Kathra, being a fire-based personality, is fierce in her passions, but sometimes quite volatile in her moods. She is also extraordinarily stubborn and is not a very good person to anger. During the Saal'Ku/Dari Saga, she forms a friendship and then a sexual relationship with FPC runner/merchant Eryk Dimitri, one based more on lust than love. They stuck together through their early roamings with the Crimson Nova, their search for Kathra's brother Kiril, and their return to Xarsil, where they fought for their lives against the Dromi, his Seekers, and the new threat of Daera, the tanu emissary. Soon afterwards though, they seperated over petty arguments, and for several months didn't even see one another. It wasn't until both Daera and Saal'Ku returned, kidnapping Eryk and Kiril to force Kathra's cooperation, that they saw each other again, and it wasn't until Saal'Ku killed Eryk that Kathra realized she cared for him still. In a fit of rage she lashed out at the woman responsible for the deaths of her parents so many years ago and now the death of her lover, and killed her. Daera captured Kathra soon after and attempted to infect her with the tanu virus, but instead discovered that Kathra was pregnant with a half-human, half-renjiri child - her's and Eryk's. The hybrid physiology of her child prevented the infection and Daera's unawareness of it kept her occupied long enough for Kathra and Kiril to be rescued and Daera captured by the Dromi. Feeling a new, posthumous appreciation and love for Eryk, she returns home to Khursinhi to have her baby. She also harbors a near obsession with her brief relationship with Eryk as her epitomy of a partner for the rest of her life. This pic is sort of a tribute to Kathra's feelings for Eryk after his death.
