During the Juka wars against Yew, a force of these monsters ransacked and burnt the farm Killing one of Magnus's sons and injuring the old farmers arm badly, Katrine survived unhurt by hiding in a near by Yew Tree. Magnus lashed out and blamed Katrine for the Juka destroying his life, saying she left the gate unlocked, Magnus banished her from his house, into a town at War. Not knowing where else to turn, she headed towards the local militia base and decided to try and make up for the guilt that she felt, from Magnus's accusations. The first few days in the militia where the most terrifying days in her life, but also was to shape her future, after a push from the guardsmen to Yew town centre, killing many Juka, she was asked to help a young girl find her friends, but to her surprise, the young girl was part of a plot, and she led Katrine into a trap, luckily for Katrine the Marksmen Julie Frostbite walked by and found them before they could drag her away, scaring the brigands away Julie took Katrine to the Stone Keep tavern where she first met Lorick. Katrine felt drawn to him but was too timid to say anything, but he helped her, and taught her a great deal about guardsmen and the marksmen. Katrine managed to quickly advance through the ranks, and before the end of the war against the Juka had gained the rank of footman. Soon after she had her first large skirmish against another human group, this was a very traumatic time, and after the battle she sat weeping on the field, bodies all about her. A young Trainee by the name of Christian approached her after she had been a footman for a few weeks, Katrine had been kind to him and helped him out against the other footman, who she saw where abusing there power. Christian gave her a small bracelet and said that he loved her, unsure what to do, as her heart still wanted Lorick, but he was a noble marksmen, and she was just a farm girl, she decided to give the young trainee a chance. They where happy together for a while until just after she had reached the rank of rookie guard. Then she began hearing tales of Christian doing things that he shouldn't. The first she ignored, the second she confronted him, and the third time, just after she had finally become a marksmen, she turned to Lorick for support, an argument and some unpleasant events followed, but also the happiest moments in her life.
