Known Background: Shortly after the end of WWII, Eastern European wanderers and nomads again began living their lives without fear of persecution from the Nazi oppressors. While not as large of a victim demographic as the Jews, the Gypsy population was also captured and placed into the death camps. As such, the Romanoff tribe had counted their lucky stars at being able to gather once more and prepare to celebrate the birth of the first child born after the oppression. That luck ran out, however, on the night of the baby girl's dedication, when the encampment was overrun by a werewolf pack. The entire caravan was annihilated, with the sole exception of the newborn, which the pack alpha female took pity on and adopted as her own. For fifteen years, she raised the girl as her own cub, teaching her the ways of the werewolf pack. On the fifteenth anniversary of her kidnapping, the Alpha Female turned the girl into a werewolf. Katrina helped keep the pack in line and well fed, but eventually felt the call of travel and moved to the United States. When she left, the Alpha Female passed on to her the Feral Book, an ancient text that supposedly kept track of the werewolf lineage of old. Establishing her own pack in the states, they traveled across the country, until coming to rest in a forest just outside Rockford, Illinois in the latter part of the 90's. It was there that Katrina met and transformed Howard Saunders, finding him an appealing mate. Her plan backfired, however, when he turned on the pack immediately afterward and killed all but her. It was that night that she dedicated herself to vengeance against Howler. Now known as Beastia, she delved into the Feral Book and strove to learn the ancient secrets, as well as old gypsy magic. Mastering a merger of the two, she developed a way to trap a werewolf in the form of a wolf, becoming the first of her kind to master the transformation. She struck out to find Howler, briefly joined the Outcasts in order to face him again, and used her new gift to inflict her vengeance. In the process of things, she managed to lose the Feral Book. Now, she waits for a chance to torture the fallen hero further, as well as searches for a new pack to lead.

Personality: Beastia is a cold, calculating animal. She takes great joy in her ability to kill and maim, as well as her "rightful" place as a pack leader. She believes that the werewolf is the superior to all other creatures, even over other forms of lycanthropes. As such, it makes her an unlikely ally with even the most brutal and evil of villains. Her desire for bloodshed is second only for her disdain for Howler, whom she sees as a traitor to the pack and an ingrate of the gift that she bestowed upon him. She has dedicated herself to his slow, agonizing torture and death.

Powers/Tactics: Beastia is an animal of both nature and habit. She tends to prefer the hunt and thrives on the thrill of the kill. She prefers to work alone or in a pack of her own kind, but only with herself leading. She has been trained to avoid the notice of the mundane world, especially since the influx of superhuman activity. She fights tooth and claw, and having mastered a personal fighting style that makes her increased strength even more effective. If given the chance, she will go for the kill, and relish her victim's screams.

Appearance: When in her werewolf form (her form of choice), Beastia stands at just over six feet, nine inches and weighs roughly 440 lbs. Her body is covered in a fine brown fur with a sandy-blonde mane of hair. She facial structure is very wolf-like in form, with definitive animalistic traits in her legs and claws. In her human form, which she only assumes with dire necessity, she is around 5'1 and 110 lbs. She appears to be an attractive young woman in her mid-twenties with light brown hair and a well-toned build. When speaking, a hint of a European accent can be heard, sounding vaguely Russian in nature.

Beastia was created and designed by Jim Caswell. She is an NPC.
