Notes and Trivia

Katerina’s tale begins far from the USA. She was born in a very small town named Sertolovo in Russia. Large forests and trees surround the small township, and as a small child, Katerina had fun exploring with the other children. She had a sister named Yulia. Yulia was only seven when Katerina was seventeen years old, and in that year their lives changed forever. Just as Katerina had done in her childhood, so too did her sister and the other children play in the woods. However, one day Yulia and some of the other kids vanished. They went into the woods and did not return. The police did a search, and some of the townsfolk volunteered, yet those children were never found.

Fiery and tenacious, Katerina vowed to search the woods every day until she could find Yulia. Her distraught parents saw this as a way for the older teen to vent her emotions, and within a few months life returned to normal. Katerina, meanwhile, regardless of weather, scoured the woods relentlessly. Eventually, she found a shoe belonging to Yulia! She searched the area, and found something unbelievable! A hut stood in the nearby forest- yet it stood on two legs! The large legs appeared as those of a bird, and she stumbled out of the woods up to it. Standing tall, there was no way to reach the door. Bewildered, Katerina ran back into the trees and waited. During that time, as she sat crouched in the cold, wet woods, she tried to form a plan. If she went back, no one would believe her, and in her heart, she knew that Yulia was inside the impossible house. Just before night fall, the house suddenly shifted. It took a step back with each leg and then lowered itself to the ground like a hen in a nest. A moment later, the door opened.

Katerina readied the only weapons she had- a small pocket knife and a piece of wood about the size of a baseball bat she had picked up from the forest floor. From the door emerged a beautiful woman! She had never seen so beautiful and tragic a woman in her life. The woman took a few steps out and sniffed the air, then she peered about as if she could smell Katerina. She knew she had stumbled upon Baba Yaga, an ancient witch, but even facing certain death, Katerina refused to let her sister go and she darted out from the trees towards the woman! Only she knows how she managed it, but Katerina walked away from the fight that night and brought her sister’s lifeless body to her parents. She refused to talk about where she found Yulia. The witch had appeared to use the souls of children to give her eternal youth and beauty. At Yulia’s funeral, several Ministry of Defence vehicles arrived. Soldiers leapt out and took Katerina away from her terrified and broken parents.

Again, only she knows what they wanted or did. Perhaps the Russians have their own BDA. In the end, Katerina proved to be invaluable at tracking and defeating witches. Eventually her path led her to the United States, and it did not take the BDA long to hear about the spirited hunter. Now, though not a demon hunter, Katerina hunts mages, witches, and necromancers across America with ferocious tenacity.
