Katherine Rosenthal

History
Katherine Rosenthal is the twin sister of Michael Rosenthal, and the princess of the Empire of Carim. The woman was born during a snowy night along with her brother, it is rumored that both children were cut from their mother's womb at the same time by the grand healer of the capital. While some lords complain that is was Michael who was born first, but the truth remains a mystery as even the midwives of that fateful night went missing while the grand healer was exiled to the southern kingdoms.

Katherine grew up along side her brother, loving him just as she would love her father. Devoted and would die for her family. That would all change upon her thirteenth name day, when she and her brother would be sent off to opposite corners of the country.

The young woman would be sent to live among the southern lords and ladies of the empire. Learning the ways of the republic, to understand the needs of the poor, and to aid those that did not have a voice for them. She would become one to settle disputes through democracy and courts, without the swift voice of a king or queen.

Recent History
As her father dies from an unforeseen illness Katherine gathers with her southern lords and diplomats in the capital. While her brother only brings sworn swords and lesser lords to his side, Katherine gathers both great and common men alike. She is also known to be one of the few women within the capital to be trained in the ways of the saber and bow. As time goes on and her father weakens, Katherine makes her push for power to show the world that democracy can govern an empire.

Appearance
Like all Caesians Katherine is rather tall, especially compared to human women but among other Caesian nobles she is short. Standing only at six foot eight, her hair is said to be red as fire the same color of her mother's. Her dark blue eyes seem to shimmer like the waves of the sea, prepared to drown anyone who dares to gaze into them for far too long.
