Abilities
With respect to her upbringing, she's not afraid of hard labor. Later acquired was a more mischievous set of skills, a bit of pickpocketing here, some lockpicking there, and a lot of fighting owing to her larger than average frame. Some shooting skills were acquired during troubled times in her home country. Most recently she has some experience leading and organizing. Aside from all that it's normal stuff really, cooking and sewing for day to day life and such.

History
Even in a time with strict separation of the roles occupied by men and women in society, Katalina did not have the luxury of not working. Of course, even if she did have the chance to avoid work, it would have been very hard to convince her not to. Not particularly caring for social conventions of the time, she would work, fight, or steal as circumstances called for. Into her late teens, she fell in with a group of trade unionists. When the state responded to growing organization amongst workers with violent repression the unions eventually turned to revolutionary tactics, and Katalina with them. Through this time in her life she learned not only the importance of cooperation but also the methods involved in peaceful dissent as well as eventually armed struggle, even if her movement did not succeed. Recognizing Ashmoor to be a place with the necessary public character for change but a lack of organization, she recently moved to the city with little more than a bag of clothes, her meager life's savings, and a trusty little sawn-off shotgun that had seen her through hard times.
