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

Powers and Abilities

Catenna's sprite in Spira.
  • 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. 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.

Relationships

INTERPRETATIVE NOTE: The phases of the moon do not align one-to-one with a love-hate spectrum, but with intentions and symbols - e.g. a full moon may represent Catenna's feelings both towards someone she loves and someone she hates.

Character Group Mood Comments
Cyre H. Lorentz Caravan Kinship Moon full.png "My dearest heart. We both understand what it is like to live with expectations we feel we cannot meet. We both know what it feels like to be strangers in a far-off land. He has come so far, and I want to be there by his side all the while."
Jacqueline Barber Caravan Kinship Moon full.png "A sister to me, in a way that my kin of blood were never. She is family of choice, and I could not have made a better one. Her kindness and dedication are as remarkable as her humility and modesty."
Ethius Hesiod Caravan Kinship Moon quarter first.png "I feel as though I have begun to understand flashes of him. In some ways he has a perspective that no one else in the Kinship reaches me through. In other ways he is an enigma. I am not sure I fully 'trust' him, but he has not let us down yet."
Ivan Caravan Kinship Moon cres waxing.png "In him I see so much of how I once could have been - a young person whose life was consumed by a devotion to death. I want to help him to let his life blossom. He deserves to experience joy."
Kourin Caravan Kinship Moon cres waxing.png "She has shown herself more willing to learn than I first gave her credit for. I feel such pity for her, knowing the rejection from her mother that I knew from my father. She can find another family in a new Kinship, I hope...."
Mariel Caravan Kinship Moon gibbous waning.png "Her wisdom and kindness are inspiring, in their way. We share much, I think, at least on a spiritual level. I feel as though I can understand her, to a degree."
Talia Caravan Kinship Moon gibbous waxing.png "I am grateful to her for keeping Jacqueline safe. She has done much to make a new life for herself, and I'm not sure she has needed much help. Perhaps the best course is simply to pursue our friendship?"
Matilda Whitehead Caravan Kinship Moon new.png "Matilda has already betrayed us once and has held clear contempt for me for some time. I am slow to trust her again, knowing that she could betray us again at any time. Perhaps I must simply allow myself a fresh start with her."
Ambrosius Veruni Moon new.png "For the longest time I have viewed him as an insurmountable pillar of contempt. But what he showed me recently was a flash of something more. Perhaps he is less an irredeemable obstacle than I had once thought. I will have to reconsider him...."
Cecilia Adlehyde Dawn Chasers Moon gibbous waxing.png "Her connection to the Guardians is deep and profound. Her path will no doubt take her in directions that will help Filgaia in the long run. If I can support her in her journey, then I must."
Dean Stark Wayside Outreach Moon gibbous waxing.png "A young man with boundless energy and a good heart. I hope he can help Riesenlied shape the future she seeks."
Ida Everstead-Rey ARMS Moon cres waning.png "Her heart is in the right place, but her tendency to move into a space and occupy it can be intensely irritating. But I have resigned myself to the fact that she and I simply view the world oppositely - I through the spirit, she through the sciences."
Marivel Armitage Caravan Kinship Moon new.png "Profoundly irritating, sublimely arrogant and best digested in small doses - but dedicated to her cause. So long as Marivel's goals lie in preserving Filgaia, she is my ally. But our fates will intermingle only in that our duties are aligned."
Jean Vile Fiends Moon gibbous waning.png "She taught me so much about her art, but more than that, she has become a friend, in my eyes. And understanding what she went through helps. As she has helped me, I wish that I can help her, when the time comes."
K.K. Crucible Moon full.png "Die."
Kaguya Veruni Moon full.png "I held back against Kaguya because I love her, even knowing that she will betray me and consider me less than human. I feel a profound pity for her. If I could somehow bridge the gulf between us, then...."
Leon Albus Black Wolves Moon cres waning.png "I respect Leon for his dedication and seriousness, but his mindset could not be more different from mine. His pragmatism leaves little room for the spiritual, I think. Our courses are destined to diverge, though not without appreciation."
Lily Keil Black Wolves Moon cres waning.png "She views the world through eyes that see different things first. Sometimes I worry about her, mind. I like her. But I worry about her."
Lunata Croze ??? Moon quarter last.png "I hope that she will find happiness with Jay. Ge Ramtos has placed a painful journey before her, and I understand why she has taken the path she has. She must find her way in her own place and time, and that may lie in places the Kinship cannot go."
Lydia Seren Solaris Moon full.png "My precious star sister. I will not allow the sky people to do as they please with her."
Riesenlied Wayside Outreach Moon full.png "Riesenlied showed me a great deal - enough that I look back on my old mindset about her people with regret. Her heart lies in the best of places. So long as we are bound through ties to Fereshte, so too are our fates intermingled."
Seraph Ragnell Crucible Moon full.png "Her sassy-Ragnell act leaves me cold. I will not accede to her air of affability. As far as I am concerned, she is an existential threat to Filgaia, and I 'will' kill her on sight."
Zed Hyadean Remnant Moon quarter last.png "He irritates me to no end, but I suppose he is not a 'bad' person. He simply seems to be finding his way. It is just a way I find quite pesky and stupid."
