Introduction

She is also a member of Keepers of Athena's Thimble, and enjoys crafting in various forms, including sewing, leatherworking, lucet, embroidery, and weaving. Previously she had been involved in fencing and belly dance.

Persona
Mostly 12-14th century Europe, with a few variances. She wears what she likes and is comfortable in, and what fits the event/location. Might as well try to fit in. Recently she has started venturing into late period German
Pronounced: Cuh-tayne
The H is essentially silent in the name. The original name was actually an Irish surname (so of course it would have silent letter), but ended up becoming a German given name when registered, so a German surname (Reiter) went along with it.

Court Will
She does not specifically have an ICOP. Generally she is fine with being surprised for awards, however, she would prefer a writ if a peerage were to ever happen. Since she makes garb, she would obviously need to make something fitting for the event.
The best people to contact about what events she would be at are Ygraine of Kellswood, Li Kung Lo, Valerian of Somerset, or Duarcaín MacWard
