For her background photo, I chose a dagger since this is her weapon of choice throughout the novel while she is seen as this 18-year-old girl whose gift is the ability to kill.
Her handle is just @katsa_lady. I chose to do her last name first because she is not the stereotypical lady throughout this novel, gentle and sweet.
Her bio reads, "I will shove your nose into your brain if you touch me." This is because she did this to a man who she did not like due to his mistreatment of women. However, he was smitten with her and when he touched her thigh, she lost it and bashed his nose into his brain, killing him.
I have her account following three other accounts. The first is the US Army. This is because when Katsa was being trained, she practiced with groups of eight to ten soldiers at a time. This account represents that. The second is Ben Stein for the reason that he is depicted as a very bland man that does not laugh or smile. Katsa tends to be very stoic, so she has that in common with him. The third is the Battered Women's Shelter. We see Katsa wanting to stand up for women multiple times throughout the novel. I feel that this follow was extremely important to showcase an important part of Lady Katsa's personality.
I even included one post that included a portion of the lyrics to "Versace" because it says something about Medusa and Lady Katsa somewhat reminds me of Medusa.
Here is her Twitter Account: https://twitter.com/katsa_lady
I like how you have Katsa following the battered women's shelter. I think this is very fitting to her character, especially since she really wants Bitterblue to learn to defend herself.
ReplyDeleteHi Melissa,
ReplyDeleteI certainly agree that Katsa would be invested in organizations like battered women's shelters as she is deeply concerned with women's safety (from men) throughout the novel. I like the fan art image of Katsa. It struck me as odd that several of the covers for Graceling depict her with long, flowing hair. The Ben Stein you followed is an ABC news editor, so I am kind of confused by that one. I like the medusa lyrics, as I would agree that Cashore's novels are concerned with images of the monstrous feminine, which Medusa evokes, but I would like to see a few more tweets from Katsa.
