Editing The Sheltered Hand:Katrin (section)

==Character Backstory==

Katrin was a proper Trakken woman of her clan, learning their serious-minded, mystical fighting style, channeling their spirits into becoming vessels of war. Well, she was ''mostly'' a proper woman of her clan. Sort of. She was far too inquisitive about other clans and their ways. About the spirits of their harsh land. About the other clans that called to them. She prefers not to talk about the family that considers her dead, even though they well know she walked off into the woods alive. She doesn't want to spare them any thought, really. Especially since so many Trakken clans actually value the natural knowledge she sought. When they hear about her becoming a famous hero, that'll show them. Or not. They'll probably still be close-minded fools.

Katrin is inquisitive, perceptive, and can use her mind to punch like a bear. Or call upon the spirits of nature to be a bear, and also punch like one. Her druidic magic is not nearly as advanced as someone focused on it, mainly a channel for her to exceed the human form and cause trouble for enemies that might try to get around her and attack her allies instead. She is always ready to fight, but also ready to listen, and ready to talk - though she's not always the most articulate, she's much friendlier than anyone expects a Trakken to be, and has a good listener's ear.
