Catarina "Cat" Tyburn is a current resident of Ragmarket and partner of Fire Dancer. She was the second leader of the Raggers and Hanson's ex-girlfriend. She has an accent that gives away her southern island heritage.


Appearance[]

Cat has dark skin, muscular tattooed arms, with high cheekbones, a generous mouth and long, a mass of wiry black curls wrapped with thread into sections. When first meeting Raisa, she wore breeches and a sleeveless vest. Cat has many piercings in her nose and ears, all of them pegged with silver. Her voice is soft and musical, with the cadence of the Southern Islands. She has thief marks on her hands, and blade scars. She jiggles her leg as if she can't sit still. She swears a lot. She has ropy scars on her wrists and ankles that show she'd been in gaol. She had always been thin, and had ragged nails. She drinks like a teamster and used razorleaf.


Personality[]

She maintains a very rough and tough personality, willing to fight at any time. Initially, her motives were money but then shifted to a genuine willingness to help Han and Raisa. After moving into Fellsmarch, she gains a more polished, refined personality through training with Magret Gray. Despite being trained in castle life, she still occasionally acts on her former gang member ways. She initially, like most Vale folk, has prejudices against those upland, but soon ditches those prejudices, bonding with Fire Dancer and eventually befriending the rest of the uplanders, who call her "Catfire." She wanted nothing to do with magic. She was always proud. She is edgy around bluebloods.

Her pride and obstinacy would get her into trouble. She is not the forgiving sort. She takes her job very seriously. She doesn't take criticism well, she always had to know the why and wherefore and who and what.

Plot[]

The Demon King[]

Cat makes her appearance when she catches Han Alister running off with Raisa ana'Marianna, under the alias "Rebecca Morley." She tells Han about how the guards captured some of their gang, and she goes off to rescue them.

The Exiled Queen[]

After Han fled, Cat also fled Ragmarket, as wizards were hunting his former gang members, trying to find him. She reunites with Han in a tavern, where he bails her out of a losing gamble. She initially refuses to go along with Han and Fire Dancer to Oden's Ford to go to school, but secretly follows them. She eventually frees the two from the clutches of the Ardenine Army, and agrees to join them.

She agrees to go to the local Temple School, and is overwhelmed by how much better the living conditions there are in comparison to her former. At Temple School, she discovers she has great talent in music, something which her teachers notice. She eventually falls into the clutches of Micah Bayar, who bribes her into trying to take Han's serpent amulet. After the plot was discovered, she swore unwavering loyalty to Han.

She later learns that Han has left Mystwerk, and agrees to go with Fire Dancer and Night Bird back to Fells.

The Gray Wolf Throne[]

After making it back to Fells, Cat contacts Han, explaining the Wizard murders. Han tasks her with finding more information, as well as to spread rumors about Raisa's return. Later, Han convinces Cat to become one of Raisa's maids and bodyguards. She is instructed on proper royal etiquette by Magret Gray, who although is initially reluctant to do so, eventually befriends the former gang member. Cat takes her duty very seriously, screening visitors and is reluctant to leave the then-Princess Raisa alone. She later becomes the middleman between Han and Flinn and Sarie in an effort to find out who's murdering the wizards.

The Crimson Crown[]

She continues acting as the Queen's bodyguard, maid, and musician and has learned to be wary of Micah Bayar's presence. When informed of Han's supposed "death", she angrily tries to kill Micah, but is restrained by Amon. She then vows to assist Raisa in any way possible in defending the castle from siege. She is later selected as a musician in Han's and Raisa's wedding.

Shadowcaster[]

Cat was the spymaster of the queendom. Two years before the events of Shadowcaster she was killed. Her throat was cut and her body dumped on the Dyrnnewater. She went down fighting, which is the way she would have wanted it.

Relationships[]

Hanson Alister[]

She still refers to Han by his street name "Cuffs" even after he becomes Raisa's bodyguard. She was Han's second when he was streetlord of the Raggers for three years, and they were romantically envolved. She held a grudge against him for leaver her when he left that life behind.

Hayden Fire Dancer[]

Her digs and insults slid right off him. She originally had a persistent prejudice against him for being Clan. He taught her woodcraft, such as tracking and bow hunting. They became a couple while at Oden's Ford and she is possessive of him.

Skills[]

Streetlord[]

She has superior street skills. She has quick, accurate reflexes, and had always been good with blades of all kinds. She quickly learned to skin and dress carcasses. She is also deft with a garrote. She was the savviest street fighter in the realms, it seemed impossible to catch her unawares. She is good at cheating at cards, but is not the best.

Temple School[]

She is skilled with the basilka and could bring someone to tears. She is also apparently a prodigy at playing instruments, being able to soothe the angriest of people with her music. She is skilled at speaking through her instrument.

Etymology[]

Catarina is a Greek name meaning "pure". Tyburn means "place of the elms".
