Katrina Liane Elesius

Princess Katrina Liane Elesius is the second daughter of King Hrathnir III. She is a quiet adolescent who has a distant air about her that can be unsettling to people despite her kind and polite manner. Katrina has a mental disability in which she can not experience the emotion of fear which has serious implications as fear many practical values as it is at heart a primal kind of survival instinct. After her older sister, Alexia Lynn Elesius, goes missing and is assumed dead her father's illness takes a turn for the worse and the Council of Elder Statesmen take up rulership of the kingdom. The Elder Statesmen do not have Elesius' best interests at heart and resent Katrina; they destroy her self-confidence by telling her that she's a 'damaged' individual and can never be of use except as a puppet ruler. This only worsens Katrina's somewhat awkward social nature.
