Katrina Yakovlena Pulchenka

Born approximately 489 BC[1] Katrina Yakovlena Pulchenka, also known as Katya[2] or Trina[3], was a werewolf agent, spy, and lover of Count Strahd von Zarovich. In return for her cooperation, she received wizardry training and spell knowledge from Strahd.[4]

Upon the count's orders, Katrina seduced and spied upon Alexi "Sasha" Petrovich. Though she discovered his covert vampire hunting activities, she concealed this fact from Strahd. Katrina was manipulating Sasha to go after Strahd's vampires slaves, to whom she saw as romantic rivals.[5]

In 500 BC, Alexi, Jander Sunstar, and Leisl made a stand against Strahd. In the conflict, Katrina manipulated Alexi into dropping the Icon of Ravenloft before revealing her true and hideous nature. However, Katrina turned on Strahd when he tried to make Leisl into a vampire, which gave Jandar the opportunity to snatch the Icon away from her. In the ensuing fracas, Katrina badly injured and most likely infected Leisl with lycanthropy. However, Katrina stabbed Katrina in the back several times, causing the latter to flee.[6]

In the aftermath, Katrina was left waiting for Strahd's reawakening, sure that he would forgive her transgression.[7]

  1. ↑ Vampire of the Mists 180, Strahd comments in only 10 years of life had Katrina become as ruthless as he was (incidentally making her mature at twice the rat of a normal human). VotM p. 193 says it was 14 years since the burning of Burgomaster Kartov's cottage. The burning of the cottage marks a decade's passing since the arrival of Jander Sunstar, as Alexi is 10 (p. 143) and Martyn is in his 10th year of establishing the Cult of the Morninglord (p. 134). Both Anastasia's pregnancy (p. 128-129) and Martyn's religious inspiration (p. 101) occur the same year Jandar arrives in Ravenloft, which is 475 BC (p. 267).
