* '''Silver Moon Medium:''' Catenna was raised as a dedicated Zoa Priestess in the service of Celesdue, but found herself in possession of the Silver Moon Medium after discovering a lost temple in the depths of Elru. The Medium grants her a far stronger connection to the Moon Guardian than most and enables powerful Material summons and arcana.
* '''Silver Moon Medium:''' Catenna was raised as a dedicated Zoa Priestess in the service of Celesdue, but found herself in possession of the Silver Moon Medium after discovering a lost temple in the depths of Elru.

* '''Supplemental Mediums:''' Catenna possesses both a Stone Medium of Lucadia and an Artificial Medium of Rigdobrite.
* '''Sea Medium:''' Granted to her in the depths of the Guardian Temple, this new Medium gives Catenna the ability to tap into the powers of Lucadia, Guardian of the Sea, though it is an ability she has barely begun to explore. While her life has been devoted to Celesdue, the inextricable bond between the Moon and the tide makes this a fairly natural fit.
* '''Drawn Equinox Style:''' Catenna's technical style has evolved through her time on Spira to incorporate both her bowhunting skill from her time among the Zortroa and the dancing training she underwent with Jean. She has combined them both into a unique style, utilizing an asymmetrical ''yumi''-type bow. The Drawn Equinox style is equal parts archery, dance and athletic exhibition, involving rapid movement, high jumps, acrobatic flips and bow attacks from above, with Guardian arcana interspersed to debilitate her targets. It is designed for Catenna to be able to exercise maximum mobility while limiting her opponent's mobility in turn.
 
* '''Saarda-Shanta:''' Otherwise known as the Owlet, or the Great Owl. Saarda-Shanta is a Totem Creature of Celesdue - essentially a sub-spirit - and is at least partly an embodiment of Celesdue's essence. The child of a Totem Bird driven mad by The Demon King's Malice, the Owlet was hatched from an egg saved by the Caravan Kinship and raised from vulnerability, but has since come into her own as Catenna's familiar, companion and friend. When situations are particularly grim, Saarda-Shanta has the ability to expand into her adult form, a huge snowy owl large enough to carry Catenna and a companion on her back. In this form, she's capable of projecting lunar energy in the form of offensive beams.
* '''Beast Bond:''' The Zortroa, long driven off their land by the Kingdom of Elesius, broadly did not follow the path of the Baskar in communing with the Guardians, but instead developed the ability to bond and in some cases even merge with wild monsters. That said, Catenna is notably worse at this than virtually any other Zortroa and has virtually no ability to command beasts outside of her familiar, whose bond with her is more spiritual and rooted in love and care than is typical of Zortroan beastmasters' bonds with their creatures.
** '''Saarda-Shanta:''' Otherwise known as the Owlet, or the Great Owl. Saarda-Shanta is a Totem Creature of Celesdue and is at least partly an embodiment of Celesdue's essence. The child of a Totem Bird driven mad by The Demon King's Malice, the Owlet was hatched from an egg saved by the Caravan Kinship and raised from vulnerability, but has since come into her own as Catenna's familiar, companion and friend.
 
* '''Moonlight Archery:''' An accomplished bowhunter back with her home tribe, Catenna has taken to carrying a bow and arrows as her primary weapon. She doesn't have a specific style but has learned to combine her marksmanship with the agility she learned through her training in dance to inflict damage on her enemies.
 
* '''Swordsplay:''' Catenna's secondary weapon is a simple, curved-grip shortsword she discovered in an old armoury in the Sacred Grounds of Linga. Restored by a blacksmith and set with a moonstone in the hilt, it's a basic weapon but useful enough at close-range combat.

Pinning this young woman down is a challenge. She's evidently not city folk; she speaks seldom, explains even less, and seems more at home in the wilds of Filgaia than anywhere near inns, markets and homes. Even her ethnicity is difficult to actually place. Wandering Filgaia as a Drifter, she brings with her an abiding faith in the Guardians of the land, and the ability to call upon a particular spirit to aid her. But while she has a certain rapport with the natural world and seems sometimes to understand the ways of beasts and monsters, she nevertheless goes through the world alone and with few close friends, and fewer still who understand who Catenna is and why she's chosen a path beneath a lonely moon.

Background

  • Silver Moon Medium: Catenna was raised as a dedicated Zoa Priestess in the service of Celesdue, but found herself in possession of the Silver Moon Medium after discovering a lost temple in the depths of Elru. The Medium grants her a far stronger connection to the Moon Guardian than most and enables powerful Material summons and arcana. It also marks her as Celesdue's chosen High Priestess.
  • Supplemental Mediums: Catenna possesses both a Stone Medium of Lucadia and an Artificial Medium of Rigdobrite.
  • Drawn Equinox Style: Catenna's technical style has evolved through her time on Spira to incorporate both her bowhunting skill from her time among the Zortroa and the dancing training she underwent with Jean. She has combined them both into a unique style, utilizing an asymmetrical yumi-type bow. The Drawn Equinox style is equal parts archery, dance and athletic exhibition, involving rapid movement, high jumps, acrobatic flips and bow attacks from above, with Guardian arcana interspersed to debilitate her targets.

Relationships

Sprite for C1A2/4.

<3

  • Cyre H. Lorentz: "We both understand what it is like to feel like we cannot live up to what was expected of us... we both know how it feels to leave behind everything that we love. Even though he is so carefree, there is a nobility to him... and more than that, there is so much about is that is the same. Perhaps it was fate, that he should be the one that I love...."

Dependents

  • Saarda-Shanta: "I am sorry I could not save her mother. That failure weighs on my heart... and it leaves me with an obligation. And yet, she has chosen to stay with me and contribute as best she can. Sometimes I wonder if there is truly any separation between she and the Lady of the Moon...."

CaraKin

  • Jacqueline Barber: "Jacqueline... no, Jay.... I am forever grateful to her for extending a hand to me when I was alone and full of doubt in a strange place... and I owe her a debt for saving my life when I had thrown it away in vain. Her heart is full of kindness, and she seems always to want to do what is right, even when it is hard for her. I could not ask for more in a friend."
  • Arleph Ardan: "In some ways he reminds me of Ethius with social skills. I am not sure why he does so. Perhaps it is that sense of... otherworldliness...?"
  • Carina Wynne: "She is an energetic one, but most clever in her own way. She seems to be a most worthy companion with a very unique skill, one I could certainly never master. I sometimes wonder if she is perhaps a little bit... too excited for her own good...."
  • Ethius Hesiod: "I feel I know so little about him. At times he seems a mute but reliable companion. And yet there are those flashes of madness, even a thirst for blood. What kind of man was he, that he is capable of such behaviour?"
  • Ivan: "In him I see shades of the life I could have led - that of a weapon born from the womb of mankind. If he has indeed chosen a different path, I owe it to him to help him find his way."
  • Kourin: "She is perhaps more willing to learn than I gave her credit for. Kourin... I wonder how she is bearing the anxieties of returning to a world she seems to despise...?"
  • Mariel: "A precious friend, and one whose wisdom is most valued, along with her kindness. To meet someone so gentle...."
  • Prissa: "Vivacious, clever and quite fun to be around. I'm starting to understand a little more about the world she comes from, and yet, in a way, I feel like I have much more to learn about her."
  • Shalune Amira: "I do not know her yet as well as I should. And yet... she seems to be quite a pleasant young woman, with skills I could never hope to match in mechanical matters. Her heart is kind. I like her."
  • Talia: "A good woman with a kind heart. She has kept Jacqueline safe and well in trying times. I am grateful to her."
  • Tesni Inoue: "She showed up out of the blue and has a strange ARM. Why ask why."

Friends and Acquaintances

  • Alisha Diphda: "It was a cucco, miss."
  • Avril Vent Fleur: "An interesting young woman with a rapport with the Guardians. Perhaps someone I should know better, for what manner of secrets she holds...."
  • Bart Fatima: "A competent enough man, though he seems to be one of those who lives for the apparent. That is fine. He handles himself well. I would travel with him again if need be."
  • Cecilia Adlehyde: "She is an interesting young woman, and seems curious about me for some reason. She seems to see things similarly to how I do."
  • Dean Stark: "He has an energy to him that I find very endearing."
  • Elena: "W-what is it about Granasian priestesses that seems to entice Cyre so?!"
  • Elhaym van Houten: "She seems like a nice young woman, and polite. Quiet, perhaps. But I appreciate quiet in people."
  • Fei Fong Wong: "He certainly seems to have a nobility to him, which I appreciate."
  • Ida Everstead-Rey: "She is a good woman, and I am glad she has found her way out of the shadows. Who knows what the future will hold for her."
  • Jean: "I had no idea she had such talents! Learning from her has expanded my life quite a bit. And I certainly feel more in shape...."
  • Josephine Lovelace: "A woman of considerable talent and competence. I like her."
  • Katyna Reidal: "An interesting Beastwoman from somewhere I do not know. She seems most curious but also quite pleasant in her ways. I like her."
  • Leon Albus: "He is a competent man and goes about his business effectively and without complaining. I can respect that, though less so his deficit of spiritual wisdom and blindness towards matters of faith and heritage. Perhaps he needs to learn."
  • Lily Keil: "She does not say much. Then again, neither do I. She is competent and clever, though. I would partner with her again, should the opportunity come up."
  • Lulu: "While she was forthcoming, she plays much close to the vest and hides much behind sharpness. In a way, that's something I understand and respect. With luck there's something I can do to support her charge."
  • Lunata Croze: "With luck, she will find her way."
  • Maya Schrodinger: "Were it not for her, I would have died in the sunken city...."
  • Morgan Newkirk: "I always feel like he is undressing me with his eyes whenever I run into him, and not in the way Cyre plays at it. It is slightly unsettling, but otherwise he seems competent enough."
  • Noeline: "I wish I knew her more than I do, and perhaps it is an indictment of me that I do not know her so well as Riesenlied. She seems in some way to be more... untouchable, perhaps is the word...?"
  • Riesenlied: "Riesenlied... to think that a Metal Demon could be so loving a person, and so capable of going against the wishes of her fellows. If she can truly become compatible with this world, then I wish to help her find a way...."
  • Rosaline Calice: "There is a small part of me that worries that she is interested in Cyre... but to see that she has become a Hellion... could even someone so sweet and kind be consumed by that power...?"
  • Sephilia Lampbright: "One is sad to see her running free in the streets with her doll. But she seems kind enough, in that earnest manner that young people have."
  • Seraph Boudicca: "A helpful being with what appears to be a good heart. I should like to know her more. I feel a touch of kinship with her, in some ways."
  • Seraph Lanval: "Interesting, and less of a ragamuffin than he lets on...."
  • Tethelle Cirdian: "She has an energy to her, and her story feels similar to why I came to Ignas. I like her and trust her, and I treasure the rare times when I find myself traveling with her."
  • Vin Barrett: "An interesting man... one who walks with the Guardians as well, I think. Baskar, perhaps. He seems... playful. But solid enough."
  • Virginia Maxwell: "...She seems almost more childlike than young Sephilia."
  • Yuna: "She seems to be quite earnest and talented. With luck, she will overcome her trials."

Ambivalent

  • Elvis: "A less odious sort than many of the other Veruni... yet he seems to swing between approachable friend and likely nemesis. I do not quite understand him."
  • Marivel Armitage: "Insufferable. But she is trying to find her way to a good place, and we share many of the same goals. Knowing that helps, in intervals."
  • Matilda Whitehead: "Wasted promise. I am at least glad she chose Odessa over the Veruni."
  • Ryudo: "A horrible, unpleasant man who treats people poorly. While he may be an ally when the occasion arises, I find his attitude dismal and his contempt for my beliefs to be... sadly typical."
  • Vinsfeld Rhadamanthus: "One white conqueror is much the same as another...."
  • White Knight Leo: "To see part of this man's memories... he seems like a man with a very noble heart, who yet carries much pain and conflict with him. I could come to admire him, were his faith not so bent on conversion of the masses...."

F.O.E.

  • Ambrosius: "Perhaps there is more to him than I gave him credit for, though his ideal is anathema to this world.... If he plans to walk the path the other Veruni walk, then he is my foe, and that is all that matters."
  • Berserk: "A mindless brute who met the fate he deserved. I do not enjoy taking a life, but I am glad I could play a part in removing this one from among the living - and though I hesitate to pass such a harsh judgment, I do feel that nothing of value was lost in his demise. Good riddance."
  • Janus Cascade: "Just another mindless nihilist who places his short-term wealth over the continued existence of Filgaia. This world is better off without him."
  • K.K.: "Those who threaten the Guardians themselves will get what they deserve."
  • Kent Hauch: "He and his thugs seem more troublesome than most riff-raff. Perhaps I should have paid more attention...."
  • Krelian: "Another monster...."
  • Seraph Edna: "Using my boyfriend as a chaise lounge is not safe for child."
  • Parbody: "She is unpleasant. The mask is unnerving."
  • Seraph Ragnell: "Suffer."
  • Seraphita: "...Why is this rabbit trying to set me on fire, while also hugging me?"
  • Sin: "Obsession... this should not be."
  • Yarobeleedt: "It is easier to dislike this Metal Demon. I must guard against that tendency - that of basing my dislike on his appearance. But he shows none of the kindness and remorse that I have seen in Riesenlied and even some of the others. I have few qualms about going against him."
  • Zed: "Ugh!"

Sad Priestess in Snow

  • Kaguya: "I held back because I love you. I wished that you could have been a sister who could help build a bridge between our worlds. But I can't let my feelings for you stop me from standing between you and the evil that lies within your ambitions."
  • Lydia Seren: "We will see each other again. My precious star sister...."

Family

  • Riima: "All my life, she taunted and tortured me... is this truly what one should expect of one's older sister? She always seemed to loathe me worse than the others, and seemed to play the most mind games with me. I have met enemies who wish to kill me and enemies who hate what I stand for, but I have met nobody who seems to hate me like Riima does."
