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, which 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 Jander the opportunity to snatch the Icon away from her. In the ensuing fracas, Katrina badly injured and most likely infected Leisl with lycanthropy. However, Leisl stabbed Katrina in the back several times with a silver-bladed, magic Ba'al Verzi dagger, 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]
