim are dragging her down." -[[Johnathan Gwynn]]

"You're certainly not the ''typical'' Brujah." - [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]]

"I want to be you when I grow up." - [[Lena!]]

[[Paul Walker]]: "Emery, I'm sorry things didn't work out between you and Katja. I'm planning a golf outing next week for the rest of Katja's exes. You should come along." 
[[Emery Llyandryn]]: "What? You guys have a club? Like the 7 Evil Exes from Scott Pilgrim?" 
[[Paul Walker]]: "Oh, there's a ''lot'' more than 7 of us, Emery." 

"I say the following with all appropriate respect to your station and accomplishments, but while you would be my very first choice if I were shopping for a pair of Manolo Blahniks, I don't think you would know what a demon looks like, let alone are infernal." - Archon [[Elias Beecher]]

Sabbat member: "You're the Prince of Chicago, huh? We're coming for you, girl." 
Katja: (rolls eyes) "I call that Tuesday. ''You're'' coming for me, ''they're'' coming for me, the ''Tremere'' are coming for me...when is someone ''not'' coming for me? You're going to have to try harder than that to frighten me."

"I heard your ex-husband was going to be coming to court tonight." (beat) "Oh. I should probably narrow it down and tell you which one." - [[Christopher Matthews]]

Katja, to unknown: "A whole ''flock'' of birdies have been singing to me about what you've been up to lately. A friend of mine likes to say that we're never as clever as we think we are - and you, ''darling'', are ''so'' not clever."

[[Lan Blackwood]]:"No more marriages? Don't you miss the honeymoons?" 
Katja: "Darling, you don't even know. It's ''all'' honeymoon for me, now."

Katja, to an assemblage of Princes: "Children of Haqim are always, without hesitation, welcome in my city and at my Courts, and I have told them as much and asked them to tell their brothers of it as well. Despite the injuries I have suffered in recent nights, my offer to their family still stands and will remain standing as long as I am Prince of Chicago. If you don't want them in your City or on your Court, that's your business. I will gladly recieve your refugees with open arms in my own Domain."

"Archon [[Jon-Apolo de Soult|de Soult]], I have warned you multiple times: This is an Elysium, not a gun show." - Katja, on a certain archon's physique.

Katja, on recent events out East: "You think they screwed the pooch on this one? Total understatement. Not only did they screw the pooch, they videotaped it, and posted it on YouTube with 'Yakity Sax' playing in the background."

"I'm alive, I'm here. But they took it from me. ''He'' took it from me. I'm you now, [[Jack Sebastien|Jack]]."

"If you really loved him, you'd have gone with him, Anya."

"You wasted our time. We will require more from you." - [[Titus Petronius Niger]]

* Some of her childer refer to [[Johnathan Gwynn]] as "Uncle Johnny".

=Character Information=

[[File:KatWiki.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Kat at Court, photo by Meredith Gerber]] She's been everywhere and nowhere. Always in the background, always the source of the cynicism, dry wit and scathing snark from the back of the room. When she'd gotten off the plane at O'Hare International Airport in September of 1997, she'd had a thick Russian accent, a moderate grasp of the English language, a pair of four-inch stiletto boots, a pack of cigarettes, a tattoo of six numbers on her left forearm, and jaded eyes. Only the accent and the linguistics have changed in the past thirteen years.

The woman is never seen in public without at least one man on her arm, whether it's a husband, a childer, a fellow clanmate, an Archon, a Prince...you name it. At large events and gatherings, she invariably has multiple dates...and an entourage to boot, mostly men of high standing and Camarilla position. She's left a string of dead husbands in her wake, none, she will assure you kindly, deceased by her own hand. Some of the Brujah call her "Black Widow" behind her back. And to her face.

But she can charm them, somehow; she's always got a wink and a smile, a throaty laugh and a sly sidelong look for those she calls "her boys". If she ''really'' likes you, she'll shower you with little endearments: pumpkin, sugar, honey, sweetheart, darling. She's fiercely protective and unendingly loyal to those she calls family. G-d help you if you so much as look at her childer sideways, or lay hands upon those that she loves.

It seems like she knows nearly everyone, almost everywhere. She boldly calls several Archons by their first names rather than their titles, reminding some of them not-so-subtly that she remembers when they were just little stripling things, learning at her knee or fighting by her side. At the Springfield Conclave of 2001, she'd gotten more applause than some of the Justicars when she was introduced, irritating then-Justicar Malaphar of the Tremere considerably.

She's not much like the rest of the Rabble, at least, as far as outward appearances go. Sure, she's quick-tempered, but that's pretty much where the similarity ends.

* After speaking to him privately at Midwinter 2012, [[Elias Beecher]], previously thought dead in the battle the prior evening, was seen to have been talking to her very seriously, before concluding the conversation by standing on his tiptoes and kissing her on the cheek.

* For someone who supposedly hates women, she sure does seem to enjoy the company of [[Isabella Visconti]]. Maybe a little too much.

* Something in the past few months has taken her attention so much she's canceled Court repeatedly.

* Started a charity in Indonesia where poor orphan children learn valuable job skills making knock-off Christian Louboutins

* More than a few Brujah women have taken to wearing anklebreaker heels as a point of fashion when visiting her Court. She approves of this and often praises their taste in shoes.

* Was 'motorboated' by [[Mallory Jones]] at the Grand Gathering in Berkeley in May, because she "just couldn't help it, I mean, look at those things!"

* Was named as one half of the Brujah Power Couple of the Year along with [[Jack Sebastien|this guy]].
** Don't you mean 3/4's of the Brujah Power Couple of the Year? I might it's only [[Jack Sebastien|this guy]]

* Was one of the last people seen talking to [[Elias Beecher]] before he mysteriously disappeared at the Grand Elysium in Columbus, 2012. She looked deeply uncomfortable during the course of their brief conversation.
* Keeps a Tremere in her Domain that looks oddly similar to [[Philip Walkin]]

* Has admitted to "trading sexual favors for goods" in public.

* In the announcement of the results of her Judicial Conclave, she was the only one whose charges were not publicly elaborated upon.
** Some say this is because a certain bargain was made...
*** Others think there's an even deeper, darker reason than that.

* She's single again.

=Character Information=

[[File:KatWiki.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Kat at Court, photo by Meredith Gerber]] She's been everywhere and nowhere. Always in the background, always the source of the cynicism, dry wit and scathing snark from the back of the room. When she'd gotten off the plane at O'Hare International Airport in September of 1997, she'd had a thick Russian accent, a moderate grasp of the English language, a pair of four-inch stiletto boots, a pack of cigarettes, a tattoo of six numbers on her left forearm, and jaded eyes. Only the accent and the linguistics have changed in the past thirteen years.

The woman is never seen in public without at least one man on her arm, whether it's a husband, a childer, a fellow clanmate, an Archon, a Prince...you name it. At large events and gatherings, she invariably has multiple dates...and an entourage to boot, mostly men of high standing and Camarilla position. She's left a string of dead husbands in her wake, none, she will assure you kindly, deceased by her own hand. Some of the Brujah call her "Black Widow" behind her back. And to her face.

But she can charm them, somehow; she's always got a wink and a smile, a throaty laugh and a sly sidelong look for those she calls "her boys". If she ''really'' likes you, she'll shower you with little endearments: pumpkin, sugar, honey, sweetheart, darling. She's fiercely protective and unendingly loyal to those she calls family. G-d help you if you so much as look at her childer sideways, or lay hands upon those that she loves.

It seems like she knows nearly everyone, almost everywhere. She boldly calls several Archons by their first names rather than their titles, reminding some of them not-so-subtly that she remembers when they were just little stripling things, learning at her knee or fighting by her side. At the Springfield Conclave of 2001, she'd gotten more applause than some of the Justicars when she was introduced, irritating then-Justicar Malaphar of the Tremere considerably.

She's not much like the rest of the Rabble, at least, as far as outward appearances go. Sure, she's quick-tempered, but that's pretty much where the similarity ends. She doesn't go in for pack mentality, and has dug in her heels on a number of issues that have occasionally put her at odds with her own Clan. Especially after she took Praxis of Chicago from Petronius. Now her speech is more florid and formal, her dress conservative, her smile a bit more forced, her movements deliberate, her alliances careful.

The attempt on her life seems to have changed her some. The removal of her position as Prince by the Justicariate definitely has. Time will tell if the change is for the better, or worse.

==Known History==
Was an inmate of Auschwitz prior to Embrace. A resident of Chicago since 1997. Has outlived four Kindred husbands in fifteen years. Originally a resident and one of the longest-standing Primogen of Chicago, she relocated briefly before the Siege of Chicago and resided in Champaign around the turn of the milennium under Princes [[James Jones]] and [[Philip Walkin]]. Was Archon [[Jon Sebastian]]'s constant companion for several years, the two were rarely seen apart. Fought alongside former Justicar [[Masako]] during the Sabbat siege of Chicago in 2000 and returned permanently to reside in the city shortly thereafter. Took Praxis of Chicago from Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]] in December of 2009.

Attacked by two Sabbat assassins in front of the Drake Hotel on May 28, 2011 and presumed destroyed. Reemerged in Chicago and reclaimed her Praxis from [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]] almost exactly four months later on September 24, 2011.

After her reemergence in Kindred society, she was dogged by some highly disturbing rumors, most notably that she was an infernalist impostor. On November 26, 2011 she was publically cleared of all suspicion of infernalism by Archon [[Elias Beecher]] of Justicar [[Maris Streck]]'s office and Archon [[Terminus]] of Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]]'s office, as well as passing a private inquiry by Archon [[Saul Good]] of Justicar [[Cock Robin]]'s office, and a personal inquiry by Justicar [[Jaroslav Pascek]] himself.

To sum it up: totes not infernal, y'all.

At the Midwinter gathering of 2012, she noticeably went missing from the battle with Moloch, earning more than a little spite and derision from those Brujah who claimed that she willfully ignored a Call to Arms. Her explanation that she was "fighting on a different front" was met with confusion. She also garnered a fair amount of scandal by attacking Archon [[Kate Davidson]] in front of hundreds of people, actually ripping out a huge chunk of her hair and throwing it on the ground as the Archon was walking [[Paul Walker]] into a private room for interrogation. It was later discovered to be a hairpiece.

Judicially conclaved at Midwinter 2013 and removed from her position as Prince of Chicago on January 18, 2013. She was also stripped of one of her Feared names. Details of this Conclave released recently are nebulous about what, if any, crimes she was found guilty of, but the oddly worded decision was released all the same. She was seen briefly the evening after this conclave wearing [[Jack Sebastien]]'s clothes and looking pissed. She disappeared after the gathering...only to reappear in Chicago a month later, where she walked in escorted by new Prince Francis Merivein, and was immediately appointed Primogen.

==Coterie==
"Oh darling, affiliation with coteries are so ''dangerous'' these days. I try to avoid them, and if you're smart, you will too."

==Allies==

"I have no friends. All my friends are dead."

==Enemies==

"I have no enemies. All my enemies are dead."

==Sire==
Unknown. Was a drive-by embrace.

==Childer==
"Biological": [[Silas Christian]], [[Oliver Freigh]], [[Mila Nothing-Llyandryn]]

Considered [[Spectre Llyandryn]] her son, and no one really attempted to dissuade her of that notion. He was disowned after joining the Sabbat.

==Broodmates==
Unknown.

==Character Inspirations==
Physically, a young Shirley Manson. In concept, I owe a lot to Edith Hahn Beer and Art Spiegelman. And Marvel's Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow.

==Quotes==
"Men."

"She makes an excellent projectile." ~[[Jon Sebastian]]

"[[Katja Nothing]] is my kinda lady. Headstrong, intelligent, ambitious. It's too bad the Children of Haquim are dragging her down." -[[Johnathan Gwynn]]

"You're certainly not the ''typical'' Brujah." - [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]]

"I want to be you when I grow up." - [[Lena!]]

[[Paul Walker]]: "Emery, I'm sorry things didn't work out between you and Katja. I'm planning a golf outing next week for the rest of Katja's exes. You should come along." 
[[Emery Llyandryn]]: "What? You guys have a club? Like the 7 Evil Exes from Scott Pilgrim?" 
[[Paul Walker]]: "Oh, there's a ''lot'' more than 7 of us, Emery." 

"I say the following with all appropriate respect to your station and accomplishments, but while you would be my very first choice if I were shopping for a pair of Manolo Blahniks, I don't think you would know what a demon looks like, let alone are infernal." - Archon [[Elias Beecher]]

Sabbat member: "You're the Prince of Chicago, huh? We're coming for you, girl." 
Katja: (rolls eyes) "I call that Tuesday. ''You're'' coming for me, ''they're'' coming for me, the ''Tremere'' are coming for me...when is someone ''not'' coming for me? You're going to have to try harder than that to frighten me."

"I heard your ex-husband was going to be coming to court tonight." (beat) "Oh. I should probably narrow it down and tell you which one." - [[Christopher Matthews]]

Katja, to unknown: "A whole ''flock'' of birdies have been singing to me about what you've been up to lately. A friend of mine likes to say that we're never as clever as we think we are - and you, ''darling'', are ''so'' not clever."

[[Lan Blackwood]]:"No more marriages? Don't you miss the honeymoons?" 
Katja: "Darling, you don't even know. It's ''all'' honeymoon for me, now."

Katja, to an assemblage of Princes: "Children of Haqim are always, without hesitation, welcome in my city and at my Courts, and I have told them as much and asked them to tell their brothers of it as well. Despite the injuries I have suffered in recent nights, my offer to their family still stands and will remain standing as long as I am Prince of Chicago. If you don't want them in your City or on your Court, that's your business. I will gladly recieve your refugees with open arms in my own Domain."

"Archon [[Jon-Apolo de Soult|de Soult]], I have warned you multiple times: This is an Elysium, not a gun show." - Katja, on a certain archon's physique.

Katja, on recent events out East: "You think they screwed the pooch on this one? Total understatement. Not only did they screw the pooch, they videotaped it, and posted it on YouTube with 'Yakity Sax' playing in the background."

"I'm alive, I'm here. But they took it from me. ''He'' took it from me. I'm you now, [[Jack Sebastien|Jack]]."

"If you really loved him, you'd have gone with him, Anya."

"You wasted our time. We will require more from you." - [[Titus Petronius Niger]]

==Rumors==
* All her dates to Midwinter have ended up as Archons within a year.

* Was affiliated with the Setites for some time in the late nineties. She got over it.

* It is speculated that some if not all of the individuals she claims are her "children" are not, in fact, her own.

* Some think she may have been a Hunter childe rather than a real Brujah.

* All of her children are instructed to address [[Victoria Hunter]] as "Auntie".

* Some of her childer refer to [[Johnathan Gwynn]] as "Uncle Johnny".

* Malaphar wanted her destroyed at the 2001 Conclave for recieving more applause during presentations as her Clan representative than he did as a Justicar. Thus began her trouble with the Tremere.

* Supposedly hates women, and only tolerates them publically because she has to.

* One more than one occasion has tried to play matchmaker for [[Victoria Hunter]]. Katja just wants to see her settled down and happy.

* Texts more than a fourteen-year old girl. Her phone rarely leaves her hand.

* The murder attempt on Katja's life in 2011 may have been perpetrated by the Sabbat, but it was engineered and aided by the Tremere.

* [[Paul Walker]] is the de facto leader of her League of Evil Exes.
** With his death, the League is now in chaos.

* Took home three of the Championship belts from [[The Belt Game]] at Midwinter 2011.
** Was assisted by Archon [[Francis Merivein]] in the acquiring of said belts.

* Was propositioned by Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]] after seizing Praxis of Chicago from him. She declined his advances.

* Is infernal and an impostor claiming to be her.
** Is infernal and part of a Lilith cult.

* Is not infernal, and just has the luck of the Devil instead.
**It's because she's a devout Jew and is one of the "chosen people".

* Has a bit of a shoe fetish.

* Has a secret lover.

* The lover is a Tremere, which is why the Clan wants to kill her so badly.
** Has been seen being ''very'' close to [[Philip Walkin]] since his reemergence in Kindred society.
*** Then, of course, there's [[Jon-Apolo de Soult|this guy]].
**** That guy is a dead man if someone finds out.

* The lover is a Brujah, because she's "learned to stick with her own kind".
** And by that we mean [[Jack Sebastien|"angry pariahs"]].
*** If true, it would be her longest running relationship to date, an intriguing bit of trivia to say the least.
****Publicly confirmed at the Grand Gathering in the Bay Area in May, to a distinct lack of surprise.
*****Which made her kind of sad.

* The lover is an Archon of questionable reputation.
** Or at least, he used to be. An archon, that is. He still has a questionable rep.
*** Now an Archon again. She warned him what would happen if she took him to Midwinter.

* All of the above speculations are correct and she's two-timing them both.

* Has refused Archonship positions three times, with two different Justicars.

* Every last pair of her impossibly high heels have been refitted with wood, a trick she taught to [[Victoria Hunter]].

* Justicar [[Lotharius]] and his agents have taken a very personal interest in her, bordering on obsession.
** Interestingly, he was very noticeably absent from her Judicial Conclave...

* After her attack on [[Kate Davidson]] at Midwinter 2012, some heard her snarl wordlessly, others could have sworn she hissed "stay away from him". No one is certain what prompted this...or who the "him" she was referencing could be. If she even said that at all.

* After speaking to him privately at Midwinter 2012, [[Elias Beecher]], previously thought dead in the battle the prior evening, was seen to have been talking to her very seriously, before concluding the conversation by standing on his tiptoes and kissing her on the cheek.

* For someone who supposedly hates women, she sure does seem to enjoy the company of [[Isabella Visconti]]. Maybe a little too much.

* Something in the past few months has taken her attention so much she's canceled Court repeatedly.

* Started a charity in Indonesia where poor orphan children learn valuable job skills making knock-off Christian Louboutins

* More than a few Brujah women have taken to wearing anklebreaker heels as a point of fashion when visiting her Court. She approves of this and often praises their taste in shoes.

* Was 'motorboated' by [[Mallory Jones]] at the Grand Gathering in Berkeley in May, because she "just couldn't help it, I mean, look at those things!"

* Was named as one half of the Brujah Power Couple of the Year along with [[Jack Sebastien|this guy]].
** Don't you mean 3/4's of the Brujah Power Couple of the Year? I might it's only [[Jack Sebastien|this guy]]

* Was one of the last people seen talking to [[Elias Beecher]] before he mysteriously disappeared at the Grand Elysium in Columbus, 2012. She looked deeply uncomfortable during the course of their brief conversation.

Katja: (rolls eyes) "I call that Tuesday. ''You're'' coming for me, ''they're'' coming for me, the ''Tremere'' are coming for me...when is someone ''not'' coming for me? You're going to have to try harder than that to frighten me."

"I heard your ex-husband was going to be coming to court tonight." (beat) "Oh. I should probably narrow it down and tell you which one." - [[Christopher Matthews]]

Katja, to unknown: "A whole ''flock'' of birdies have been singing to me about what you've been up to lately. A friend of mine likes to say that we're never as clever as we think we are - and you, ''darling'', are ''so'' not clever."

[[Lan Blackwood]]:"No more marriages? Don't you miss the honeymoons?" 
Katja: "Darling, you don't even know. It's ''all'' honeymoon for me, now."

Katja, to an assemblage of Princes: "Children of Haqim are always, without hesitation, welcome in my city and at my Courts, and I have told them as much and asked them to tell their brothers of it as well. Despite the injuries I have suffered in recent nights, my offer to their family still stands and will remain standing as long as I am Prince of Chicago. If you don't want them in your City or on your Court, that's your business. I will gladly recieve your refugees with open arms in my own Domain."

"Archon [[Jon-Apolo de Soult|de Soult]], I have warned you multiple times: This is an Elysium, not a gun show." - Katja, on a certain archon's physique.

Katja, on recent events out East: "You think they screwed the pooch on this one? Total understatement. Not only did they screw the pooch, they videotaped it, and posted it on YouTube with 'Yakity Sax' playing in the background."

"I'm alive, I'm here. But they took it from me. ''He'' took it from me. I'm you now, [[Jack Sebastien|Jack]]."

"If you really loved him, you'd have gone with him, Anya."

"You wasted our time. We will require more from you." - [[Titus Petronius Niger]]

* All of her children are instructed to address [[Victoria Hunter]] as "Auntie".

* Some of her childer refer to [[Johnathan Gwynn]] as "Uncle Johnny".

* Texts more than a fourteen-year old girl. Her phone rarely leaves her hand.

* The murder attempt on Katja's life in 2011 may have been perpetrated by the Sabbat, but it was engineered and aided by the Tremere.

* Has a secret lover.

* The lover is a Tremere, which is why the Clan wants to kill her so badly.
** Has been seen being ''very'' close to [[Philip Walkin]] since his reemergence in Kindred society.
*** Then, of course, there's [[Jon-Apolo de Soult|this guy]].
**** That guy is a dead man if someone finds out.

* The lover is a Brujah, because she's "learned to stick with her own kind".
** And by that we mean [[Jack Sebastien|"angry pariahs"]].
*** If true, it would be her longest running relationship to date, an intriguing bit of trivia to say the least.
****Publicly confirmed at the Grand Gathering in the Bay Area in May, to a distinct lack of surprise.
*****Which made her kind of sad.

* After her attack on [[Kate Davidson]] at Midwinter 2012, some heard her snarl wordlessly, others could have sworn she hissed "stay away from him". No one is certain what prompted this...or who the "him" she was referencing could be. If she even said that at all.

* After speaking to him privately at Midwinter 2012, [[Elias Beecher]], previously thought dead in the battle the prior evening, was seen to have been talking to her very seriously, before concluding the conversation by standing on his tiptoes and kissing her on the cheek.

* Something in the past few months has taken her attention so much she's canceled Court repeatedly.

* Started a charity in Indonesia where poor orphan children learn valuable job skills making knock-off Christian Louboutins

* More than a few Brujah women have taken to wearing anklebreaker heels as a point of fashion when visiting her Court. She approves of this and often praises their taste in shoes.

* Was 'motorboated' by [[Mallory Jones]] at the Grand Gathering in Berkeley in May, because she "just couldn't help it, I mean, look at those things!"

* Was named as one half of the Brujah Power Couple of the Year along with [[Jack Sebastien|this guy]].
** Don't you mean 3/4's of the Brujah Power Couple of the Year? I might it's only [[Jack Sebastien|this guy]]

* Was one of the last people seen talking to [[Elias Beecher]] before he mysteriously disappeared at the Grand Elysium in Columbus, 2012. She looked deeply uncomfortable during the course of their brief conversation.

* Has admitted to "trading sexual favors for goods" in public.

=Character Information=

[[File:KatWiki.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Kat at Court, photo by Meredith Gerber]] She's been everywhere and nowhere. Always in the background, always the source of the cynicism, dry wit and scathing snark from the back of the room. When she'd gotten off the plane at O'Hare International Airport in September of 1997, she'd had a thick Russian accent, a moderate grasp of the English language, a pair of four-inch stiletto boots, a pack of cigarettes, a tattoo of six numbers on her left forearm, and jaded eyes. Only the accent and the linguistics have changed in the past thirteen years.

The woman is never seen in public without at least one man on her arm, whether it's a husband, a childer, a fellow clanmate, an Archon, a Prince...you name it. At large events and gatherings, she invariably has multiple dates...and an entourage to boot, mostly men of high standing and Camarilla position. She's left a string of dead husbands in her wake, none, she will assure you kindly, deceased by her own hand. Some of the Brujah call her "Black Widow" behind her back. And to her face.

But she can charm them, somehow; she's always got a wink and a smile, a throaty laugh and a sly sidelong look for those she calls "her boys". If she ''really'' likes you, she'll shower you with little endearments: pumpkin, sugar, honey, sweetheart, darling. She's fiercely protective and unendingly loyal to those she calls family. G-d help you if you so much as look at her childer sideways, or lay hands upon those that she loves.

It seems like she knows nearly everyone, almost everywhere. She boldly calls several Archons by their first names rather than their titles, reminding some of them not-so-subtly that she remembers when they were just little stripling things, learning at her knee or fighting by her side. At the Springfield Conclave of 2001, she'd gotten more applause than some of the Justicars when she was introduced, irritating then-Justicar Malaphar of the Tremere considerably.

She's not much like the rest of the Rabble, at least, as far as outward appearances go. Sure, she's quick-tempered, but that's pretty much where the similarity ends. She doesn't go in for pack mentality, and has dug in her heels on a number of issues that have occasionally put her at odds with her own Clan. Especially after she took Praxis of Chicago from Petronius. Now her speech is more florid and formal, her dress conservative, her smile a bit more forced, her movements deliberate, her alliances careful.

The attempt on her life seems to have changed her some. The removal of her position as Prince by the Justicariate definitely has. Time will tell if the change is for the better, or worse.

==Known History==
Was an inmate of Auschwitz prior to Embrace. A resident of Chicago since 1997. Has outlived four Kindred husbands in fifteen years. Originally a resident and one of the longest-standing Primogen of Chicago, she relocated briefly before the Siege of Chicago and resided in Champaign around the turn of the milennium under Princes [[James Jones]] and [[Philip Walkin]]. Was Archon [[Jon Sebastian]]'s constant companion for several years, the two were rarely seen apart. Fought alongside former Justicar [[Masako]] during the Sabbat siege of Chicago in 2000 and returned permanently to reside in the city shortly thereafter. Took Praxis of Chicago from Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]] in December of 2009.

Attacked by two Sabbat assassins in front of the Drake Hotel on May 28, 2011 and presumed destroyed. Reemerged in Chicago and reclaimed her Praxis from [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]] almost exactly four months later on September 24, 2011.

After her reemergence in Kindred society, she was dogged by some highly disturbing rumors, most notably that she was an infernalist impostor. On November 26, 2011 she was publically cleared of all suspicion of infernalism by Archon [[Elias Beecher]] of Justicar [[Maris Streck]]'s office and Archon [[Terminus]] of Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]]'s office, as well as passing a private inquiry by Archon [[Saul Good]] of Justicar [[Cock Robin]]'s office, and a personal inquiry by Justicar [[Jaroslav Pascek]] himself.

To sum it up: totes not infernal, y'all.

At the Midwinter gathering of 2012, she noticeably went missing from the battle with Moloch, earning more than a little spite and derision from those Brujah who claimed that she willfully ignored a Call to Arms. Her explanation that she was "fighting on a different front" was met with confusion. She also garnered a fair amount of scandal by attacking Archon [[Kate Davidson]] in front of hundreds of people, actually ripping out a huge chunk of her hair and throwing it on the ground as the Archon was walking [[Paul Walker]] into a private room for interrogation. It was later discovered to be a hairpiece.

Judicially conclaved at Midwinter 2013 and removed from her position as Prince of Chicago on January 18, 2013. She was also stripped of one of her Feared names. Details of this Conclave released recently are nebulous about what, if any, crimes she was found guilty of, but the oddly worded decision was released all the same. She was seen briefly the evening after this conclave wearing [[Jack Sebastien]]'s clothes and looking pissed. She disappeared after the gathering...only to reappear in Chicago a month later, where she walked in escorted by new Prince Francis Merivein, and was immediately appointed Primogen.

==Coterie==
"Oh darling, affiliation with coteries are so ''dangerous'' these days. I try to avoid them, and if you're smart, you will too."

==Allies==
Archon [[Jon Sebastian]], (former) Archon [[Jack Sebastien]] (no relation) (deceased), Archon [[Leonius Agrippa]] (deceased), Archon [[Victoria Hunter]], Archon [[Zio!]] (deceased), [[Hazzan Marwan]], [[Johnathan Gwynn]], Prince [[Zphonco Davinovich]], [[Khloe Hale]], and [[Isabella Rodriguez]], to name a scant handful. She may or may not have been involved politically or romantically with [[Sheldon Goldstein]], briefly, depending on who you talk to. Surprisingly, she even claims a longtime Tremere ally, [[Philip Walkin]], who has recently resurfaced in the Springfield area. She claims he is the only Tremere she has ever liked, and indeed, they have often been spotted together in public in recent months.

She is exceptionally fond of the Children of Haquim in general and very friendly with almost all members of that family locally, as well as a good handful nationally as well. She is often seen with at least one at her side.

"I have no friends. All my friends are dead."

==Enemies==

The Tremere, in general, seem to really, really dislike her.

Refers to [[Paul Walker]] as her "nemesis", though rumor has it that they've recently decided to hate other people.

Ex-husband [[Emery Llyandryn]] has threatened her publicly, at her own Court.

[http://anarch.owbn.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Donovan_Creave Donovan Creave] has threatened her repeatedly both in public and in private.

The assassins who attacked her in the Spring of 2011 are now dead...those who engineered it still live.

After ripping out [[Kate Davidson]]'s weave very publicly at the Midwinter gathering in January 2012, it is likely she has not earned the Archon's friendship.

[[Albert Iverson]] can't seem to stop talking shit about her to anyone with a pair of ears.

==Sire==
Unknown. Was a drive-by embrace.

==Childer==
"Biological": [[Silas Christian]], [[Oliver Freigh]], [[Mila Nothing-Llyandryn]]

Considered [[Spectre Llyandryn]] her son, and no one really attempted to dissuade her of that notion. He was disowned after joining the Sabbat.

==Broodmates==
Unknown.

==Character Inspirations==
Physically, a young Shirley Manson. In concept, I owe a lot to Edith Hahn Beer and Art Spiegelman. And Marvel's Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow.

Originally a resident and one of the longest-standing Primogen of Chicago, she relocated briefly before the Siege of Chicago and resided in Champaign around the turn of the milennium under Princes [[James Jones]] and [[Philip Walkin]]. Was Archon [[Jon Sebastian]]'s constant companion for several years, the two were rarely seen apart. Fought alongside former Justicar [[Masako]] during the Sabbat siege of Chicago in 2000 and returned permanently to reside in the city shortly thereafter. Took Praxis of Chicago from Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]] in December of 2009.

Attacked by two Sabbat assassins in front of the Drake Hotel on May 28, 2011 and presumed destroyed. Reemerged in Chicago and reclaimed her Praxis from [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]] almost exactly four months later on September 24, 2011.

After her reemergence in Kindred society, she was dogged by some highly disturbing rumors, most notably that she was an infernalist impostor. On November 26, 2011 she was publically cleared of all suspicion of infernalism by Archon [[Elias Beecher]] of Justicar [[Maris Streck]]'s office and Archon [[Terminus]] of Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]]'s office, as well as passing a private inquiry by Archon [[Saul Good]] of Justicar [[Cock Robin]]'s office, and a personal inquiry by Justicar [[Jaroslav Pascek]] himself.

To sum it up: totes not infernal, y'all.

At the Midwinter gathering of 2012, she noticeably went missing from the battle with Moloch, earning more than a little spite and derision from those Brujah who claimed that she willfully ignored a Call to Arms. Her explanation that she was "fighting on a different front" was met with confusion. She also garnered a fair amount of scandal by attacking Archon [[Kate Davidson]] in front of hundreds of people, actually ripping out a huge chunk of her hair and throwing it on the ground as the Archon was walking [[Paul Walker]] into a private room for interrogation. It was later discovered to be a hairpiece.

Judicially conclaved at Midwinter 2013 and removed from her position as Prince of Chicago on January 18, 2013. She was also stripped of one of her Feared names. Details of this Conclave released recently are nebulous about what, if any, crimes she was found guilty of, but the oddly worded decision was released all the same. She was seen briefly the evening after this conclave wearing [[Jack Sebastien]]'s clothes and looking pissed. She disappeared after the gathering...only to reappear in Chicago a month later, where she walked in escorted by new Prince Francis Merivein, and was immediately appointed Primogen.

==Coterie==
"Oh darling, affiliation with coteries are so ''dangerous'' these days. I try to avoid them, and if you're smart, you will too."

==Allies==
Archon [[Jon Sebastian]], (former) Archon [[Jack Sebastien]] (no relation), Archon [[Leonius Agrippa]] (deceased), Archon [[Victoria Hunter]], Archon [[Zio!]] (deceased), [[Hazzan Marwan]], [[Johnathan Gwynn]], Prince [[Zphonco Davinovich]], [[Khloe Hale]], and [[Isabella Rodriguez]], to name a scant handful. She may or may not have been involved politically or romantically with [[Sheldon Goldstein]], briefly, depending on who you talk to. Surprisingly, she even claims a longtime Tremere ally, [[Philip Walkin]], who has recently resurfaced in the Springfield area. She claims he is the only Tremere she has ever liked, and indeed, they have often been spotted together in public in recent months.

She is exceptionally fond of the Children of Haquim in general and very friendly with almost all members of that family locally, as well as a good handful nationally as well. She is often seen with at least one at her side.

==Enemies==

The Tremere, in general, seem to really, really dislike her.

Refers to [[Paul Walker]] as her "nemesis", though rumor has it that they've recently decided to hate other people.

Ex-husband [[Emery Llyandryn]] has threatened her publicly, at her own Court.

[http://anarch.owbn.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Donovan_Creave Donovan Creave] has threatened her repeatedly both in public and in private.

The assassins who attacked her in the Spring of 2011 are now dead...those who engineered it still live.

After ripping out [[Kate Davidson]]'s weave very publicly at the Midwinter gathering in January 2012, it is likely she has not earned the Archon's friendship.

[[Albert Iverson]] can't seem to stop talking shit about her to anyone with a pair of ears.

==Sire==
Unknown. Was a drive-by embrace.

==Childer==
"Biological": [[Silas Christian]], [[Oliver Freigh]], [[Mila Nothing-Llyandryn]]

Considered [[Spectre Llyandryn]] her son, and no one really attempted to dissuade her of that notion. He was disowned after joining the Sabbat.

==Broodmates==
Unknown.

==Character Inspirations==
Physically, a young Shirley Manson. In concept, I owe a lot to Edith Hahn Beer and Art Spiegelman. And Marvel's Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow.

==Rumors==
* All her dates to Midwinter have ended up as Archons within a year.

* Was affiliated with the Setites for some time in the late nineties. She got over it.

* It is speculated that some if not all of the individuals she claims are her "children" are not, in fact, her own.

* Some think she may have been a Hunter childe rather than a real Brujah.

* All of her children are instructed to address [[Victoria Hunter]] as "Auntie".

* Some of her childer refer to [[Johnathan Gwynn]] as "Uncle Johnny".

* Malaphar wanted her destroyed at the 2001 Conclave for recieving more applause during presentations as her Clan representative than he did as a Justicar. Thus began her trouble with the Tremere.

* Supposedly hates women, and only tolerates them publically because she has to.

* One more than one occasion has tried to play matchmaker for [[Victoria Hunter]]. Katja just wants to see her settled down and happy.

* Texts more than a fourteen-year old girl. Her phone rarely leaves her hand.

* The murder attempt on Katja's life in 2011 may have been perpetrated by the Sabbat, but it was engineered and aided by the Tremere.

* [[Paul Walker]] is the de facto leader of her League of Evil Exes.
** With his death, the League is now in chaos.

* Took home three of the Championship belts from [[The Belt Game]] at Midwinter 2011.
** Was assisted by Archon [[Francis Merivein]] in the acquiring of said belts.

* Was propositioned by Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]] after seizing Praxis of Chicago from him. She declined his advances.

* Is infernal and an impostor claiming to be her.
** Is infernal and part of a Lilith cult.

* Is not infernal, and just has the luck of the Devil instead.
**It's because she's a devout Jew and is one of the "chosen people".

* Has a bit of a shoe fetish.

* Has a secret lover.

* The lover is a Tremere, which is why the Clan wants to kill her so badly.
** Has been seen being ''very'' close to [[Philip Walkin]] since his reemergence in Kindred society.
*** Then, of course, there's [[Jon-Apolo de Soult|this guy]].
**** That guy is a dead man if someone finds out.

* The lover is a Brujah, because she's "learned to stick with her own kind".
** And by that we mean [[Jack Sebastien|"angry pariahs"]].
*** If true, it would be her longest running relationship to date, an intriguing bit of trivia to say the least.
****Publicly confirmed at the Grand Gathering in the Bay Area in May, to a distinct lack of surprise.
*****Which made her kind of sad.

* The lover is an Archon of questionable reputation.
** Or at least, he used to be. An archon, that is. He still has a questionable rep.
*** Now an Archon again. She warned him what would happen if she took him to Midwinter.

* All of the above speculations are correct and she's two-timing them both.

* Has refused Archonship positions three times, with two different Justicars.

* Every last pair of her impossibly high heels have been refitted with wood, a trick she taught to [[Victoria Hunter]].

* Justicar [[Lotharius]] and his agents have taken a very personal interest in her, bordering on obsession.
** Interestingly, he was very noticeably absent from her Judicial Conclave...

* After her attack on [[Kate Davidson]] at Midwinter 2012, some heard her snarl wordlessly, others could have sworn she hissed "stay away from him". No one is certain what prompted this...or who the "him" she was referencing could be. If she even said that at all.

* After speaking to him privately at Midwinter 2012, [[Elias Beecher]], previously thought dead in the battle the prior evening, was seen to have been talking to her very seriously, before concluding the conversation by standing on his tiptoes and kissing her on the cheek.

* For someone who supposedly hates women, she sure does seem to enjoy the company of [[Isabella Visconti]]. Maybe a little too much.

* Something in the past few months has taken her attention so much she's canceled Court repeatedly.

* Started a charity in Indonesia where poor orphan children learn valuable job skills making knock-off Christian Louboutins

* More than a few Brujah women have taken to wearing anklebreaker heels as a point of fashion when visiting her Court. She approves of this and often praises their taste in shoes.

* Was 'motorboated' by [[Mallory Jones]] at the Grand Gathering in Berkeley in May, because she "just couldn't help it, I mean, look at those things!"

* Was named as one half of the Brujah Power Couple of the Year along with [[Jack Sebastien|this guy]].
** Don't you mean 3/4's of the Brujah Power Couple of the Year? I might it's only [[Jack Sebastien|this guy]]

* Was one of the last people seen talking to [[Elias Beecher]] before he mysteriously disappeared at the Grand Elysium in Columbus, 2012. She looked deeply uncomfortable during the course of their brief conversation.
* Keeps a Tremere in her Domain that looks oddly similar to [[Philip Walkin]]

* Has admitted to "trading sexual favors for goods" in public.

* In the announcement of the results of her Judicial Conclave, she was the only one whose charges were not publicly elaborated upon.
** Some say this is because a certain bargain was made...
*** Others think there's an even deeper, darker reason than that.

* She's single again.

=Character Information=

[[File:KatWiki.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Kat at Court, photo by Meredith Gerber]] She's been everywhere and nowhere. Always in the background, always the source of the cynicism, dry wit and scathing snark from the back of the room. When she'd gotten off the plane at O'Hare International Airport in September of 1997, she'd had a thick Russian accent, a moderate grasp of the English language, a pair of four-inch stiletto boots, a pack of cigarettes, a tattoo of six numbers on her left forearm, and jaded eyes. Only the accent and the linguistics have changed in the past thirteen years.

The woman is never seen in public without at least one man on her arm, whether it's a husband, a childer, a fellow clanmate, an Archon, a Prince...you name it. At large events and gatherings, she invariably has multiple dates...and an entourage to boot, mostly men of high standing and Camarilla position. She's left a string of dead husbands in her wake, none, she will assure you kindly, deceased by her own hand. Some of the Brujah call her "Black Widow" behind her back. And to her face.

But she can charm them, somehow; she's always got a wink and a smile, a throaty laugh and a sly sidelong look for those she calls "her boys". If she ''really'' likes you, she'll shower you with little endearments: pumpkin, sugar, honey, sweetheart, darling. She's fiercely protective and unendingly loyal to those she calls family. G-d help you if you so much as look at her childer sideways, or lay hands upon those that she loves.

It seems like she knows nearly everyone, almost everywhere. She boldly calls several Archons by their first names rather than their titles, reminding some of them not-so-subtly that she remembers when they were just little stripling things, learning at her knee or fighting by her side. At the Springfield Conclave of 2001, she'd gotten more applause than some of the Justicars when she was introduced, irritating then-Justicar Malaphar of the Tremere considerably.

She's not much like the rest of the Rabble, at least, as far as outward appearances go. Sure, she's quick-tempered, but that's pretty much where the similarity ends. She doesn't go in for pack mentality, and has dug in her heels on a number of issues that have occasionally put her at odds with her own Clan. Especially after she took Praxis of Chicago from Petronius. Now her speech is more florid and formal, her dress conservative, her smile a bit more forced, her movements deliberate, her alliances careful.

The attempt on her life seems to have changed her some. The removal of her position as Prince by the Justicariate definitely has. Time will tell if the change is for the better, or worse.

On this champagne, drunken hope,
Against the current, all alone,
Everybody, see, I love him.

‘Cause it’s a feeling that you get,
When the afternoon is set,
On a bridge into the city.

And I don’t wanna see what I’ve seen,
To undo what has been done.
Turn off all the lights,
Let the morning come.

Now there’s green light in my eyes,
And my lover on my mind.
And I’ll sing from the piano, tear my yellow dress and,
Cry and cry and cry.

‘Cause you’re a hard soul to save,
With an ocean in the way,
But I’ll get around it,
I’ll get around it.

** With his death, the League is now in chaos.

* Took home three of the Championship belts from [[The Belt Game]] at Midwinter 2011.
** Was assisted by Archon [[Francis Merivein]] in the acquiring of said belts.

* Was propositioned by Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]] after seizing Praxis of Chicago from him. She declined his advances.

* Is infernal and an impostor claiming to be her.
** Is infernal and part of a Lilith cult.

* Is not infernal, and just has the luck of the Devil instead.
**It's because she's a devout Jew and is one of the "chosen people".

* Has a bit of a shoe fetish.

* Has a secret lover.

* The lover is a Tremere, which is why the Clan wants to kill her so badly.
** Has been seen being ''very'' close to [[Philip Walkin]] since his reemergence in Kindred society.
*** Then, of course, there's [[Jon-Apolo de Soult|this guy]].
**** That guy is a dead man if someone finds out.

* The lover is a Brujah, because she's "learned to stick with her own kind".
** And by that we mean [[Jack Sebastien|"angry pariahs"]].
*** If true, it would be her longest running relationship to date, an intriguing bit of trivia to say the least.
****Publicly confirmed at the Grand Gathering in the Bay Area in May, to a distinct lack of surprise.
*****Which made her kind of sad.

* The lover is an Archon of questionable reputation.
** Or at least, he used to be. An archon, that is. He still has a questionable rep.
*** Now an Archon again. She warned him what would happen if she took him to Midwinter.

* All of the above speculations are correct and she's two-timing them both.

* Has refused Archonship positions three times, with two different Justicars.

* Every last pair of her impossibly high heels have been refitted with wood, a trick she taught to [[Victoria Hunter]].

* Justicar [[Lotharius]] and his agents have taken a very personal interest in her, bordering on obsession.
** Interestingly, he was very noticeably absent from her Judicial Conclave...

* After her attack on [[Kate Davidson]] at Midwinter 2012, some heard her snarl wordlessly, others could have sworn she hissed "stay away from him". No one is certain what prompted this...or who the "him" she was referencing could be. If she even said that at all.

* After speaking to him privately at Midwinter 2012, [[Elias Beecher]], previously thought dead in the battle the prior evening, was seen to have been talking to her very seriously, before concluding the conversation by standing on his tiptoes and kissing her on the cheek.

* For someone who supposedly hates women, she sure does seem to enjoy the company of [[Isabella Visconti]]. Maybe a little too much.

* Something in the past few months has taken her attention so much she's canceled Court repeatedly.

* Started a charity in Indonesia where poor orphan children learn valuable job skills making knock-off Christian Louboutins

* More than a few Brujah women have taken to wearing anklebreaker heels as a point of fashion when visiting her Court. She approves of this and often praises their taste in shoes.

* Was 'motorboated' by [[Mallory Jones]] at the Grand Gathering in Berkeley in May, because she "just couldn't help it, I mean, look at those things!"

* Was named as one half of the Brujah Power Couple of the Year along with [[Jack Sebastien|this guy]].
** Don't you mean 3/4's of the Brujah Power Couple of the Year? I might it's only [[Jack Sebastien|this guy]]

* Was one of the last people seen talking to [[Elias Beecher]] before he mysteriously disappeared at the Grand Elysium in Columbus, 2012. She looked deeply uncomfortable during the course of their brief conversation.
* Keeps a Tremere in her Domain that looks oddly similar to [[Philip Walkin]]

* Has admitted to "trading sexual favors for goods" in public.

* In the announcement of the results of her Judicial Conclave, she was the only one whose charges were not publicly elaborated upon.
** Some say this is because a certain bargain was made...
*** Others think there's an even deeper, darker reason than that.

* She's single again.

=Character Information=

[[File:KatWiki.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Kat at Court, photo by Meredith Gerber]] She's been everywhere and nowhere. Always in the background, always the source of the cynicism, dry wit and scathing snark from the back of the room. When she'd gotten off the plane at O'Hare International Airport in September of 1997, she'd had a thick Russian accent, a moderate grasp of the English language, a pair of four-inch stiletto boots, a pack of cigarettes, a tattoo of six numbers on her left forearm, and jaded eyes. Only the accent and the linguistics have changed in the past thirteen years.

The woman is never seen in public without at least one man on her arm, whether it's a husband, a childer, a fellow clanmate, an Archon, a Prince...you name it. At large events and gatherings, she invariably has multiple dates...and an entourage to boot, mostly men of high standing and Camarilla position. She's left a string of dead husbands in her wake, none, she will assure you kindly, deceased by her own hand. Some of the Brujah call her "Black Widow" behind her back. And to her face.

But she can charm them, somehow; she's always got a wink and a smile, a throaty laugh and a sly sidelong look for those she calls "her boys". If she ''really'' likes you, she'll shower you with little endearments: pumpkin, sugar, honey, sweetheart, darling. She's fiercely protective and unendingly loyal to those she calls family. G-d help you if you so much as look at her childer sideways, or lay hands upon those that she loves.

It seems like she knows nearly everyone, almost everywhere. She boldly calls several Archons by their first names rather than their titles, reminding some of them not-so-subtly that she remembers when they were just little stripling things, learning at her knee or fighting by her side. At the Springfield Conclave of 2001, she'd gotten more applause than some of the Justicars when she was introduced, irritating then-Justicar Malaphar of the Tremere considerably.

She's not much like the rest of the Rabble, at least, as far as outward appearances go. Sure, she's quick-tempered, but that's pretty much where the similarity ends. She doesn't go in for pack mentality, and has dug in her heels on a number of issues that have occasionally put her at odds with her own Clan. Especially after she took Praxis of Chicago from Petronius. Now her speech is more florid and formal, her dress conservative, her smile a bit more forced, her movements deliberate, her alliances careful.

The attempt on her life seems to have changed her some. The removal of her position as Prince by the Justicariate definitely has. Time will tell if the change is for the better, or worse.

==Known History==
Was an inmate of Auschwitz prior to Embrace. A resident of Chicago since 1997. Has outlived four Kindred husbands in fifteen years. Originally a resident and one of the longest-standing Primogen of Chicago, she relocated briefly before the Siege of Chicago and resided in Champaign around the turn of the milennium under Princes [[James Jones]] and [[Philip Walkin]]. Was Archon [[Jon Sebastian]]'s constant companion for several years, the two were rarely seen apart. Fought alongside former Justicar [[Masako]] during the Sabbat siege of Chicago in 2000 and returned permanently to reside in the city shortly thereafter. Took Praxis of Chicago from Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]] in December of 2009.

Attacked by two Sabbat assassins in front of the Drake Hotel on May 28, 2011 and presumed destroyed. Reemerged in Chicago and reclaimed her Praxis from [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]] almost exactly four months later on September 24, 2011.

After her reemergence in Kindred society, she was dogged by some highly disturbing rumors, most notably that she was an infernalist impostor. On November 26, 2011 she was publically cleared of all suspicion of infernalism by Archon [[Elias Beecher]] of Justicar [[Maris Streck]]'s office and Archon [[Terminus]] of Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]]'s office, as well as passing a private inquiry by Archon [[Saul Good]] of Justicar [[Cock Robin]]'s office, and a personal inquiry by Justicar [[Jaroslav Pascek]] himself.

To sum it up: totes not infernal, y'all.

At the Midwinter gathering of 2012, she noticeably went missing from the battle with Moloch, earning more than a little spite and derision from those Brujah who claimed that she willfully ignored a Call to Arms. Her explanation that she was "fighting on a different front" was met with confusion. She also garnered a fair amount of scandal by attacking Archon [[Kate Davidson]] in front of hundreds of people, actually ripping out a huge chunk of her hair and throwing it on the ground as the Archon was walking [[Paul Walker]] into a private room for interrogation. It was later discovered to be a hairpiece.

Judicially conclaved at Midwinter 2013 and removed from her position as Prince of Chicago on January 18, 2013. She was also stripped of one of her Feared names. Details of this Conclave released recently are nebulous about what, if any, crimes she was found guilty of, but the oddly worded decision was released all the same. She was seen briefly the evening after this conclave wearing [[Jack Sebastien]]'s clothes and looking pissed. She disappeared after the gathering...only to reappear in Chicago a month later, where she walked in escorted by new Prince Francis Merivein, and was immediately appointed Primogen.

==Coterie==
"Oh darling, affiliation with coteries are so ''dangerous'' these days. I try to avoid them, and if you're smart, you will too."

==Allies==
Archon [[Jon Sebastian]], (former) Archon [[Jack Sebastien]] (no relation), Archon [[Leonius Agrippa]] (deceased), Archon [[Victoria Hunter]], Archon [[Zio!]] (deceased), [[Hazzan Marwan]], [[Johnathan Gwynn]], Prince [[Zphonco Davinovich]], [[Khloe Hale]], and [[Isabella Rodriguez]], to name a scant handful. She may or may not have been involved politically or romantically with [[Sheldon Goldstein]], briefly, depending on who you talk to. Surprisingly, she even claims a longtime Tremere ally, [[Philip Walkin]], who has recently resurfaced in the Springfield area. She claims he is the only Tremere she has ever liked, and indeed, they have often been spotted together in public in recent months.

She is exceptionally fond of the Children of Haquim in general and very friendly with almost all members of that family locally, as well as a good handful nationally as well. She is often seen with at least one at her side.

==Enemies==

The Tremere, in general, seem to really, really dislike her.

Refers to [[Paul Walker]] as her "nemesis", though rumor has it that they've recently decided to hate other people.

Ex-husband [[Emery Llyandryn]] has threatened her publicly, at her own Court.

[http://anarch.owbn.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Donovan_Creave Donovan Creave] has threatened her repeatedly both in public and in private.

The assassins who attacked her in the Spring of 2011 are now dead...those who engineered it still live.

After ripping out [[Kate Davidson]]'s weave very publicly at the Midwinter gathering in January 2012, it is likely she has not earned the Archon's friendship.

[[Albert Iverson]] can't seem to stop talking shit about her to anyone with a pair of ears.

==Sire==
Unknown. Was a drive-by embrace.

==Childer==
"Biological": [[Silas Christian]], [[Oliver Freigh]], [[Mila Nothing-Llyandryn]]

Considered [[Spectre Llyandryn]] her son, and no one really attempted to dissuade her of that notion. He was disowned after joining the Sabbat.

==Broodmates==
Unknown.

==Character Inspirations==
Physically, a young Shirley Manson. In concept, I owe a lot to Edith Hahn Beer and Art Spiegelman. And Marvel's Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow.

==Quotes==
"Men."

"She makes an excellent projectile." ~[[Jon Sebastian]]

"[[Katja Nothing]] is my kinda lady. Headstrong, intelligent, ambitious. It's too bad the Children of Haquim are dragging her down." -[[Johnathan Gwynn]]

"You're certainly not the ''typical'' Brujah." - [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]]

"I want to be you when I grow up." - [[Lena!]]

[[Paul Walker]]: "Emery, I'm sorry things didn't work out between you and Katja. I'm planning a golf outing next week for the rest of Katja's exes. You should come along." 
[[Emery Llyandryn]]: "What? You guys have a club? Like the 7 Evil Exes from Scott Pilgrim?" 
[[Paul Walker]]: "Oh, there's a ''lot'' more than 7 of us, Emery." 

"I say the following with all appropriate respect to your station and accomplishments, but while you would be my very first choice if I were shopping for a pair of Manolo Blahniks, I don't think you would know what a demon looks like, let alone are infernal." - Archon [[Elias Beecher]]

Sabbat member: "You're the Prince of Chicago, huh? We're coming for you, girl." 
Katja: (rolls eyes) "I call that Tuesday. ''You're'' coming for me, ''they're'' coming for me, the ''Tremere'' are coming for me...when is someone ''not'' coming for me? You're going to have to try harder than that to frighten me."

"I heard your ex-husband was going to be coming to court tonight." (beat) "Oh. I should probably narrow it down and tell you which one." - [[Christopher Matthews]]

Katja, to unknown: "A whole ''flock'' of birdies have been singing to me about what you've been up to lately. A friend of mine likes to say that we're never as clever as we think we are - and you, ''darling'', are ''so'' not clever."

[[Lan Blackwood]]:"No more marriages? Don't you miss the honeymoons?" 
Katja: "Darling, you don't even know. It's ''all'' honeymoon for me, now."

Katja, to an assemblage of Princes: "Children of Haqim are always, without hesitation, welcome in my city and at my Courts, and I have told them as much and asked them to tell their brothers of it as well. Despite the injuries I have suffered in recent nights, my offer to their family still stands and will remain standing as long as I am Prince of Chicago. If you don't want them in your City or on your Court, that's your business. I will gladly recieve your refugees with open arms in my own Domain."

"Archon [[Jon-Apolo de Soult|de Soult]], I have warned you multiple times: This is an Elysium, not a gun show." - Katja, on a certain archon's physique.

Katja, on recent events out East: "You think they screwed the pooch on this one? Total understatement. Not only did they screw the pooch, they videotaped it, and posted it on YouTube with 'Yakity Sax' playing in the background."

"I'm alive, I'm here. But they took it from me. ''He'' took it from me. I'm you now, [[Jack Sebastien|Jack]]."

"If you really loved him, you'd have gone with him, Anya."

"You wasted our time. We will require more from you." - [[Titus Petronius Niger]]

[http://anarch.owbn.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Donovan_Creave Donovan Creave] has threatened her repeatedly both in public and in private.

The assassins who attacked her in the Spring of 2011 are now dead...those who engineered it still live.

After ripping out [[Kate Davidson]]'s weave very publicly at the Midwinter gathering in January 2012, it is likely she has not earned the Archon's friendship.

[[Albert Iverson]] can't seem to stop talking shit about her to anyone with a pair of ears.

Unknown. Was a drive-by embrace.

==Childer==
"Biological": [[Silas Christian]], [[Oliver Freigh]], [[Mila Nothing-Llyandryn]]

Considered [[Spectre Llyandryn]] her son, and no one really attempted to dissuade her of that notion. He was disowned after joining the Sabbat.

==Broodmates==
Unknown.

==Character Inspirations==
Physically, a young Shirley Manson. In concept, I owe a lot to Edith Hahn Beer and Art Spiegelman. And Marvel's Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow.

"You're certainly not the ''typical'' Brujah." - [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]]

"I want to be you when I grow up." - [[Lena!]]

[[Paul Walker]]: "Emery, I'm sorry things didn't work out between you and Katja. I'm planning a golf outing next week for the rest of Katja's exes. You should come along." 
[[Emery Llyandryn]]: "What? You guys have a club? Like the 7 Evil Exes from Scott Pilgrim?" 
[[Paul Walker]]: "Oh, there's a ''lot'' more than 7 of us, Emery." 

"I say the following with all appropriate respect to your station and accomplishments, but while you would be my very first choice if I were shopping for a pair of Manolo Blahniks, I don't think you would know what a demon looks like, let alone are infernal." - Archon [[Elias Beecher]]

Sabbat member: "You're the Prince of Chicago, huh? We're coming for you, girl." 
Katja: (rolls eyes) "I call that Tuesday. ''You're'' coming for me, ''they're'' coming for me, the ''Tremere'' are coming for me...when is someone ''not'' coming for me? You're going to have to try harder than that to frighten me."

"I heard your ex-husband was going to be coming to court tonight." (beat) "Oh. I should probably narrow it down and tell you which one." - [[Christopher Matthews]]

Katja, to unknown: "A whole ''flock'' of birdies have been singing to me about what you've been up to lately. A friend of mine likes to say that we're never as clever as we think we are - and you, ''darling'', are ''so'' not clever."

[[Lan Blackwood]]:"No more marriages? Don't you miss the honeymoons?" 
Katja: "Darling, you don't even know. It's ''all'' honeymoon for me, now."

Despite the injuries I have suffered in recent nights, my offer to their family still stands and will remain standing as long as I am Prince of Chicago. If you don't want them in your City or on your Court, that's your business. I will gladly recieve your refugees with open arms in my own Domain."

"Archon [[Jon-Apolo de Soult|de Soult]], I have warned you multiple times: This is an Elysium, not a gun show." - Katja, on a certain archon's physique.

Katja, on recent events out East: "You think they screwed the pooch on this one? Total understatement. Not only did they screw the pooch, they videotaped it, and posted it on YouTube with 'Yakity Sax' playing in the background."

"I'm alive, I'm here. But they took it from me. ''He'' took it from me. I'm you now, [[Jack Sebastien|Jack]]."

"If you really loved him, you'd have gone with him, Anya."

"You wasted our time. We will require more from you." - [[Titus Petronius Niger]]

* The murder attempt on Katja's life in 2011 may have been perpetrated by the Sabbat, but it was engineered and aided by the Tremere.

* Has a secret lover.

* The lover is a Tremere, which is why the Clan wants to kill her so badly.
** Has been seen being ''very'' close to [[Philip Walkin]] since his reemergence in Kindred society.

**** That guy is a dead man if someone finds out.

* The lover is a Brujah, because she's "learned to stick with her own kind".
** And by that we mean [[Jack Sebastien|"angry pariahs"]].
*** If true, it would be her longest running relationship to date, an intriguing bit of trivia to say the least.
****Publicly confirmed at the Grand Gathering in the Bay Area in May, to a distinct lack of surprise.

* After her attack on [[Kate Davidson]] at Midwinter 2012, some heard her snarl wordlessly, others could have sworn she hissed "stay away from him". No one is certain what prompted this...or who the "him" she was referencing could be. If she even said that at all.

* After speaking to him privately at Midwinter 2012, [[Elias Beecher]], previously thought dead in the battle the prior evening, was seen to have been talking to her very seriously, before concluding the conversation by standing on his tiptoes and kissing her on the cheek.

* Something in the past few months has taken her attention so much she's canceled Court repeatedly.

* Started a charity in Indonesia where poor orphan children learn valuable job skills making knock-off Christian Louboutins

* More than a few Brujah women have taken to wearing anklebreaker heels as a point of fashion when visiting her Court. She approves of this and often praises their taste in shoes.

* Was 'motorboated' by [[Mallory Jones]] at the Grand Gathering in Berkeley in May, because she "just couldn't help it, I mean, look at those things!"

* Was named as one half of the Brujah Power Couple of the Year along with [[Jack Sebastien|this guy]].
** Don't you mean 3/4's of the Brujah Power Couple of the Year? I might it's only [[Jack Sebastien|this guy]]

=Character Information=

[[File:KatWiki.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Kat at Court, photo by Meredith Gerber]] She's been everywhere and nowhere. Always in the background, always the source of the cynicism, dry wit and scathing snark from the back of the room. When she'd gotten off the plane at O'Hare International Airport in September of 1997, she'd had a thick Russian accent, a moderate grasp of the English language, a pair of four-inch stiletto boots, a pack of cigarettes, a tattoo of six numbers on her left forearm, and jaded eyes. Only the accent and the linguistics have changed in the past thirteen years.

The woman is never seen in public without at least one man on her arm, whether it's a husband, a childer, a fellow clanmate, an Archon, a Prince...you name it. At large events and gatherings, she invariably has multiple dates...and an entourage to boot, mostly men of high standing and Camarilla position. She's left a string of dead husbands in her wake, none, she will assure you kindly, deceased by her own hand. Some of the Brujah call her "Black Widow" behind her back. And to her face.

But she can charm them, somehow; she's always got a wink and a smile, a throaty laugh and a sly sidelong look for those she calls "her boys". If she ''really'' likes you, she'll shower you with little endearments: pumpkin, sugar, honey, sweetheart, darling. She's fiercely protective and unendingly loyal to those she calls family. G-d help you if you so much as look at her childer sideways, or lay hands upon those that she loves.

It seems like she knows nearly everyone, almost everywhere. She boldly calls several Archons by their first names rather than their titles, reminding some of them not-so-subtly that she remembers when they were just little stripling things, learning at her knee or fighting by her side. At the Springfield Conclave of 2001, she'd gotten more applause than some of the Justicars when she was introduced, irritating then-Justicar Malaphar of the Tremere considerably.

She's not much like the rest of the Rabble, at least, as far as outward appearances go. Sure, she's quick-tempered, but that's pretty much where the similarity ends. She doesn't go in for pack mentality, and has dug in her heels on a number of issues that have occasionally put her at odds with her own Clan. Especially after she took Praxis of Chicago from Petronius. Now her speech is more florid and formal, her dress conservative, her smile a bit more forced, her movements deliberate, her alliances careful.

The attempt on her life seems to have changed her some. The removal of her position as Prince by the Justicariate definitely has. Time will tell if the change is for the better, or worse.

==Known History==
Was an inmate of Auschwitz prior to Embrace. A resident of Chicago since 1997. Has outlived four Kindred husbands in fifteen years. Originally a resident and one of the longest-standing Primogen of Chicago, she relocated briefly before the Siege of Chicago and resided in Champaign around the turn of the milennium under Princes [[James Jones]] and [[Philip Walkin]]. Was Archon [[Jon Sebastian]]'s constant companion for several years, the two were rarely seen apart. Fought alongside former Justicar [[Masako]] during the Sabbat siege of Chicago in 2000 and returned permanently to reside in the city shortly thereafter. Took Praxis of Chicago from Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]] in December of 2009.

Attacked by two Sabbat assassins in front of the Drake Hotel on May 28, 2011 and presumed destroyed. Reemerged in Chicago and reclaimed her Praxis from [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]] almost exactly four months later on September 24, 2011.

After her reemergence in Kindred society, she was dogged by some highly disturbing rumors, most notably that she was an infernalist impostor. On November 26, 2011 she was publically cleared of all suspicion of infernalism by Archon [[Elias Beecher]] of Justicar [[Maris Streck]]'s office and Archon [[Terminus]] of Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]]'s office, as well as passing a private inquiry by Archon [[Saul Good]] of Justicar [[Cock Robin]]'s office, and a personal inquiry by Justicar [[Jaroslav Pascek]] himself.

To sum it up: totes not infernal, y'all.

At the Midwinter gathering of 2012, she noticeably went missing from the battle with Moloch, earning more than a little spite and derision from those Brujah who claimed that she willfully ignored a Call to Arms. Her explanation that she was "fighting on a different front" was met with confusion. She also garnered a fair amount of scandal by attacking Archon [[Kate Davidson]] in front of hundreds of people, actually ripping out a huge chunk of her hair and throwing it on the ground as the Archon was walking [[Paul Walker]] into a private room for interrogation. It was later discovered to be a hairpiece.

Judicially conclaved at Midwinter 2013 and removed from her position as Prince of Chicago on January 18, 2013. She was also stripped of one of her Feared names. Details of this Conclave released recently are nebulous about what, if any, crimes she was found guilty of, but the oddly worded decision was released all the same. She was seen briefly the evening after this conclave wearing [[Jack Sebastien]]'s clothes and looking pissed. She disappeared after the gathering.

==Coterie==
"Oh darling, affiliation with coteries are so ''dangerous'' these days. I try to avoid them, and if you're smart, you will too."

==Allies==
Archon [[Jon Sebastian]], (former) Archon [[Jack Sebastien]] (no relation), Archon [[Leonius Agrippa]] (deceased), Archon [[Victoria Hunter]], Archon [[Zio!]] (deceased), [[Hazzan Marwan]], [[Johnathan Gwynn]], Prince [[Zphonco Davinovich]], [[Khloe Hale]], and [[Isabella Rodriguez]], to name a scant handful. She may or may not have been involved politically or romantically with [[Sheldon Goldstein]], briefly, depending on who you talk to. Surprisingly, she even claims a longtime Tremere ally, [[Philip Walkin]], who has recently resurfaced in the Springfield area. She claims he is the only Tremere she has ever liked, and indeed, they have often been spotted together in public in recent months.

She is exceptionally fond of the Children of Haquim in general and very friendly with almost all members of that family locally, as well as a good handful nationally as well. She is often seen with at least one at her side.

==Enemies==

The Tremere, in general, seem to really, really dislike her.

Refers to [[Paul Walker]] as her "nemesis", though rumor has it that they've recently decided to hate other people.

Ex-husband [[Emery Llyandryn]] has threatened her publicly, at her own Court.

[http://anarch.owbn.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Donovan_Creave Donovan Creave] has threatened her repeatedly both in public and in private.

The assassins who attacked her in the Spring of 2011 are now dead...those who engineered it still live.

After ripping out [[Kate Davidson]]'s weave very publicly at the Midwinter gathering in January 2012, it is likely she has not earned the Archon's friendship.

=Character Information=

[[File:KatWiki.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Kat at Court, photo by Meredith Gerber]] She's been everywhere and nowhere. Always in the background, always the source of the cynicism, dry wit and scathing snark from the back of the room. When she'd gotten off the plane at O'Hare International Airport in September of 1997, she'd had a thick Russian accent, a moderate grasp of the English language, a pair of four-inch stiletto boots, a pack of cigarettes, a tattoo of six numbers on her left forearm, and jaded eyes. Only the accent and the linguistics have changed in the past thirteen years.

The woman is never seen in public without at least one man on her arm, whether it's a husband, a childer, a fellow clanmate, an Archon, a Prince...you name it. At large events and gatherings, she invariably has multiple dates...and an entourage to boot, mostly men of high standing and Camarilla position. She's left a string of dead husbands in her wake, none, she will assure you kindly, deceased by her own hand. Some of the Brujah call her "Black Widow" behind her back. And to her face.

But she can charm them, somehow; she's always got a wink and a smile, a throaty laugh and a sly sidelong look for those she calls "her boys". If she ''really'' likes you, she'll shower you with little endearments: pumpkin, sugar, honey, sweetheart, darling. She's fiercely protective and unendingly loyal to those she calls family. G-d help you if you so much as look at her childer sideways, or lay hands upon those that she loves.

It seems like she knows nearly everyone, almost everywhere. She boldly calls several Archons by their first names rather than their titles, reminding some of them not-so-subtly that she remembers when they were just little stripling things, learning at her knee or fighting by her side. At the Springfield Conclave of 2001, she'd gotten more applause than some of the Justicars when she was introduced, irritating then-Justicar Malaphar of the Tremere considerably.

She's not much like the rest of the Rabble, at least, as far as outward appearances go. Sure, she's quick-tempered, but that's pretty much where the similarity ends. She doesn't go in for pack mentality, and has dug in her heels on a number of issues that have occasionally put her at odds with her own Clan. Especially after she took Praxis of Chicago from Petronius. Now her speech is more florid and formal, her dress conservative, her smile a bit more forced, her movements deliberate, her alliances careful.

The attempt on her life seems to have changed her some. The removal of her position as Prince by the Justicariate definitely has. Time will tell if the change is for the better, or worse.

==Known History==
Was an inmate of Auschwitz prior to Embrace. A resident of Chicago since 1997. Has outlived four Kindred husbands in fifteen years. Originally a resident and one of the longest-standing Primogen of Chicago, she relocated briefly before the Siege of Chicago and resided in Champaign around the turn of the milennium under Princes [[James Jones]] and [[Philip Walkin]]. Was Archon [[Jon Sebastian]]'s constant companion for several years, the two were rarely seen apart. Fought alongside former Justicar [[Masako]] during the Sabbat siege of Chicago in 2000 and returned permanently to reside in the city shortly thereafter. Took Praxis of Chicago from Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]] in December of 2009.

Attacked by two Sabbat assassins in front of the Drake Hotel on May 28, 2011 and presumed destroyed. Reemerged in Chicago and reclaimed her Praxis from [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]] almost exactly four months later on September 24, 2011.

After her reemergence in Kindred society, she was dogged by some highly disturbing rumors, most notably that she was an infernalist impostor. On November 26, 2011 she was publically cleared of all suspicion of infernalism by Archon [[Elias Beecher]] of Justicar [[Maris Streck]]'s office and Archon [[Terminus]] of Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]]'s office, as well as passing a private inquiry by Archon [[Saul Good]] of Justicar [[Cock Robin]]'s office, and a personal inquiry by Justicar [[Jaroslav Pascek]] himself.

To sum it up: totes not infernal, y'all.

At the Midwinter gathering of 2012, she noticeably went missing from the battle with Moloch, earning more than a little spite and derision from those Brujah who claimed that she willfully ignored a Call to Arms. Her explanation that she was "fighting on a different front" was met with confusion. She also garnered a fair amount of scandal by attacking Archon [[Kate Davidson]] in front of hundreds of people, actually ripping out a huge chunk of her hair and throwing it on the ground as the Archon was walking [[Paul Walker]] into a private room for interrogation. It was later discovered to be a hairpiece.

Judicially conclaved at Midwinter 2013 and removed from her position as Prince of Chicago on January 18, 2013. She was also stripped of one of her Feared names. Details of this Conclave released recently are nebulous about what, if any, crimes she was found guilty of, but the oddly worded decision was released all the same. She was seen briefly the evening after this conclave wearing [[Jack Sebastien]]'s clothes and looking pissed. She disappeared after the gathering.

==Coterie==
"Oh darling, affiliation with coteries are so ''dangerous'' these days. I try to avoid them, and if you're smart, you will too."

==Allies==
Archon [[Jon Sebastian]], (former) Archon [[Jack Sebastien]] (no relation), Archon [[Leonius Agrippa]] (deceased), Archon [[Victoria Hunter]], Archon [[Zio!]] (deceased), [[Hazzan Marwan]], [[Johnathan Gwynn]], Prince [[Zphonco Davinovich]], [[Khloe Hale]], and [[Isabella Rodriguez]], to name a scant handful. She may or may not have been involved politically or romantically with [[Sheldon Goldstein]], briefly, depending on who you talk to. Surprisingly, she even claims a longtime Tremere ally, [[Philip Walkin]], who has recently resurfaced in the Springfield area. She claims he is the only Tremere she has ever liked, and indeed, they have often been spotted together in public in recent months.

She is exceptionally fond of the Children of Haquim in general and very friendly with almost all members of that family locally, as well as a good handful nationally as well. She is often seen with at least one at her side.

==Enemies==

The Tremere, in general, seem to really, really dislike her.

Refers to [[Paul Walker]] as her "nemesis", though rumor has it that they've recently decided to hate other people.

Ex-husband [[Emery Llyandryn]] has threatened her publicly, at her own Court.

[http://anarch.owbn.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Donovan_Creave Donovan Creave] has threatened her repeatedly both in public and in private.

The assassins who attacked her in the Spring of 2011 are now dead...those who engineered it still live.

After ripping out [[Kate Davidson]]'s weave very publicly at the Midwinter gathering in January 2012, it is likely she has not earned the Archon's friendship.

[[Albert Iverson]] can't seem to stop talking shit about her to anyone with a pair of ears.

==Sire==
Unknown. Was a drive-by embrace.

==Childer==
"Biological": [[Silas Christian]], [[Oliver Freigh]], [[Mila Nothing-Llyandryn]]

Considered [[Spectre Llyandryn]] her son, and no one really attempted to dissuade her of that notion. He was disowned after joining the Sabbat.

==Broodmates==
Unknown.

==Character Inspirations==
Physically, a young Shirley Manson. In concept, I owe a lot to Edith Hahn Beer and Art Spiegelman. And Marvel's Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow.

==Quotes==
"Men."

"She makes an excellent projectile." ~[[Jon Sebastian]]

"[[Katja Nothing]] is my kinda lady. Headstrong, intelligent, ambitious. It's too bad the Children of Haquim are dragging her down." -[[Johnathan Gwynn]]

"You're certainly not the ''typical'' Brujah." - [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]]

"I want to be you when I grow up." - [[Lena!]]

[[Paul Walker]]: "Emery, I'm sorry things didn't work out between you and Katja. I'm planning a golf outing next week for the rest of Katja's exes. You should come along." 
[[Emery Llyandryn]]: "What? You guys have a club? Like the 7 Evil Exes from Scott Pilgrim?" 
[[Paul Walker]]: "Oh, there's a ''lot'' more than 7 of us, Emery." 

"I say the following with all appropriate respect to your station and accomplishments, but while you would be my very first choice if I were shopping for a pair of Manolo Blahniks, I don't think you would know what a demon looks like, let alone are infernal." - Archon [[Elias Beecher]]

Sabbat member: "You're the Prince of Chicago, huh? We're coming for you, girl." 
Katja: (rolls eyes) "I call that Tuesday. ''You're'' coming for me, ''they're'' coming for me, the ''Tremere'' are coming for me...when is someone ''not'' coming for me? You're going to have to try harder than that to frighten me."

"I heard your ex-husband was going to be coming to court tonight." (beat) "Oh. I should probably narrow it down and tell you which one." - [[Christopher Matthews]]

Katja, to unknown: "A whole ''flock'' of birdies have been singing to me about what you've been up to lately. A friend of mine likes to say that we're never as clever as we think we are - and you, ''darling'', are ''so'' not clever."

[[Lan Blackwood]]:"No more marriages? Don't you miss the honeymoons?" 
Katja: "Darling, you don't even know. It's ''all'' honeymoon for me, now."

Katja, to an assemblage of Princes: "Children of Haqim are always, without hesitation, welcome in my city and at my Courts, and I have told them as much and asked them to tell their brothers of it as well. Despite the injuries I have suffered in recent nights, my offer to their family still stands and will remain standing as long as I am Prince of Chicago. If you don't want them in your City or on your Court, that's your business. I will gladly recieve your refugees with open arms in my own Domain."

"Archon [[Jon-Apolo de Soult|de Soult]], I have warned you multiple times: This is an Elysium, not a gun show." - Katja, on a certain archon's physique.

Katja, on recent events out East: "You think they screwed the pooch on this one? Total understatement. Not only did they screw the pooch, they videotaped it, and posted it on YouTube with 'Yakity Sax' playing in the background."

"I'm alive, I'm here. But they took it from me. ''He'' took it from me. I'm you now, [[Jack Sebastien|Jack]]."

"If you really loved him, you'd have gone with him, Anya."

"You wasted our time. We will require more from you." - [[Titus Petronius Niger]]

==Rumors==
* All her dates to Midwinter have ended up as Archons within a year.

* Was affiliated with the Setites for some time in the late nineties. She got over it.

* It is speculated that some if not all of the individuals she claims are her "children" are not, in fact, her own.

* Some think she may have been a Hunter childe rather than a real Brujah.

* All of her children are instructed to address [[Victoria Hunter]] as "Auntie".

* Some of her childer refer to [[Johnathan Gwynn]] as "Uncle Johnny".

* Malaphar wanted her destroyed at the 2001 Conclave for recieving more applause during presentations as her Clan representative than he did as a Justicar. Thus began her trouble with the Tremere.

* Supposedly hates women, and only tolerates them publically because she has to.

* One more than one occasion has tried to play matchmaker for [[Victoria Hunter]]. Katja just wants to see her settled down and happy.

* Texts more than a fourteen-year old girl. Her phone rarely leaves her hand.

* The murder attempt on Katja's life in 2011 may have been perpetrated by the Sabbat, but it was engineered and aided by the Tremere.

* [[Paul Walker]] is the de facto leader of her League of Evil Exes.
** With his death, the League is now in chaos.

* Took home three of the Championship belts from [[The Belt Game]] at Midwinter 2011.
** Was assisted by Archon [[Francis Merivein]] in the acquiring of said belts.

* Was propositioned by Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]] after seizing Praxis of Chicago from him. She declined his advances.

* Is infernal and an impostor claiming to be her.
** Is infernal and part of a Lilith cult.

* Is not infernal, and just has the luck of the Devil instead.
**It's because she's a devout Jew and is one of the "chosen people".

* Has a bit of a shoe fetish.

* Has a secret lover.

* The lover is a Tremere, which is why the Clan wants to kill her so badly.
** Has been seen being ''very'' close to [[Philip Walkin]] since his reemergence in Kindred society.
*** Then, of course, there's [[Jon-Apolo de Soult|this guy]].
**** That guy is a dead man if someone finds out.

* The lover is a Brujah, because she's "learned to stick with her own kind".
** And by that we mean [[Jack Sebastien|"angry pariahs"]].
*** If true, it would be her longest running relationship to date, an intriguing bit of trivia to say the least.
****Publicly confirmed at the Grand Gathering in the Bay Area in May, to a distinct lack of surprise.
*****Which made her kind of sad.

* The lover is an Archon of questionable reputation.
** Or at least, he used to be. An archon, that is. He still has a questionable rep.
*** Now an Archon again. She warned him what would happen if she took him to Midwinter.

* All of the above speculations are correct and she's two-timing them both.

* Has refused Archonship positions three times, with two different Justicars.

* Every last pair of her impossibly high heels have been refitted with wood, a trick she taught to [[Victoria Hunter]].

* Justicar [[Lotharius]] and his agents have taken a very personal interest in her, bordering on obsession.
** Interestingly, he was very noticeably absent from her Judicial Conclave...

* After her attack on [[Kate Davidson]] at Midwinter 2012, some heard her snarl wordlessly, others could have sworn she hissed "stay away from him". No one is certain what prompted this...or who the "him" she was referencing could be. If she even said that at all.

* After speaking to him privately at Midwinter 2012, [[Elias Beecher]], previously thought dead in the battle the prior evening, was seen to have been talking to her very seriously, before concluding the conversation by standing on his tiptoes and kissing her on the cheek.

* For someone who supposedly hates women, she sure does seem to enjoy the company of [[Isabella Visconti]]. Maybe a little too much.

* Something in the past few months has taken her attention so much she's canceled Court repeatedly.

* Started a charity in Indonesia where poor orphan children learn valuable job skills making knock-off Christian Louboutins

* More than a few Brujah women have taken to wearing anklebreaker heels as a point of fashion when visiting her Court. She approves of this and often praises their taste in shoes.

* Was 'motorboated' by [[Mallory Jones]] at the Grand Gathering in Berkeley in May, because she "just couldn't help it, I mean, look at those things!"

* Was named as one half of the Brujah Power Couple of the Year along with [[Jack Sebastien|this guy]].
** Don't you mean 3/4's of the Brujah Power Couple of the Year? I might it's only [[Jack Sebastien|this guy]]

* Was one of the last people seen talking to [[Elias Beecher]] before he mysteriously disappeared at the Grand Elysium in Columbus, 2012. She looked deeply uncomfortable during the course of their brief conversation.
* Keeps a Tremere in her Domain that looks oddly similar to [[Philip Walkin]]

* Has admitted to "trading sexual favors for goods" in public.

* In the announcement of the results of her Judicial Conclave, she was the only one whose charges were not publicly elaborated upon.
** Some say this is because a certain bargain was made...
*** Others think there's an even deeper, darker reason than that.

"Archon [[Jon-Apolo de Soult|de Soult]], I have warned you multiple times: This is an Elysium, not a gun show." - Katja, on a certain archon's physique.

Katja, on recent events out East: "You think they screwed the pooch on this one? Total understatement. Not only did they screw the pooch, they videotaped it, and posted it on YouTube with 'Yakity Sax' playing in the background."

"I'm alive, I'm here. But they took it from me. ''He'' took it from me. I'm you now, [[Jack Sebastien|Jack]]."

"If you really loved him, you'd have gone with him, Anya."

"You wasted our time. We will require more from you." - [[Titus Petronius Niger]]

**** That guy is a dead man if someone finds out.

* The lover is a Brujah, because she's "learned to stick with her own kind".
** And by that we mean [[Jack Sebastien|"angry pariahs"]].

****Publicly confirmed at the Grand Gathering in the Bay Area in May, to a distinct lack of surprise.

=Character Information=

[[File:KatWiki.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Kat at Court, photo by Meredith Gerber]] She's been everywhere and nowhere. Always in the background, always the source of the cynicism, dry wit and scathing snark from the back of the room. When she'd gotten off the plane at O'Hare International Airport in September of 1997, she'd had a thick Russian accent, a moderate grasp of the English language, a pair of four-inch stiletto boots, a pack of cigarettes, a tattoo of six numbers on her left forearm, and jaded eyes. Only the accent and the linguistics have changed in the past thirteen years.

The woman is never seen in public without at least one man on her arm, whether it's a husband, a childer, a fellow clanmate, an Archon, a Prince...you name it. At large events and gatherings, she invariably has multiple dates...and an entourage to boot, mostly men of high standing and Camarilla position. She's left a string of dead husbands in her wake, none, she will assure you kindly, deceased by her own hand. Some of the Brujah call her "Black Widow" behind her back. And to her face.

But she can charm them, somehow; she's always got a wink and a smile, a throaty laugh and a sly sidelong look for those she calls "her boys". If she ''really'' likes you, she'll shower you with little endearments: pumpkin, sugar, honey, sweetheart, darling. She's fiercely protective and unendingly loyal to those she calls family. G-d help you if you so much as look at her childer sideways, or lay hands upon those that she loves.

It seems like she knows nearly everyone, almost everywhere. She boldly calls several Archons by their first names rather than their titles, reminding some of them not-so-subtly that she remembers when they were just little stripling things, learning at her knee or fighting by her side. At the Springfield Conclave of 2001, she'd gotten more applause than some of the Justicars when she was introduced, irritating then-Justicar Malaphar of the Tremere considerably.

She's not much like the rest of the Rabble, at least, as far as outward appearances go. Sure, she's quick-tempered, but that's pretty much where the similarity ends. She doesn't go in for pack mentality, and has dug in her heels on a number of issues that have occasionally put her at odds with her own Clan. Especially after she took Praxis of Chicago from Petronius. Now her speech is more florid and formal, her dress conservative, her smile a bit more forced, her movements deliberate, her alliances careful.

The attempt on her life seems to have changed her some. The removal of her position as Prince by the Justicariate definitely has. Time will tell if the change is for the better, or worse.

==Known History==
Was an inmate of Auschwitz prior to Embrace. A resident of Chicago since 1997. Has outlived four Kindred husbands in fifteen years. Originally a resident and one of the longest-standing Primogen of Chicago, she relocated briefly before the Siege of Chicago and resided in Champaign around the turn of the milennium under Princes [[James Jones]] and [[Philip Walkin]]. Was Archon [[Jon Sebastian]]'s constant companion for several years, the two were rarely seen apart. Fought alongside former Justicar [[Masako]] during the Sabbat siege of Chicago in 2000 and returned permanently to reside in the city shortly thereafter. Took Praxis of Chicago from Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]] in December of 2009.

Attacked by two Sabbat assassins in front of the Drake Hotel on May 28, 2011 and presumed destroyed. Reemerged in Chicago and reclaimed her Praxis from [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]] almost exactly four months later on September 24, 2011.

After her reemergence in Kindred society, she was dogged by some highly disturbing rumors, most notably that she was an infernalist impostor. On November 26, 2011 she was publically cleared of all suspicion of infernalism by Archon [[Elias Beecher]] of Justicar [[Maris Streck]]'s office and Archon [[Terminus]] of Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]]'s office, as well as passing a private inquiry by Archon [[Saul Good]] of Justicar [[Cock Robin]]'s office, and a personal inquiry by Justicar [[Jaroslav Pascek]] himself.

To sum it up: totes not infernal, y'all.

At the Midwinter gathering of 2012, she noticeably went missing from the battle with Moloch, earning more than a little spite and derision from those Brujah who claimed that she willfully ignored a Call to Arms. Her explanation that she was "fighting on a different front" was met with confusion. She also garnered a fair amount of scandal by attacking Archon [[Kate Davidson]] in front of hundreds of people, actually ripping out a huge chunk of her hair and throwing it on the ground as the Archon was walking [[Paul Walker]] into a private room for interrogation. It was later discovered to be a hairpiece.

Judicially conclaved at Midwinter 2013 and removed from her position as Prince of Chicago on January 18, 2013. She was also stripped of one of her Feared names. Details of this Conclave released recently are nebulous about what, if any, crimes she was found guilty of, but the oddly worded decision was released all the same. She was seen briefly the evening after this conclave wearing [[Jack Sebastien]]'s clothes and looking pissed. She disappeared after the gathering.

==Coterie==
"Oh darling, affiliation with coteries are so ''dangerous'' these days. I try to avoid them, and if you're smart, you will too."

==Allies==
Archon [[Jon Sebastian]], (former) Archon [[Jack Sebastien]] (no relation), Archon [[Leonius Agrippa]] (deceased), Archon [[Victoria Hunter]], Archon [[Zio!]] (deceased), [[Hazzan Marwan]], [[Johnathan Gwynn]], Prince [[Zphonco Davinovich]], [[Khloe Hale]], and [[Isabella Rodriguez]], to name a scant handful. She may or may not have been involved politically or romantically with [[Sheldon Goldstein]], briefly, depending on who you talk to. Surprisingly, she even claims a longtime Tremere ally, [[Philip Walkin]], who has recently resurfaced in the Springfield area. She claims he is the only Tremere she has ever liked, and indeed, they have often been spotted together in public in recent months.

She is exceptionally fond of the Children of Haquim in general and very friendly with almost all members of that family locally, as well as a good handful nationally as well. She is often seen with at least one at her side.

==Enemies==

The Tremere, in general, seem to really, really dislike her.

Refers to [[Paul Walker]] as her "nemesis", though rumor has it that they've recently decided to hate other people.

Ex-husband [[Emery Llyandryn]] has threatened her publicly, at her own Court.

[http://anarch.owbn.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Donovan_Creave Donovan Creave] has threatened her repeatedly both in public and in private.

The assassins who attacked her in the Spring of 2011 are now dead...those who engineered it still live.

After ripping out [[Kate Davidson]]'s weave very publicly at the Midwinter gathering in January 2012, it is likely she has not earned the Archon's friendship.

[[Albert Iverson]] can't seem to stop talking shit about her to anyone with a pair of ears.

==Sire==
Unknown. Was a drive-by embrace.

==Childer==
"Biological": [[Silas Christian]], [[Oliver Freigh]], [[Mila Nothing-Llyandryn]]

Considered [[Spectre Llyandryn]] her son, and no one really attempted to dissuade her of that notion. He was disowned after joining the Sabbat.

==Broodmates==
Unknown.

==Character Inspirations==
Physically, a young Shirley Manson. In concept, I owe a lot to Edith Hahn Beer and Art Spiegelman. And Marvel's Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow.

Sabbat member: "You're the Prince of Chicago, huh? We're coming for you, girl." 
Katja: (rolls eyes) "I call that Tuesday. ''You're'' coming for me, ''they're'' coming for me, the ''Tremere'' are coming for me...when is someone ''not'' coming for me? You're going to have to try harder than that to frighten me."

Judicially conclaved at Midwinter 2013 and removed from her position as Prince of Chicago on January 18, 2013. She was also stripped of one of her Feared names. Details of this Conclave released recently are nebulous about what, if any, crimes she was found guilty of, but the oddly worded decision was released all the same. She was seen briefly the evening after this conclave wearing [[Jack Sebastien]]'s clothes and looking pissed. She disappeared after the gathering.

==Coterie==
"Oh darling, affiliation with coteries are so ''dangerous'' these days. I try to avoid them, and if you're smart, you will too."

==Allies==
Archon [[Jon Sebastian]], (former) Archon [[Jack Sebastien]] (no relation), Archon [[Leonius Agrippa]] (deceased), Archon [[Victoria Hunter]], Archon [[Zio!]] (deceased), [[Hazzan Marwan]], [[Johnathan Gwynn]], Prince [[Zphonco Davinovich]], [[Khloe Hale]], and [[Isabella Rodriguez]], to name a scant handful. She may or may not have been involved politically or romantically with [[Sheldon Goldstein]], briefly, depending on who you talk to. Surprisingly, she even claims a longtime Tremere ally, [[Philip Walkin]], who has recently resurfaced in the Springfield area. She claims he is the only Tremere she has ever liked, and indeed, they have often been spotted together in public in recent months.

She is exceptionally fond of the Children of Haquim in general and very friendly with almost all members of that family locally, as well as a good handful nationally as well. She is often seen with at least one at her side.

==Enemies==

The Tremere, in general, seem to really, really dislike her.

Refers to [[Paul Walker]] as her "nemesis", though rumor has it that they've recently decided to hate other people.

Ex-husband [[Emery Llyandryn]] has threatened her publicly, at her own Court.

[http://anarch.owbn.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Donovan_Creave Donovan Creave] has threatened her repeatedly both in public and in private.

The assassins who attacked her in the Spring of 2011 are now dead...those who engineered it still live.

After ripping out [[Kate Davidson]]'s weave very publicly at the Midwinter gathering in January 2012, it is likely she has not earned the Archon's friendship.

[[Albert Iverson]] can't seem to stop talking shit about her to anyone with a pair of ears.

==Sire==
Unknown. Was a drive-by embrace.

==Childer==
"Biological": [[Silas Christian]], [[Oliver Freigh]], [[Mila Nothing-Llyandryn]]

Considered [[Spectre Llyandryn]] her son, and no one really attempted to dissuade her of that notion. He was disowned after joining the Sabbat.

==Broodmates==
Unknown.

==Character Inspirations==
Physically, a young Shirley Manson. In concept, I owe a lot to Edith Hahn Beer and Art Spiegelman. And Marvel's Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow.

==Quotes==
"Men."

"She makes an excellent projectile." ~[[Jon Sebastian]]

"[[Katja Nothing]] is my kinda lady. Headstrong, intelligent, ambitious. It's too bad the Children of Haquim are dragging her down." -[[Johnathan Gwynn]]

"You're certainly not the ''typical'' Brujah." - [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]]

"I want to be you when I grow up." - [[Lena!]]

[[Paul Walker]]: "Emery, I'm sorry things didn't work out between you and Katja. I'm planning a golf outing next week for the rest of Katja's exes. You should come along." 
[[Emery Llyandryn]]: "What? You guys have a club? Like the 7 Evil Exes from Scott Pilgrim?" 
[[Paul Walker]]: "Oh, there's a ''lot'' more than 7 of us, Emery." 

"I say the following with all appropriate respect to your station and accomplishments, but while you would be my very first choice if I were shopping for a pair of Manolo Blahniks, I don't think you would know what a demon looks like, let alone are infernal." - Archon [[Elias Beecher]]

Sabbat member: "You're the Prince of Chicago, huh? We're coming for you, girl." 
Katja: (rolls eyes) "I call that Tuesday. ''You're'' coming for me, ''they're'' coming for me, the ''Tremere'' are coming for me...when is someone ''not'' coming for me? You're going to have to try harder than that to frighten me."

"I heard your ex-husband was going to be coming to court tonight." (beat) "Oh. I should probably narrow it down and tell you which one." - [[Christopher Matthews]]

Katja, to unknown: "A whole ''flock'' of birdies have been singing to me about what you've been up to lately. A friend of mine likes to say that we're never as clever as we think we are - and you, ''darling'', are ''so'' not clever."

[[Lan Blackwood]]:"No more marriages? Don't you miss the honeymoons?" 
Katja: "Darling, you don't even know. It's ''all'' honeymoon for me, now."

Katja, to an assemblage of Princes: "Children of Haqim are always, without hesitation, welcome in my city and at my Courts, and I have told them as much and asked them to tell their brothers of it as well. Despite the injuries I have suffered in recent nights, my offer to their family still stands and will remain standing as long as I am Prince of Chicago. If you don't want them in your City or on your Court, that's your business. I will gladly recieve your refugees with open arms in my own Domain."

"Archon [[Jon-Apolo de Soult|de Soult]], I have warned you multiple times: This is an Elysium, not a gun show." - Katja, on a certain archon's physique.

Katja, on recent events out East: "You think they screwed the pooch on this one? Total understatement. Not only did they screw the pooch, they videotaped it, and posted it on YouTube with 'Yakity Sax' playing in the background."

"I'm alive, I'm here. But they took it from me. ''He'' took it from me. I'm you now, Jack."

"If you really loved him, you'd have gone with him, Anya."

==Rumors==

* Was affiliated with the Setites for some time in the late nineties. She got over it.

* It is speculated that some if not all of the individuals she claims are her "children" are not, in fact, her own.

* Some think she may have been a Hunter childe rather than a real Brujah.

* All of her children are instructed to address [[Victoria Hunter]] as "Auntie".

* Some of her childer refer to [[Johnathan Gwynn]] as "Uncle Johnny".

* May have addressed a few Justicars publically by their first names...and gotten away with it.

* Malaphar wanted her destroyed at the 2001 Conclave for recieving more applause during presentations as her Clan representative than he did as a Justicar. Thus began her trouble with the Tremere.

* Supposedly hates women, and only tolerates them publically because she has to.

* One more than one occasion has tried to play matchmaker for [[Victoria Hunter]]. Katja just wants to see her settled down and happy.

* Texts more than a fourteen-year old girl. Her phone rarely leaves her hand.

* The murder attempt on Katja's life may have been perpetrated by the Sabbat, but it was engineered and aided by the Tremere.

* [[Paul Walker]] is the de facto leader of her League of Evil Exes.

* Is infernal and an impostor claiming to be her.
** Is infernal and part of a Lilith cult.

* Is not infernal, and just has the luck of the Devil instead.
**It's because she's a devout Jew and is one of the "chosen people".

* Has a bit of a shoe fetish.

* Has a secret lover.

* The lover is a Tremere, which is why the Clan wants to kill her so badly.
** Has been seen being ''very'' close to [[Philip Walkin]] since his reemergence in Kindred society.
*** Then, of course, there's [[Jon-Apolo de Soult|this guy]].
**** That guy is a dead man if someone finds out.

* The lover is a Brujah, because she's "learned to stick with her own kind".
** And by that we mean [[Jack Sebastien|"angry pariahs"]].
*** If true, it would be her longest running relationship to date, an intriguing bit of trivia to say the least.
****Publicly confirmed at the Grand Gathering in the Bay Area in May, to a distinct lack of surprise.
*****Which made her kind of sad.

* The lover is an Archon of questionable reputation.

** Interestingly, he was very noticeably absent from her Judicial Conclave...

* After her attack on [[Kate Davidson]] at Midwinter 2012, some heard her snarl wordlessly, others could have sworn she hissed "stay away from him". No one is certain what prompted this...or who the "him" she was referencing could be. If she even said that at all.

* Something in the past few months has taken her attention so much she's canceled Court repeatedly.

* Started a charity in Indonesia where poor orphan children learn valuable job skills making knock-off Christian Louboutins

* More than a few Brujah women have taken to wearing anklebreaker heels as a point of fashion when visiting her Court. She approves of this and often praises their taste in shoes.

* Was 'motorboated' by [[Mallory Jones]] at the Grand Gathering in Berkeley in May, because she "just couldn't help it, I mean, look at those things!"

* Was named as one half of the Brujah Power Couple of the Year along with [[Jack Sebastien|this guy]].
** Don't you mean 3/4's of the Brujah Power Couple of the Year? I might it's only [[Jack Sebastien|this guy]]

* Was one of the last people seen talking to [[Elias Beecher]] before he mysteriously disappeared at the Grand Elysium in Columbus, 2012. She looked deeply uncomfortable during the course of their brief conversation.
* Keeps a Tremere in her Domain that looks oddly similar to [[Philip Walkin]]

* Has admitted to "trading sexual favors for goods" in public.

* In the announcement of the results of her Judicial Conclave, she was the only one whose charges were not publicly elaborated upon.
** Some say this is because a certain bargain was made...
*** Others think there's an even deeper, darker reason than that.

=Character Information=

[[File:KatWiki.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Kat at Court, photo by Meredith Gerber]] She's been everywhere and nowhere. Always in the background, always the source of the cynicism, dry wit and scathing snark from the back of the room. When she'd gotten off the plane at O'Hare International Airport in September of 1997, she'd had a thick Russian accent, a moderate grasp of the English language, a pair of four-inch stiletto boots, a pack of cigarettes, a tattoo of six numbers on her left forearm, and jaded eyes. Only the accent and the linguistics have changed in the past thirteen years.

The woman is never seen in public without at least one man on her arm, whether it's a husband, a childer, a fellow clanmate, an Archon, a Prince...you name it. At large events and gatherings, she invariably has multiple dates...and an entourage to boot, mostly men of high standing and Camarilla position. She's left a string of dead husbands in her wake, none, she will assure you kindly, deceased by her own hand. Some of the Brujah call her "Black Widow" behind her back. And to her face.

But she can charm them, somehow; she's always got a wink and a smile, a throaty laugh and a sly sidelong look for those she calls "her boys". If she ''really'' likes you, she'll shower you with little endearments: pumpkin, sugar, honey, sweetheart, darling. She's fiercely protective and unendingly loyal to those she calls family. G-d help you if you so much as look at her childer sideways, or lay hands upon those that she loves.

It seems like she knows nearly everyone, almost everywhere. She boldly calls several Archons by their first names rather than their titles, reminding some of them not-so-subtly that she remembers when they were just little stripling things, learning at her knee or fighting by her side. At the Springfield Conclave of 2001, she'd gotten more applause than some of the Justicars when she was introduced, irritating then-Justicar Malaphar of the Tremere considerably.

She's not much like the rest of the Rabble, at least, as far as outward appearances go. Sure, she's quick-tempered, but that's pretty much where the similarity ends. She doesn't go in for pack mentality, and has dug in her heels on a number of issues that have occasionally put her at odds with her own Clan. Especially after she took Praxis of Chicago from Petronius. Now her speech is more florid and formal, her dress conservative, her smile a bit more forced, her movements deliberate, her alliances careful.

The attempt on her life seems to have changed her some. The removal of her position as Prince by the Justicariate definitely has. Time will tell if the change is for the better, or worse.

==Known History==
Was an inmate of Auschwitz prior to Embrace. A resident of Chicago since 1997. Has outlived four Kindred husbands in fifteen years. Originally a resident and one of the longest-standing Primogen of Chicago, she relocated briefly before the Siege of Chicago and resided in Champaign around the turn of the milennium under Princes [[James Jones]] and [[Philip Walkin]]. Was Archon [[Jon Sebastian]]'s constant companion for several years, the two were rarely seen apart. Fought alongside former Justicar [[Masako]] during the Sabbat siege of Chicago in 2000 and returned permanently to reside in the city shortly thereafter. Took Praxis of Chicago from Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]] in December of 2009.

Attacked by two Sabbat assassins in front of the Drake Hotel on May 28, 2011 and presumed destroyed. Reemerged in Chicago and reclaimed her Praxis from [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]] almost exactly four months later on September 24, 2011.

After her reemergence in Kindred society, she was dogged by some highly disturbing rumors, most notably that she was an infernalist impostor. On November 26, 2011 she was publically cleared of all suspicion of infernalism by Archon [[Elias Beecher]] of Justicar [[Maris Streck]]'s office and Archon [[Terminus]] of Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]]'s office, as well as passing a private inquiry by Archon [[Saul Good]] of Justicar [[Cock Robin]]'s office, and a personal inquiry by Justicar [[Jaroslav Pascek]] himself.

To sum it up: totes not infernal, y'all.

At the Midwinter gathering of 2012, she noticeably went missing from the battle with Moloch, earning more than a little spite and derision from those Brujah who claimed that she willfully ignored a Call to Arms. Her explanation that she was "fighting on a different front" was met with confusion. She also garnered a fair amount of scandal by attacking Archon [[Kate Davidson]] in front of hundreds of people, actually ripping out a huge chunk of her hair and throwing it on the ground as the Archon was walking [[Paul Walker]] into a private room for interrogation. It was later discovered to be a hairpiece.

Judicially conclaved at Midwinter 2013 and removed from her position as Prince of Chicago on January 18, 2013. She was also stripped of one of her Feared names. Details of this Conclave released recently are nebulous about what, if any, crimes she was found guilty of, but the oddly worded decision was released all the same. She was seen briefly the evening after this conclave wearing [[Jack Sebastien]]'s clothes and looking pissed. She disappeared after the gathering.

=Character Information=

[[File:KatWiki.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Kat at Court, photo by Meredith Gerber]] She's been everywhere and nowhere. Always in the background, always the source of the cynicism, dry wit and scathing snark from the back of the room. When she'd gotten off the plane at O'Hare International Airport in September of 1997, she'd had a thick Russian accent, a moderate grasp of the English language, a pair of four-inch stiletto boots, a pack of cigarettes, a tattoo of six numbers on her left forearm, and jaded eyes. Only the accent and the linguistics have changed in the past thirteen years.

The woman is never seen in public without at least one man on her arm, whether it's a husband, a childer, a fellow clanmate, an Archon, a Prince...you name it. At large events and gatherings, she invariably has multiple dates...and an entourage to boot, mostly men of high standing and Camarilla position. She's left a string of dead husbands in her wake, none, she will assure you kindly, deceased by her own hand. Some of the Brujah call her "Black Widow" behind her back. And to her face.

But she can charm them, somehow; she's always got a wink and a smile, a throaty laugh and a sly sidelong look for those she calls "her boys". If she ''really'' likes you, she'll shower you with little endearments: pumpkin, sugar, honey, sweetheart, darling. She's fiercely protective and unendingly loyal to those she calls family. G-d help you if you so much as look at her childer sideways, or lay hands upon those that she loves.

It seems like she knows nearly everyone, almost everywhere. She boldly calls several Archons by their first names rather than their titles, reminding some of them not-so-subtly that she remembers when they were just little stripling things, learning at her knee or fighting by her side. At the Springfield Conclave of 2001, she'd gotten more applause than some of the Justicars when she was introduced, irritating then-Justicar Malaphar of the Tremere considerably.

She's not much like the rest of the Rabble, at least, as far as outward appearances go. Sure, she's quick-tempered, but that's pretty much where the similarity ends. She doesn't go in for pack mentality, and has dug in her heels on a number of issues that have occasionally put her at odds with her own Clan. Especially after she took Praxis of Chicago from Petronius. Now her speech is more florid and formal, her dress conservative, her smile a bit more forced, her movements deliberate, her alliances careful.

The attempt on her life seems to have changed her some. The removal of her position as Prince by the Justicariate definitely has. Time will tell if the change is for the better, or worse.

==Known History==
Was an inmate of Auschwitz prior to Embrace. A resident of Chicago since 1997. Has outlived four Kindred husbands in fifteen years. Originally a resident and one of the longest-standing Primogen of Chicago, she relocated briefly before the Siege of Chicago and resided in Champaign around the turn of the milennium under Princes [[James Jones]] and [[Philip Walkin]]. Was Archon [[Jon Sebastian]]'s constant companion for several years, the two were rarely seen apart. Fought alongside former Justicar [[Masako]] during the Sabbat siege of Chicago in 2000 and returned permanently to reside in the city shortly thereafter. Took Praxis of Chicago from Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]] in December of 2009.

Attacked by two Sabbat assassins in front of the Drake Hotel on May 28, 2011 and presumed destroyed. Reemerged in Chicago and reclaimed her Praxis from [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]] almost exactly four months later on September 24, 2011.

After her reemergence in Kindred society, she was dogged by some highly disturbing rumors, most notably that she was an infernalist impostor. On November 26, 2011 she was publically cleared of all suspicion of infernalism by Archon [[Elias Beecher]] of Justicar [[Maris Streck]]'s office and Archon [[Terminus]] of Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]]'s office, as well as passing a private inquiry by Archon [[Saul Good]] of Justicar [[Cock Robin]]'s office, and a personal inquiry by Justicar [[Jaroslav Pascek]] himself.

To sum it up: totes not infernal, y'all.

At the Midwinter gathering of 2012, she noticeably went missing from the battle with Moloch, earning more than a little spite and derision from those Brujah who claimed that she willfully ignored a Call to Arms. Her explanation that she was "fighting on a different front" was met with confusion. She also garnered a fair amount of scandal by attacking Archon [[Kate Davidson]] in front of hundreds of people, actually ripping out a huge chunk of her hair and throwing it on the ground as the Archon was walking [[Paul Walker]] into a private room for interrogation. It was later discovered to be a hairpiece.

Judicially conclaved at Midwiter 2013 and removed from her position as Prince of Chicago on January 18, 2013. She was also stripped of one of her Feared names. Details of this Conclave released recently are nebulous about what, if any, crimes she was found guilty of, but the oddly worded decision was released all the same. She was seen briefly the evening after this conclave wearing [[Jack Sebastien]]'s clothes and looking pissed. She disappeared after the gathering.

==Coterie==
"Oh darling, affiliation with coteries are so ''dangerous'' these days. I try to avoid them, and if you're smart, you will too."

==Allies==
Archon [[Jon Sebastian]], (former) Archon [[Jack Sebastien]] (no relation), Archon [[Leonius Agrippa]] (deceased), Archon [[Victoria Hunter]], Archon [[Zio!]] (deceased), [[Hazzan Marwan]], [[Johnathan Gwynn]], Prince [[Zphonco Davinovich]], [[Khloe Hale]], and [[Isabella Rodriguez]], to name a scant handful. She may or may not have been involved politically or romantically with [[Sheldon Goldstein]], briefly, depending on who you talk to. Surprisingly, she even claims a longtime Tremere ally, [[Philip Walkin]], who has recently resurfaced in the Springfield area. She claims he is the only Tremere she has ever liked, and indeed, they have often been spotted together in public in recent months.

She is exceptionally fond of the Children of Haquim in general and very friendly with almost all members of that family locally, as well as a good handful nationally as well. She is often seen with at least one at her side.

==Enemies==

The Tremere, in general, seem to really, really dislike her.

Refers to [[Paul Walker]] as her "nemesis", though rumor has it that they've recently decided to hate other people.

Ex-husband [[Emery Llyandryn]] has threatened her publicly, at her own Court.

[http://anarch.owbn.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Donovan_Creave Donovan Creave] has threatened her repeatedly both in public and in private.

The assassins who attacked her in the Spring of 2011 are now dead...those who engineered it still live.

After ripping out [[Kate Davidson]]'s weave very publicly at the Midwinter gathering in January 2012, it is likely she has not earned the Archon's friendship.

[[Albert Iverson]] can't seem to stop talking shit about her to anyone with a pair of ears.

==Sire==
Unknown. Was a drive-by embrace.

==Childer==
"Biological": [[Silas Christian]], [[Oliver Freigh]], [[Mila Nothing-Llyandryn]]

Considered [[Spectre Llyandryn]] her son, and no one really attempted to dissuade her of that notion. He was disowned after joining the Sabbat.

==Broodmates==
Unknown.

==Character Inspirations==
Physically, a young Shirley Manson. In concept, I owe a lot to Edith Hahn Beer and Art Spiegelman. And Marvel's Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow.

==Quotes==
"Men."

"She makes an excellent projectile." ~[[Jon Sebastian]]

"[[Katja Nothing]] is my kinda lady. Headstrong, intelligent, ambitious. It's too bad the Children of Haquim are dragging her down." -[[Johnathan Gwynn]]

"You're certainly not the ''typical'' Brujah." - [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]]

"I want to be you when I grow up." - [[Lena!]]

[[Paul Walker]]: "Emery, I'm sorry things didn't work out between you and Katja. I'm planning a golf outing next week for the rest of Katja's exes. You should come along." 
[[Emery Llyandryn]]: "What? You guys have a club? Like the 7 Evil Exes from Scott Pilgrim?" 
[[Paul Walker]]: "Oh, there's a ''lot'' more than 7 of us, Emery." 

"I say the following with all appropriate respect to your station and accomplishments, but while you would be my very first choice if I were shopping for a pair of Manolo Blahniks, I don't think you would know what a demon looks like, let alone are infernal." - Archon [[Elias Beecher]]

Sabbat member: "You're the Prince of Chicago, huh? We're coming for you, girl." 
Katja: (rolls eyes) "I call that Tuesday. ''You're'' coming for me, ''they're'' coming for me, the ''Tremere'' are coming for me...when is someone ''not'' coming for me? You're going to have to try harder than that to frighten me."

"I heard your ex-husband was going to be coming to court tonight." (beat) "Oh. I should probably narrow it down and tell you which one." - [[Christopher Matthews]]

Katja, to unknown: "A whole ''flock'' of birdies have been singing to me about what you've been up to lately. A friend of mine likes to say that we're never as clever as we think we are - and you, ''darling'', are ''so'' not clever."

[[Lan Blackwood]]:"No more marriages? Don't you miss the honeymoons?" 
Katja: "Darling, you don't even know. It's ''all'' honeymoon for me, now."

Katja, to an assemblage of Princes: "Children of Haqim are always, without hesitation, welcome in my city and at my Courts, and I have told them as much and asked them to tell their brothers of it as well. Despite the injuries I have suffered in recent nights, my offer to their family still stands and will remain standing as long as I am Prince of Chicago. If you don't want them in your City or on your Court, that's your business. I will gladly recieve your refugees with open arms in my own Domain."

"Archon [[Jon-Apolo de Soult|de Soult]], I have warned you multiple times: This is an Elysium, not a gun show." - Katja, on a certain archon's physique.

Katja, on recent events out East: "You think they screwed the pooch on this one? Total understatement. Not only did they screw the pooch, they videotaped it, and posted it on YouTube with 'Yakity Sax' playing in the background."

"I'm alive, I'm here. But they took it from me. ''He'' took it from me. I'm you now, Jack."

"If you really loved him, you'd have gone with him, Anya."

==Rumors==
* All her dates to Midwinter have ended up as Archons within a year.

* Was affiliated with the Setites for some time in the late nineties. She got over it.

* It is speculated that some if not all of the individuals she claims are her "children" are not, in fact, her own.

* Some think she may have been a Hunter childe rather than a real Brujah.

* All of her children are instructed to address [[Victoria Hunter]] as "Auntie".

* Some of her childer refer to [[Johnathan Gwynn]] as "Uncle Johnny".

* May have addressed a few Justicars publically by their first names...and gotten away with it.

* Malaphar wanted her destroyed at the 2001 Conclave for recieving more applause during presentations as her Clan representative than he did as a Justicar. Thus began her trouble with the Tremere.

* Supposedly hates women, and only tolerates them publically because she has to.

* One more than one occasion has tried to play matchmaker for [[Victoria Hunter]]. Katja just wants to see her settled down and happy.

* Texts more than a fourteen-year old girl. Her phone rarely leaves her hand.

* The murder attempt on Katja's life may have been perpetrated by the Sabbat, but it was engineered and aided by the Tremere.

* [[Paul Walker]] is the de facto leader of her League of Evil Exes.

* Took home three of the Championship belts from [[The Belt Game]] at Midwinter 2011.
** Was assisted by Archon [[Francis Merivein]] in the acquiring of said belts.

* Was propositioned by Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]] after seizing Praxis of Chicago from him. She declined his advances.

* Is infernal and an impostor claiming to be her.
** Is infernal and part of a Lilith cult.

* Is not infernal, and just has the luck of the Devil instead.
**It's because she's a devout Jew and is one of the "chosen people".

* Has a bit of a shoe fetish.

* Has a secret lover.

* The lover is a Tremere, which is why the Clan wants to kill her so badly.
** Has been seen being ''very'' close to [[Philip Walkin]] since his reemergence in Kindred society.
*** Then, of course, there's [[Jon-Apolo de Soult|this guy]].
**** That guy is a dead man if someone finds out.

* The lover is a Brujah, because she's "learned to stick with her own kind".
** And by that we mean [[Jack Sebastien|"angry pariahs"]].
*** If true, it would be her longest running relationship to date, an intriguing bit of trivia to say the least.
****Publicly confirmed at the Grand Gathering in the Bay Area in May, to a distinct lack of surprise.
*****Which made her kind of sad.

* The lover is an Archon of questionable reputation.
** Or at least, he used to be. An archon, that is. He still has a questionable rep.

* All of the above speculations are correct and she's two-timing them both.

* Has refused Archonship positions three times, with two different Justicars.

* Every last pair of her impossibly high heels have been refitted with wood, a trick she taught to [[Victoria Hunter]].

* Justicar [[Lotharius]] and his agents have taken a very personal interest in her, bordering on obsession.

* After her attack on [[Kate Davidson]] at Midwinter 2012, some heard her snarl wordlessly, others could have sworn she hissed "stay away from him". No one is certain what prompted this...or who the "him" she was referencing could be. If she even said that at all.

* After speaking to him privately at Midwinter 2012, [[Elias Beecher]], previously thought dead in the battle the prior evening, was seen to have been talking to her very seriously, before concluding the conversation by standing on his tiptoes and kissing her on the cheek.

* Has her own Twitter account.

* For someone who supposedly hates women, she sure does seem to enjoy the company of [[Isabella Visconti]]. Maybe a little too much.

* Something in the past few months has taken her attention so much she's canceled Court repeatedly.

* Started a charity in Indonesia where poor orphan children learn valuable job skills making knock-off Christian Louboutins

* More than a few Brujah women have taken to wearing anklebreaker heels as a point of fashion when visiting her Court. She approves of this and often praises their taste in shoes.

* Was 'motorboated' by [[Mallory Jones]] at the Grand Gathering in Berkeley in May, because she "just couldn't help it, I mean, look at those things!"

* Was named as one half of the Brujah Power Couple of the Year along with [[Jack Sebastien|this guy]].
** Don't you mean 3/4's of the Brujah Power Couple of the Year? I might it's only [[Jack Sebastien|this guy]]

* Was one of the last people seen talking to [[Elias Beecher]] before he mysteriously disappeared at the Grand Elysium in Columbus, 2012. She looked deeply uncomfortable during the course of their brief conversation.
* Keeps a Tremere in her Domain that looks oddly similar to [[Philip Walkin]]

* Has admitted to "trading sexual favors for goods" in public.

Katja, to unknown: "A whole ''flock'' of birdies have been singing to me about what you've been up to lately. A friend of mine likes to say that we're never as clever as we think we are - and you, ''darling'', are ''so'' not clever."

[[Lan Blackwood]]:"No more marriages? Don't you miss the honeymoons?" 
Katja: "Darling, you don't even know. It's ''all'' honeymoon for me, now."

Katja, to an assemblage of Princes: "Children of Haqim are always, without hesitation, welcome in my city and at my Courts, and I have told them as much and asked them to tell their brothers of it as well. Despite the injuries I have suffered in recent nights, my offer to their family still stands and will remain standing as long as I am Prince of Chicago. If you don't want them in your City or on your Court, that's your business. I will gladly recieve your refugees with open arms in my own Domain."

"Archon [[Jon-Apolo de Soult|de Soult]], I have warned you multiple times: This is an Elysium, not a gun show." - Katja, on a certain archon's physique.

Katja, on recent events out East: "You think they screwed the pooch on this one? Total understatement. Not only did they screw the pooch, they videotaped it, and posted it on YouTube with 'Yakity Sax' playing in the background."

"I'm alive, I'm here. But they took it from me. ''He'' took it from me. I'm you now, Jack."

"If you really loved him, you'd have gone with him, Anya."

==Rumors==
* All her dates to Midwinter have ended up as Archons within a year.

* Was affiliated with the Setites for some time in the late nineties. She got over it.

* It is speculated that some if not all of the individuals she claims are her "children" are not, in fact, her own.

* Some think she may have been a Hunter childe rather than a real Brujah.

* All of her children are instructed to address [[Victoria Hunter]] as "Auntie".

* Some of her childer refer to [[Johnathan Gwynn]] as "Uncle Johnny".

* May have addressed a few Justicars publically by their first names...and gotten away with it.

* Malaphar wanted her destroyed at the 2001 Conclave for recieving more applause during presentations as her Clan representative than he did as a Justicar. Thus began her trouble with the Tremere.

* Supposedly hates women, and only tolerates them publically because she has to.

* One more than one occasion has tried to play matchmaker for [[Victoria Hunter]]. Katja just wants to see her settled down and happy.

* Texts more than a fourteen-year old girl. Her phone rarely leaves her hand.

* The murder attempt on Katja's life may have been perpetrated by the Sabbat, but it was engineered and aided by the Tremere.

* [[Paul Walker]] is the de facto leader of her League of Evil Exes.

* Took home three of the Championship belts from [[The Belt Game]] at Midwinter 2011.
** Was assisted by Archon [[Francis Merivein]] in the acquiring of said belts.

* Was propositioned by Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]] after seizing Praxis of Chicago from him. She declined his advances.

* Is infernal and an impostor claiming to be her.
** Is infernal and part of a Lilith cult.

* Is not infernal, and just has the luck of the Devil instead.
**It's because she's a devout Jew and is one of the "chosen people".

* Has a bit of a shoe fetish.

* Has a secret lover.

* The lover is a Tremere, which is why the Clan wants to kill her so badly.
** Has been seen being ''very'' close to [[Philip Walkin]] since his reemergence in Kindred society.
*** Then, of course, there's [[Jon-Apolo de Soult|this guy]].
**** That guy is a dead man if someone finds out.

* The lover is a Brujah, because she's "learned to stick with her own kind".
** And by that we mean [[Jack Sebastien|"angry pariahs"]].
*** If true, it would be her longest running relationship to date, an intriguing bit of trivia to say the least.
****Publicly confirmed at the Grand Gathering in the Bay Area in May, to a distinct lack of surprise.
*****Which made her kind of sad.

* The lover is an Archon of questionable reputation.
** Or at least, he used to be. An archon, that is. He still has a questionable rep.

* All of the above speculations are correct and she's two-timing them both.

* Has refused Archonship positions three times, with two different Justicars.

* Every last pair of her impossibly high heels have been refitted with wood, a trick she taught to [[Victoria Hunter]].

* Justicar [[Lotharius]] and his agents have taken a very personal interest in her, bordering on obsession.

* After her attack on [[Kate Davidson]] at Midwinter 2012, some heard her snarl wordlessly, others could have sworn she hissed "stay away from him". No one is certain what prompted this...or who the "him" she was referencing could be. If she even said that at all.

* Has her own Twitter account.

* For someone who supposedly hates women, she sure does seem to enjoy the company of [[Isabella Visconti]]. Maybe a little too much.

* Something in the past few months has taken her attention so much she's canceled Court repeatedly.

* Started a charity in Indonesia where poor orphan children learn valuable job skills making knock-off Christian Louboutins

* More than a few Brujah women have taken to wearing anklebreaker heels as a point of fashion when visiting her Court. She approves of this and often praises their taste in shoes.

* Was 'motorboated' by [[Mallory Jones]] at the Grand Gathering in Berkeley in May, because she "just couldn't help it, I mean, look at those things!"

* Was named as one half of the Brujah Power Couple of the Year along with [[Jack Sebastien|this guy]].
** Don't you mean 3/4's of the Brujah Power Couple of the Year? I might it's only [[Jack Sebastien|this guy]]

* Was one of the last people seen talking to [[Elias Beecher]] before he mysteriously disappeared at the Grand Elysium in Columbus, 2012. She looked deeply uncomfortable during the course of their brief conversation.
* Keeps a Tremere in her Domain that looks oddly similar to [[Philip Walkin]]

* Has admitted to "trading sexual favors for goods" in public.

=Character Information=

[[File:KatWiki.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Kat at Court, photo by Meredith Gerber]] She's been everywhere and nowhere. Always in the background, always the source of the cynicism, dry wit and scathing snark from the back of the room. When she'd gotten off the plane at O'Hare International Airport in September of 1997, she'd had a thick Russian accent, a moderate grasp of the English language, a pair of four-inch stiletto boots, a pack of cigarettes, a tattoo of six numbers on her left forearm, and jaded eyes. Only the accent and the linguistics have changed in the past thirteen years.

The woman is never seen in public without at least one man on her arm, whether it's a husband, a childer, a fellow clanmate, an Archon, a Prince...you name it. At large events and gatherings, she invariably has multiple dates...and an entourage to boot, mostly men of high standing and Camarilla position. She's left a string of dead husbands in her wake, none, she will assure you kindly, deceased by her own hand. Some of the Brujah call her "Black Widow" behind her back. And to her face.

But she can charm them, somehow; she's always got a wink and a smile, a throaty laugh and a sly sidelong look for those she calls "her boys". If she ''really'' likes you, she'll shower you with little endearments: pumpkin, sugar, honey, sweetheart, darling. She's fiercely protective and unendingly loyal to those she calls family. G-d help you if you so much as look at her childer sideways, or lay hands upon those that she loves.

It seems like she knows nearly everyone, almost everywhere. She boldly calls several Archons by their first names rather than their titles, reminding some of them not-so-subtly that she remembers when they were just little stripling things, learning at her knee or fighting by her side. At the Springfield Conclave of 2001, she'd gotten more applause than some of the Justicars when she was introduced, irritating then-Justicar Malaphar of the Tremere considerably.

She's not much like the rest of the Rabble, at least, as far as outward appearances go. Sure, she's quick-tempered, but that's pretty much where the similarity ends. She doesn't go in for pack mentality, and has dug in her heels on a number of issues that have occasionally put her at odds with her own Clan. Especially after she took Praxis of Chicago from Petronius. Now her speech is more florid and formal, her dress conservative, her smile a bit more forced, her movements deliberate, her alliances careful.

The attempt on her life seems to have changed her some. The removal of her position as Prince by the Justicariate definitely has. Time will tell if the change is for the better, or worse.

==Known History==
Was an inmate of Auschwitz prior to Embrace. A resident of Chicago since 1997. Has outlived four Kindred husbands in fifteen years. Originally a resident and one of the longest-standing Primogen of Chicago, she relocated briefly before the Siege of Chicago and resided in Champaign around the turn of the milennium under Princes [[James Jones]] and [[Philip Walkin]]. Was Archon [[Jon Sebastian]]'s constant companion for several years, the two were rarely seen apart. Fought alongside former Justicar [[Masako]] during the Sabbat siege of Chicago in 2000 and returned permanently to reside in the city shortly thereafter. Took Praxis of Chicago from Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]] in December of 2009.

Attacked by two Sabbat assassins in front of the Drake Hotel on May 28, 2011 and presumed destroyed. Reemerged in Chicago and reclaimed her Praxis from [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]] almost exactly four months later on September 24, 2011.

After her reemergence in Kindred society, she was dogged by some highly disturbing rumors, most notably that she was an infernalist impostor. On November 26, 2011 she was publically cleared of all suspicion of infernalism by Archon [[Elias Beecher]] of Justicar [[Maris Streck]]'s office and Archon [[Terminus]] of Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]]'s office, as well as passing a private inquiry by Archon [[Saul Good]] of Justicar [[Cock Robin]]'s office, and a personal inquiry by Justicar [[Jaroslav Pascek]] himself.

To sum it up: totes not infernal, y'all.

At the Midwinter gathering of 2012, she noticeably went missing from the battle with Moloch, earning more than a little spite and derision from those Brujah who claimed that she willfully ignored a Call to Arms. Her explanation that she was "fighting on a different front" was met with confusion. She also garnered a fair amount of scandal by attacking Archon [[Kate Davidson]] in front of hundreds of people, actually ripping out a huge chunk of her hair and throwing it on the ground as the Archon was walking [[Paul Walker]] into a private room for interrogation. It was later discovered to be a hairpiece.

Judicially conclaved at Midwiter 2013 and removed from her position as Prince of Chicago on January 18, 2013. She was also stripped of one of her Feared names. Details of this Conclave, and of her crimes, have not yet been revealed to the public at large, though she was seen briefly the evening after wearing [[Jack Sebastien]]'s clothes and looking pissed. She disappeared after the gathering.

==Coterie==
"Oh darling, affiliation with coteries are so ''dangerous'' these days. I try to avoid them, and if you're smart, you will too."

==Allies==
Archon [[Jon Sebastian]], (former) Archon [[Jack Sebastien]] (no relation), Archon [[Leonius Agrippa]] (deceased), Archon [[Victoria Hunter]], Archon [[Zio!]] (deceased), [[Hazzan Marwan]], [[Johnathan Gwynn]], Prince [[Zphonco Davinovich]], [[Khloe Hale]], and [[Isabella Rodriguez]], to name a scant handful. She may or may not have been involved politically or romantically with [[Sheldon Goldstein]], briefly, depending on who you talk to. Surprisingly, she even claims a longtime Tremere ally, [[Philip Walkin]], who has recently resurfaced in the Springfield area. She claims he is the only Tremere she has ever liked, and indeed, they have often been spotted together in public in recent months.

She is exceptionally fond of the Children of Haquim in general and very friendly with almost all members of that family locally, as well as a good handful nationally as well. She is often seen with at least one at her side.

==Enemies==

The Tremere, in general, seem to really, really dislike her.

Refers to [[Paul Walker]] as her "nemesis", though rumor has it that they've recently decided to hate other people.

Ex-husband [[Emery Llyandryn]] has threatened her publicly, at her own Court.

[http://anarch.owbn.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Donovan_Creave Donovan Creave] has threatened her repeatedly both in public and in private.

The assassins who attacked her in the Spring of 2011 are now dead...those who engineered it still live.

After ripping out [[Kate Davidson]]'s weave very publicly at the Midwinter gathering in January 2012, it is likely she has not earned the Archon's friendship.

[[Albert Iverson]] can't seem to stop talking shit about her to anyone with a pair of ears.

==Sire==
Unknown. Was a drive-by embrace.

==Childer==
"Biological": [[Silas Christian]], [[Oliver Freigh]], [[Mila Nothing-Llyandryn]]

Considered [[Spectre Llyandryn]] her son, and no one really attempted to dissuade her of that notion. He was disowned after joining the Sabbat.

==Broodmates==
Unknown.

==Character Inspirations==
Physically, a young Shirley Manson. In concept, I owe a lot to Edith Hahn Beer and Art Spiegelman. And Marvel's Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow.

She also garnered a fair amount of scandal by attacking Archon [[Kate Davidson]] in front of hundreds of people, actually ripping out a huge chunk of her hair and throwing it on the ground as the Archon was walking [[Paul Walker]] into a private room for interrogation. It was later discovered to be a hairpiece.

Judicially conclaved at Midwiter 2013 and removed from her position as Prince of Chicago on January 18, 2013. She was also stripped of one of her Feared names. Details of this Conclave, and of her crimes, have not yet been revealed to the public at large, though she was seen briefly the evening after wearing [[Jack Sebastien]]'s clothes and looking pissed. She disappeared after the gathering.

==Coterie==
"Oh darling, affiliation with coteries are so ''dangerous'' these days. I try to avoid them, and if you're smart, you will too."

==Allies==
Archon [[Jon Sebastian]], (former) Archon [[Jack Sebastien]] (no relation), Archon [[Leonius Agrippa]] (deceased), Archon [[Victoria Hunter]], Archon [[Zio!]] (deceased), [[Hazzan Marwan]], [[Johnathan Gwynn]], Prince [[Zphonco Davinovich]], [[Khloe Hale]], and [[Isabella Rodriguez]], to name a scant handful. She may or may not have been involved politically or romantically with [[Sheldon Goldstein]], briefly, depending on who you talk to. Surprisingly, she even claims a longtime Tremere ally, [[Philip Walkin]], who has recently resurfaced in the Springfield area. She claims he is the only Tremere she has ever liked, and indeed, they have often been spotted together in public in recent months.

She is exceptionally fond of the Children of Haquim in general and very friendly with almost all members of that family locally, as well as a good handful nationally as well. She is often seen with at least one at her side.

==Enemies==

The Tremere, in general, seem to really, really dislike her.

Refers to [[Paul Walker]] as her "nemesis", though rumor has it that they've recently decided to hate other people.

Ex-husband [[Emery Llyandryn]] has threatened her publicly, at her own Court.

[http://anarch.owbn.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Donovan_Creave Donovan Creave] has threatened her repeatedly both in public and in private.

The assassins who attacked her in the Spring of 2011 are now dead...those who engineered it still live.

After ripping out [[Kate Davidson]]'s weave very publicly at the Midwinter gathering in January 2012, it is likely she has not earned the Archon's friendship.

[[Albert Iverson]] can't seem to stop talking shit about her to anyone with a pair of ears.

==Sire==
Unknown. Was a drive-by embrace.

==Childer==
"Biological": [[Silas Christian]], [[Oliver Freigh]], [[Mila Nothing-Llyandryn]]

Considered [[Spectre Llyandryn]] her son, and no one really attempted to dissuade her of that notion. He was disowned after joining the Sabbat.

==Broodmates==
Unknown.

==Character Inspirations==
Physically, a young Shirley Manson. In concept, I owe a lot to Edith Hahn Beer and Art Spiegelman. And Marvel's Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow.

"You're certainly not the ''typical'' Brujah." - [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]]

"I want to be you when I grow up." - [[Lena!]]

[[Emery Llyandryn]]: "What? You guys have a club? Like the 7 Evil Exes from Scott Pilgrim?" 
[[Paul Walker]]: "Oh, there's a ''lot'' more than 7 of us, Emery." 

"I say the following with all appropriate respect to your station and accomplishments, but while you would be my very first choice if I were shopping for a pair of Manolo Blahniks, I don't think you would know what a demon looks like, let alone are infernal." - Archon [[Elias Beecher]]

Sabbat member: "You're the Prince of Chicago, huh? We're coming for you, girl." 
Katja: (rolls eyes) "I call that Tuesday. ''You're'' coming for me, ''they're'' coming for me, the ''Tremere'' are coming for me...when is someone ''not'' coming for me? You're going to have to try harder than that to frighten me."

"I heard your ex-husband was going to be coming to court tonight." (beat) "Oh. I should probably narrow it down and tell you which one." - [[Christopher Matthews]]

"Archon [[Jon-Apolo de Soult|de Soult]], I have warned you multiple times: This is an Elysium, not a gun show." - Katja, on a certain archon's physique.

"I'm alive, I'm here. But they took it from me. ''He'' took it from me. I'm you now, Jack."

"If you really loved him, you'd have gone with him, Anya."

* May have addressed a few Justicars publically by their first names...and gotten away with it.

* Has a secret lover.

**** That guy is a dead man if someone finds out.

* The lover is a Brujah, because she's "learned to stick with her own kind".
** And by that we mean [[Jack Sebastien|"angry pariahs"]].
*** If true, it would be her longest running relationship to date, an intriguing bit of trivia to say the least.
****Publicly confirmed at the Grand Gathering in the Bay Area in May, to a distinct lack of surprise.

* Was named as one half of the Brujah Power Couple of the Year along with [[Jack Sebastien|this guy]].
** Don't you mean 3/4's of the Brujah Power Couple of the Year? I might it's only [[Jack Sebastien|this guy]]

* Was one of the last people seen talking to [[Elias Beecher]] before he mysteriously disappeared at the Grand Elysium in Columbus, 2012. She looked deeply uncomfortable during the course of their brief conversation.
* Keeps a Tremere in her Domain that looks oddly similar to [[Philip Walkin]]

'''Alias(es): '''Affectionately nicknamed Black Widow. Last names of previous husbands: Cross, Marix, Masters, Amadei, and most recently, Llyandryn. aka simply [[Katja Nothing]]. Recent nicknames overheard include "Ramona Flowers" and "Angelina".

'''Real Name: ''' No one seems to know.

'''Apparent Age:''' early 20's

'''Concept: '''Seductress, survivor.

'''Physical description:''' Red hair, green eyes. Willowy. Very short and tiny - 4'11". Favors dark eye makeup, dark lipstick, and pants, though she will wear skirts and dresses when pressed. She tends to wear button-down shirts at her Court, shirts that seem to rapidly lose buttons on a predictable basis. Tends to stick to a black/red motif nearly all the time. Always, always, always in heels.

'''Detailed Status: '''
''Acknowledged'', ''Feared'' by Prince James Jones of Champaign, IL; ''Revered'' by Prince Devon Creed of Chicago, IL; ''Cherished'' by Jack Sebastien, Brujah Primogen of Chicago. ''' 
<h2>Character Information</h2>

[[File:KatWiki.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Kat at Court, photo by Meredith Gerber]] She's been everywhere and nowhere. Always in the background, always the source of the cynicism, dry wit and scathing snark from the back of the room. When she'd gotten off the plane at O'Hare International Airport in September of 1997, she'd had a thick Russian accent, a moderate grasp of the English language, a pair of four-inch stiletto boots, a pack of cigarettes, a tattoo of six numbers on her left forearm, and jaded eyes. Only the accent and the linguistics have changed in the past thirteen years.

The woman is never seen in public without at least one man on her arm, whether it's a husband, a childer, a fellow clanmate, an Archon, a Prince...you name it. At large events and gatherings, she invariably has multiple dates...and an entourage to boot, mostly men of high standing and Camarilla position. She's left a string of dead husbands in her wake, none, she will assure you kindly, deceased by her own hand. Some of the Brujah call her "Black Widow" behind her back. And to her face.

But she can charm them, somehow; she's always got a wink and a smile, a throaty laugh and a sly sidelong look for those she calls "her boys". If she ''really'' likes you, she'll shower you with little endearments: pumpkin, sugar, honey, sweetheart, darling. She's fiercely protective and unendingly loyal to those she calls family. G-d help you if you so much as look at her childer sideways, or lay hands upon those that she loves.

It seems like she knows nearly everyone, almost everywhere. She boldly calls several Archons by their first names rather than their titles, reminding some of them not-so-subtly that she remembers when they were just little stripling things, learning at her knee or fighting by her side. At the Springfield Conclave of 2001, she'd gotten more applause than some of the Justicars when she was introduced, irritating then-Justicar Malaphar of the Tremere considerably.

She's not much like the rest of the Rabble, at least, as far as outward appearances go. Sure, she's quick-tempered, but that's pretty much where the similarity ends. She doesn't go in for pack mentality, and has dug in her heels on a number of issues that have occasionally put her at odds with her own Clan. Especially after she took Praxis of Chicago from Petronius. Now her speech is more florid and formal, her dress conservative, her smile a bit more forced, her movements deliberate, her alliances careful.

The attempt on her life seems to have changed her some. The removal of her position as Prince by the Justicariate definitely has. Time will tell if the change is for the better, or worse.

==Known History==
Was an inmate of Auschwitz prior to Embrace. A resident of Chicago since 1997. Has outlived four Kindred husbands in fifteen years. Originally a resident and one of the longest-standing Primogen of Chicago, she relocated briefly before the Siege of Chicago and resided in Champaign around the turn of the milennium under Princes [[James Jones]] and [[Philip Walkin]]. Was Archon [[Jon Sebastian]]'s constant companion for several years, the two were rarely seen apart. Fought alongside former Justicar [[Masako]] during the Sabbat siege of Chicago in 2000 and returned permanently to reside in the city shortly thereafter. Took Praxis of Chicago from Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]] in December of 2009.

Attacked by two Sabbat assassins in front of the Drake Hotel on May 28, 2011 and presumed destroyed. Reemerged in Chicago and reclaimed her Praxis from [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]] almost exactly four months later on September 24, 2011.

After her reemergence in Kindred society, she was dogged by some highly disturbing rumors, most notably that she was an infernalist impostor. On November 26, 2011 she was publically cleared of all suspicion of infernalism by Archon [[Elias Beecher]] of Justicar [[Maris Streck]]'s office and Archon [[Terminus]] of Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]]'s office, as well as passing a private inquiry by Archon [[Saul Good]] of Justicar [[Cock Robin]]'s office, and a personal inquiry by Justicar [[Jaroslav Pascek]] himself.

To sum it up: totes not infernal, y'all.

At the Midwinter gathering of 2012, she noticeably went missing from the battle with Moloch, earning more than a little spite and derision from those Brujah who claimed that she willfully ignored a Call to Arms. Her explanation that she was "fighting on a different front" was met with confusion. She also garnered a fair amount of scandal by attacking Archon [[Kate Davidson]] in front of hundreds of people, actually ripping out a huge chunk of her hair and throwing it on the ground as the Archon was walking [[Paul Walker]] into a private room for interrogation.

<h2>Character Information</h2>

[[File:KatWiki.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Kat at Court, photo by Meredith Gerber]] She's been everywhere and nowhere. Always in the background, always the source of the cynicism, dry wit and scathing snark from the back of the room. When she'd gotten off the plane at O'Hare International Airport in September of 1997, she'd had a thick Russian accent, a moderate grasp of the English language, a pair of four-inch stiletto boots, a pack of cigarettes, a tattoo of six numbers on her left forearm, and jaded eyes. Only the accent and the linguistics have changed in the past thirteen years.

The woman is never seen in public without at least one man on her arm, whether it's a husband, a childer, a fellow clanmate, an Archon, a Prince...you name it. At large events and gatherings, she invariably has multiple dates...and an entourage to boot, mostly men of high standing and Camarilla position. She's left a string of dead husbands in her wake, none, she will assure you kindly, deceased by her own hand. Some of the Brujah call her "Black Widow" behind her back. And to her face.

But she can charm them, somehow; she's always got a wink and a smile, a throaty laugh and a sly sidelong look for those she calls "her boys". If she ''really'' likes you, she'll shower you with little endearments: pumpkin, sugar, honey, sweetheart, darling. She's fiercely protective and unendingly loyal to those she calls family. G-d help you if you so much as look at her childer sideways, or lay hands upon those that she loves.

It seems like she knows nearly everyone, almost everywhere. She boldly calls several Archons by their first names rather than their titles, reminding some of them not-so-subtly that she remembers when they were just little stripling things, learning at her knee or fighting by her side. At the Springfield Conclave of 2001, she'd gotten more applause than some of the Justicars when she was introduced, irritating then-Justicar Malaphar of the Tremere considerably.

She's not much like the rest of the Rabble, at least, as far as outward appearances go. Sure, she's quick-tempered, but that's pretty much where the similarity ends. She doesn't go in for pack mentality, and has dug in her heels on a number of issues that have occasionally put her at odds with her own Clan. Especially after she took Praxis of Chicago from Petronius. Now her speech is more florid and formal, her dress conservative, her smile a bit more forced, her movements deliberate, her alliances careful.

The attempt on her life seems to have changed her some. The removal of her position as Prince by the Justicariate definitely has. Time will tell if the change is for the better, or worse.

==Known History==
Was an inmate of Auschwitz prior to Embrace. A resident of Chicago since 1997. Has outlived four Kindred husbands in fifteen years. Originally a resident and one of the longest-standing Primogen of Chicago, she relocated briefly before the Siege of Chicago and resided in Champaign around the turn of the milennium under Princes [[James Jones]] and [[Philip Walkin]]. Was Archon [[Jon Sebastian]]'s constant companion for several years, the two were rarely seen apart. Fought alongside former Justicar [[Masako]] during the Sabbat siege of Chicago in 2000 and returned permanently to reside in the city shortly thereafter. Took Praxis of Chicago from Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]] in December of 2009.

Attacked by two Sabbat assassins in front of the Drake Hotel on May 28, 2011 and presumed destroyed. Reemerged in Chicago and reclaimed her Praxis from [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]] almost exactly four months later on September 24, 2011.

After her reemergence in Kindred society, she was dogged by some highly disturbing rumors, most notably that she was an infernalist impostor. On November 26, 2011 she was publically cleared of all suspicion of infernalism by Archon [[Elias Beecher]] of Justicar [[Maris Streck]]'s office and Archon [[Terminus]] of Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]]'s office, as well as passing a private inquiry by Archon [[Saul Good]] of Justicar [[Cock Robin]]'s office, and a personal inquiry by Justicar [[Jaroslav Pascek]] himself.

To sum it up: totes not infernal, y'all.

At the Midwinter gathering of 2012, she noticeably went missing from the battle with Moloch, earning more than a little spite and derision from those Brujah who claimed that she willfully ignored a Call to Arms. Her explanation that she was "fighting on a different front" was met with confusion. She also garnered a fair amount of scandal by attacking Archon [[Kate Davidson]] in front of hundreds of people, actually ripping out a huge chunk of her hair and throwing it on the ground as the Archon was walking [[Paul Walker]] into a private room for interrogation. It was later discovered to be a hairpiece.

Judicially conclaved at Midwiter 2013 and removed from her position as Prince of Chicago on January 18, 2013. She was also stripped of one of her Feared names. Details of this Conclave, and of her crimes, have not yet been revealed to the public at large, though she was seen briefly the evening after wearing [[Jack Sebastien]]'s clothes and looking pissed. She disappeared after the gathering.

==Coterie==
"Oh darling, affiliation with coteries are so ''dangerous'' these days. I try to avoid them, and if you're smart, you will too."

==Allies==
Archon [[Jon Sebastian]], (former) Archon [[Jack Sebastien]] (no relation), Archon [[Leonius Agrippa]] (deceased), Archon [[Victoria Hunter]], Archon [[Zio!]] (deceased), [[Hazzan Marwan]], [[Johnathan Gwynn]], Prince [[Zphonco Davinovich]], [[Khloe Hale]], and [[Isabella Rodriguez]], to name a scant handful. She may or may not have been involved politically or romantically with [[Sheldon Goldstein]], briefly, depending on who you talk to. Surprisingly, she even claims a longtime Tremere ally, [[Philip Walkin]], who has recently resurfaced in the Springfield area. She claims he is the only Tremere she has ever liked, and indeed, they have often been spotted together in public in recent months.

She is exceptionally fond of the Children of Haquim in general and very friendly with almost all members of that family locally, as well as a good handful nationally as well. She is often seen with at least one at her side.

==Enemies==

The Tremere, in general, seem to really, really dislike her.

Refers to [[Paul Walker]] as her "nemesis", though rumor has it that they've recently decided to hate other people.

Ex-husband [[Emery Llyandryn]] has threatened her publicly, at her own Court.

[http://anarch.owbn.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Donovan_Creave Donovan Creave] has threatened her repeatedly both in public and in private.

The assassins who attacked her in the Spring of 2011 are now dead...those who engineered it still live.

After ripping out [[Kate Davidson]]'s weave very publicly at the Midwinter gathering in January 2012, it is likely she has not earned the Archon's friendship.

[[Albert Iverson]] can't seem to stop talking shit about her to anyone with a pair of ears.

==Sire==
Unknown. Was a drive-by embrace.

==Childer==
"Biological": [[Silas Christian]], [[Oliver Freigh]], [[Mila Nothing-Llyandryn]]

Considered [[Spectre Llyandryn]] her son, and no one really attempted to dissuade her of that notion. He was disowned after joining the Sabbat.

==Broodmates==
Unknown.

==Character Inspirations==
Physically, a young Shirley Manson. In concept, I owe a lot to Edith Hahn Beer and Art Spiegelman. And Marvel's Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow.

==Quotes==
"Men."

"She makes an excellent projectile." ~[[Jon Sebastian]]

"[[Katja Nothing]] is my kinda lady. Headstrong, intelligent, ambitious. It's too bad the Children of Haquim are dragging her down." -[[Johnathan Gwynn]]

"You're certainly not the ''typical'' Brujah." - [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]]

"I want to be you when I grow up." - [[Lena!]]

[[Paul Walker]]: "Emery, I'm sorry things didn't work out between you and Katja. I'm planning a golf outing next week for the rest of Katja's exes. You should come along." 
[[Emery Llyandryn]]: "What? You guys have a club? Like the 7 Evil Exes from Scott Pilgrim?" 
[[Paul Walker]]: "Oh, there's a ''lot'' more than 7 of us, Emery." 

"I say the following with all appropriate respect to your station and accomplishments, but while you would be my very first choice if I were shopping for a pair of Manolo Blahniks, I don't think you would know what a demon looks like, let alone are infernal." - Archon [[Elias Beecher]]

Sabbat member: "You're the Prince of Chicago, huh? We're coming for you, girl." 
Katja: (rolls eyes) "I call that Tuesday. ''You're'' coming for me, ''they're'' coming for me, the ''Tremere'' are coming for me...when is someone ''not'' coming for me? You're going to have to try harder than that to frighten me."

"I heard your ex-husband was going to be coming to court tonight." (beat) "Oh. I should probably narrow it down and tell you which one." - [[Christopher Matthews]]

Katja, to unknown: "A whole ''flock'' of birdies have been singing to me about what you've been up to lately. A friend of mine likes to say that we're never as clever as we think we are - and you, ''darling'', are ''so'' not clever."

[[Lan Blackwood]]:"No more marriages? Don't you miss the honeymoons?" 
Katja: "Darling, you don't even know. It's ''all'' honeymoon for me, now."

Katja, to an assemblage of Princes: "Children of Haqim are always, without hesitation, welcome in my city and at my Courts, and I have told them as much and asked them to tell their brothers of it as well. Despite the injuries I have suffered in recent nights, my offer to their family still stands and will remain standing as long as I am Prince of Chicago. If you don't want them in your City or on your Court, that's your business. I will gladly recieve your refugees with open arms in my own Domain."

"Archon [[Jon-Apolo de Soult|de Soult]], I have warned you multiple times: This is an Elysium, not a gun show." - Katja, on a certain archon's physique.

Katja, on recent events out East: "You think they screwed the pooch on this one? Total understatement. Not only did they screw the pooch, they videotaped it, and posted it on YouTube with 'Yakity Sax' playing in the background."

"I'm alive, I'm here. But they took it from me. ''He'' took it from me. I'm you now, Jack."

==Rumors==
* All her dates to Midwinter have ended up as Archons within a year.

* Was affiliated with the Setites for some time in the late nineties. She got over it.

* It is speculated that some if not all of the individuals she claims are her "children" are not, in fact, her own.

* Some think she may have been a Hunter childe rather than a real Brujah.

* All of her children are instructed to address [[Victoria Hunter]] as "Auntie".

* Some of her childer refer to [[Johnathan Gwynn]] as "Uncle Johnny".

* May have addressed a few Justicars publically by their first names...and gotten away with it.

* Malaphar wanted her destroyed at the 2001 Conclave for recieving more applause during presentations as her Clan representative than he did as a Justicar. Thus began her trouble with the Tremere.

* Supposedly hates women, and only tolerates them publically because she has to.

* One more than one occasion has tried to play matchmaker for [[Victoria Hunter]]. Katja just wants to see her settled down and happy.

* Texts more than a fourteen-year old girl. Her phone rarely leaves her hand.

* The murder attempt on Katja's life may have been perpetrated by the Sabbat, but it was engineered and aided by the Tremere.

* [[Paul Walker]] is the de facto leader of her League of Evil Exes.

* Took home three of the Championship belts from [[The Belt Game]] at Midwinter 2011.
** Was assisted by Archon [[Francis Merivein]] in the acquiring of said belts.

* Was propositioned by Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]] after seizing Praxis of Chicago from him. She declined his advances.

* Is infernal and an impostor claiming to be her.
** Is infernal and part of a Lilith cult.

* Is not infernal, and just has the luck of the Devil instead.
**It's because she's a devout Jew and is one of the "chosen people".

* Has a bit of a shoe fetish.

* Has a secret lover.

* The lover is a Tremere, which is why the Clan wants to kill her so badly.
** Has been seen being ''very'' close to [[Philip Walkin]] since his reemergence in Kindred society.
*** Then, of course, there's [[Jon-Apolo de Soult|this guy]].
**** That guy is a dead man if someone finds out.

* The lover is a Brujah, because she's "learned to stick with her own kind".
** And by that we mean [[Jack Sebastien|"angry pariahs"]].
*** If true, it would be her longest running relationship to date, an intriguing bit of trivia to say the least.
****Publicly confirmed at the Grand Gathering in the Bay Area in May, to a distinct lack of surprise.
*****Which made her kind of sad.

* The lover is an Archon of questionable reputation.
** Or at least, he used to be. An archon, that is. He still has a questionable rep.

* All of the above speculations are correct and she's two-timing them both.

* Has refused Archonship positions three times, with two different Justicars.

* Every last pair of her impossibly high heels have been refitted with wood, a trick she taught to [[Victoria Hunter]].

* Justicar [[Lotharius]] and his agents have taken a very personal interest in her, bordering on obsession.

* After her attack on [[Kate Davidson]] at Midwinter 2012, some heard her snarl wordlessly, others could have sworn she hissed "stay away from him". No one is certain what prompted this...or who the "him" she was referencing could be. If she even said that at all.

* After speaking to him privately at Midwinter 2012, [[Elias Beecher]], previously thought dead in the battle the prior evening, was seen to have been talking to her very seriously, before concluding the conversation by standing on his tiptoes and kissing her on the cheek.

* Has her own Twitter account.

* For someone who supposedly hates women, she sure does seem to enjoy the company of [[Isabella Visconti]]. Maybe a little too much.

* Something in the past few months has taken her attention so much she's canceled Court repeatedly.

* Started a charity in Indonesia where poor orphan children learn valuable job skills making knock-off Christian Louboutins

* More than a few Brujah women have taken to wearing anklebreaker heels as a point of fashion when visiting her Court. She approves of this and often praises their taste in shoes.

* Was 'motorboated' by [[Mallory Jones]] at the Grand Gathering in Berkeley in May, because she "just couldn't help it, I mean, look at those things!"

* Was named as one half of the Brujah Power Couple of the Year along with [[Jack Sebastien|this guy]].
** Don't you mean 3/4's of the Brujah Power Couple of the Year? I might it's only [[Jack Sebastien|this guy]]

* Was one of the last people seen talking to [[Elias Beecher]] before he mysteriously disappeared at the Grand Elysium in Columbus, 2012. She looked deeply uncomfortable during the course of their brief conversation.
* Keeps a Tremere in her Domain that looks oddly similar to [[Philip Walkin]]

* Has admitted to "trading sexual favors for goods" in public.

"Archon [[Jon-Apolo de Soult|de Soult]], I have warned you multiple times: This is an Elysium, not a gun show." - Katja, on a certain archon's physique.

Katja, on recent events out East: "You think they screwed the pooch on this one? Total understatement. Not only did they screw the pooch, they videotaped it, and posted it on YouTube with 'Yakity Sax' playing in the background."

==Rumors==
* All her dates to Midwinter have ended up as Archons within a year.

* Was affiliated with the Setites for some time in the late nineties. She got over it.

* It is speculated that some if not all of the individuals she claims are her "children" are not, in fact, her own.

* Some think she may have been a Hunter childe rather than a real Brujah.

* All of her children are instructed to address [[Victoria Hunter]] as "Auntie".

* Some of her childer refer to [[Johnathan Gwynn]] as "Uncle Johnny".

* May have addressed a few Justicars publically by their first names...and gotten away with it.

* Malaphar wanted her destroyed at the 2001 Conclave for recieving more applause during presentations as her Clan representative than he did as a Justicar. Thus began her trouble with the Tremere.

* Supposedly hates women, and only tolerates them publically because she has to.

* One more than one occasion has tried to play matchmaker for [[Victoria Hunter]]. Katja just wants to see her settled down and happy.

* Texts more than a fourteen-year old girl. Her phone rarely leaves her hand.

* The murder attempt on Katja's life may have been perpetrated by the Sabbat, but it was engineered and aided by the Tremere.

* [[Paul Walker]] is the de facto leader of her League of Evil Exes.

* Took home three of the Championship belts from [[The Belt Game]] at Midwinter 2011.
** Was assisted by Archon [[Francis Merivein]] in the acquiring of said belts.

* Was propositioned by Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]] after seizing Praxis of Chicago from him. She declined his advances.

* Is infernal and an impostor claiming to be her.
** Is infernal and part of a Lilith cult.

* Is not infernal, and just has the luck of the Devil instead.
**It's because she's a devout Jew and is one of the "chosen people".

* Has a bit of a shoe fetish.

* Has a secret lover.

* The lover is a Tremere, which is why the Clan wants to kill her so badly.
** Has been seen being ''very'' close to [[Philip Walkin]] since his reemergence in Kindred society.
*** Then, of course, there's [[Jon-Apolo de Soult|this guy]].
**** That guy is a dead man if someone finds out.

* The lover is a Brujah, because she's "learned to stick with her own kind".
** And by that we mean [[Jack Sebastien|"angry pariahs"]].
*** If true, it would be her longest running relationship to date, an intriguing bit of trivia to say the least.
****Publicly confirmed at the Grand Gathering in the Bay Area in May, to a distinct lack of surprise.
*****Which made her kind of sad.

* The lover is an Archon of questionable reputation.
** Or at least, he used to be. An archon, that is. He still has a questionable rep.

* All of the above speculations are correct and she's two-timing them both.

* Has refused Archonship positions three times, with two different Justicars.

* Every last pair of her impossibly high heels have been refitted with wood, a trick she taught to [[Victoria Hunter]].

* Justicar [[Lotharius]] and his agents have taken a very personal interest in her, bordering on obsession.

* After her attack on [[Kate Davidson]] at Midwinter 2012, some heard her snarl wordlessly, others could have sworn she hissed "stay away from him". No one is certain what prompted this...or who the "him" she was referencing could be. If she even said that at all.

* After speaking to him privately at Midwinter 2012, [[Elias Beecher]], previously thought dead in the battle the prior evening, was seen to have been talking to her very seriously, before concluding the conversation by standing on his tiptoes and kissing her on the cheek.

* Has her own Twitter account.

* For someone who supposedly hates women, she sure does seem to enjoy the company of [[Isabella Visconti]]. Maybe a little too much.

* Something in the past few months has taken her attention so much she's canceled Court repeatedly.

* Started a charity in Indonesia where poor orphan children learn valuable job skills making knock-off Christian Louboutins

* More than a few Brujah women have taken to wearing anklebreaker heels as a point of fashion when visiting her Court. She approves of this and often praises their taste in shoes.

* Was 'motorboated' by [[Mallory Jones]] at the Grand Gathering in Berkeley in May, because she "just couldn't help it, I mean, look at those things!"

* Was named as one half of the Brujah Power Couple of the Year along with [[Jack Sebastien|this guy]].
** Don't you mean 3/4's of the Brujah Power Couple of the Year? I might it's only [[Jack Sebastien|this guy]]

* Was one of the last people seen talking to [[Elias Beecher]] before he mysteriously disappeared at the Grand Elysium in Columbus, 2012. She looked deeply uncomfortable during the course of their brief conversation.
* Keeps a Tremere in her Domain that looks oddly similar to [[Philip Walkin]]

* Has admitted to "trading sexual favors for goods" in public.

'''Alias(es): '''Affectionately nicknamed Black Widow. Last names of previous husbands: Cross, Marix, Masters, Amadei, and most recently, Llyandryn. aka simply [[Katja Nothing]]. Recent nicknames overheard include "Ramona Flowers" and "Angelina".

'''Real Name: ''' No one seems to know.

'''Apparent Age:''' early 20's

'''Concept: '''Seductress, survivor.

'''Physical description:''' Red hair, green eyes. Willowy. Very short and tiny - 4'11". Favors dark eye makeup, dark lipstick, and pants, though she will wear skirts and dresses when pressed. She tends to wear button-down shirts at her Court, shirts that seem to rapidly lose buttons on a predictable basis. Tends to stick to a black/red motif nearly all the time. Always, always, always in heels.

'''Detailed Status: '''
''Acknowledged'', ''Feared'' by Prince James Jones of Champaign, IL; ''Revered'' by Prince Devon Creed of Chicago, IL; ''Cherished'' by Jack Sebastien, Brujah Primogen of Chicago. ''' 
<h2>Character Information</h2>

[[File:KatWiki.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Kat at Court, photo by Meredith Gerber]] She's been everywhere and nowhere. Always in the background, always the source of the cynicism, dry wit and scathing snark from the back of the room. When she'd gotten off the plane at O'Hare International Airport in September of 1997, she'd had a thick Russian accent, a moderate grasp of the English language, a pair of four-inch stiletto boots, a pack of cigarettes, a tattoo of six numbers on her left forearm, and jaded eyes. Only the accent and the linguistics have changed in the past thirteen years.

The woman is never seen in public without at least one man on her arm, whether it's a husband, a childer, a fellow clanmate, an Archon, a Prince...you name it. At large events and gatherings, she invariably has multiple dates...and an entourage to boot, mostly men of high standing and Camarilla position. She's left a string of dead husbands in her wake, none, she will assure you kindly, deceased by her own hand. Some of the Brujah call her "Black Widow" behind her back. And to her face.

But she can charm them, somehow; she's always got a wink and a smile, a throaty laugh and a sly sidelong look for those she calls "her boys". If she ''really'' likes you, she'll shower you with little endearments: pumpkin, sugar, honey, sweetheart, darling. She's fiercely protective and unendingly loyal to those she calls family. G-d help you if you so much as look at her childer sideways, or lay hands upon those that she loves.

It seems like she knows nearly everyone, almost everywhere. She boldly calls several Archons by their first names rather than their titles, reminding some of them not-so-subtly that she remembers when they were just little stripling things, learning at her knee or fighting by her side. At the Springfield Conclave of 2001, she'd gotten more applause than some of the Justicars when she was introduced, irritating then-Justicar Malaphar of the Tremere considerably.

She's not much like the rest of the Rabble, at least, as far as outward appearances go. Sure, she's quick-tempered, but that's pretty much where the similarity ends. She doesn't go in for pack mentality, and has dug in her heels on a number of issues that have occasionally put her at odds with her own Clan. Especially after she took Praxis of Chicago from Petronius. Now her speech is more florid and formal, her dress conservative, her smile a bit more forced, her movements deliberate, her alliances careful.

The attempt on her life seems to have changed her some. Time will tell if the change is for the better, or worse.

==Known History==
Was an inmate of Auschwitz prior to Embrace. A resident of Chicago since 1997. Has outlived four Kindred husbands in fifteen years. Originally a resident and one of the longest-standing Primogen of Chicago, she relocated briefly before the Siege of Chicago and resided in Champaign around the turn of the milennium under Princes [[James Jones]] and [[Philip Walkin]]. Was Archon [[Jon Sebastian]]'s constant companion for several years, the two were rarely seen apart. Fought alongside former Justicar [[Masako]] during the Sabbat siege of Chicago in 2000 and returned permanently to reside in the city shortly thereafter. Took Praxis of Chicago from Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]] in December of 2009.

Attacked by two Sabbat assassins in front of the Drake Hotel on May 28, 2011 and presumed destroyed. Reemerged in Chicago and reclaimed her Praxis from [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]] almost exactly four months later on September 24, 2011.

After her reemergence in Kindred society, she was dogged by some highly disturbing rumors, most notably that she was an infernalist impostor. On November 26, 2011 she was publically cleared of all suspicion of infernalism by Archon [[Elias Beecher]] of Justicar [[Maris Streck]]'s office and Archon [[Terminus]] of Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]]'s office, as well as passing a private inquiry by Archon [[Saul Good]] of Justicar [[Cock Robin]]'s office, and a personal inquiry by Justicar [[Jaroslav Pascek]] himself.

To sum it up: totes not infernal, y'all.

At the Midwinter gathering of 2012, she noticeably went missing from the battle with Moloch, earning more than a little spite and derision from those Brujah who claimed that she willfully ignored a Call to Arms. Her explanation that she was "fighting on a different front" was met with confusion. She also garnered a fair amount of scandal by attacking Archon [[Kate Davidson]] in front of hundreds of people, actually ripping out a huge chunk of her hair and throwing it on the ground as the Archon was walking [[Paul Walker]] into a private room for interrogation. It was later discovered to be a hairpiece.

Judicially conclaved at Midwiter 2013 and removed from her position as Prince of Chicago on January 18, 2013. She was also stripped of one of her Feared names. Details of this Conclave, and of her crimes, have not yet been revealed to the public at large, though she was seen briefly the evening after wearing [[Jack Sebastien]]'s clothes and looking pissed. She disappeared after the gathering.

==Coterie==
"Oh darling, affiliation with coteries are so ''dangerous'' these days. I try to avoid them, and if you're smart, you will too."

==Allies==
Archon [[Jon Sebastian]], (former) Archon [[Jack Sebastien]] (no relation), Archon [[Leonius Agrippa]] (deceased), Archon [[Victoria Hunter]], Archon [[Zio!]] (deceased), [[Hazzan Marwan]], [[Johnathan Gwynn]], Prince [[Zphonco Davinovich]], [[Khloe Hale]], and [[Isabella Rodriguez]], to name a scant handful. She may or may not have been involved politically or romantically with [[Sheldon Goldstein]], briefly, depending on who you talk to. Surprisingly, she even claims a longtime Tremere ally, [[Philip Walkin]], who has recently resurfaced in the Springfield area. She claims he is the only Tremere she has ever liked, and indeed, they have often been spotted together in public in recent months.

She is exceptionally fond of the Children of Haquim in general and very friendly with almost all members of that family locally, as well as a good handful nationally as well. She is often seen with at least one at her side.

==Enemies==

The Tremere, in general, seem to really, really dislike her.

Refers to [[Paul Walker]] as her "nemesis", though rumor has it that they've recently decided to hate other people.

Ex-husband [[Emery Llyandryn]] has threatened her publicly, at her own Court.

[http://anarch.owbn.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Donovan_Creave Donovan Creave] has threatened her repeatedly both in public and in private.

The assassins who attacked her in the Spring of 2011 are now dead...those who engineered it still live.

After ripping out [[Kate Davidson]]'s weave very publicly at the Midwinter gathering in January 2012, it is likely she has not earned the Archon's friendship.

[[Albert Iverson]] can't seem to stop talking shit about her to anyone with a pair of ears.

==Sire==
Unknown. Was a drive-by embrace.

==Childer==
"Biological": [[Silas Christian]], [[Oliver Freigh]], [[Mila Nothing-Llyandryn]]

Considered [[Spectre Llyandryn]] her son, and no one really attempted to dissuade her of that notion. He was disowned after joining the Sabbat.

==Broodmates==
Unknown.

==Character Inspirations==
Physically, a young Shirley Manson. In concept, I owe a lot to Edith Hahn Beer and Art Spiegelman. And Marvel's Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow.

"You're certainly not the ''typical'' Brujah." - [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]]

"I want to be you when I grow up." - [[Lena!]]

[[Paul Walker]]: "Emery, I'm sorry things didn't work out between you and Katja. I'm planning a golf outing next week for the rest of Katja's exes. You should come along." 
[[Emery Llyandryn]]: "What? You guys have a club? Like the 7 Evil Exes from Scott Pilgrim?" 
[[Paul Walker]]: "Oh, there's a ''lot'' more than 7 of us, Emery." 

"I say the following with all appropriate respect to your station and accomplishments, but while you would be my very first choice if I were shopping for a pair of Manolo Blahniks, I don't think you would know what a demon looks like, let alone are infernal." - Archon [[Elias Beecher]]

Sabbat member: "You're the Prince of Chicago, huh? We're coming for you, girl." 
Katja: (rolls eyes) "I call that Tuesday. ''You're'' coming for me, ''they're'' coming for me, the ''Tremere'' are coming for me...when is someone ''not'' coming for me? You're going to have to try harder than that to frighten me."

"I heard your ex-husband was going to be coming to court tonight." (beat) "Oh. I should probably narrow it down and tell you which one." - [[Christopher Matthews]]

[[Lan Blackwood]]:"No more marriages? Don't you miss the honeymoons?" 
Katja: "Darling, you don't even know. It's ''all'' honeymoon for me, now."

Katja, to an assemblage of Princes: "Children of Haqim are always, without hesitation, welcome in my city and at my Courts, and I have told them as much and asked them to tell their brothers of it as well. Despite the injuries I have suffered in recent nights, my offer to their family still stands and will remain standing as long as I am Prince of Chicago. If you don't want them in your City or on your Court, that's your business. I will gladly recieve your refugees with open arms in my own Domain."

"Archon [[Jon-Apolo de Soult|de Soult]], I have warned you multiple times: This is an Elysium, not a gun show." - Katja, on a certain archon's physique.

The assassins who attacked her in the Spring of 2011 are now dead...those who engineered it still live.

After ripping out [[Kate Davidson]]'s weave very publicly at the Midwinter gathering in January 2012, it is likely she has not earned the Archon's friendship.

[[Albert Iverson]] can't seem to stop talking shit about her to anyone with a pair of ears.

==Sire==
Unknown. Was a drive-by embrace.

==Childer==
"Biological": [[Silas Christian]], [[Oliver Freigh]], [[Mila Nothing-Llyandryn]]

Considered [[Spectre Llyandryn]] her son, and no one really attempted to dissuade her of that notion. He was disowned after joining the Sabbat.

==Broodmates==
Unknown.

==Character Inspirations==
Physically, a young Shirley Manson. In concept, I owe a lot to Edith Hahn Beer and Art Spiegelman. And Marvel's Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow.

==Quotes==
"Men."

"She makes an excellent projectile." ~[[Jon Sebastian]]

"[[Katja Nothing]] is my kinda lady. Headstrong, intelligent, ambitious. It's too bad the Children of Haquim are dragging her down." -[[Johnathan Gwynn]]

"You're certainly not the ''typical'' Brujah." - [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]]

"I want to be you when I grow up." - [[Lena!]]

[[Paul Walker]]: "Emery, I'm sorry things didn't work out between you and Katja. I'm planning a golf outing next week for the rest of Katja's exes. You should come along." 
[[Emery Llyandryn]]: "What? You guys have a club? Like the 7 Evil Exes from Scott Pilgrim?" 
[[Paul Walker]]: "Oh, there's a ''lot'' more than 7 of us, Emery." 

"I say the following with all appropriate respect to your station and accomplishments, but while you would be my very first choice if I were shopping for a pair of Manolo Blahniks, I don't think you would know what a demon looks like, let alone are infernal." - Archon [[Elias Beecher]]

Sabbat member: "You're the Prince of Chicago, huh? We're coming for you, girl." 
Katja: (rolls eyes) "I call that Tuesday. ''You're'' coming for me, ''they're'' coming for me, the ''Tremere'' are coming for me...when is someone ''not'' coming for me? You're going to have to try harder than that to frighten me."

"I heard your ex-husband was going to be coming to court tonight." (beat) "Oh. I should probably narrow it down and tell you which one." - [[Christopher Matthews]]

Katja, to unknown: "A whole ''flock'' of birdies have been singing to me about what you've been up to lately. A friend of mine likes to say that we're never as clever as we think we are - and you, ''darling'', are ''so'' not clever."

[[Lan Blackwood]]:"No more marriages? Don't you miss the honeymoons?" 
Katja: "Darling, you don't even know. It's ''all'' honeymoon for me, now."

Katja, to an assemblage of Princes: "Children of Haqim are always, without hesitation, welcome in my city and at my Courts, and I have told them as much and asked them to tell their brothers of it as well. Despite the injuries I have suffered in recent nights, my offer to their family still stands and will remain standing as long as I am Prince of Chicago. If you don't want them in your City or on your Court, that's your business. I will gladly recieve your refugees with open arms in my own Domain."

"Archon [[Jon-Apolo de Soult|de Soult]], I have warned you multiple times: This is an Elysium, not a gun show." - Katja, on a certain archon's physique.

Katja, on recent events out East: "You think they screwed the pooch on this one? Total understatement. Not only did they screw the pooch, they videotaped it, and posted it on YouTube with 'Yakity Sax' playing in the background."

==Rumors==
* All her dates to Midwinter have ended up as Archons within a year.

* Was affiliated with the Setites for some time in the late nineties. She got over it.

* It is speculated that some if not all of the individuals she claims are her "children" are not, in fact, her own.

* Some think she may have been a Hunter childe rather than a real Brujah.

* All of her children are instructed to address [[Victoria Hunter]] as "Auntie".

* Some of her childer refer to [[Johnathan Gwynn]] as "Uncle Johnny".

* May have addressed a few Justicars publically by their first names...and gotten away with it.

* Malaphar wanted her destroyed at the 2001 Conclave for recieving more applause during presentations as her Clan representative than he did as a Justicar. Thus began her trouble with the Tremere.

* Supposedly hates women, and only tolerates them publically because she has to.

* One more than one occasion has tried to play matchmaker for [[Victoria Hunter]]. Katja just wants to see her settled down and happy.

* Texts more than a fourteen-year old girl. Her phone rarely leaves her hand.

* The murder attempt on Katja's life may have been perpetrated by the Sabbat, but it was engineered and aided by the Tremere.

* [[Paul Walker]] is the de facto leader of her League of Evil Exes.

* Is infernal and an impostor claiming to be her.

**It's because she's a devout Jew and is one of the "chosen people".

* Has a bit of a shoe fetish.

* Has a secret lover.

* The lover is a Tremere, which is why the Clan wants to kill her so badly.
** Has been seen being ''very'' close to [[Philip Walkin]] since his reemergence in Kindred society.
*** Then, of course, there's [[Jon-Apolo de Soult|this guy]].
**** That guy is a dead man if someone finds out.

* The lover is a Brujah, because she's "learned to stick with her own kind".
** And by that we mean [[Jack Sebastien|"angry pariahs"]].
*** If true, it would be her longest running relationship to date, an intriguing bit of trivia to say the least.
****Publicly confirmed at the Grand Gathering in the Bay Area in May, to a distinct lack of surprise.
*****Which made her kind of sad.

* The lover is an Archon of questionable reputation.

* Every last pair of her impossibly high heels have been refitted with wood, a trick she taught to [[Victoria Hunter]].

* Justicar [[Lotharius]] and his agents have taken a very personal interest in her, bordering on obsession.

* After her attack on [[Kate Davidson]] at Midwinter 2012, some heard her snarl wordlessly, others could have sworn she hissed "stay away from him". No one is certain what prompted this...or who the "him" she was referencing could be. If she even said that at all.

* Started a charity in Indonesia where poor orphan children learn valuable job skills making knock-off Christian Louboutins

* Was 'motorboated' by [[Mallory Jones]] at the Grand Gathering in Berkeley in May, because she "just couldn't help it, I mean, look at those things!"

* Was named as one half of the Brujah Power Couple of the Year along with [[Jack Sebastien|this guy]].
** Don't you mean 3/4's of the Brujah Power Couple of the Year? I might it's only [[Jack Sebastien|this guy]]

* Was one of the last people seen talking to [[Elias Beecher]] before he mysteriously disappeared at the Grand Elysium in Columbus, 2012. She looked deeply uncomfortable during the course of their brief conversation.
* Keeps a Tremere in her Domain that looks oddly similar to [[Philip Walkin]]

* Has admitted to "trading sexual favors for goods" in public.

<h2>Character Information</h2>

[[File:KatWiki.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Kat at Court, photo by Meredith Gerber]] She's been everywhere and nowhere. Always in the background, always the source of the cynicism, dry wit and scathing snark from the back of the room. When she'd gotten off the plane at O'Hare International Airport in September of 1997, she'd had a thick Russian accent, a moderate grasp of the English language, a pair of four-inch stiletto boots, a pack of cigarettes, a tattoo of six numbers on her left forearm, and jaded eyes. Only the accent and the linguistics have changed in the past thirteen years.

The woman is never seen in public without at least one man on her arm, whether it's a husband, a childer, a fellow clanmate, an Archon, a Prince...you name it. At large events and gatherings, she invariably has multiple dates...and an entourage to boot, mostly men of high standing and Camarilla position. She's left a string of dead husbands in her wake, none, she will assure you kindly, deceased by her own hand. Some of the Brujah call her "Black Widow" behind her back. And to her face.

But she can charm them, somehow; she's always got a wink and a smile, a throaty laugh and a sly sidelong look for those she calls "her boys". If she ''really'' likes you, she'll shower you with little endearments: pumpkin, sugar, honey, sweetheart, darling. She's fiercely protective and unendingly loyal to those she calls family. G-d help you if you so much as look at her childer sideways, or lay hands upon those that she loves.

It seems like she knows nearly everyone, almost everywhere. She boldly calls several Archons by their first names rather than their titles, reminding some of them not-so-subtly that she remembers when they were just little stripling things, learning at her knee or fighting by her side. At the Springfield Conclave of 2001, she'd gotten more applause than some of the Justicars when she was introduced, irritating then-Justicar Malaphar of the Tremere considerably.

She's not much like the rest of the Rabble, at least, as far as outward appearances go. Sure, she's quick-tempered, but that's pretty much where the similarity ends. She doesn't go in for pack mentality, and has dug in her heels on a number of issues that have occasionally put her at odds with her own Clan. Especially after she took Praxis of Chicago from Petronius. Now her speech is more florid and formal, her dress conservative, her smile a bit more forced, her movements deliberate, her alliances careful.

The attempt on her life seems to have changed her some. Time will tell if the change is for the better, or worse.

==Known History==
Was an inmate of Auschwitz prior to Embrace. A resident of Chicago since 1997. Has outlived four Kindred husbands in fifteen years. Originally a resident and one of the longest-standing Primogen of Chicago, she relocated briefly before the Siege of Chicago and resided in Champaign around the turn of the milennium under Princes [[James Jones]] and [[Philip Walkin]]. Was Archon [[Jon Sebastian]]'s constant companion for several years, the two were rarely seen apart. Fought alongside former Justicar [[Masako]] during the Sabbat siege of Chicago in 2000 and returned permanently to reside in the city shortly thereafter. Took Praxis of Chicago from Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]] in December of 2009.

Attacked by two Sabbat assassins in front of the Drake Hotel on May 28, 2011 and presumed destroyed. Reemerged in Chicago and reclaimed her Praxis from [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]] almost exactly four months later on September 24, 2011.

After her reemergence in Kindred society, she was dogged by some highly disturbing rumors, most notably that she was an infernalist impostor. On November 26, 2011 she was publically cleared of all suspicion of infernalism by Archon [[Elias Beecher]] of Justicar [[Maris Streck]]'s office and Archon [[Terminus]] of Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]]'s office, as well as passing a private inquiry by Archon [[Saul Good]] of Justicar [[Cock Robin]]'s office, and a personal inquiry by Justicar [[Jaroslav Pascek]] himself.

To sum it up: totes not infernal, y'all.

At the Midwinter gathering of 2012, she noticeably went missing from the battle with Moloch, earning more than a little spite and derision from those Brujah who claimed that she willfully ignored a Call to Arms. Her explanation that she was "fighting on a different front" was met with confusion. She also garnered a fair amount of scandal by attacking Archon [[Kate Davidson]] in front of hundreds of people, actually ripping out a huge chunk of her hair and throwing it on the ground as the Archon was walking [[Paul Walker]] into a private room for interrogation. It was later discovered to be a hairpiece.

Judicially conclaved at Midwiter 2013 and removed from her position as Prince of Chicago on January 18, 2013. She was also stripped of one of her Feared names. Details of this Conclave, and of her crimes, have not yet been revealed to the public at large. She disappeared after the gathering.

==Coterie==
"Oh darling, affiliation with coteries are so ''dangerous'' these days. I try to avoid them, and if you're smart, you will too."

==Allies==
Archon [[Jon Sebastian]], (former) Archon [[Jack Sebastien]] (no relation), Archon [[Leonius Agrippa]] (deceased), Archon [[Victoria Hunter]], Archon [[Zio!]] (deceased), [[Hazzan Marwan]], [[Johnathan Gwynn]], Prince [[Zphonco Davinovich]], [[Khloe Hale]], and [[Isabella Rodriguez]], to name a scant handful. She may or may not have been involved politically or romantically with [[Sheldon Goldstein]], briefly, depending on who you talk to. Surprisingly, she even claims a longtime Tremere ally, [[Philip Walkin]], who has recently resurfaced in the Springfield area. She claims he is the only Tremere she has ever liked, and indeed, they have often been spotted together in public in recent months.

She is exceptionally fond of the Children of Haquim in general and very friendly with almost all members of that family locally, as well as a good handful nationally as well. She is often seen with at least one at her side.

==Enemies==

The Tremere, in general, seem to really, really dislike her.

Refers to [[Paul Walker]] as her "nemesis", though rumor has it that they've recently decided to hate other people.

Ex-husband [[Emery Llyandryn]] has threatened her publicly, at her own Court.

[http://anarch.owbn.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Donovan_Creave Donovan Creave] has threatened her repeatedly both in public and in private.

The assassins who attacked her in the Spring of 2011 are now dead...those who engineered it still live.

G-d help you if you so much as look at her childer sideways, or lay hands upon those that she loves.

It seems like she knows nearly everyone, almost everywhere. She boldly calls several Archons by their first names rather than their titles, reminding some of them not-so-subtly that she remembers when they were just little stripling things, learning at her knee or fighting by her side. At the Springfield Conclave of 2001, she'd gotten more applause than some of the Justicars when she was introduced, irritating then-Justicar Malaphar of the Tremere considerably.

She's not much like the rest of the Rabble, at least, as far as outward appearances go. Sure, she's quick-tempered, but that's pretty much where the similarity ends. She doesn't go in for pack mentality, and has dug in her heels on a number of issues that have occasionally put her at odds with her own Clan. Especially after she took Praxis of Chicago from Petronius. Now her speech is more florid and formal, her dress conservative, her smile a bit more forced, her movements deliberate, her alliances careful.

The attempt on her life seems to have changed her some. Time will tell if the change is for the better, or worse.

==Known History==
Was an inmate of Auschwitz prior to Embrace. A resident of Chicago since 1997. Has outlived four Kindred husbands in fifteen years. Originally a resident and one of the longest-standing Primogen of Chicago, she relocated briefly before the Siege of Chicago and resided in Champaign around the turn of the milennium under Princes [[James Jones]] and [[Philip Walkin]]. Was Archon [[Jon Sebastian]]'s constant companion for several years, the two were rarely seen apart. Fought alongside former Justicar [[Masako]] during the Sabbat siege of Chicago in 2000 and returned permanently to reside in the city shortly thereafter. Took Praxis of Chicago from Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]] in December of 2009.

Attacked by two Sabbat assassins in front of the Drake Hotel on May 28, 2011 and presumed destroyed. Reemerged in Chicago and reclaimed her Praxis from [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]] almost exactly four months later on September 24, 2011.

After her reemergence in Kindred society, she was dogged by some highly disturbing rumors, most notably that she was an infernalist impostor. On November 26, 2011 she was publically cleared of all suspicion of infernalism by Archon [[Elias Beecher]] of Justicar [[Maris Streck]]'s office and Archon [[Terminus]] of Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]]'s office, as well as passing a private inquiry by Archon [[Saul Good]] of Justicar [[Cock Robin]]'s office, and a personal inquiry by Justicar [[Jaroslav Pascek]] himself.

To sum it up: totes not infernal, y'all.

At the Midwinter gathering of 2012, she noticeably went missing from the battle with Moloch, earning more than a little spite and derision from those Brujah who claimed that she willfully ignored a Call to Arms. Her explanation that she was "fighting on a different front" was met with confusion. She also garnered a fair amount of scandal by attacking Archon [[Kate Davidson]] in front of hundreds of people, actually ripping out a huge chunk of her hair and throwing it on the ground as the Archon was walking [[Paul Walker]] into a private room for interrogation. It was later discovered to be a hairpiece.

Judicially conclaved at Midwiter 2013 and removed from her position as Prince of Chicago on January 18, 2013. She was also stripped of one of her Feared names. Details of this Conclave, and of her crimes, have not yet been revealed to the public at large. She disappeared after the gathering.

==Coterie==
"Oh darling, affiliation with coteries are so ''dangerous'' these days. I try to avoid them, and if you're smart, you will too."

==Allies==
Archon [[Jon Sebastian]], (former) Archon [[Jack Sebastien]] (no relation), Archon [[Leonius Agrippa]] (deceased), Archon [[Victoria Hunter]], Archon [[Zio!]] (deceased), [[Hazzan Marwan]], [[Johnathan Gwynn]], Prince [[Zphonco Davinovich]], [[Khloe Hale]], and [[Isabella Rodriguez]], to name a scant handful. She may or may not have been involved politically or romantically with [[Sheldon Goldstein]], briefly, depending on who you talk to. Surprisingly, she even claims a longtime Tremere ally, [[Philip Walkin]], who has recently resurfaced in the Springfield area. She claims he is the only Tremere she has ever liked, and indeed, they have often been spotted together in public in recent months.

She is exceptionally fond of the Children of Haquim in general and very friendly with almost all members of that family locally, as well as a good handful nationally as well. She is often seen with at least one at her side.

==Enemies==

The Tremere, in general, seem to really, really dislike her.

Refers to [[Paul Walker]] as her "nemesis", though rumor has it that they've recently decided to hate other people.

Ex-husband [[Emery Llyandryn]] has threatened her publicly, at her own Court.

[http://anarch.owbn.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Donovan_Creave Donovan Creave] has threatened her repeatedly both in public and in private.

The assassins who attacked her in the Spring of 2011 are now dead...those who engineered it still live.

After ripping out [[Kate Davidson]]'s weave very publicly at the Midwinter gathering in January 2012, it is likely she has not earned the Archon's friendship.

[[Albert Iverson]] can't seem to stop talking shit about her to anyone with a pair of ears.

==Sire==
Unknown. Was a drive-by embrace.

==Childer==
"Biological": [[Silas Christian]], [[Oliver Freigh]], [[Mila Nothing-Llyandryn]]

Considered [[Spectre Llyandryn]] her son, and no one really attempted to dissuade her of that notion. He was disowned after joining the Sabbat.

==Broodmates==
Unknown.

==Character Inspirations==
Physically, a young Shirley Manson. In concept, I owe a lot to Edith Hahn Beer and Art Spiegelman. And Marvel's Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow.

"Men."

"She makes an excellent projectile." ~[[Jon Sebastian]]

"[[Katja Nothing]] is my kinda lady. Headstrong, intelligent, ambitious. It's too bad the Children of Haquim are dragging her down." -[[Johnathan Gwynn]]

"You're certainly not the ''typical'' Brujah." - [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]]

"I want to be you when I grow up." - [[Lena!]]

[[Paul Walker]]: "Emery, I'm sorry things didn't work out between you and Katja. I'm planning a golf outing next week for the rest of Katja's exes. You should come along." 
[[Emery Llyandryn]]: "What? You guys have a club? Like the 7 Evil Exes from Scott Pilgrim?" 
[[Paul Walker]]: "Oh, there's a ''lot'' more than 7 of us, Emery." 

"I say the following with all appropriate respect to your station and accomplishments, but while you would be my very first choice if I were shopping for a pair of Manolo Blahniks, I don't think you would know what a demon looks like, let alone are infernal." - Archon [[Elias Beecher]]

Sabbat member: "You're the Prince of Chicago, huh? We're coming for you, girl." 
Katja: (rolls eyes) "I call that Tuesday. ''You're'' coming for me, ''they're'' coming for me, the ''Tremere'' are coming for me...when is someone ''not'' coming for me? You're going to have to try harder than that to frighten me."

"I heard your ex-husband was going to be coming to court tonight." (beat) "Oh. I should probably narrow it down and tell you which one." - [[Christopher Matthews]]

Katja, to unknown: "A whole ''flock'' of birdies have been singing to me about what you've been up to lately. A friend of mine likes to say that we're never as clever as we think we are - and you, ''darling'', are ''so'' not clever."

[[Lan Blackwood]]:"No more marriages? Don't you miss the honeymoons?" 
Katja: "Darling, you don't even know. It's ''all'' honeymoon for me, now."

Katja, to an assemblage of Princes: "Children of Haqim are always, without hesitation, welcome in my city and at my Courts, and I have told them as much and asked them to tell their brothers of it as well. Despite the injuries I have suffered in recent nights, my offer to their family still stands and will remain standing as long as I am Prince of Chicago. If you don't want them in your City or on your Court, that's your business. I will gladly recieve your refugees with open arms in my own Domain."

"Archon [[Jon-Apolo de Soult|de Soult]], I have warned you multiple times: This is an Elysium, not a gun show." - Katja, on a certain archon's physique.

Katja, on recent events out East: "You think they screwed the pooch on this one? Total understatement. Not only did they screw the pooch, they videotaped it, and posted it on YouTube with 'Yakity Sax' playing in the background."

==Rumors==

* Some think she may have been a Hunter childe rather than a real Brujah.

* All of her children are instructed to address [[Victoria Hunter]] as "Auntie".

* Some of her childer refer to [[Johnathan Gwynn]] as "Uncle Johnny".

* May have addressed a few Justicars publically by their first names...and gotten away with it.

* Malaphar wanted her destroyed at the 2001 Conclave for recieving more applause during presentations as her Clan representative than he did as a Justicar. Thus began her trouble with the Tremere.

* Supposedly hates women, and only tolerates them publically because she has to.

* One more than one occasion has tried to play matchmaker for [[Victoria Hunter]]. Katja just wants to see her settled down and happy.

* Texts more than a fourteen-year old girl. Her phone rarely leaves her hand.

* The murder attempt on Katja's life may have been perpetrated by the Sabbat, but it was engineered and aided by the Tremere.

* [[Paul Walker]] is the de facto leader of her League of Evil Exes.

* Is infernal and an impostor claiming to be her.

**It's because she's a devout Jew and is one of the "chosen people".

* Has a bit of a shoe fetish.

* Has a secret lover.

* The lover is a Tremere, which is why the Clan wants to kill her so badly.
** Has been seen being ''very'' close to [[Philip Walkin]] since his reemergence in Kindred society.

**** That guy is a dead man if someone finds out.

* The lover is a Brujah, because she's "learned to stick with her own kind".
** And by that we mean [[Jack Sebastien|"angry pariahs"]].
*** If true, it would be her longest running relationship to date, an intriguing bit of trivia to say the least.
****Publicly confirmed at the Grand Gathering in the Bay Area in May, to a distinct lack of surprise.
*****Which made her kind of sad.

* Was named as one half of the Brujah Power Couple of the Year along with [[Jack Sebastien|this guy]].
** Don't you mean 3/4's of the Brujah Power Couple of the Year? I might it's only [[Jack Sebastien|this guy]]

* Was one of the last people seen talking to [[Elias Beecher]] before he mysteriously disappeared at the Grand Elysium in Columbus, 2012. She looked deeply uncomfortable during the course of their brief conversation.
* Keeps a Tremere in her Domain that looks oddly similar to [[Philip Walkin]]

* Has admitted to "trading sexual favors for goods" in public.

<h2>Character Information</h2>

[[File:KatWiki.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Kat at Court, photo by Meredith Gerber]] She's been everywhere and nowhere. Always in the background, always the source of the cynicism, dry wit and scathing snark from the back of the room. When she'd gotten off the plane at O'Hare International Airport in September of 1997, she'd had a thick Russian accent, a moderate grasp of the English language, a pair of four-inch stiletto boots, a pack of cigarettes, a tattoo of six numbers on her left forearm, and jaded eyes. Only the accent and the linguistics have changed in the past thirteen years.

The woman is never seen in public without at least one man on her arm, whether it's a husband, a childer, a fellow clanmate, an Archon, a Prince...you name it. At large events and gatherings, she invariably has multiple dates...and an entourage to boot, mostly men of high standing and Camarilla position. She's left a string of dead husbands in her wake, none, she will assure you kindly, deceased by her own hand. Some of the Brujah call her "Black Widow" behind her back. And to her face.

But she can charm them, somehow; she's always got a wink and a smile, a throaty laugh and a sly sidelong look for those she calls "her boys". If she ''really'' likes you, she'll shower you with little endearments: pumpkin, sugar, honey, sweetheart, darling. She's fiercely protective and unendingly loyal to those she calls family. G-d help you if you so much as look at her childer sideways, or lay hands upon those that she loves.

It seems like she knows nearly everyone, almost everywhere. She boldly calls several Archons by their first names rather than their titles, reminding some of them not-so-subtly that she remembers when they were just little stripling things, learning at her knee or fighting by her side. At the Springfield Conclave of 2001, she'd gotten more applause than some of the Justicars when she was introduced, irritating then-Justicar Malaphar of the Tremere considerably.

Especially after she took Praxis of Chicago from Petronius. Now her speech is more florid and formal, her dress conservative, her smile a bit more forced, her movements deliberate, her alliances careful.

The attempt on her life seems to have changed her some. Time will tell if the change is for the better, or worse. Don't let it fool you, though. She's still as deadly as ever.

* The lover is an Archon of questionable reputation.
** Or at least, he used to be. An archon, that is. He still has a questionable rep.

* All of the above speculations are correct and she's two-timing them both.

* Has refused Archonship positions three times, with two different Justicars.

* Every last pair of her impossibly high heels have been refitted with wood, a trick she taught to [[Victoria Hunter]].

* Justicar [[Lotharius]] and his agents have taken a very personal interest in her, bordering on obsession.

* After her attack on [[Kate Davidson]] at Midwinter 2012, some heard her snarl wordlessly, others could have sworn she hissed "stay away from him". No one is certain what prompted this...or who the "him" she was referencing could be. If she even said that at all.

* After speaking to him privately at Midwinter 2012, [[Elias Beecher]], previously thought dead in the battle the prior evening, was seen to have been talking to her very seriously, before concluding the conversation by standing on his tiptoes and kissing her on the cheek.

* Has her own Twitter account.

* For someone who supposedly hates women, she sure does seem to enjoy the company of [[Isabella Visconti]]. Maybe a little too much.

* Something in the past few months has taken her attention so much she's canceled Court repeatedly.

* Started a charity in Indonesia where poor orphan children learn valuable job skills making knock-off Christian Louboutins

* More than a few Brujah women have taken to wearing anklebreaker heels as a point of fashion when visiting her Court. She approves of this and often praises their taste in shoes.

* Was 'motorboated' by [[Mallory Jones]] at the Grand Gathering in Berkeley in May, because she "just couldn't help it, I mean, look at those things!"

* Was named as one half of the Brujah Power Couple of the Year along with [[Jack Sebastien|this guy]].

* Was one of the last people seen talking to [[Elias Beecher]] before he mysteriously disappeared at the Grand Elysium in Columbus, 2012. She looked deeply uncomfortable during the course of their brief conversation.

<h2>Character Information</h2>

[[File:KatWiki.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Kat at Court, photo by Meredith Gerber]] She's been everywhere and nowhere. Always in the background, always the source of the cynicism, dry wit and scathing snark from the back of the room. When she'd gotten off the plane at O'Hare International Airport in September of 1997, she'd had a thick Russian accent, a moderate grasp of the English language, a pair of four-inch stiletto boots, a pack of cigarettes, a tattoo of six numbers on her left forearm, and jaded eyes. Only the accent and the linguistics have changed in the past thirteen years.

The woman is never seen in public without at least one man on her arm, whether it's a husband, a childer, a fellow clanmate, an Archon, a Prince...you name it. At large events and gatherings, she invariably has multiple dates...and an entourage to boot, mostly men of high standing and Camarilla position. She's left a string of dead husbands in her wake, none, she will assure you kindly, deceased by her own hand. Some of the Brujah call her "Black Widow" behind her back. And to her face.

But she can charm them, somehow; she's always got a wink and a smile, a throaty laugh and a sly sidelong look for those she calls "her boys". If she ''really'' likes you, she'll shower you with little endearments: pumpkin, sugar, honey, sweetheart, darling. She's fiercely protective and unendingly loyal to those she calls family. G-d help you if you so much as look at her childer sideways, or lay hands upon those that she loves.

It seems like she knows nearly everyone, almost everywhere. She boldly calls several Archons by their first names rather than their titles, reminding some of them not-so-subtly that she remembers when they were just little stripling things, learning at her knee or fighting by her side. At the Springfield Conclave of 2001, she'd gotten more applause than some of the Justicars when she was introduced, irritating then-Justicar Malaphar of the Tremere considerably.

She's not much like the rest of the Rabble, at least, as far as outward appearances go. Sure, she's quick-tempered, but that's pretty much where the similarity ends. She doesn't go in for pack mentality, and has dug in her heels on a number of issues that have occasionally put her at odds with her own Clan. Especially after she took Praxis of Chicago from Petronius. Now her speech is more florid and formal, her dress conservative, her smile a bit more forced, her movements deliberate, her alliances careful.

The attempt on her life seems to have changed her some. Time will tell if the change is for the better, or worse. Don't let it fool you, though. She's still as deadly as ever.

==Known History==
Was an inmate of Auschwitz prior to Embrace. A resident of Chicago since 1997. Has outlived four Kindred husbands in fifteen years. Originally a resident and one of the longest-standing Primogen of Chicago, she relocated briefly before the Siege of Chicago and resided in Champaign around the turn of the milennium under Princes [[James Jones]] and [[Philip Walkin]]. Was Archon [[Jon Sebastian]]'s constant companion for several years, the two were rarely seen apart. Fought alongside former Justicar [[Masako]] during the Sabbat siege of Chicago in 2000 and returned permanently to reside in the city shortly thereafter. Took Praxis of Chicago from Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]] in December of 2009.

Attacked by two Sabbat assassins in front of the Drake Hotel on May 28, 2011 and presumed destroyed. Reemerged in Chicago and reclaimed her Praxis from [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]] almost exactly four months later on September 24, 2011.

After her reemergence in Kindred society, she was dogged by some highly disturbing rumors, most notably that she was an infernalist impostor. On November 26, 2011 she was publically cleared of all suspicion of infernalism by Archon [[Elias Beecher]] of Justicar [[Maris Streck]]'s office and Archon [[Terminus]] of Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]]'s office, as well as passing a private inquiry by Archon [[Saul Good]] of Justicar [[Cock Robin]]'s office, and a personal inquiry by Justicar [[Jaroslav Pascek]] himself.

To sum it up: totes not infernal, y'all.

At the Midwinter gathering of 2012, she noticeably went missing from the battle with Moloch, earning more than a little spite and derision from those Brujah who claimed that she willfully ignored a Call to Arms. Her explanation that she was "fighting on a different front" was met with confusion. She also garnered a fair amount of scandal by attacking Archon [[Kate Davidson]] in front of hundreds of people, actually ripping out a huge chunk of her hair and throwing it on the ground as the Archon was walking [[Paul Walker]] into a private room for interrogation. It was later discovered to be a hairpiece.

==Coterie==
"Oh darling, affiliation with coteries are so ''dangerous'' these days. I try to avoid them, and if you're smart, you will too."

==Allies==
Archon [[Jon Sebastian]], (former) Archon [[Jack Sebastien]] (no relation), Archon [[Leonius Agrippa]] (deceased), Archon [[Victoria Hunter]], Archon [[Zio!]] (deceased), [[Hazzan Marwan]], [[Johnathan Gwynn]], Prince [[Zphonco Davinovich]], [[Khloe Hale]], and [[Isabella Rodriguez]], to name a scant handful. She may or may not have been involved politically or romantically with [[Sheldon Goldstein]], briefly, depending on who you talk to. Surprisingly, she even claims a longtime Tremere ally, [[Philip Walkin]], who has recently resurfaced in the Springfield area. She claims he is the only Tremere she has ever liked, and indeed, they have often been spotted together in public in recent months.

She is exceptionally fond of the Children of Haquim in general and very friendly with almost all members of that family locally, as well as a good handful nationally as well. She is often seen with at least one at her side, in particular her bodyguard, an affable Child of Haquim named [[Christopher Matthews]].

[[Kurt Mehmet]], [[Artemis]], and [[Dasai]], three of her closest allies and all Children of Haquim, were discovered to have joined the Rebellion in January of 2012, along with her adopted childe [[Spectre Llyandryn]]. This discovery was a crushing betrayal that left her shaken.

==Enemies==

The Tremere, in general, seem to really, really dislike her.

Refers to [[Paul Walker]] as her "nemesis", though rumor has it that they've recently decided to hate other people.

Ex-husband [[Emery Llyandryn]] has threatened her publicly, at her own Court.

[http://anarch.owbn.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Donovan_Creave Donovan Creave] has threatened her repeatedly both in public and in private.

The assassins who attacked her in the Spring of 2011 are now dead...those who engineered it still live.

After ripping out [[Kate Davidson]]'s weave very publicly at the Midwinter gathering in January 2012, it is likely she has not earned the Archon's friendship.

[[Albert Iverson]] can't seem to stop talking shit about her to anyone with a pair of ears.

==Sire==
Unknown. Was a drive-by embrace.

==Childer==
"Biological": [[Silas Christian]], [[Oliver Freigh]], [[Mila Nothing-Llyandryn]]

Considered [[Spectre Llyandryn]] her son, and no one really attempted to dissuade her of that notion. He was disowned after joining the Sabbat.

==Broodmates==
Unknown.

==Character Inspirations==
Physically, a young Shirley Manson. In concept, I owe a lot to Edith Hahn Beer and Art Spiegelman. And Marvel's Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow.

==Quotes==
"Men."

"She makes an excellent projectile." ~[[Jon Sebastian]]

"[[Katja Nothing]] is my kinda lady. Headstrong, intelligent, ambitious. It's too bad the Children of Haquim are dragging her down." -[[Johnathan Gwynn]]

"You're certainly not the ''typical'' Brujah." - [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]]

"I want to be you when I grow up." - [[Lena!]]

[[Paul Walker]]: "Emery, I'm sorry things didn't work out between you and Katja. I'm planning a golf outing next week for the rest of Katja's exes. You should come along." 
[[Emery Llyandryn]]: "What? You guys have a club? Like the 7 Evil Exes from Scott Pilgrim?" 
[[Paul Walker]]: "Oh, there's a ''lot'' more than 7 of us, Emery." 

"I say the following with all appropriate respect to your station and accomplishments, but while you would be my very first choice if I were shopping for a pair of Manolo Blahniks, I don't think you would know what a demon looks like, let alone are infernal." - Archon [[Elias Beecher]]

Sabbat member: "You're the Prince of Chicago, huh? We're coming for you, girl." 
Katja: (rolls eyes) "I call that Tuesday. ''You're'' coming for me, ''they're'' coming for me, the ''Tremere'' are coming for me...when is someone ''not'' coming for me? You're going to have to try harder than that to frighten me."

"I heard your ex-husband was going to be coming to court tonight." (beat) "Oh. I should probably narrow it down and tell you which one." - [[Christopher Matthews]]

Katja, to unknown: "A whole ''flock'' of birdies have been singing to me about what you've been up to lately. A friend of mine likes to say that we're never as clever as we think we are - and you, ''darling'', are ''so'' not clever."

[[Lan Blackwood]]:"No more marriages? Don't you miss the honeymoons?" 
Katja: "Darling, you don't even know. It's ''all'' honeymoon for me, now."

Katja, to an assemblage of Princes: "Children of Haqim are always, without hesitation, welcome in my city and at my Courts, and I have told them as much and asked them to tell their brothers of it as well. Despite the injuries I have suffered in recent nights, my offer to their family still stands and will remain standing as long as I am Prince of Chicago. If you don't want them in your City or on your Court, that's your business. I will gladly recieve your refugees with open arms in my own Domain."

"Archon [[Jon-Apolo de Soult|de Soult]], I have warned you multiple times: This is an Elysium, not a gun show." - Katja, on a certain archon's physique.

==Rumors==
* All her dates to Midwinter have ended up as Archons within a year.

* Was affiliated with the Setites for some time in the late nineties. She got over it.

* It is speculated that some if not all of the individuals she claims are her "children" are not, in fact, her own.

* Some think she may have been a Hunter childe rather than a real Brujah.

* All of her children are instructed to address [[Victoria Hunter]] as "Auntie".

* Some of her childer refer to [[Johnathan Gwynn]] as "Uncle Johnny".

* May have addressed a few Justicars publically by their first names...and gotten away with it.

* Malaphar wanted her destroyed at the 2001 Conclave for recieving more applause during presentations as her Clan representative than he did as a Justicar. Thus began her trouble with the Tremere.

* Supposedly hates women, and only tolerates them publically because she has to.

* One more than one occasion has tried to play matchmaker for [[Victoria Hunter]]. Katja just wants to see her settled down and happy.

* Texts more than a fourteen-year old girl. Her phone rarely leaves her hand.

* The murder attempt on Katja's life may have been perpetrated by the Sabbat, but it was engineered and aided by the Tremere.

* [[Paul Walker]] is the de facto leader of her League of Evil Exes.

* Took home three of the Championship belts from [[The Belt Game]] at Midwinter 2011.
** Was assisted by Archon [[Francis Merivein]] in the acquiring of said belts.

* Was propositioned by Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]] after seizing Praxis of Chicago from him. She declined his advances.

* Is infernal and an impostor claiming to be her.
** Is infernal and part of a Lilith cult.

* Is not infernal, and just has the luck of the Devil instead.
**It's because she's a devout Jew and is one of the "chosen people".

* Has a bit of a shoe fetish.

* Has a secret lover.

* The lover is a Tremere, which is why the Clan wants to kill her so badly.
** Has been seen being ''very'' close to [[Philip Walkin]] since his reemergence in Kindred society.
*** Then, of course, there's [[Jon-Apolo de Soult|this guy]].
**** That guy is a dead man if someone finds out.

* The lover is a Brujah, because she's "learned to stick with her own kind".
** And by that we mean [[Jack Sebastien|"angry pariahs"]].
*** If true, it would be her longest running relationship to date, an intriguing bit of trivia to say the least.
****Publicly confirmed at the Grand Gathering in the Bay Area in May, to a distinct lack of surprise.
*****Which made her kind of sad.

* The lover is an Archon of questionable reputation.
** Or at least, he used to be. An archon, that is. He still has a questionable rep.

* All of the above speculations are correct and she's two-timing them both.

* Has refused Archonship positions three times, with two different Justicars.

* Every last pair of her impossibly high heels have been refitted with wood, a trick she taught to [[Victoria Hunter]].

* Justicar [[Lotharius]] and his agents have taken a very personal interest in her, bordering on obsession.

* After her attack on [[Kate Davidson]] at Midwinter 2012, some heard her snarl wordlessly, others could have sworn she hissed "stay away from him". No one is certain what prompted this...or who the "him" she was referencing could be. If she even said that at all.

* After speaking to him privately at Midwinter 2012, [[Elias Beecher]], previously thought dead in the battle the prior evening, was seen to have been talking to her very seriously, before concluding the conversation by standing on his tiptoes and kissing her on the cheek.

* Has her own Twitter account.

* For someone who supposedly hates women, she sure does seem to enjoy the company of [[Isabella Visconti]]. Maybe a little too much.

* Something in the past few months has taken her attention so much she's canceled Court repeatedly.

* Started a charity in Indonesia where poor orphan children learn valuable job skills making knock-off Christian Louboutins

* More than a few Brujah women have taken to wearing anklebreaker heels as a point of fashion when visiting her Court. She approves of this and often praises their taste in shoes.

* Was 'motorboated' by [[Mallory Jones]] at the Grand Gathering in Berkeley in May, because she "just couldn't help it, I mean, look at those things!"

* Was named as one half of the Brujah Power Couple of the Year along with [[Jack Sebastien|this guy]].
** Don't you mean 3/4's of the Brujah Power Couple of the Year? I might it's only [[Jack Sebastien|this guy]]

* Was one of the last people seen talking to [[Elias Beecher]] before he mysteriously disappeared at the Grand Elysium in Columbus, 2012. She looked deeply uncomfortable during the course of their brief conversation.

"I say the following with all appropriate respect to your station and accomplishments, but while you would be my very first choice if I were shopping for a pair of Manolo Blahniks, I don't think you would know what a demon looks like, let alone are infernal." - Archon [[Elias Beecher]]

Sabbat member: "You're the Prince of Chicago, huh? We're coming for you, girl." 
Katja: (rolls eyes) "I call that Tuesday. ''You're'' coming for me, ''they're'' coming for me, the ''Tremere'' are coming for me...when is someone ''not'' coming for me? You're going to have to try harder than that to frighten me."

"I heard your ex-husband was going to be coming to court tonight." (beat) "Oh. I should probably narrow it down and tell you which one." - [[Christopher Matthews]]

Katja, to unknown: "A whole ''flock'' of birdies have been singing to me about what you've been up to lately. A friend of mine likes to say that we're never as clever as we think we are - and you, ''darling'', are ''so'' not clever."

[[Lan Blackwood]]:"No more marriages? Don't you miss the honeymoons?" 
Katja: "Darling, you don't even know. It's ''all'' honeymoon for me, now."

Katja, to an assemblage of Princes: "Children of Haqim are always, without hesitation, welcome in my city and at my Courts, and I have told them as much and asked them to tell their brothers of it as well. Despite the injuries I have suffered in recent nights, my offer to their family still stands and will remain standing as long as I am Prince of Chicago. If you don't want them in your City or on your Court, that's your business. I will gladly recieve your refugees with open arms in my own Domain."

"Archon [[Jon-Apolo de Soult|de Soult]], I have warned you multiple times: This is an Elysium, not a gun show." - Katja, on a certain archon's physique.

* May have addressed a few Justicars publically by their first names...and gotten away with it.

* Malaphar wanted her destroyed at the 2001 Conclave for recieving more applause during presentations as her Clan representative than he did as a Justicar. Thus began her trouble with the Tremere.

<h2>Character Information</h2>

[[File:KatWiki.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Kat at Court, photo by Meredith Gerber]] She's been everywhere and nowhere. Always in the background, always the source of the cynicism, dry wit and scathing snark from the back of the room. When she'd gotten off the plane at O'Hare International Airport in September of 1997, she'd had a thick Russian accent, a moderate grasp of the English language, a pair of four-inch stiletto boots, a pack of cigarettes, a tattoo of six numbers on her left forearm, and jaded eyes. Only the accent and the linguistics have changed in the past thirteen years.

The woman is never seen in public without at least one man on her arm, whether it's a husband, a childer, a fellow clanmate, an Archon, a Prince...you name it. At large events and gatherings, she invariably has multiple dates...and an entourage to boot, mostly men of high standing and Camarilla position. She's left a string of dead husbands in her wake, none, she will assure you kindly, deceased by her own hand. Some of the Brujah call her "Black Widow" behind her back. And to her face.

But she can charm them, somehow; she's always got a wink and a smile, a throaty laugh and a sly sidelong look for those she calls "her boys". If she ''really'' likes you, she'll shower you with little endearments: pumpkin, sugar, honey, sweetheart, darling. She's fiercely protective and unendingly loyal to those she calls family. G-d help you if you so much as look at her childer sideways, or lay hands upon those that she loves.

It seems like she knows nearly everyone, almost everywhere. She boldly calls several Archons by their first names rather than their titles, reminding some of them not-so-subtly that she remembers when they were just little stripling things, learning at her knee or fighting by her side. At the Springfield Conclave of 2001, she'd gotten more applause than some of the Justicars when she was introduced, irritating then-Justicar Malaphar of the Tremere considerably.

She's not much like the rest of the Rabble, at least, as far as outward appearances go. Sure, she's quick-tempered, but that's pretty much where the similarity ends. She doesn't go in for pack mentality, and has dug in her heels on a number of issues that have occasionally put her at odds with her own Clan. Especially after she took Praxis of Chicago from Petronius. Now her speech is more florid and formal, her dress conservative, her smile a bit more forced, her movements deliberate, her alliances careful.

The attempt on her life seems to have changed her some. Time will tell if the change is for the better, or worse. Don't let it fool you, though. She's still as deadly as ever.

==Known History==
Was an inmate of Auschwitz prior to Embrace. A resident of Chicago since 1997. Has outlived four Kindred husbands in fifteen years. Originally a resident and one of the longest-standing Primogen of Chicago, she relocated briefly before the Siege of Chicago and resided in Champaign around the turn of the milennium under Princes [[James Jones]] and [[Philip Walkin]]. Was Archon [[Jon Sebastian]]'s constant companion for several years, the two were rarely seen apart. Fought alongside former Justicar [[Masako]] during the Sabbat siege of Chicago in 2000 and returned permanently to reside in the city shortly thereafter. Took Praxis of Chicago from Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]] in December of 2009.

Attacked by two Sabbat assassins in front of the Drake Hotel on May 28, 2011 and presumed destroyed. Reemerged in Chicago and reclaimed her Praxis from [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]] almost exactly four months later on September 24, 2011.

After her reemergence in Kindred society, she was dogged by some highly disturbing rumors, most notably that she was an infernalist impostor. On November 26, 2011 she was publically cleared of all suspicion of infernalism by Archon [[Elias Beecher]] of Justicar [[Maris Streck]]'s office and Archon [[Terminus]] of Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]]'s office, as well as passing a private inquiry by Archon [[Saul Good]] of Justicar [[Cock Robin]]'s office, and a personal inquiry by Justicar [[Jaroslav Pascek]] himself.

To sum it up: totes not infernal, y'all.

At the Midwinter gathering of 2012, she noticeably went missing from the battle with Moloch, earning more than a little spite and derision from those Brujah who claimed that she willfully ignored a Call to Arms. Her explanation that she was "fighting on a different front" was met with confusion. She also garnered a fair amount of scandal by attacking Archon [[Kate Davidson]] in front of hundreds of people, actually ripping out a huge chunk of her hair and throwing it on the ground as the Archon was walking [[Paul Walker]] into a private room for interrogation. It was later discovered to be a hairpiece.

==Coterie==
"Oh darling, affiliation with coteries are so ''dangerous'' these days. I try to avoid them, and if you're smart, you will too."

==Allies==
Archon [[Jon Sebastian]], (former) Archon [[Jack Sebastien]] (no relation), Archon [[Leonius Agrippa]] (deceased), Archon [[Victoria Hunter]], Archon [[Zio!]] (deceased), [[Hazzan Marwan]], [[Johnathan Gwynn]], Prince [[Zphonco Davinovich]], [[Khloe Hale]], and [[Isabella Rodriguez]], to name a scant handful. She may or may not have been involved politically or romantically with [[Sheldon Goldstein]], briefly, depending on who you talk to. Surprisingly, she even claims a longtime Tremere ally, [[Philip Walkin]], who has recently resurfaced in the Springfield area. She claims he is the only Tremere she has ever liked, and indeed, they have often been spotted together in public in recent months.

She is exceptionally fond of the Children of Haquim in general and very friendly with almost all members of that family locally, as well as a good handful nationally as well. She is often seen with at least one at her side, in particular her bodyguard, an affable Child of Haquim named [[Christopher Matthews]].

[[Kurt Mehmet]], [[Artemis]], and [[Dasai]], three of her closest allies and all Children of Haquim, were discovered to have joined the Rebellion in January of 2012, along with her adopted childe [[Spectre Llyandryn]]. This discovery was a crushing betrayal that left her shaken.

==Enemies==

The Tremere, in general, seem to really, really dislike her.

Refers to [[Paul Walker]] as her "nemesis", though rumor has it that they've recently decided to hate other people.

Ex-husband [[Emery Llyandryn]] has threatened her publicly, at her own Court.

[http://anarch.owbn.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Donovan_Creave Donovan Creave] has threatened her repeatedly both in public and in private.

The assassins who attacked her in the Spring of 2011 are now dead...those who engineered it still live.

After ripping out [[Kate Davidson]]'s weave very publicly at the Midwinter gathering in January 2012, it is likely she has not earned the Archon's friendship.

[[Albert Iverson]] can't seem to stop talking shit about her to anyone with a pair of ears.

==Sire==
Unknown. Was a drive-by embrace.

==Childer==
"Biological": [[Silas Christian]], [[Oliver Freigh]], [[Mila Nothing-Llyandryn]]

Considered [[Spectre Llyandryn]] her son, and no one really attempted to dissuade her of that notion. He was disowned after joining the Sabbat.

==Broodmates==
Unknown.

==Character Inspirations==
Physically, a young Shirley Manson. In concept, I owe a lot to Edith Hahn Beer and Art Spiegelman. And Marvel's Natasha Romanov/Black Widow.

<h2>Character Information</h2>

==Known History==

Embraced in Europe sometime in the last century, Jon-Apolo is a recent transplant to the United States. Why he was embraced into Clan Tremere is a matter of conjecture, as his physical appearance sets him apart from the majority of his clan. His congenial and affable nature further distinguishes him from his clan-mates, and makes him popular in the social circles of the Camarilla.

Jon-Apolo is known to be a rake, scoundrel and a womanizer. His often scandalous behavior, while amusing to the Camarilla at large, has made him unpopular within his own clan. Despite his clan’s disapproval (or perhaps because of it), he is often overheard chiding his clan about their aloof and secretive nature, and their lack of social graces.

In early 2011, many Kindred noticed a pronounced change come over Jon-Apolo. His normally devil-may-care attitude was replaced by a quiet, brooding melancholy. Whispers in Elysium speculate that he was deeply shaken by the death of longtime ally and friend [[Jakob Phuridae]]. Darker rumors yet hint that he was tainted by encounters with malefic spiritual entities, or that he hunts mortals for some perverse pleasure. Whatever the cause, his actions have given many Kindred cause for worry .... but not for long. Befitting his mercurial nature, Jon-Apolo overcame whatever anxiety had plagued him, and began to concentrate on assisting Prince [[Desmond "Dizzy" Lockhardt]] in the demands of running a large domain.

At the July 2011 Global Conclave held in Columbus, Ohio, Jon-Apolo, along with [[Kate Davidson]], was appointed moderator for the Conclave debate.

To the chagrin of many (including himself), Jon-Apolo was appointed Archon to His Avian Excellency, Justicar [[Cock Robin]], at the MidWinter Celebration in January 2012. Shortly thereafter, he survived an assassination attempt by an infernally resurrected [[Kaylin Winters aka Hikaru | evil bitch]].

==Quotes about Jon-Apolo==

"He is the first of a new breed of Tremere: charming, affable, politically skilled and utterly handsome. A Tremere for the new millennium, if you will.

And that is what makes him the most dangerous Tremere of all." -- his Sire

"Jon-Apolo is the only Tremere that I can stand." -- [[Paul Walker]], Brujah ''iconoclast''

"Archon Pretty-boy." -- a certain distinguished Nosferatu

"Archon de Soult, I have warned you multiple times: This is an Elysium, not a gun show." - Prince [[Katja Nothing]], in regards to certain aspects of his physique.

<h2>Character Information</h2>

[[File:KatWiki.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Kat at Court, photo by Meredith Gerber]] She's been everywhere and nowhere. Always in the background, always the source of the cynicism, dry wit and scathing snark from the back of the room. When she'd gotten off the plane at O'Hare International Airport in September of 1997, she'd had a thick Russian accent, a moderate grasp of the English language, a pair of four-inch stiletto boots, a pack of cigarettes, a tattoo of six numbers on her left forearm, and jaded eyes. Only the accent and the linguistics have changed in the past thirteen years.

The woman is never seen in public without at least one man on her arm, whether it's a husband, a childer, a fellow clanmate, an Archon, a Prince...you name it. At large events and gatherings, she invariably has multiple dates...and an entourage to boot, mostly men of high standing and Camarilla position. She's left a string of dead husbands in her wake, none, she will assure you kindly, deceased by her own hand. Some of the Brujah call her "Black Widow" behind her back. And to her face.

But she can charm them, somehow; she's always got a wink and a smile, a throaty laugh and a sly sidelong look for those she calls "her boys". If she ''really'' likes you, she'll shower you with little endearments: pumpkin, sugar, honey, sweetheart, darling. She's fiercely protective and unendingly loyal to those she calls family. G-d help you if you so much as look at her childer sideways, or lay hands upon those that she loves.

It seems like she knows nearly everyone, almost everywhere. She boldly calls several Archons by their first names rather than their titles, reminding some of them not-so-subtly that she remembers when they were just little stripling things, learning at her knee or fighting by her side. At the Springfield Conclave of 2001, she'd gotten more applause than some of the Justicars when she was introduced, irritating then-Justicar Malaphar of the Tremere considerably.

She's not much like the rest of the Rabble, at least, as far as outward appearances go. Sure, she's quick-tempered, but that's pretty much where the similarity ends. She doesn't go in for pack mentality, and has dug in her heels on a number of issues that have occasionally put her at odds with her own Clan. Especially after she took Praxis of Chicago from Petronius. Now her speech is more florid and formal, her dress conservative, her smile a bit more forced, her movements deliberate, her alliances careful.

The attempt on her life seems to have changed her some. Time will tell if the change is for the better, or worse. Don't let it fool you, though. She's still as deadly as ever.

==Known History==
Was an inmate of Auschwitz prior to Embrace. A resident of Chicago since 1997. Has outlived four Kindred husbands in fifteen years. Originally a resident and one of the longest-standing Primogen of Chicago, she relocated briefly before the Siege of Chicago and resided in Champaign around the turn of the milennium under Princes [[James Jones]] and [[Philip Walkin]]. Was Archon [[Jon Sebastian]]'s constant companion for several years, the two were rarely seen apart. Fought alongside former Justicar [[Masako]] during the Sabbat siege of Chicago in 2000 and returned permanently to reside in the city shortly thereafter. Took Praxis of Chicago from Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]] in December of 2009.

Attacked by two Sabbat assassins in front of the Drake Hotel on May 28, 2011 and presumed destroyed. Reemerged in Chicago and reclaimed her Praxis from [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]] almost exactly four months later on September 24, 2011.

After her reemergence in Kindred society, she was dogged by some highly disturbing rumors, most notably that she was an infernalist impostor. On November 26, 2011 she was publically cleared of all suspicion of infernalism by Archon [[Elias Beecher]] of Justicar [[Maris Streck]]'s office and Archon [[Terminus]] of Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]]'s office, as well as passing a private inquiry by Archon [[Saul Good]] of Justicar [[Cock Robin]]'s office, and a personal inquiry by Justicar [[Jaroslav Pascek]] himself.

To sum it up: totes not infernal, y'all.

At the Midwinter gathering of 2012, she noticeably went missing from the battle with Moloch, earning more than a little spite and derision from those Brujah who claimed that she willfully ignored a Call to Arms. Her explanation that she was "fighting on a different front" was met with confusion. She also garnered a fair amount of scandal by attacking Archon [[Kate Davidson]] in front of hundreds of people, actually ripping out a huge chunk of her hair and throwing it on the ground as the Archon was walking [[Paul Walker]] into a private room for interrogation. It was later discovered to be a hairpiece.

==Coterie==
"Oh darling, affiliation with coteries are so ''dangerous'' these days. I try to avoid them, and if you're smart, you will too."

==Allies==
Archon [[Jon Sebastian]], (former) Archon [[Jack Sebastien]] (no relation), Archon [[Leonius Agrippa]] (deceased), Archon [[Victoria Hunter]], Archon [[Zio!]] (deceased), [[Hazzan Marwan]], [[Johnathan Gwynn]], Prince [[Zphonco Davinovich]], [[Khloe Hale]], and [[Isabella Rodriguez]], to name a scant handful. She may or may not have been involved politically or romantically with [[Sheldon Goldstein]], briefly, depending on who you talk to. Surprisingly, she even claims a longtime Tremere ally, [[Philip Walkin]], who has recently resurfaced in the Springfield area. She claims he is the only Tremere she has ever liked, and indeed, they have often been spotted together in public in recent months.

She is exceptionally fond of the Children of Haquim in general and very friendly with almost all members of that family locally, as well as a good handful nationally as well. She is often seen with at least one at her side, in particular her bodyguard, an affable Child of Haquim named [[Christopher Matthews]].

[[Kurt Mehmet]], [[Artemis]], and [[Dasai]], three of her closest allies and all Children of Haquim, were discovered to have joined the Rebellion in January of 2012, along with her adopted childe [[Spectre Llyandryn]]. This discovery was a crushing betrayal that left her shaken.

==Enemies==

The Tremere, in general, seem to really, really dislike her.

Refers to [[Paul Walker]] as her "nemesis", though rumor has it that they've recently decided to hate other people.

Ex-husband [[Emery Llyandryn]] has threatened her publicly, at her own Court.

[http://anarch.owbn.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Donovan_Creave Donovan Creave] has threatened her repeatedly both in public and in private.

The assassins who attacked her in the Spring of 2011 are now dead...those who engineered it still live.

After ripping out [[Kate Davidson]]'s weave very publicly at the Midwinter gathering in January 2012, it is likely she has not earned the Archon's friendship.

[[Albert Iverson]] can't seem to stop talking shit about her to anyone with a pair of ears.

==Sire==
Unknown. Was a drive-by embrace.

==Childer==
"Biological": [[Silas Christian]], [[Oliver Freigh]], [[Mila Nothing-Llyandryn]]

Considered [[Spectre Llyandryn]] her son, and no one really attempted to dissuade her of that notion. He was disowned after joining the Sabbat.

==Broodmates==
Unknown.

==Character Inspirations==
Physically, a young Shirley Manson. In concept, I owe a lot to Edith Hahn Beer and Art Spiegelman. And Marvel's Natasha Romanov/Black Widow.

==Quotes==
"Men."

"She makes an excellent projectile." ~[[Jon Sebastian]]

"[[Katja Nothing]] is my kinda lady. Headstrong, intelligent, ambitious. It's too bad the Children of Haquim are dragging her down." -[[Johnathan Gwynn]]

"You're certainly not the ''typical'' Brujah." - [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]]

"I want to be you when I grow up." - [[Lena!]]

[[Paul Walker]]: "Emery, I'm sorry things didn't work out between you and Katja. I'm planning a golf outing next week for the rest of Katja's exes. You should come along." 
[[Emery Llyandryn]]: "What? You guys have a club? Like the 7 Evil Exes from Scott Pilgrim?" 
[[Paul Walker]]: "Oh, there's a ''lot'' more than 7 of us, Emery." 

"I say the following with all appropriate respect to your station and accomplishments, but while you would be my very first choice if I were shopping for a pair of Manolo Blahniks, I don't think you would know what a demon looks like, let alone are infernal." - Archon [[Elias Beecher]]

Sabbat member: "You're the Prince of Chicago, huh? We're coming for you, girl." 
Katja: (rolls eyes) "I call that Tuesday. ''You're'' coming for me, ''they're'' coming for me, the ''Tremere'' are coming for me...when is someone ''not'' coming for me? You're going to have to try harder than that to frighten me."

"I heard your ex-husband was going to be coming to court tonight." (beat) "Oh. I should probably narrow it down and tell you which one." - [[Christopher Matthews]]

Katja, to unknown: "A whole ''flock'' of birdies have been singing to me about what you've been up to lately. A friend of mine likes to say that we're never as clever as we think we are - and you, ''darling'', are ''so'' not clever."

[[Lan Blackwood]]:"No more marriages? Don't you miss the honeymoons?" 
Katja: "Darling, you don't even know. It's ''all'' honeymoon for me, now."

Katja, to an assemblage of Princes: "Children of Haqim are always, without hesitation, welcome in my city and at my Courts, and I have told them as much and asked them to tell their brothers of it as well. Despite the injuries I have suffered in recent nights, my offer to their family still stands and will remain standing as long as I am Prince of Chicago. If you don't want them in your City or on your Court, that's your business. I will gladly recieve your refugees with open arms in my own Domain."

"Archon [[Jon-Apolo de Soult|de Soult]], I have warned you multiple times: This is an Elysium, not a gun show." - Katja, on a certain archon's physique.

==Rumors==
* All her dates to Midwinter have ended up as Archons within a year.

* Was affiliated with the Setites for some time in the late nineties. She got over it.

* It is speculated that some if not all of the individuals she claims are her "children" are not, in fact, her own.

* Some think she may have been a Hunter childe rather than a real Brujah.

* All of her children are instructed to address [[Victoria Hunter]] as "Auntie".

* Some of her childer refer to [[Johnathan Gwynn]] as "Uncle Johnny".

* May have addressed a few Justicars publically by their first names...and gotten away with it.

* Malaphar wanted her destroyed at the 2001 Conclave for recieving more applause during presentations as her Clan representative than he did as a Justicar. Thus began her trouble with the Tremere.

* Supposedly hates women, and only tolerates them publically because she has to.

* Texts more than a fourteen-year old girl. Her phone rarely leaves her hand.

* The murder attempt on Katja's life may have been perpetrated by the Sabbat, but it was engineered and aided by the Tremere.

* [[Paul Walker]] is the de facto leader of her League of Evil Exes.

* Took home three of the Championship belts from [[The Belt Game]] at Midwinter 2011.
** Was assisted by Archon [[Francis Merivein]] in the acquiring of said belts.

* Was propositioned by Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]] after seizing Praxis of Chicago from him. She declined his advances.

* Is infernal and an impostor claiming to be her.

* Is not infernal, and just has the luck of the Devil instead.

* Has a bit of a shoe fetish.

* Has a secret lover.

* The lover is a Tremere, which is why the Clan wants to kill her so badly.
** Has been seen being ''very'' close to [[Philip Walkin]] since his reemergence in Kindred society.
*** Then, of course, there's [[Jon-Apolo de Soult|this guy]].
**** That guy is a dead man if someone finds out.

* The lover is a Brujah, because she's "learned to stick with her own kind".
** And by that we mean [[Jack Sebastien|"angry pariahs"]].
*** If true, it would be her longest running relationship to date, an intriguing bit of trivia to say the least.
****Publicly confirmed at the Grand Gathering in the Bay Area in May, to a distinct lack of surprise.

* The lover is an Archon of questionable reputation.
** Or at least, he used to be. An archon, that is. He still has a questionable rep.

* All of the above speculations are correct and she's two-timing them both.

* Has refused Archonship positions three times, with two different Justicars.

* Every last pair of her impossibly high heels have been refitted with wood, a trick she taught to [[Victoria Hunter]].

* Justicar [[Lotharius]] and his agents have taken a very personal interest in her, bordering on obsession.

* After her attack on [[Kate Davidson]] at Midwinter 2012, some heard her snarl wordlessly, others could have sworn she hissed "stay away from him". No one is certain what prompted this...or who the "him" she was referencing could be. If she even said that at all.

* After speaking to him privately at Midwinter 2012, [[Elias Beecher]], previously thought dead in the battle the prior evening, was seen to have been talking to her very seriously, before concluding the conversation by standing on his tiptoes and kissing her on the cheek.

* Has her own Twitter account.

* For someone who supposedly hates women, she sure does seem to enjoy the company of [[Isabella Visconti]]. Maybe a little too much.

* Something in the past few months has taken her attention so much she's canceled Court repeatedly.

* Started a charity in Indonesia where poor orphan children learn valuable job skills making knock-off Christian Louboutins

* More than a few Brujah women have taken to wearing anklebreaker heels as a point of fashion when visiting her Court. She approves of this and often praises their taste in shoes.

* Was 'motorboated' by [[Mallory Jones]] at the Grand Gathering in Berkeley in May, because she "just couldn't help it, I mean, look at those things!"

* Was named as one half of the Brujah Power Couple of the Year along with [[Jack Sebastien|this guy]].
** Don't you mean 3/4's of the Brujah Power Couple of the Year? I might it's only [[Jack Sebastien|this guy]]

"Men."

"She makes an excellent projectile." ~[[Jon Sebastian]]

"[[Katja Nothing]] is my kinda lady. Headstrong, intelligent, ambitious. It's too bad the Children of Haquim are dragging her down." -[[Johnathan Gwynn]]

"You're certainly not the ''typical'' Brujah." - [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]]

"I want to be you when I grow up." - [[Lena!]]

[[Paul Walker]]: "Emery, I'm sorry things didn't work out between you and Katja. I'm planning a golf outing next week for the rest of Katja's exes. You should come along." 
[[Emery Llyandryn]]: "What? You guys have a club? Like the 7 Evil Exes from Scott Pilgrim?" 
[[Paul Walker]]: "Oh, there's a ''lot'' more than 7 of us, Emery." 

"I say the following with all appropriate respect to your station and accomplishments, but while you would be my very first choice if I were shopping for a pair of Manolo Blahniks, I don't think you would know what a demon looks like, let alone are infernal." - Archon [[Elias Beecher]]

Sabbat member: "You're the Prince of Chicago, huh? We're coming for you, girl." 
Katja: (rolls eyes) "I call that Tuesday. ''You're'' coming for me, ''they're'' coming for me, the ''Tremere'' are coming for me...when is someone ''not'' coming for me? You're going to have to try harder than that to frighten me."

"I heard your ex-husband was going to be coming to court tonight." (beat) "Oh. I should probably narrow it down and tell you which one." - [[Christopher Matthews]]

Katja, to unknown: "A whole ''flock'' of birdies have been singing to me about what you've been up to lately. A friend of mine likes to say that we're never as clever as we think we are - and you, ''darling'', are ''so'' not clever."

[[Lan Blackwood]]:"No more marriages? Don't you miss the honeymoons?" 
Katja: "Darling, you don't even know. It's ''all'' honeymoon for me, now."

Katja, to an assemblage of Princes: "Children of Haqim are always, without hesitation, welcome in my city and at my Courts, and I have told them as much and asked them to tell their brothers of it as well. Despite the injuries I have suffered in recent nights, my offer to their family still stands and will remain standing as long as I am Prince of Chicago. If you don't want them in your City or on your Court, that's your business. I will gladly recieve your refugees with open arms in my own Domain."

"Archon [[Jon-Apolo DeSoult|DeSoult]], I have warned you multiple times: This is an Elysium, not a gun show." - Katja, on a certain archon's physique.

<h2>Character Information</h2>

[[File:KatWiki.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Kat at Court, photo by Meredith Gerber]] She's been everywhere and nowhere. Always in the background, always the source of the cynicism, dry wit and scathing snark from the back of the room. When she'd gotten off the plane at O'Hare International Airport in September of 1997, she'd had a thick Russian accent, a moderate grasp of the English language, a pair of four-inch stiletto boots, a pack of cigarettes, a tattoo of six numbers on her left forearm, and jaded eyes. Only the accent and the linguistics have changed in the past thirteen years.

The woman is never seen in public without at least one man on her arm, whether it's a husband, a childer, a fellow clanmate, an Archon, a Prince...you name it. At large events and gatherings, she invariably has multiple dates...and an entourage to boot, mostly men of high standing and Camarilla position. She's left a string of dead husbands in her wake, none, she will assure you kindly, deceased by her own hand. Some of the Brujah call her "Black Widow" behind her back. And to her face.

But she can charm them, somehow; she's always got a wink and a smile, a throaty laugh and a sly sidelong look for those she calls "her boys". If she ''really'' likes you, she'll shower you with little endearments: pumpkin, sugar, honey, sweetheart, darling. She's fiercely protective and unendingly loyal to those she calls family. G-d help you if you so much as look at her childer sideways, or lay hands upon those that she loves.

It seems like she knows nearly everyone, almost everywhere. She boldly calls several Archons by their first names rather than their titles, reminding some of them not-so-subtly that she remembers when they were just little stripling things, learning at her knee or fighting by her side. At the Springfield Conclave of 2001, she'd gotten more applause than some of the Justicars when she was introduced, irritating then-Justicar Malaphar of the Tremere considerably.

She's not much like the rest of the Rabble, at least, as far as outward appearances go. Sure, she's quick-tempered, but that's pretty much where the similarity ends. She doesn't go in for pack mentality, and has dug in her heels on a number of issues that have occasionally put her at odds with her own Clan. Especially after she took Praxis of Chicago from Petronius. Now her speech is more florid and formal, her dress conservative, her smile a bit more forced, her movements deliberate, her alliances careful.

The attempt on her life seems to have changed her some. Time will tell if the change is for the better, or worse. Don't let it fool you, though. She's still as deadly as ever.

==Known History==
Was an inmate of Auschwitz prior to Embrace. A resident of Chicago since 1997. Has outlived four Kindred husbands in fifteen years. Originally a resident and one of the longest-standing Primogen of Chicago, she relocated briefly before the Siege of Chicago and resided in Champaign around the turn of the milennium under Princes [[James Jones]] and [[Philip Walkin]]. Was Archon [[Jon Sebastian]]'s constant companion for several years, the two were rarely seen apart. Fought alongside former Justicar [[Masako]] during the Sabbat siege of Chicago in 2000 and returned permanently to reside in the city shortly thereafter. Took Praxis of Chicago from Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]] in December of 2009.

Attacked by two Sabbat assassins in front of the Drake Hotel on May 28, 2011 and presumed destroyed. Reemerged in Chicago and reclaimed her Praxis from [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]] almost exactly four months later on September 24, 2011.

After her reemergence in Kindred society, she was dogged by some highly disturbing rumors, most notably that she was an infernalist impostor. On November 26, 2011 she was publically cleared of all suspicion of infernalism by Archon [[Elias Beecher]] of Justicar [[Maris Streck]]'s office and Archon [[Terminus]] of Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]]'s office, as well as passing a private inquiry by Archon [[Saul Good]] of Justicar [[Cock Robin]]'s office, and a personal inquiry by Justicar [[Jaroslav Pascek]] himself.

To sum it up: totes not infernal, y'all.

At the Midwinter gathering of 2012, she noticeably went missing from the battle with Moloch, earning more than a little spite and derision from those Brujah who claimed that she willfully ignored a Call to Arms. Her explanation that she was "fighting on a different front" was met with confusion. She also garnered a fair amount of scandal by attacking Archon [[Kate Davidson]] in front of hundreds of people, actually ripping out a huge chunk of her hair and throwing it on the ground as the Archon was walking [[Paul Walker]] into a private room for interrogation. It was later discovered to be a hairpiece.

==Coterie==
"Oh darling, affiliation with coteries are so ''dangerous'' these days. I try to avoid them, and if you're smart, you will too."

==Allies==
Archon [[Jon Sebastian]], (former) Archon [[Jack Sebastien]] (no relation), Archon [[Leonius Agrippa]] (deceased), Archon [[Victoria Hunter]], Archon [[Zio!]] (deceased), [[Hazzan Marwan]], [[Johnathan Gwynn]], Prince [[Zphonco Davinovich]], [[Khloe Hale]], and [[Isabella Rodriguez]], to name a scant handful. She may or may not have been involved politically or romantically with [[Sheldon Goldstein]], briefly, depending on who you talk to. Surprisingly, she even claims a longtime Tremere ally, [[Philip Walkin]], who has recently resurfaced in the Springfield area. She claims he is the only Tremere she has ever liked, and indeed, they have often been spotted together in public in recent months.

She is exceptionally fond of the Children of Haquim in general and very friendly with almost all members of that family locally, as well as a good handful nationally as well. She is often seen with at least one at her side, in particular her bodyguard, an affable Child of Haquim named [[Christopher Matthews]].

[[Kurt Mehmet]], [[Artemis]], and [[Dasai]], three of her closest allies and all Children of Haquim, were discovered to have joined the Rebellion in January of 2012, along with her adopted childe [[Spectre Llyandryn]]. This discovery was a crushing betrayal that left her shaken.

==Enemies==

The Tremere, in general, seem to really, really dislike her.

Refers to [[Paul Walker]] as her "nemesis", though rumor has it that they've recently decided to hate other people.

Ex-husband [[Emery Llyandryn]] has threatened her publicly, at her own Court.

[http://anarch.owbn.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Donovan_Creave Donovan Creave] has threatened her repeatedly both in public and in private.

The assassins who attacked her in the Spring of 2011 are now dead...those who engineered it still live.

After ripping out [[Kate Davidson]]'s weave very publicly at the Midwinter gathering in January 2012, it is likely she has not earned the Archon's friendship.

[[Albert Iverson]] can't seem to stop talking shit about her to anyone with a pair of ears.

==Sire==
Unknown. Was a drive-by embrace.

==Childer==
"Biological": [[Silas Christian]], [[Oliver Freigh]], [[Mila Nothing-Llyandryn]]

Considered [[Spectre Llyandryn]] her son, and no one really attempted to dissuade her of that notion. He was disowned after joining the Sabbat.

==Broodmates==
Unknown.

==Character Inspirations==
Physically, a young Shirley Manson. In concept, I owe a lot to Edith Hahn Beer and Art Spiegelman. And Marvel's Natasha Romanov/Black Widow.

Archon [[Jon Sebastian]], (former) Archon [[Jack Sebastien]] (no relation), Archon [[Leonius Agrippa]] (deceased), Archon [[Victoria Hunter]], Archon [[Zio!]] (deceased), [[Hazzan Marwan]], [[Johnathan Gwynn]], Prince [[Zphonco Davinovich]], [[Khloe Hale]], and [[Isabella Rodriguez]], to name a scant handful. She may or may not have been involved politically or romantically with [[Sheldon Goldstein]], briefly, depending on who you talk to. Surprisingly, she even claims a longtime Tremere ally, [[Philip Walkin]], who has recently resurfaced in the Springfield area. She claims he is the only Tremere she has ever liked, and indeed, they have often been spotted together in public in recent months.

She is exceptionally fond of the Children of Haquim in general and very friendly with almost all members of that family locally, as well as a good handful nationally as well. She is often seen with at least one at her side, in particular her bodyguard, an affable Child of Haquim named [[Christopher Matthews]].

[[Kurt Mehmet]], [[Artemis]], and [[Dasai]], three of her closest allies and all Children of Haquim, were discovered to have joined the Rebellion in January of 2012, along with her adopted childe [[Spectre Llyandryn]]. This discovery was a crushing betrayal that left her shaken.

==Enemies==

The Tremere, in general, seem to really, really dislike her.

Refers to [[Paul Walker]] as her "nemesis", though rumor has it that they've recently decided to hate other people.

Ex-husband [[Emery Llyandryn]] has threatened her publicly, at her own Court.

[http://anarch.owbn.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Donovan_Creave Donovan Creave] has threatened her repeatedly both in public and in private.

The assassins who attacked her in the Spring of 2011 are now dead...those who engineered it still live.

After ripping out [[Kate Davidson]]'s weave very publicly at the Midwinter gathering in January 2012, it is likely she has not earned the Archon's friendship.

[[Albert Iverson]] can't seem to stop talking shit about her to anyone with a pair of ears.

==Sire==
Unknown. Was a drive-by embrace.

==Childer==
"Biological": [[Silas Christian]], [[Oliver Freigh]], [[Mila Nothing-Llyandryn]]

Considered [[Spectre Llyandryn]] her son, and no one really attempted to dissuade her of that notion. He was disowned after joining the Sabbat.

<h2>Character Information</h2>

[[File:KatWiki.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Kat at Court, photo by Meredith Gerber]] She's been everywhere and nowhere. Always in the background, always the source of the cynicism, dry wit and scathing snark from the back of the room. When she'd gotten off the plane at O'Hare International Airport in September of 1997, she'd had a thick Russian accent, a moderate grasp of the English language, a pair of four-inch stiletto boots, a pack of cigarettes, a tattoo of six numbers on her left forearm, and jaded eyes. Only the accent and the linguistics have changed in the past thirteen years.

The woman is never seen in public without at least one man on her arm, whether it's a husband, a childer, a fellow clanmate, an Archon, a Prince...you name it. At large events and gatherings, she invariably has multiple dates...and an entourage to boot, mostly men of high standing and Camarilla position. She's left a string of dead husbands in her wake, none, she will assure you kindly, deceased by her own hand. Some of the Brujah call her "Black Widow" behind her back. And to her face.

But she can charm them, somehow; she's always got a wink and a smile, a throaty laugh and a sly sidelong look for those she calls "her boys". If she ''really'' likes you, she'll shower you with little endearments: pumpkin, sugar, honey, sweetheart, darling. She's fiercely protective and unendingly loyal to those she calls family. G-d help you if you so much as look at her childer sideways, or lay hands upon those that she loves.

It seems like she knows nearly everyone, almost everywhere. She boldly calls several Archons by their first names rather than their titles, reminding some of them not-so-subtly that she remembers when they were just little stripling things, learning at her knee or fighting by her side. At the Springfield Conclave of 2001, she'd gotten more applause than some of the Justicars when she was introduced, irritating then-Justicar Malaphar of the Tremere considerably.

She's not much like the rest of the Rabble, at least, as far as outward appearances go. Sure, she's quick-tempered, but that's pretty much where the similarity ends. She doesn't go in for pack mentality, and has dug in her heels on a number of issues that have occasionally put her at odds with her own Clan. Especially after she took Praxis of Chicago from Petronius. Now her speech is more florid and formal, her dress conservative, her smile a bit more forced, her movements deliberate, her alliances careful.

The attempt on her life seems to have changed her some. Time will tell if the change is for the better, or worse. Don't let it fool you, though. She's still as deadly as ever.

==Known History==
Was an inmate of Auschwitz prior to Embrace. A resident of Chicago since 1997. Has outlived four Kindred husbands in fifteen years. Originally a resident and one of the longest-standing Primogen of Chicago, she relocated briefly before the Siege of Chicago and resided in Champaign around the turn of the milennium under Princes [[James Jones]] and [[Philip Walkin]]. Was Archon [[Jon Sebastian]]'s constant companion for several years, the two were rarely seen apart. Fought alongside former Justicar [[Masako]] during the Sabbat siege of Chicago in 2000 and returned permanently to reside in the city shortly thereafter. Took Praxis of Chicago from Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]] in December of 2009.

Attacked by two Sabbat assassins in front of the Drake Hotel on May 28, 2011 and presumed destroyed. Reemerged in Chicago and reclaimed her Praxis from [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]] almost exactly four months later on September 24, 2011.

After her reemergence in Kindred society, she was dogged by some highly disturbing rumors, most notably that she was an infernalist impostor. On November 26, 2011 she was publically cleared of all suspicion of infernalism by Archon [[Elias Beecher]] of Justicar [[Maris Streck]]'s office and Archon [[Terminus]] of Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]]'s office, as well as passing a private inquiry by Archon [[Saul Good]] of Justicar [[Cock Robin]]'s office, and a personal inquiry by Justicar [[Jaroslav Pascek]] himself.

To sum it up: totes not infernal, y'all.

At the Midwinter gathering of 2012, she noticeably went missing from the battle with Moloch, earning more than a little spite and derision from those Brujah who claimed that she willfully ignored a Call to Arms. Her explanation that she was "fighting on a different front" was met with confusion. She also garnered a fair amount of scandal by attacking Archon [[Kate Davidson]] in front of hundreds of people, actually ripping out a huge chunk of her hair and throwing it on the ground as the Archon was walking [[Paul Walker]] into a private room for interrogation. It was later discovered to be a hairpiece.

She may or may not have been involved politically or romantically with [[Sheldon Goldstein]], briefly, depending on who you talk to. Surprisingly, she even claims a longtime Tremere ally, [[Philip Walkin]], who has recently resurfaced in the Springfield area. She claims he is the only Tremere she has ever liked, and indeed, they have often been spotted together in public in recent months.

At the Springfield Conclave of 2001, she'd gotten more applause than some of the Justicars when she was introduced, irritating then-Justicar Malaphar of the Tremere considerably.

She's not much like the rest of the Rabble, at least, as far as outward appearances go. Sure, she's quick-tempered, but that's pretty much where the similarity ends. She doesn't go in for pack mentality, and has dug in her heels on a number of issues that have occasionally put her at odds with her own Clan. Especially after she took Praxis of Chicago from Petronius. Now her speech is more florid and formal, her dress conservative, her smile a bit more forced, her movements deliberate, her alliances careful.

The attempt on her life seems to have changed her some. Time will tell if the change is for the better, or worse. Don't let it fool you, though. She's still as deadly as ever.

==Known History==
Was an inmate of Auschwitz prior to Embrace. A resident of Chicago since 1997. Has outlived four Kindred husbands in fifteen years. Originally a resident and one of the longest-standing Primogen of Chicago, she relocated briefly before the Siege of Chicago and resided in Champaign around the turn of the milennium under Princes [[James Jones]] and [[Philip Walkin]]. Was Archon [[Jon Sebastian]]'s constant companion for several years, the two were rarely seen apart. Fought alongside former Justicar [[Masako]] during the Sabbat siege of Chicago in 2000 and returned permanently to reside in the city shortly thereafter. Took Praxis of Chicago from Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]] in December of 2009.

Attacked by two Sabbat assassins in front of the Drake Hotel on May 28, 2011 and presumed destroyed. Reemerged in Chicago and reclaimed her Praxis from [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]] almost exactly four months later on September 24, 2011.

After her reemergence in Kindred society, she was dogged by some highly disturbing rumors, most notably that she was an infernalist impostor. On November 26, 2011 she was publically cleared of all suspicion of infernalism by Archon [[Elias Beecher]] of Justicar [[Maris Streck]]'s office and Archon [[Terminus]] of Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]]'s office, as well as passing a private inquiry by Archon [[Saul Good]] of Justicar [[Cock Robin]]'s office, and a personal inquiry by Justicar [[Jaroslav Pascek]] himself.

To sum it up: totes not infernal, y'all.

At the Midwinter gathering of 2012, she noticeably went missing from the battle with Moloch, earning more than a little spite and derision from those Brujah who claimed that she willfully ignored a Call to Arms. Her explanation that she was "fighting on a different front" was met with confusion. She also garnered a fair amount of scandal by attacking Archon [[Kate Davidson]] in front of hundreds of people, actually ripping out a huge chunk of her hair and throwing it on the ground as the Archon was walking [[Paul Walker]] into a private room for interrogation. It was later discovered to be a hairpiece.

==Coterie==
"Oh darling, affiliation with coteries are so ''dangerous'' these days. I try to avoid them, and if you're smart, you will too."

==Allies==
Archon [[Jon Sebastian]], (former) Archon [[Jack Sebastien]] (no relation), Archon [[Leonius Agrippa]] (deceased), Archon [[Victoria Hunter]], Archon [[Zio!]] (deceased), [[Hazzan Marwan]], [[Johnathan Gwynn]], Prince [[Zphonco Davinovich]], [[Khloe Hale]], and [[Isabella Rodriguez]], to name a scant handful. She may or may not have been involved politically or romantically with [[Sheldon Goldstein]], briefly, depending on who you talk to. Surprisingly, she even claims a longtime Tremere ally, [[Philip Walkin]], who has recently resurfaced in the Springfield area. She claims he is the only Tremere she has ever liked, and indeed, they have often been spotted together in public in recent months.

She is exceptionally fond of the Children of Haquim in general and very friendly with almost all members of that family locally, as well as a good handful nationally as well. She is often seen with at least one at her side, in particular her bodyguard, an affable Child of Haquim named [[Christopher Matthews]].

[[Kurt Mehmet]], [[Artemis]], and [[Dasai]], three of her closest allies and all Children of Haquim, were discovered to have joined the Rebellion in January of 2012, along with her adopted childe [[Spectre Llyandryn]]. This discovery was a crushing betrayal that left her shaken.

==Enemies==

The Tremere, in general, seem to really, really dislike her.

Refers to [[Paul Walker]] as her "nemesis", though rumor has it that they've recently decided to hate other people.

Ex-husband [[Emery Llyandryn]] has threatened her publicly, at her own Court.

[http://anarch.owbn.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Donovan_Creave Donovan Creave] has threatened her repeatedly both in public and in private.

The assassins who attacked her in the Spring, and those who engineered it, still live.

After ripping out [[Kate Davidson]]'s weave very publicly at the Midwinter gathering in January 2012, it is likely she has not earned the Archon's friendship.

[[Albert Iverson]] can't seem to stop talking shit about her to anyone with a pair of ears.

==Sire==
Unknown. Was a drive-by embrace.

==Childer==
"Biological": [[Silas Christian]], [[Oliver Freigh]], [[Mila Nothing-Llyandryn]]

Considered [[Spectre Llyandryn]] her son, and no one really attempted to dissuade her of that notion. He was disowned after joining the Sabbat.

==Broodmates==
Unknown.

==Character Inspirations==
Physically, a young Shirley Manson. In concept, I owe a lot to Edith Hahn Beer and Art Spiegelman.

Always, always, always in heels.

<h2>Character Information</h2>

[[File:KatWiki.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Kat at Court, photo by Meredith Gerber]] She's been everywhere and nowhere. Always in the background, always the source of the cynicism, dry wit and scathing snark from the back of the room. When she'd gotten off the plane at O'Hare International Airport in September of 1997, she'd had a thick Russian accent, a moderate grasp of the English language, a pair of four-inch stiletto boots, a pack of cigarettes, a tattoo of six numbers on her left forearm, and jaded eyes. Only the accent and the linguistics have changed in the past thirteen years.

The woman is never seen in public without at least one man on her arm, whether it's a husband, a childer, a fellow clanmate, an Archon, a Prince...you name it. At large events and gatherings, she invariably has multiple dates...and an entourage to boot, mostly men of high standing and Camarilla position. She's left a string of dead husbands in her wake, none, she will assure you kindly, deceased by her own hand. Some of the Brujah call her "Black Widow" behind her back. And to her face.

But she can charm them, somehow; she's always got a wink and a smile, a throaty laugh and a sly sidelong look for those she calls "her boys". If she ''really'' likes you, she'll shower you with little endearments: pumpkin, sugar, honey, sweetheart, darling. She's fiercely protective and unendingly loyal to those she calls family. G-d help you if you so much as look at her childer sideways, or lay hands upon those that she loves.

It seems like she knows nearly everyone, almost everywhere. She boldly calls several Archons by their first names rather than their titles, reminding some of them not-so-subtly that she remembers when they were just little stripling things, learning at her knee or fighting by her side. At the Springfield Conclave of 2001, she'd gotten more applause than some of the Justicars when she was introduced, irritating then-Justicar Malaphar of the Tremere considerably.

She's not much like the rest of the Rabble, at least, as far as outward appearances go. Sure, she's quick-tempered, but that's pretty much where the similarity ends. She doesn't go in for pack mentality, and has dug in her heels on a number of issues that have occasionally put her at odds with her own Clan. Especially after she took Praxis of Chicago from Petronius. Now her speech is more florid and formal, her dress conservative, her smile a bit more forced, her movements deliberate, her alliances careful.

The attempt on her life seems to have changed her some. Time will tell if the change is for the better, or worse. Don't let it fool you, though. She's still as deadly as ever.

<h2>Character Information</h2>

[[File:KatWiki.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Kat at Court, photo by Meredith Gerber]] She's been everywhere and nowhere. Always in the background, always the source of the cynicism, dry wit and scathing snark from the back of the room. When she'd gotten off the plane at O'Hare International Airport in September of 1997, she'd had a thick Russian accent, a moderate grasp of the English language, a pair of four-inch stiletto boots, a pack of cigarettes, a tattoo of six numbers on her left forearm, and jaded eyes. Only the accent and the linguistics have changed in the past thirteen years.

The woman is never seen in public without at least one man on her arm, whether it's a husband, a childer, a fellow clanmate, an Archon, a Prince...you name it. At large events and gatherings, she invariably has multiple dates...and an entourage to boot, mostly men of high standing and Camarilla position. She's left a string of dead husbands in her wake, none, she will assure you kindly, deceased by her own hand. Some of the Brujah call her "Black Widow" behind her back. And to her face.

But she can charm them, somehow; she's always got a wink and a smile, a throaty laugh and a sly sidelong look for those she calls "her boys". If she ''really'' likes you, she'll shower you with little endearments: pumpkin, sugar, honey, sweetheart, darling. She's fiercely protective and unendingly loyal to those she calls family. G-d help you if you so much as look at her childer sideways, or lay hands upon those that she loves.

It seems like she knows nearly everyone, almost everywhere. She boldly calls several Archons by their first names rather than their titles, reminding some of them not-so-subtly that she remembers when they were just little stripling things, learning at her knee or fighting by her side. At the Springfield Conclave of 2001, she'd gotten more applause than some of the Justicars when she was introduced, irritating then-Justicar Malaphar of the Tremere considerably.

She's not much like the rest of the Rabble, at least, as far as outward appearances go. Sure, she's quick-tempered, but that's pretty much where the similarity ends. She doesn't go in for pack mentality, and has dug in her heels on a number of issues that have occasionally put her at odds with her own Clan. Especially after she took Praxis of Chicago from Petronius. Now her speech is more florid and formal, her dress conservative, her smile a bit more forced, her movements deliberate, her alliances careful.

The attempt on her life seems to have changed her some. Time will tell if the change is for the better, or worse. Don't let it fool you, though. She's still as deadly as ever.

==Known History==
Was an inmate of Auschwitz prior to Embrace. A resident of Chicago since 1997. Has outlived four Kindred husbands in fifteen years. Originally a resident and one of the longest-standing Primogen of Chicago, she relocated briefly before the Siege of Chicago and resided in Champaign around the turn of the milennium under Princes [[James Jones]] and [[Philip Walkin]]. Was Archon [[Jon Sebastian]]'s constant companion for several years, the two were rarely seen apart. Fought alongside former Justicar [[Masako]] during the Sabbat siege of Chicago in 2000 and returned permanently to reside in the city shortly thereafter. Took Praxis of Chicago from Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]] in December of 2009.

Attacked by two Sabbat assassins in front of the Drake Hotel on May 28, 2011 and presumed destroyed. Reemerged in Chicago and reclaimed her Praxis from [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]] almost exactly four months later on September 24, 2011.

After her reemergence in Kindred society, she was dogged by some highly disturbing rumors, most notably that she was an infernalist impostor. On November 26, 2011 she was publically cleared of all suspicion of infernalism by Archon [[Elias Beecher]] of Justicar [[Maris Streck]]'s office and Archon [[Terminus]] of Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]]'s office, as well as passing a private inquiry by Archon [[Saul Good]] of Justicar [[Cock Robin]]'s office, and a personal inquiry by Justicar [[Jaroslav Pascek]] himself.

To sum it up: totes not infernal, y'all.

At the Midwinter gathering of 2012, she noticeably went missing from the battle with Moloch, earning more than a little spite and derision from those Brujah who claimed that she willfully ignored a Call to Arms. Her explanation that she was "fighting on a different front" was met with confusion. She also garnered a fair amount of scandal by attacking Archon [[Kate Davidson]] in front of hundreds of people, actually ripping out a huge chunk of her hair and throwing it on the ground as the Archon was walking [[Paul Walker]] into a private room for interrogation. It was later discovered to be a hairpiece.

==Coterie==
"Oh darling, affiliation with coteries are so ''dangerous'' these days. I try to avoid them, and if you're smart, you will too."

==Allies==
Archon [[Jon Sebastian]], (former) Archon [[Jack Sebastien]] (no relation), Archon [[Leonius Agrippa]], Archon [[Victoria Hunter]], Archon [[Zio!]] (deceased), [[Hazzan Marwan]], [[Johnathan Gwynn]], Prince [[Zphonco Davinovich]], [[Khloe Hale]], and [[Isabella Rodriguez]], to name a scant handful. She may or may not have been involved politically or romantically with [[Sheldon Goldstein]], briefly, depending on who you talk to. Surprisingly, she even claims a longtime Tremere ally, [[Philip Walkin]], who has recently resurfaced in the Springfield area. She claims he is the only Tremere she has ever liked, and indeed, they have often been spotted together in public in recent months.

She is exceptionally fond of the Children of Haquim in general and very friendly with almost all members of that family locally, as well as a good handful nationally as well. She is often seen with at least one at her side, in particular her bodyguard, an affable Child of Haquim named [[Christopher Matthews]].

[[Kurt Mehmet]], [[Artemis]], and [[Dasai]], three of her closest allies and all Children of Haquim, were discovered to have joined the Rebellion in January of 2012, along with her adopted childe [[Spectre Llyandryn]]. This discovery was a crushing betrayal that left her shaken.

==Enemies==

The Tremere, in general, seem to really, really dislike her.

Refers to [[Paul Walker]] as her "nemesis", though rumor has it that they've recently decided to hate other people.

Ex-husband [[Emery Llyandryn]] has threatened her publicly, at her own Court.

[http://anarch.owbn.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Donovan_Creave Donovan Creave] has threatened her repeatedly both in public and in private.

The assassins who attacked her in the Spring, and those who engineered it, still live.

After ripping out [[Kate Davidson]]'s weave very publicly at the Midwinter gathering in January 2012, it is likely she has not earned the Archon's friendship.

==Sire==
Unknown. Was a drive-by embrace.

==Childer==
"Biological": [[Silas Christian]], [[Oliver Freigh]], [[Mila Nothing-Llyandryn]]

Considered [[Spectre Llyandryn]] her son, and no one really attempted to dissuade her of that notion. He was disowned after joining the Sabbat.

==Broodmates==
Unknown.

==Character Inspirations==
Physically, a young Shirley Manson. In concept, I owe a lot to Edith Hahn Beer and Art Spiegelman.

Katja: "Darling, you don't even know. It's ''all'' honeymoon for me, now."

Katja, to an assemblage of Princes: "Children of Haqim are always, without hesitation, welcome in my city and at my Courts, and I have told them as much and asked them to tell their brothers of it as well. Despite the injuries I have suffered in recent nights, my offer to their family still stands and will remain standing as long as I am Prince of Chicago. If you don't want them in your City or on your Court, that's your business. I will gladly recieve your refugees with open arms in my own Domain."

==Rumors==
* All her dates to Midwinter have ended up as Archons within a year.

* Was affiliated with the Setites for some time in the late nineties. She got over it.

* It is speculated that some if not all of the individuals she claims are her "children" are not, in fact, her own.

* Some think she may have been a Hunter childe rather than a real Brujah.

* All of her children are instructed to address [[Victoria Hunter]] as "Auntie".

* Some of her childer refer to [[Johnathan Gwynn]] as "Uncle Johnny".

* May have addressed a few Justicars publically by their first names...and gotten away with it.

* Malaphar wanted her destroyed at the 2001 Conclave for recieving more applause during presentations as her Clan representative than he did as a Justicar. Thus began her trouble with the Tremere.

* Supposedly hates women, and only tolerates them publically because she has to.

* Texts more than a fourteen-year old girl. Her phone rarely leaves her hand.

* The murder attempt on Katja's life may have been perpetrated by the Sabbat, but it was engineered and aided by the Tremere.

* [[Paul Walker]] is the de facto leader of her League of Evil Exes.

* Took home three of the Championship belts from [[The Belt Game]] at Midwinter 2011.
** Was assisted by Archon [[Francis Merivein]] in the acquiring of said belts.

* Was propositioned by Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]] after seizing Praxis of Chicago from him. She declined his advances.

* Is infernal and an impostor claiming to be her.

* Is not infernal, and just has the luck of the Devil instead.

* Has a bit of a shoe fetish.

* Has a secret lover.

* The lover is a Tremere, which is why the Clan wants to kill her so badly.
** Has been seen being ''very'' close to [[Philip Walkin]] since his reemergence in Kindred society.
*** Then, of course, there's [[Jon-Apolo de Soult|this guy]].
**** That guy is a dead man if someone finds out.

* The lover is a Brujah, because she's "learned to stick with her own kind".
** And by that we mean [[Jack Sebastien|"angry pariahs"]].
*** If true, it would be her longest running relationship to date, an intriguing bit of trivia to say the least.
****Publicly confirmed at the Grand Gathering in the Bay Area in May, to a distinct lack of surprise.

* The lover is an Archon of questionable reputation.
** Or at least, he used to be. An archon, that is. He still has a questionable rep.

* All of the above speculations are correct and she's two-timing them both.

* Has refused Archonship positions three times, with two different Justicars.

* Every last pair of her impossibly high heels have been refitted with wood, a trick she taught to [[Victoria Hunter]].

* Justicar [[Lotharius]] and his agents have taken a very personal interest in her, bordering on obsession.

* After her attack on [[Kate Davidson]] at Midwinter 2012, some heard her snarl wordlessly, others could have sworn she hissed "stay away from him". No one is certain what prompted this...or who the "him" she was referencing could be. If she even said that at all.

* After speaking to him privately at Midwinter 2012, [[Elias Beecher]], previously thought dead in the battle the prior evening, was seen to have been talking to her very seriously, before concluding the conversation by standing on his tiptoes and kissing her on the cheek.

* Has her own Twitter account.

* For someone who supposedly hates women, she sure does seem to enjoy the company of [[Isabella Visconti]]. Maybe a little too much.

* Something in the past few months has taken her attention so much she's canceled Court repeatedly.

* Started a charity in Indonesia where poor orphan children learn valuable job skills making knock-off Christian Louboutins

* More than a few Brujah women have taken to wearing anklebreaker heels as a point of fashion when visiting her Court. She approves of this and often praises their taste in shoes.

* Was 'motorboated' by [[Mallory Jones]] at the Grand Gathering in Berkeley in May, because she "just couldn't help it, I mean, look at those things!"

* Was named as one half of the Brujah Power Couple of the Year along with [[Jack Sebastien|this guy]].
** Don't you mean 3/4's of the Brujah Power Couple of the Year? I might it's only [[Jack Sebastien|this guy]]

<h2>Character Information</h2>

[[File:KatWiki.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Kat at Court, photo by Meredith Gerber]] She's been everywhere and nowhere. Always in the background, always the source of the cynicism, dry wit and scathing snark from the back of the room. When she'd gotten off the plane at O'Hare International Airport in September of 1997, she'd had a thick Russian accent, a moderate grasp of the English language, a pair of four-inch stiletto boots, a pack of cigarettes, a tattoo of six numbers on her left forearm, and jaded eyes. Only the accent and the linguistics have changed in the past thirteen years.

The woman is never seen in public without at least one man on her arm, whether it's a husband, a childer, a fellow clanmate, an Archon, a Prince...you name it. At large events and gatherings, she invariably has multiple dates...and an entourage to boot, mostly men of high standing and Camarilla position. She's left a string of dead husbands in her wake, none, she will assure you kindly, deceased by her own hand. Some of the Brujah call her "Black Widow" behind her back. And to her face.

But she can charm them, somehow; she's always got a wink and a smile, a throaty laugh and a sly sidelong look for those she calls "her boys". If she ''really'' likes you, she'll shower you with little endearments: pumpkin, sugar, honey, sweetheart, darling. She's fiercely protective and unendingly loyal to those she calls family. G-d help you if you so much as look at her childer sideways, or lay hands upon those that she loves.

It seems like she knows nearly everyone, almost everywhere. She boldly calls several Archons by their first names rather than their titles, reminding some of them not-so-subtly that she remembers when they were just little stripling things, learning at her knee or fighting by her side. At the Springfield Conclave of 2001, she'd gotten more applause than some of the Justicars when she was introduced, irritating then-Justicar Malaphar of the Tremere considerably.

She's not much like the rest of the Rabble, at least, as far as outward appearances go. Sure, she's quick-tempered, but that's pretty much where the similarity ends. She doesn't go in for pack mentality, and has dug in her heels on a number of issues that have occasionally put her at odds with her own Clan. Especially after she took Praxis of Chicago from Petronius. Now her speech is more florid and formal, her dress conservative, her smile a bit more forced, her movements deliberate, her alliances careful.

The attempt on her life seems to have changed her some. Time will tell if the change is for the better, or worse. Don't let it fool you, though. She's still as deadly as ever.

==Known History==
Was an inmate of Auschwitz prior to Embrace. A resident of Chicago since 1997. Has outlived four Kindred husbands in fifteen years. Originally a resident and one of the longest-standing Primogen of Chicago, she relocated briefly before the Siege of Chicago and resided in Champaign around the turn of the milennium under Princes [[James Jones]] and [[Philip Walkin]]. Was Archon [[Jon Sebastian]]'s constant companion for several years, the two were rarely seen apart. Fought alongside former Justicar [[Masako]] during the Sabbat siege of Chicago in 2000 and returned permanently to reside in the city shortly thereafter. Took Praxis of Chicago from Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]] in December of 2009.

Attacked by two Sabbat assassins in front of the Drake Hotel on May 28, 2011 and presumed destroyed. Reemerged in Chicago and reclaimed her Praxis from [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]] almost exactly four months later on September 24, 2011.

After her reemergence in Kindred society, she was dogged by some highly disturbing rumors, most notably that she was an infernalist impostor. On November 26, 2011 she was publically cleared of all suspicion of infernalism by Archon [[Elias Beecher]] of Justicar [[Maris Streck]]'s office and Archon [[Terminus]] of Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]]'s office, as well as passing a private inquiry by Archon [[Saul Good]] of Justicar [[Cock Robin]]'s office, and a personal inquiry by Justicar [[Jaroslav Pascek]] himself.

To sum it up: totes not infernal, y'all.

At the Midwinter gathering of 2012, she noticeably went missing from the battle with Moloch, earning more than a little spite and derision from those Brujah who claimed that she willfully ignored a Call to Arms. Her explanation that she was "fighting on a different front" was met with confusion. She also garnered a fair amount of scandal by attacking Archon [[Kate Davidson]] in front of hundreds of people, actually ripping out a huge chunk of her hair and throwing it on the ground as the Archon was walking [[Paul Walker]] into a private room for interrogation. It was later discovered to be a hairpiece.

==Coterie==
"Oh darling, affiliation with coteries are so ''dangerous'' these days. I try to avoid them, and if you're smart, you will too."

==Allies==
Archon [[Jon Sebastian]], (former) Archon [[Jack Sebastien]] (no relation), Archon [[Leonius Agrippa]], Archon [[Victoria Hunter]], Archon [[Zio!]] (deceased), [[Hazzan Marwan]], [[Johnathan Gwynn]], Prince [[Zphonco Davinovich]], [[Khloe Hale]], and [[Isabella Rodriguez]], to name a scant handful. She may or may not have been involved politically or romantically with [[Sheldon Goldstein]], briefly, depending on who you talk to. Surprisingly, she even claims a longtime Tremere ally, [[Philip Walkin]], who has recently resurfaced in the Springfield area. She claims he is the only Tremere she has ever liked, and indeed, they have often been spotted together in public in recent months.

She is exceptionally fond of the Children of Haquim in general and very friendly with almost all members of that family locally, as well as a good handful nationally as well. She is often seen with at least one at her side, in particular her bodyguard, an affable Child of Haquim named [[Christopher Matthews]].

[[Kurt Mehmet]], [[Artemis]], and [[Dasai]], three of her closest allies and all Children of Haquim, were discovered to have joined the Rebellion in January of 2012, along with her adopted childe [[Spectre Llyandryn]]. This discovery was a crushing betrayal that left her shaken.

==Enemies==

The Tremere, in general, seem to really, really dislike her.

Refers to [[Paul Walker]] as her "nemesis", though rumor has it that they've recently decided to hate other people.

Ex-husband [[Emery Llyandryn]] has threatened her publicly, at her own Court.

[http://anarch.owbn.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Donovan_Creave Donovan Creave] has threatened her repeatedly both in public and in private.

The assassins who attacked her in the Spring, and those who engineered it, still live.

After ripping out [[Kate Davidson]]'s weave very publicly at the Midwinter gathering in January 2012, it is likely she has not earned the Archon's friendship.

==Sire==
Unknown. Was a drive-by embrace.

==Childer==
"Biological": [[Silas Christian]], [[Oliver Freigh]], [[Mila Nothing-Llyandryn]]

Considered [[Spectre Llyandryn]] her son, and no one really attempted to dissuade her of that notion. He was disowned after joining the Sabbat.

Unknown.

==Character Inspirations==

"You're certainly not the ''typical'' Brujah." - [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]]

[[Paul Walker]]: "Emery, I'm sorry things didn't work out between you and Katja. I'm planning a golf outing next week for the rest of Katja's exes. You should come along."

Sabbat member: "You're the Prince of Chicago, huh? We're coming for you, girl." 
Katja: (rolls eyes) "I call that Tuesday. ''You're'' coming for me, ''they're'' coming for me, the ''Tremere'' are coming for me...when is someone ''not'' coming for me? You're going to have to try harder than that to frighten me."

"I heard your ex-husband was going to be coming to court tonight." (beat) "Oh. I should probably narrow it down and tell you which one." - [[Christopher Matthews]]

Katja, to unknown: "A whole ''flock'' of birdies have been singing to me about what you've been up to lately. A friend of mine likes to say that we're never as clever as we think we are - and you, ''darling'', are ''so'' not clever."

[[Lan Blackwood]]:"No more marriages? Don't you miss the honeymoons?" 
Katja: "Darling, you don't even know. It's ''all'' honeymoon for me, now."

Katja, to an assemblage of Princes: "Children of Haqim are always, without hesitation, welcome in my city and at my Courts, and I have told them as much and asked them to tell their brothers of it as well. Despite the injuries I have suffered in recent nights, my offer to their family still stands and will remain standing as long as I am Prince of Chicago. If you don't want them in your City or on your Court, that's your business. I will gladly recieve your refugees with open arms in my own Domain."

==Rumors==
* All her dates to Midwinter have ended up as Archons within a year.

* Was affiliated with the Setites for some time in the late nineties. She got over it.

* It is speculated that some if not all of the individuals she claims are her "children" are not, in fact, her own.

* Some think she may have been a Hunter childe rather than a real Brujah.

* All of her children are instructed to address [[Victoria Hunter]] as "Auntie".

* Some of her childer refer to [[Johnathan Gwynn]] as "Uncle Johnny".

* May have addressed a few Justicars publically by their first names...and gotten away with it.

* Malaphar wanted her destroyed at the 2001 Conclave for recieving more applause during presentations as her Clan representative than he did as a Justicar. Thus began her trouble with the Tremere.

* Supposedly hates women, and only tolerates them publically because she has to.

* Texts more than a fourteen-year old girl. Her phone rarely leaves her hand.

* The murder attempt on Katja's life may have been perpetrated by the Sabbat, but it was engineered and aided by the Tremere.

* [[Paul Walker]] is the de facto leader of her League of Evil Exes.

* Took home three of the Championship belts from [[The Belt Game]] at Midwinter 2011.
** Was assisted by Archon [[Francis Merivein]] in the acquiring of said belts.

* Was propositioned by Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]] after seizing Praxis of Chicago from him. She declined his advances.

* Is infernal and an impostor claiming to be her.

* Is not infernal, and just has the luck of the Devil instead.

* Has a bit of a shoe fetish.

* Has a secret lover.

* The lover is a Tremere, which is why the Clan wants to kill her so badly.
** Has been seen being ''very'' close to [[Philip Walkin]] since his reemergence in Kindred society.
*** Then, of course, there's [[Jon-Apolo de Soult|this guy]].
**** That guy is a dead man if someone finds out.

* The lover is a Brujah, because she's "learned to stick with her own kind".
** And by that we mean [[Jack Sebastien|"angry pariahs"]].
*** If true, it would be her longest running relationship to date, an intriguing bit of trivia to say the least.
****Publicly confirmed at the Grand Gathering in the Bay Area in May, to a distinct lack of surprise.

* The lover is an Archon of questionable reputation.
** Or at least, he used to be. An archon, that is. He still has a questionable rep.

* All of the above speculations are correct and she's two-timing them both.

* Has refused Archonship positions three times, with two different Justicars.

* Every last pair of her impossibly high heels have been refitted with wood, a trick she taught to [[Victoria Hunter]].

* Justicar [[Lotharius]] and his agents have taken a very personal interest in her, bordering on obsession.

* After her attack on [[Kate Davidson]] at Midwinter 2012, some heard her snarl wordlessly, others could have sworn she hissed "stay away from him". No one is certain what prompted this...or who the "him" she was referencing could be. If she even said that at all.

* After speaking to him privately at Midwinter 2012, [[Elias Beecher]], previously thought dead in the battle the prior evening, was seen to have been talking to her very seriously, before concluding the conversation by standing on his tiptoes and kissing her on the cheek.

* Has her own Twitter account.

* For someone who supposedly hates women, she sure does seem to enjoy the company of [[Isabella Visconti]]. Maybe a little too much.

* Something in the past few months has taken her attention so much she's canceled Court repeatedly.

* Started a charity in Indonesia where poor orphan children learn valuable job skills making knock-off Christian Louboutins

* More than a few Brujah women have taken to wearing anklebreaker heels as a point of fashion when visiting her Court. She approves of this and often praises their taste in shoes.

* Was 'motorboated' by [[Mallory Jones]] at the Grand Gathering in Berkeley in May, because she "just couldn't help it, I mean, look at those things!"

If you don't want them in your City or on your Court, that's your business. I will gladly recieve your refugees with open arms in my own Domain."

==Rumors==
* All her dates to Midwinter have ended up as Archons within a year.

* Was affiliated with the Setites for some time in the late nineties. She got over it.

* It is speculated that some if not all of the individuals she claims are her "children" are not, in fact, her own.

* Some think she may have been a Hunter childe rather than a real Brujah.

* All of her children are instructed to address [[Victoria Hunter]] as "Auntie".

* Some of her childer refer to [[Johnathan Gwynn]] as "Uncle Johnny".

* May have addressed a few Justicars publically by their first names...and gotten away with it.

* Malaphar wanted her destroyed at the 2001 Conclave for recieving more applause during presentations as her Clan representative than he did as a Justicar. Thus began her trouble with the Tremere.

* Supposedly hates women, and only tolerates them publically because she has to.

* Texts more than a fourteen-year old girl. Her phone rarely leaves her hand.

* The murder attempt on Katja's life may have been perpetrated by the Sabbat, but it was engineered and aided by the Tremere.

* [[Paul Walker]] is the de facto leader of her League of Evil Exes.

* Took home three of the Championship belts from [[The Belt Game]] at Midwinter 2011.
** Was assisted by Archon [[Francis Merivein]] in the acquiring of said belts.

* Was propositioned by Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]] after seizing Praxis of Chicago from him. She declined his advances.

* Is infernal and an impostor claiming to be her.

* Is not infernal, and just has the luck of the Devil instead.

* Has a bit of a shoe fetish.

* Has a secret lover.

* The lover is a Tremere, which is why the Clan wants to kill her so badly.
** Has been seen being ''very'' close to [[Philip Walkin]] since his reemergence in Kindred society.
*** Then, of course, there's [[Jon-Apolo de Soult|this guy]].
**** That guy is a dead man if someone finds out.

* The lover is a Brujah, because she's "learned to stick with her own kind".
** And by that we mean [[Jack Sebastien|"angry pariahs"]].
*** If true, it would be her longest running relationship to date, an intriguing bit of trivia to say the least.
****Publicly confirmed at the Grand Gathering in the Bay Area in May, to a distinct lack of surprise.

* The lover is an Archon of questionable reputation.
** Or at least, he used to be. An archon, that is. He still has a questionable rep.

* All of the above speculations are correct and she's two-timing them both.

* Has refused Archonship positions three times, with two different Justicars.

* Every last pair of her impossibly high heels have been refitted with wood, a trick she taught to [[Victoria Hunter]].

* Justicar [[Lotharius]] and his agents have taken a very personal interest in her, bordering on obsession.

* After her attack on [[Kate Davidson]] at Midwinter 2012, some heard her snarl wordlessly, others could have sworn she hissed "stay away from him". No one is certain what prompted this...or who the "him" she was referencing could be. If she even said that at all.

* After speaking to him privately at Midwinter 2012, [[Elias Beecher]], previously thought dead in the battle the prior evening, was seen to have been talking to her very seriously, before concluding the conversation by standing on his tiptoes and kissing her on the cheek.

* Has her own Twitter account.

* For someone who supposedly hates women, she sure does seem to enjoy the company of [[Isabella Visconti]]. Maybe a little too much.

* Something in the past few months has taken her attention so much she's canceled Court repeatedly.

* Started a charity in Indonesia where poor orphan children learn valuable job skills making knock-off Christian Louboutins

* More than a few Brujah women have taken to wearing anklebreaker heels as a point of fashion when visiting her Court. She approves of this and often praises their taste in shoes.

* Was 'motorboated' by [[Mallory Jones]] at the Grand Gathering in Berkeley in May, because she "just couldn't help it, I mean, look at those things!"

[[Image:Jack_Sebastien.jpg|thumb|]]
'''Alias(es):''' None

'''Real Name:''' Jack Andrew Sebastien is his only known name.

'''Apparent Age:''' Mid 30s

'''Concept:''' Angry Don Quixote screaming at the windmills.

'''Physical description:''' Nondescript white male.

'''Detailed Status:''' Acknowledged, Determined, Honorable, Influential, Loyal, <s>Loyal</s> (Lost in Sacramento 4/28/12 after he withered and beatdown Alesandre)''' 

<h2>Character Information</h2>

He's just this guy. This angry, angry guy.

==Known History==

He is a Brujah. Once a respected leader in the clan, he's now become almost an Autarkis and usually posts in a hit-and-run fashion on the rant list. He considers many Brujah to be Caitiff because of their lack of conviction and inability to have an opinion that they can articulate.

He used to be the Prince of [[San Francisco]]. He got into a public shouting match with [[Igor Ctarinov]], former Nosferatu Justicar; a Conclave was called by Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]], and Sebastien was put on trial. While he won the Conclave, Petronius announced he had declared Praxis and that Sebastien had been killed.

He was an Archon to Justicar [[Lucinde]]. Three months after his apparent death, he was announced as an Archon to Justicar Lucinde. As Archon, he has kept an eye on internal threats to the Camarilla, policing those whose actions and opinions are contradictory to the Camarilla.

Five years after that, Justicar Petronius apologized to Jack Sebastien and gave him the status of Determined for his protection and defense of the spirit of the Camarilla.

He's one of the longest serving publicly-known Archons. He knows that his methods often upset people who might be disposed to him, and that the manner in which he points out Kindred for their crimes and/or general inadequacies as individuals can occasionally be counter-productive, that he can accomplish so much more by ignoring it, or shutting up, or being polite, but he's a Brujah, and he could give a fuck about what you think of him.

Six and a half years after that, he quits in a rage over his disillusionment in the Justicariate and the Justicar he serves.

==Coterie==
None. People used to claim him in theirs, but he's pretty much determined to be a free agent and rapidly becoming a liability.

==Allies==
They used to tolerate him.

==Enemies==

[[Saul Good]]

His own clan if they keep acting stupid.

Himself

Lucky for him, a lot of people hate his enemies slightly more than they hate him

==Sire==
A pile of ashes. Jack says that his sire was an anarch Brujah that embraced Jack and dumped him.

==Childer==
Unknown. There is one Kindred that claims Jack embraced him one night in Vancouver while in the middle of a drug haze. Jack has never publicly declared this anarch his childe. The anarch was killed by [[Qelyn Ellyllon]], a Tremere.

==Broodmates==
Jack has referred to a broodmate that was in the Sabbat and attempted to kill him. Due to Jack's relationship with his sire, while he suspects there are broodmates out there, he has no knowledge of them, or a real desire to find them.

==Character Inspirations==
[V.O.] My name is Jack Sebastien. I used to be an Archon, until...

Jack: [Standing on an observation deck in Berlin] I hope that whatever Pascek gave you was worth it. I quit.

[V.O.] When you're burned, you've got nothing. No status, no boons, no position. You're stuck in whatever domain they decide to dump you in.

Jack: Where am I?
 Katja: I got you matching collars. One for you. One for the Ocelot.

[V.O.] You do whatever work comes your way. You rely on anyone who's still talking to you. A trigger-happy ex-primogen...

Cassandra Lynn-Day: Shall we stake them?

[V.O.] An old friend who used to inform on you to the Ventrue...

Jack Rogan: You know Archons. Bunch of bitchy little girls.

[V.O.] ''Family'' too...

Rogan: Hey, is that you texting Katja again?

[V.O.] ...if you're desperate.

Katja: Someone needs their balls kicked, Jack.

[V.O.] Bottom line is: as long as you're burned, you're not going anywhere.

From the Roast of [[Shanghai Kelly]]

As a former Archon, your picky to a lot of facts and stories in your head, and there's one I'd like to share with you now.

So, Shanghai Kelly heard that [[Art Morgan]] was looking for Archons, since heíd just been made Justicar and needed people. And, since most of you here have met Shanghai, you know that he'd just show up, unannounced, start talking, and work his way in.

"So, what can you do?" Art Morgan asks.

Now Shanghai wasn't born yesterday and he knew his job was on the line. He needed the best and the brightest our society had to offer."
So he traveled the world to collect some of the Cam's best and brightest. And he took them into Art Morgan's hazy, hazy crib. The tension in the air was thicker than the fog in the bay on the night he's dumping the bodies.

There was some discreet puff, puff pass action from the Justicar and then he looked Kelly right in his good eye and said... "Show me what you've got, Archon."

Shanghai smiles his snake-oil selling grin, that he won of ol' scratch in a game of whist back in ought-four. "Well Art, I'm glad you asked, right glad indeed. We start in Elysium, a rolling green lawn of a place, with [[Dean Famularo]], his nose twitching like a rutting pig in heat, is sniffing for buried snakes, like they were the finest of french truffles. He digs one out, pulling on this trouser snake, like there's an abstinencetrain coming and he wants something to pretend to atone for. Now, Dean, being an otaku, and that it's in clan, let's out a mighty shart, and inky black tentacles erupt, choking this snake, like it was a chicken for Sunday dinner.

Then, along comes [[Jacen Pompeii]], and he's investigating master control of the mid-Atlantic, [[Roscoe Gordon]], acting the part of an independent Prince assumes the contrary position and the Archon charges up his anger into a little known Brujah power called [http://i36.tinypic.com/34fh8iu.jpg Flaming Broomstick] and makes his case to Prince Gordon until Gordon changes opinion to see Jacen's light. Justicar [[Cock Robin]] appears and makes him and Archon at which point Archon Gordon realize's, 'oh my god, Jacen Pompeii raped me!'

And then came [[Johnathan_Gwynn|Johnny Giovanni]]. I mean Johnny Gwynn. I mean... let's just call him what his mother named him: 'Daigo Kardashian'. He was crawling on his hands and using [[Kate Davidson]] as a hat in what the eye-tlian necromancers like to call a 'Venetian Afterbirth.' He comes to a glass table where Archon [[Eva Luna]] and Sexretary [[Devon Thane]] casting the Ritual called the [http://www.somekindofawesome.com/storage/post-images/scissor_sisters.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1335388410981 Rubbing of the Thaumaturgical Scissors] and vomits blood over them called [http://img.archiexpo.com/images_ae/photo-m2/contemporary-glass-table-258887.jpg Glass Bottomed Gondala].

''This may need to be edited for the harpy report.''

As we come to the emotional center of the act, [[Tatiyana "Anya" Pyotrevna|Anya]], who seems to have more questionable kindred slid into her than the domain of Tampa steps up. She squats over the burning black chest of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moloch Moloch]. Squirming as if possessed by a milleneials old spirit, she grimaces and grunts and expunges her blood congealed into a slimy solid form and, there in front of [http://i1125.photobucket.com/albums/l594/Siskoid/Splashes/splash-elvira-10.jpg Caine] with 'e' and Camarilla she shits out a Hartford Steamer, atop of Moloch's chest. Few others could take such a colossal dump on the representatives of the Camarilla, but she did. Almost as if she was shitting on the Camarilla itself. And then the blood in the shit congealed and that mighty dump turned into goddam [[Paul Walker]]. With a grin and a wink at the crowd, Moloch, Anya, Paul Walker and his ego, slip out of space and time to complete the Pocket Foursome.

Rushing in to put a stop to the insanity and save the soul of the Sect, in rush Archons [[Nicholas Tept]] and [[Saul Good]], an unholy buddy cop duo with Saul saying "I'm too crazy for this year," and he slips into frenzy

Tept rushing to his aid says 'I can infuse Saul Good with my purity!' And proceeds to unzip his pants and drops them on the floor and there... there is a weapon in the fight for good and lightness. For you see, Nicholas Tept does not have the genitals of a normal kindred. For once, several years ago, he lost his powerful sorcerer's cock and balls to [[Francis Merovin]] in a poker game - which is incidentally how Archon Merevin got his magic groove back. There instead of the groin so common to normal men on Magus Tept was a proud magestic unicorn horn strap on. And god as my witness he gently bent saul good over the back of a couch and started to "infuse" Saul Good on the spot. In and out, in and out, he was infused with so much purity that is started to leak out of Saul Good's cock faster than [[Elias Beecher]] could catch it."

Art Morgan lets out a strangled gasp, "Beecher?"

Shanghai's crocodile like grin, letting off it's foul malicious taint, spreads wider. "Oh yes, for Archon Beecher, is there, acting as the plucky stage hand that get's his lucky break and is made into a star."

Soon in an effort to perserve the holy mana which would be necessary to fight the Raid Boss, and save society until next winter, Saul grabbed Elias gently yet firmly by the ears and used his mouth to catch the glistening holy balm. And Elias, despite the fact it burned his unholy flesh took it all inside him. Then he pulled away and a quizical look flashed over his chereub-esque features. 'Wait, that doesn't taste like holy mana, it tastes like bleach.'. ... Holy [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ea/Nyarlathotep.jpg/200px-Nyarlathotep.jpg Nyarlathotep], Saul Good just raped me."

"It's not Rape," cried Saul Good, still with Nick Tept's rampant horn clenched between his asscheeks. ìIt's a secret ritual of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_Saint_Michael Order of St. Michael]. It's a secret Tremere demon-fighting rite... I learned it from Selene. ... ... Sweet Jesus, [[Selene Lazarion]] raped me."

So, Shanghai finishes, hands clasped together against his chest, chuckling to himself having recounted the whole act.

Art Morgan was outraged. He stood, looking solemly at the assembeled Avengers of Fire and in a low rumbling voice that sounded like rocks grind together he asked "What, Archon Kelly, is this?"

Shanghai removes his hat and leans in, pulling down his glasses so you can see his one good eye, "Well sir, you see before you the heroes of the Camarilla. The best and brightest we have to offer in these dark time. I give you.... [http://spud.wetfish.net/b/the-joke.jpg The Aristocrats]."

<h2>Character Information</h2>

[[File:KatWiki.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Kat at Court, photo by Meredith Gerber]] She's been everywhere and nowhere. Always in the background, always the source of the cynicism, dry wit and scathing snark from the back of the room. When she'd gotten off the plane at O'Hare International Airport in September of 1997, she'd had a thick Russian accent, a moderate grasp of the English language, a pair of four-inch stiletto boots, a pack of cigarettes, a tattoo of six numbers on her left forearm, and jaded eyes. Only the accent and the linguistics have changed in the past thirteen years.

The woman is never seen in public without at least one man on her arm, whether it's a husband, a childer, a fellow clanmate, an Archon, a Prince...you name it. At large events and gatherings, she invariably has multiple dates...and an entourage to boot, mostly men of high standing and Camarilla position. She's left a string of dead husbands in her wake, none, she will assure you kindly, deceased by her own hand. Some of the Brujah call her "Black Widow" behind her back. And to her face.

But she can charm them, somehow; she's always got a wink and a smile, a throaty laugh and a sly sidelong look for those she calls "her boys". If she ''really'' likes you, she'll shower you with little endearments: pumpkin, sugar, honey, sweetheart, darling. She's fiercely protective and unendingly loyal to those she calls family. G-d help you if you so much as look at her childer sideways, or lay hands upon those that she loves.

It seems like she knows nearly everyone, almost everywhere. She boldly calls several Archons by their first names rather than their titles, reminding some of them not-so-subtly that she remembers when they were just little stripling things, learning at her knee or fighting by her side. At the Springfield Conclave of 2001, she'd gotten more applause than some of the Justicars when she was introduced, irritating then-Justicar Malaphar of the Tremere considerably.

She's not much like the rest of the Rabble, at least, as far as outward appearances go. Sure, she's quick-tempered, but that's pretty much where the similarity ends. She doesn't go in for pack mentality, and has dug in her heels on a number of issues that have occasionally put her at odds with her own Clan. Especially after she took Praxis of Chicago from Petronius. Now her speech is more florid and formal, her dress conservative, her smile a bit more forced, her movements deliberate, her alliances careful.

The attempt on her life seems to have changed her some. Time will tell if the change is for the better, or worse. Don't let it fool you, though. She's still as deadly as ever.

==Known History==
Was an inmate of Auschwitz prior to Embrace. A resident of Chicago since 1997. Has outlived four Kindred husbands in fifteen years. Originally a resident and one of the longest-standing Primogen of Chicago, she relocated briefly before the Siege of Chicago and resided in Champaign around the turn of the milennium under Princes [[James Jones]] and [[Philip Walkin]]. Was Archon [[Jon Sebastian]]'s constant companion for several years, the two were rarely seen apart. Fought alongside former Justicar [[Masako]] during the Sabbat siege of Chicago in 2000 and returned permanently to reside in the city shortly thereafter. Took Praxis of Chicago from Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]] in December of 2009.

Attacked by two Sabbat assassins in front of the Drake Hotel on May 28, 2011 and presumed destroyed. Reemerged in Chicago and reclaimed her Praxis from [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]] almost exactly four months later on September 24, 2011.

After her reemergence in Kindred society, she was dogged by some highly disturbing rumors, most notably that she was an infernalist impostor. On November 26, 2011 she was publically cleared of all suspicion of infernalism by Archon [[Elias Beecher]] of Justicar [[Maris Streck]]'s office and Archon [[Terminus]] of Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]]'s office, as well as passing a private inquiry by Archon [[Saul Good]] of Justicar [[Cock Robin]]'s office, and a personal inquiry by Justicar [[Jaroslav Pascek]] himself.

To sum it up: totes not infernal, y'all.

At the Midwinter gathering of 2012, she noticeably went missing from the battle with Moloch, earning more than a little spite and derision from those Brujah who claimed that she willfully ignored a Call to Arms. Her explanation that she was "fighting on a different front" was met with confusion. She also garnered a fair amount of scandal by attacking Archon [[Kate Davidson]] in front of hundreds of people, actually ripping out a huge chunk of her hair and throwing it on the ground as the Archon was walking [[Paul Walker]] into a private room for interrogation. It was later discovered to be a hairpiece.

==Coterie==
"Oh darling, affiliation with coteries are so ''dangerous'' these days. I try to avoid them, and if you're smart, you will too."

==Allies==
Archon [[Jon Sebastian]], (former) Archon [[Jack Sebastien]] (no relation), Archon [[Leonius Agrippa]], Archon [[Victoria Hunter]], Archon [[Zio!]] (deceased), [[Hazzan Marwan]], [[Johnathan Gwynn]], Prince [[Zphonco Davinovich]], [[Khloe Hale]], and [[Isabella Rodriguez]], to name a scant handful. She may or may not have been involved politically or romantically with [[Sheldon Goldstein]], briefly, depending on who you talk to. Surprisingly, she even claims a longtime Tremere ally, [[Philip Walkin]], who has recently resurfaced in the Springfield area. She claims he is the only Tremere she has ever liked, and indeed, they have often been spotted together in public in recent months.

She is exceptionally fond of the Children of Haquim in general and very friendly with almost all members of that family locally, as well as a good handful nationally as well. She is often seen with at least one at her side, in particular her bodyguard, an affable Child of Haquim named [[Christopher Matthews]].

[[Kurt Mehmet]], [[Artemis]], and [[Dasai]], three of her closest allies and all Children of Haquim, were discovered to have joined the Rebellion in January of 2012, along with her adopted childe [[Spectre Llyandryn]]. This discovery was a crushing betrayal that left her shaken.

==Enemies==

The Tremere, in general, seem to really, really dislike her.

Refers to [[Paul Walker]] as her "nemesis", though rumor has it that they've recently decided to hate other people.

Ex-husband [[Emery Llyandryn]] has threatened her publicly, at her own Court.

[http://anarch.owbn.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Donovan_Creave Donovan Creave] has threatened her repeatedly both in public and in private.

The assassins who attacked her in the Spring, and those who engineered it, still live.

After ripping out [[Kate Davidson]]'s weave very publically at the Midwinter gathering in January 2012, it is likely she has not earned the Archon's friendship.

==Sire==
Unknown. Was a drive-by embrace.

==Childer==
"Biological": [[Silas Christian]], [[Oliver Freigh]], [[Mila Nothing-Llyandryn]]

Considered [[Spectre Llyandryn]] her son, and no one really attempted to dissuade her of that notion. He was disowned after joining the Sabbat.

==Broodmates==
Unknown.

==Character Inspirations==
Physically, a young Shirley Manson. In concept, I owe a lot to Edith Hahn Beer and Art Spiegelman.

<h2>Character Information</h2>

[[File:KatWiki.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Kat at Court, photo by Meredith Gerber]] She's been everywhere and nowhere. Always in the background, always the source of the cynicism, dry wit and scathing snark from the back of the room. When she'd gotten off the plane at O'Hare International Airport in September of 1997, she'd had a thick Russian accent, a moderate grasp of the English language, a pair of four-inch stiletto boots, a pack of cigarettes, a tattoo of six numbers on her left forearm, and jaded eyes. Only the accent and the linguistics have changed in the past thirteen years.

The woman is never seen in public without at least one man on her arm, whether it's a husband, a childer, a fellow clanmate, an Archon, a Prince...you name it. At large events and gatherings, she invariably has multiple dates...and an entourage to boot, mostly men of high standing and Camarilla position. She's left a string of dead husbands in her wake, none, she will assure you kindly, deceased by her own hand. Some of the Brujah call her "Black Widow" behind her back. And to her face.

But she can charm them, somehow; she's always got a wink and a smile, a throaty laugh and a sly sidelong look for those she calls "her boys". If she ''really'' likes you, she'll shower you with little endearments: pumpkin, sugar, honey, sweetheart, darling. She's fiercely protective and unendingly loyal to those she calls family. G-d help you if you so much as look at her childer sideways, or lay hands upon those that she loves.

It seems like she knows nearly everyone, almost everywhere. She boldly calls several Archons by their first names rather than their titles, reminding some of them not-so-subtly that she remembers when they were just little stripling things, learning at her knee or fighting by her side. At the Springfield Conclave of 2001, she'd gotten more applause than some of the Justicars when she was introduced, irritating then-Justicar Malaphar of the Tremere considerably.

She's not much like the rest of the Rabble, at least, as far as outward appearances go. Sure, she's quick-tempered, but that's pretty much where the similarity ends. She doesn't go in for pack mentality, and has dug in her heels on a number of issues that have occasionally put her at odds with her own Clan. Especially after she took Praxis of Chicago from Petronius. Now her speech is more florid and formal, her dress conservative, her smile a bit more forced, her movements deliberate, her alliances careful.

The attempt on her life seems to have changed her some. Time will tell if the change is for the better, or worse. Don't let it fool you, though. She's still as deadly as ever.

==Known History==
Was an inmate of Auschwitz prior to Embrace. A resident of Chicago since 1997. Has outlived four Kindred husbands in fifteen years. Originally a resident and one of the longest-standing Primogen of Chicago, she relocated briefly before the Siege of Chicago and resided in Champaign around the turn of the milennium under Princes [[James Jones]] and [[Philip Walkin]]. Was Archon [[Jon Sebastian]]'s constant companion for several years, the two were rarely seen apart. Fought alongside former Justicar [[Masako]] during the Sabbat siege of Chicago in 2000 and returned permanently to reside in the city shortly thereafter. Took Praxis of Chicago from Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]] in December of 2009.

Attacked by two Sabbat assassins in front of the Drake Hotel on May 28, 2011 and presumed destroyed. Reemerged in Chicago and reclaimed her Praxis from [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]] almost exactly four months later on September 24, 2011.

After her reemergence in Kindred society, she was dogged by some highly disturbing rumors, most notably that she was an infernalist impostor. On November 26, 2011 she was publically cleared of all suspicion of infernalism by Archon [[Elias Beecher]] of Justicar [[Maris Streck]]'s office and Archon [[Terminus]] of Justicar [[Titus Petronius Niger]]'s office, as well as passing a private inquiry by Archon [[Saul Good]] of Justicar [[Cock Robin]]'s office, and a personal inquiry by Justicar [[Jaroslav Pascek]] himself.

To sum it up: totes not infernal, y'all.

At the Midwinter gathering of 2012, she noticeably went missing from the battle with Moloch, earning more than a little spite and derision from those Brujah who claimed that she willfully ignored a Call to Arms. Her explanation that she was "fighting on a different front" was met with confusion. She also garnered a fair amount of scandal by attacking Archon [[Kate Davidson]] in front of hundreds of people, actually ripping out a huge chunk of her hair and throwing it on the ground as the Archon was walking [[Paul Walker]] into a private room for interrogation. It was later discovered to be a hairpiece.

==Coterie==
"Oh darling, affiliation with coteries are so ''dangerous'' these days. I try to avoid them, and if you're smart, you will too."

==Allies==
Archon [[Jon Sebastian]], (former) Archon [[Jack Sebastien]] (no relation), Archon [[Leonius Agrippa]], Archon [[Victoria Hunter]], Archon [[Zio!]] (deceased), [[Hazzan Marwan]], [[Johnathan Gwynn]], Prince [[Zphonco Davinovich]], [[Khloe Hale]], and [[Isabella Rodriguez]], to name a scant handful. She may or may not have been involved politically or romantically with [[Sheldon Goldstein]], briefly, depending on who you talk to. Surprisingly, she even claims a longtime Tremere ally, [[Philip Walkin]], who has recently resurfaced in the Springfield area. She claims he is the only Tremere she has ever liked, and indeed, they have often been spotted together in public in recent months.

She is exceptionally fond of the Children of Haquim in general and very friendly with almost all members of that family locally, as well as a good handful nationally as well. She is often seen with at least one at her side, in particular her bodyguard, an affable Child of Haquim named [[Christopher Matthews]].
