katerina, too, is scared; but she is more scared of herself, of what she is, and of what she isn't. (everything is about the fear of the self, except when it isn't, in which case it is about the fear of what the self is not, and cannot be.) she copes, very poorly, with this what-she-is-what-she-isn't with morphine, and that doesn't help (addiction muddies even more the shapes of what-you-are-what-you-are-not). she speaks in tongues, often, that scares her. She wants to throw herself into being a vessel, an electrical conductor almost: she cannot be for a child, so she desperately try to be for prophecies, for words of the Earth; hence why the Rat Prophet so easily slips between her fractures. she's a very extreme person, where aglaya is an extremely measured person (so measured that the smallest of earthquakes sends her tumbling down). katerina lives with a big, big hollow where should fit what the town has considered her "duty", which is a Mistress heir, and instead all sorts of things come in its place. anotha one of my personal hcs is that she does value the Herb Brides a lot, first because she believes her visions come from the earth so she's like... communicating with their mom, basically, but also because a good part of the Kin rites is very into the Mother thing... with mother earth/boddho/humanized earth/not to psychoanalyze this game but the abattoir is very Womb-like (all caves are frankly!) (and artemy's voyage in it is him literally Going To Meet Mom/Where He Is From For Real)/the common <O> brand/sigil with meanings of birth-motherhood-cycle-earth, + my personal hcs that many of the brides are midwives [they canonically are but I'm Pushing It Some More For Fun]. so I think she gravitates towards the brides because she thinks that maybe she could get their blessings and maybe by some miracles eventually have a Mistress Heir... and technically it works a lil since Clara her adoptive daughter crawled out of the earth so <3 just keep going ladies she is most scared of time.

(Kinda gave up mid way I wish I could render it better buttttt do you see the VISION. stratt forever in isolation jail…. only ryland grace as her companion… he’s always there in her peripheral… because she couldn’t imagine him being elsewhere yo)

"And… not now, but still think about future cooperation with the Inquisition."

Sketch from a while ago based on a Slovak folk ballad "Ringére". About Death coming for a young man who refuses to go with her because he wants to marry first. To which the Death replies, he can marry her; she is all dressed in white anyway. Not sure if I'm ever gonna finish this, but I've always wanted to draw something inspired by the song.

The Humble Girlies really do just get lumped together into the same quest all the time.
