EYE COLOR :: Warm brown, doe-eyed.
HAIR COLOR :: Medium brown

MARITAL STATUS :: Unwed and unattached
FAMILY TIES :: Father | Charles Montjoy || Mother | Isabel Montjoy || Brother | Louis Montjoy || Twin brother | Christopher Montjoy || Sister | Alice Monjoy || Sister | Marie Montjoy 
CHILDREN :: None

TITLES :: Lady Montjoy, Jackdaw
OCCUPATION :: Noblewoman and Rook in the Rogue Court
MARKINGS :: Standing at 5’5”, Katherine has medium brown hair which falls past her shoulders and is usually tied back out of her face. Sporting an hourglass figure, warm brown eyes, and an easy smile- Kate has never struggled for suitors. Though she considers herself to be attractive, Kate still considers herself to be more plain than striking, pretty to look at but easily forgotten once she left.
LIKES :: When a plan pans out, five minutes peace from Kit's chittering, the look in a man's eye when she turns down a suitor, fair haired men with piercing eyes and gentle smiles, soft women with curly hair, freedom, the feel of wind in her hair, and spicy food. 
DISLIKES :: Meaningless small talk, arrogant men, being told what to do or how to act, ink stains, early mornings,sweet things, and crowded rooms.
GRAMARYE ::  Dream walking, Kate can enter other's dreams.  At first she could only manage it when they were in the same room, which meant she practised a lot on Kit when they were growing up.  Now though, she can enter almost anyone's dream, though it is easier if they are close by or emotionally close to each other.  She is completely lucid whilst in a dream, and knows she's dreaming- but when she wakes it is like she has been dreaming (which, technically she has been) and the memories are often hazy and half remembered.  Kate cannot physically harm anyone within a dream, but she can inflict pain that feels real.  Often the people who's dreams she visits will not know they are dreaming.  She can shape dreams somewhat- but as with anything else, it is a lot easier if she's near to them physically or emotionally.

PERSONALITY ::  The eldest daughter of a noble family, Kate was taught (and taught well) from a young age to be an agreeable wife. She is demure and soft spoken, able to command the attention of the room with her voice at little more than a whisper. Skilled in music and art, well-read in the classics, and fluent in the fashionable languages. Matches have been considered for her hand, but Charles has yet to find a husband he deems suitable for his oldest daughter- and he is conscious time is running out. Kate has been raised to accept this is her lot in life, and accepts it gracefully. A dutiful daughter. At least, that is Kate. The Rogue Court allows her a little more freedom, more room to breathe. Where she can be more self-assured. Where she can put her intelligence to more use than conversations at dinner.

HISTORY :: The Montjoy twins have been inseparable since their youth. When Christopher was getting himself into adventures (and misadventures), Katherine was close behind to help talk him out of them or at least to mitigate the damage he caused. This is a trend that has continued into their adulthood.

    When Kit thought the Rogue Court sounded like fun, Kate went in too- she said it was to stop him winding up with a noose around his neck. But really she was intrigued by the opportunity of a life for herself, a life that was more than an arranged marriage. So when Kit got bored of this adventure as Kit does, Kate stayed and worked her way up. She learned to steal, pick locks, she learned the skills not just to survive in this world- she learned the skills to thrive.

    Now she lives two lives, walks between two worlds. Kate is the noblewoman at court, seeking a suitable match to please her father. But she is also one of the most profitable Rooks in the guild. It is a dangerous path to walk, but it keeps her heart beating and her mind from stagnating so it suits her just fine.

FACTS ::

• Enjoys gardening but doesn't get a lot of time to indulge this hobby.
• Seems ruthless, but there is a heart there somewhere.
• Keeps birds.
• Has a resting 'I'm surrounded by idiots' face when not at court.
• Liked the idea of being a wife once upon a time, having a family, settling down, but then she was constantly disappointed by men and the idea of spending her life with one seemed less and less appealing.
• Carries sleeping aids, is pretty adept at putting herself to sleep at this point.  Kit is worried she's becoming addicted to them.
