History:
Catherine MacMichaels came to her chrysalis late, but she'd been living in dreams long before she became one.  Her nose barried in books riding the T to and from her job at the Massachussets State House, she dreamed of exitement, and of importance.  For the fae of Boston, there was such a thing as too much exitement through.  When the Parliment of Dreams installed Peraniya Ailil to the seat of the Duchy of Pewter, the heart of the Kingdom of Apples most sidhe of lands a rebellion was inevitable. 

With bloody assault after bloody assault, Peraniya's troops attempted to capture Boston from Duke Tymon.  In battle, Lady Claudia was the kind of leader that people would follow, nobles, commoners, even dreamers caught up in the city's defense.  But blood and death take their tools, and after routing an assault through Havard Square, Tymon released her from her oaths of service and sent her away from the disbuted duchy, knowing in his heart that the civil war had already taken too much of a toll on his young friend.

Personality:
Lady Claudia is the kind of woman who's mind and ability to inspire troops is far more important than her ability with a sword.  Though it hangs from her hip, she is more likely to call stand back and take the long view of a battle ... physical or mental.  This does not mean she is unwilling to get bloody, or even to be present for dirty affairs, but only that she will stand back and ask questions, while someone else takes measures to make sure the lady is answered.
