Characters from Prequel

Katia Fucking Managan
The protagonist of the comic, a female Khajiit who may or may not become the Champion of Cyrodil.


 * The Alcoholic: A recovering one.
 * Ambiguous Disorder: She has legitimate difficulty understanding social situations; most likely justified because of her really shitty upbringing.
 * An Axe to Grind: Lacking alternatives.
 * Badass: Becoming one.
 * Break the Cutie
 * Broken Bird: She gets better once people start putting some trust in her, but up to that point she's basically little more than a nervous sobbing wreck.
 * Can't Hold Her Liquor
 * Off the Wagon
 * Really Gets Around
 * Cloudcuckoolander: Only because of the audience typically, though during a brief segment where perspective flips to Quill-Weave then back, it's shown she can be just as odd on her own.
 * Cosmic Plaything
 * Dark and Troubled Past: Her life is really shitty and the story has only taken place over the course of about a week, which has also been pretty shitty to her.

 * Determined Defeatist: Katia exemplifies the trope to a T.
 * How Do I Shoot Fire?

 * Perpetual Poverty: Enforced by being robbed twice thus far
 * Ping Pong Naivete: Part of being a Cloudcuckoolander and also But Thou Must for certain elements of the plot.

Audience
The whirling tempest of contradictory advice that somehow found its way into Katia's head.


 * Broken Base: A trademark of the Audience is its inability to come to a consensus. This invariably leads to fragments of Katia's subconscious swearing to the Nine Divines that the 'majority' of commands opposed an action that Katia has taken.
 * Chaotic Stupid
 * The Kid With the Remote Control: Although not to the degree some elements of the Audience would like. Katia remains the ultimate arbiter of her actions, with the Audience merely providing suggestions in the back of her mind.
