Rae Katona

“If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun.”

– Katharine Hepburn

_{Rae is a short, skinny teenager who walks too tall and fears too little. With long, wavy, chestnut hair, deep brown eyes, and a smattering of freckles, it's easy to be pulled in by her charm. However, underneath all that lie hard lines of ropey muscle. She has no tattoos or piercings to speak of, but both her legs, starting from her upper thighs, are made up completely of wires and shiny metal paneling. Rae was born without her legs developed. Because she was born to a family of Inquisitors, Rae had the best biotech available to her. Her legs are sleek and lightweight, a dusty gold color in an attempt to match her skin. She leans more towards expensive, high-fashion clothing and overpriced makeup, though she is not above occasionally dressing for comfort.}

Delving Deeper

P E R S O N A L I T Y

To call Rae 'willful' would be an understatement. Stubborn as an ox would be more accurate. Hard headed. Clever and charming to be sure, but the moment you think you can tell Rae Katona what to do is the moment you realize you'd have better luck trying to set fire to the ocean. More spiteful than rational, Rae will often do things completely ignoring any consequences. Though her childhood was far from blissful, she's grown up with more opportunities and resources than anyone should have any right to – and she knows it. She carries herself with all the swagger and confidence (some might say arrogance) of someone who's only ever had it good. Underneath the teenaged attitude and saccharine charm though is a soldier in the making. Rae is sharper than she'd have you think, and surprisingly disciplined when she wants to be. Not that you'd ever realize, with how she seems to court trouble. In spite of (or more likely because of) the strict discipline instilled in her, she takes any opportunity she can to break the rules with reckless abandon, her disregard for authority in every move she makes. Sooner or later we all realize we're not invincible – Rae's just not one to let that stop her.

H I S T O R Y

Victoria Rae Katona was born the second child to Henry and Sabine Katona, a well known Inquisitor family. Their other child, Rae's older brother Jensen, was not an Inquisitor. No, instead of carrying on the proud family legacy, Jensen had gone off to be an entertainer of all things. It was quite the embarrassment. Henry and Sabine promptly cut him off and focused all their attention on their younger child – much to Rae's misfortune.

Her childhood was, in a word, regimented. In another word, stifling. In several words, a massive pain in Rae's ass. She had to always be at attention, practice with firearms, hand-to-hand combat, painting was a 'waste of time,' socializing was a distraction… Rae felt smothered. And bitter.

And so, like any teenager, she acted out. She started to steal thing. She messed around with the systems. She secretly made unapproved modifications to her biotech. Never anything too severe, but enough for her to feel in control, even a little bit. Inevitably, she was caught stealing one day. The Inquisitor was an old friend of her father's, and willing to let the offense slide, much to her parents' relief. It just wouldn't do if they were disgraced by not one, but two unfortunate children. Having a thespian in the family was bad enough. A criminal would be the final nail in the coffin holding their family's pride.

Rae then proceeded to confess to a slew of crimes – only a few of which she was actually guilty of.

To her satisfaction – and her parents' collective horror – such a confession was too much for the Inquisitor to ignore, and Rae was promptly thrown in jail. Her parents were mortified. Then, when she finally let the reality of her situation sink in, so was Rae. She'd just confessed to a multitude of crimes. When her trial date arrived, there would be no way she'd be allowed to live. And so, Rae's own pride and bitterness had been her death sentence. At least, until J came along.

E X T R A I N F O

Mirror, Fox, Key

Meryn was startled out of her panic by the feeling of warm hands circling around her wrists. It wasn't often that she was touched. She blinked up to see Lily's face, scratched up and bloody but no less gentle for it. Meryn's breath hiccuped in her throat as she tried to get a handle on her frantic breathing. Lily cooed soothing words at her, 'just a little blood.' Meryn's eyebrows pulled together and she began shaking her head, but Lily had already released her and turned to Emma.

Meryn shrank back, away from Lily almost immediately. Her arms curled in around her middle as she tried to make herself small, scared eyes still on Lily's back. It wasn't just blood. It was infected. Deadly. And what if Meryn was infected now too? She –

Spook's mask turned to face her, immediately capturing Meryn's attention. Glassy eyes stared at her and for a moment the image of a half-formed face, sick with tar black crystals flitted through her mind. She could end up like that.

His muffled voice reached her, oddly heavy. Meryn raised an incredulous eyebrow at his question because… seriously? All she'd done on this trip was get injured. Her entire body ached, some places more severely than others. Blood was still drying on her shirt. But the wood demon hadn't gotten at her, if that was what Spook meant. Meryn shook her head at him.

Then a robot came rolling up. Because of course it did.

Heroes are we

Lantern

Artemis felt something dance like electricity through her veins. She wasn't in pain. She wasn't tired. She was still lost. Still more flash than substance. But suddenly that seemed manageable. Downright addressable. Long limbs itched for movement and for a moment Artemis was overwhelmed with this rejuvenation.

The new awareness of the two children watching her somewhere from the shadows brought her back. Her mind snapped to attention.

She was still in a sketchy, demonic forest of mystery. Right.

Running from the Witch probably ranked as one of the top five stupidest things she'd ever done. And she'd done a lot of stupid things before. Going back and asking for help when she clearly needed it was… no. Just no. She could… ask the Pirate for help? He seemed non-murderous. Artemis could ask for a ride or directions to the nearest settlement. Surely there had to be one. People couldn't survive in a world as hellish as this without grouping together for support. Convincing him to help her wouldn't be too hard. Maybe she could flirt.

She just had to not let the Witch see her crawling back onto her property. Because that would just do wonders for her pride. But first… Artemis stood tall as she could and put a hand on her hip

"Alright then," she drawled to the forest, "you can either come out, or I can take matters into my own hands." The fingers on her other hand began to curl around the iron rose hanging from her wrist. These kids… they were Kith, right? Apparently Kith didn't like iron. For whatever reason. And something about runes. Maybe the bluff would be enough to intimidate them. Artemis just hoped they weren't planning on attacking her. Or packing heat.

"Three…two…"
