History

Katja, like any other uplifted anthro, began life as a regular horse, though her destiny would be far different than her herd. When she was four years old, one night she was taken from her herd, having been tranquilized, awakening in a dark, cold cell. She was soon dragged out of it, despite fighting against her captors, they forcibly uplifted her, ignoring her painful cries, as her body changed. Eventually she passed out.

Waking up, she was terrified, to say the least. She was back in the cell, alone, with a body that suddenly didn’t work at all the way she was used to. The door opened, in her terror, Katja tried to scramble away from it, only to see another dragged in, while she also looked similar to her, she was much larger than Katja. Her captors dropped the other one in the middle of the room then left, leaving Katja alone with the other. She cautiously approached the other, not knowing what to expect. Seeing her awakening, Katja felt the other mare’s terror, much like her own. They tried comforting each other as best they could, not knowing what happened to them or why.

There the pair stayed, loosing track of how long they’d been there, their captors only leaving food. They both were forced to relearn how their bodies worked, trying to eat, move, and everything else.

One day sometime later, they both heard some new sound, the smell of fire and blood grew thick in the air. Panicking, they held each other as the door was opened once again, but this time, it wasn’t their captors. What the pair didn’t know, was that this was a group of mercenaries, who’d been hired to find a wealthy family’s kidnapped daughter. But having found the pair of horses, cold, filthy and terrified, they weren’t just going to leave the two of them behind, so with a lot of coaxing, Katja and the large grey mare that had become her friend were helped out of that cold hell, soon finding themselves cleaned, warm and wrapped in blankets in the mercenaries’s ship. They were in one of the small cabins, and Katja happened to get a look out the viewport, and what she saw, fascinated her. She had always looked up to the sky at night back in her herd, but this…. She was so enthralled by what she saw, that a sudden touch startled a whinny out of her, her head whipping around, seeing it was one of those that had rescued her and her marefriend. That one made a series of noises, causing her ears to perk toward him, however, she couldn’t make sense of them. The human seemed to sense this, and back off, eventually leaving Katja and the grey mare alone again. The next couple days followed this pattern, with the humans trying to teach Katja and the grey mare how to speak their language, she even managed to learn a couple.

Eventually, the ship landed, the mercenaries leading the pair of horses to another building, where they left the pair. Katja later learned this place was called an orphanage, and both she and Kolorsha (as the grey mare eventually called herself) spent the next few years in it, learning language, history, and everything else they needed to learn. Despite their growing separate interests, Katja and Kolorsha remained fast friends, their shared experience having brought them together in a way no one could understand.

Katja had hated what she felt during her captivity, she swore she’d never be that helpless again. That, and her continued fascination with space led her to the military, specifically the Nepselian Star Navy, where she encountered resistance to her application to become a fighter pilot. Determined, Katja persisted, asking for a chance to prove herself, eventually getting it, being accepted into flight school where she indeed proved she had what it took.

While she was able to become a pilot, she was frustrated that her command seemed reluctant to let her do what she’d signed up for, something she frequently complained about to Kolorsha. It was after one such session, near the end of Katja’s contract, where Kolorsha posed an idea to her. Kolorsha had joined with a newly established school located on the homeworld of the New Dusk Conclave, formerly S6, and being as new as they were, they were looking for all types. Intrigued, Katja signed on after her former contract expired, hopefully she’d actually get the change to do what she’d signed up for…..
