Drawing of Katherine Wolff.
BIOGRAPHY
Katherine is an engineer born 1878 in a world where magic is common but a branch of the government called the Department of Thaumaturgy Control (DTC) enforces a law that forbids any type of magic or magical creature. The DTC has jurisdiction in all of the United Kingdom, specially in the city of London.
Katherine is the daughter of a Norwegian father and an English mother. She has red curly hair and blue eyes. Her father was also an engineer and the person from whom she learned her craft. Her mother was a big supporter of the DTC and slurped up all their propaganda. After a while, Katherine leaves her home for the city — London.
She wants to be an engineer like her father though of course, being female makes this difficult so she dresses and pretends to be a man and tries her luck that way. After struggling to find employment, she stumbles upon J. London who hires her as his assistant. She later learns that he doesn't care whether or not she has balls so no longer has to pretend to a man.
Now, Katherine writes about the magical world she recently discovered through London, with descriptions and diagrams of the creatures and magic she encounters; essentially a journal/record. Throughout her journal are notes, anecdotes and diary entries that reveal her background and the workings of the world around her, including aspects of daily life and details on the actions taken by the DTC.
