''Atarah al'Norahn''

==General== 
Katerine wass an [[Aes Sedai]] of both the [[Red]] and [[Black]] [[Ajah]]s. She wore the shawl for seventeen years, and was been Black Ajah for twelve of those. ({{Prol6}}) 

Katerine had raven-black hair that goes to her waist, and hard eyes set in a sharp face. ({{ns|5}}; {{loc|51}}) She also had a sharp tongue. When Katerine was [[Accepted]], she would often speak acidly to [[novice]]s and other Accepted, though she was milder than milk-water and all obsequious smiles when there were Aes Sedai around. ({{ns|5}}). She was killed in ''[[Tel'aran'rhiod]]'' by [[Egwene al'Vere]] ({{tom|38}})

==Quotes== 
"One day she'll cut herself with that tongue." ([[Siuan]] to [[Moiraine]] about Katerine, {{ns2|Chapter 5}}) 

"Of necessity Black sisters kept themselves hidden, even from each other. Their rare gatherings were held with faces covered and voices disguised. Before Galina, Katerine had known only two to recognize. Orders were left on her pillow, or in a pocket of her cloak, the ink ready to vanish if any hand but hers touched the paper. She had a secret place to leave messages, and dire orders not to try to see who came to take them. She had never disobeyed." (Katerine thinks to herself about the Black Ajah; {{loc2|Prologue}}) 

"We intend to offer him escort to Tar Valon. Once he leaves [[Cairhien (City)|Cairhien]] for Tar Valon, there will be -- a vacuum here." (Katerine to Colavaere about Rand; {{loc2|Chapter 25}}).

“This was not caused by the Amyrlin, it was created by your foolish rebels and their betrayal” (To Egwene, {{tgs2|Chapter 2}})
