Katana

Katana

Katana is a gargoyle from the Ishimura Clan of feudal Japan, and later a member of the Manhattan Clan in the modern age.

History

Katana was hatched at an unspecified time, though it is known that it was at some point during Japan's feudal period. Most likely she was trained in Bushido and learned to wield a Japanese sword, a katana, from which she derives her name. Several decades after her hatching, Brooklyn arrives during his TimeDancer travels and the two gargoyles eventually decide to become mates. Katana continues on the quest with Brooklyn to return to his home from that point onward. She and Brooklyn will have at least two biological children: Nashville and Tachi, and she will become a part of the Manhattan Clan after Brooklyn's return to the Eyrie Building.

Characteristics

Katana is a female gargoyle with pale blue skin, a beak, though as a gargoyle of the Ishimura Clan she shares some of the regional anatomical peculiarities common among that clan, such as black hair, paired horns, and a reduction in wing, finger and toe digits.

She wears a yellow kimono and wields two katanas on her back, and two fans on her belt.

It is also worth noting that she is very protective of her egg. She got defensive when Angela asked to hold it, and she has a back pouch and takes the egg into battle.

Katana was already known by that name when she first met Brooklyn.[1]
