Empress Katya maintains a strict morning routine. It creates a sense of order in her busy days and provides her the stability that is her backbone. Her father had long drilled into her the importance of discipline. With such a rigid schedule in place of her daily life, Katya can easily devote her energy towards whatever situation arises from the pit of domesticated snakes she interacts with every day.
Around 7 am in the morning, Kora knocks on the door, inquiring whether the empress is awake. She always is awake by then, the light filtering in from her open window waking her up naturally. As befitting of her status, Katya's bedroom is one of a kind, the spacious room dominated by a large chamber bed with deep red curtains, like blood. The decor is minimal but clearly states her status with gold filigree and fancy carvings.
