Witch - Phenex Physiology - Katherina is a Phenex, meaning she has the abilities of pyrokinesis, telepathy, animancy, portal creation, and longevity.

Etymology

 * Katherina comes from the Greek name Αἰκατερίνη (Aikaterine). The etymology is debated: it could derive from an earlier Greek name Ἑκατερινη (Hekaterine), itself from ἑκάτερος (hekateros) meaning "each of the two"; it could derive from the name of the goddess Hecate; it could be related to Greek αἰκία (aikia) meaning "torture"; or it could be from a Coptic name meaning "my consecration of your name".
 * Lycoris is supposedly related to Greek λυκοφως (lykophos) "twilight" or λυκαυγές (lykauges) "morning twilight, dawn", derived from λυκος (lykos) "wolf" and αυγη (auge) "dawn, daylight". It was used by Latin poet Cornelius Gallus as a pseudonym for the actress-courtesan (Volumnia) Cytheris. A genus of flowering plants in the Amaryllis family is named after her.
 * Rainard comes from the Germanic name Raginald, composed of the elements ragin "advice" and wald "rule". The Normans (who used forms like Reinald or Reinold) brought the name to Britain, where it reinforced rare Old English and Norse cognates already in existence. It was common during the Middle Ages, but became more rare after the 15th century.
