> [!INFO] STATUS: ENDANGERED > In the ancient dwarven stronghold dam Thunderhold, in a region about to be under siege by hordes of the dead. ![[portrait_popcorn.png|400]] Born as the first, and only, daughter to Senor and Senora Gatos of the notorious Gatos Family, Palomita was the princess of the familia. Growing up her family tried to keep her away from the true nature of her family's business but by the time she was enrolled in church school the rumors of their family business were strewn about. Many of the children were told by their parents to avoid her due to her family's dealings. When she confronted her father about the rumors, he laughed and denied them but realizing her loneliness he told her to just be herself and friends will come. A few weeks passed and her father’s words rang true although she had no idea why as she did nothing different (*her father 100% did not make some… ”suggestions” to other parents*). As she came of age, however, Popcorn resisted her father's requests that she make a good marriage and further the family's interests, and after a conflict that came to blows, she was told she was to report to a nearby nunnery, to keep her safe and teach her to be a well mannered Tabaxi. In her mind, however, this was neither the safest of choices nor desirable in any way. That night Palomita packed her bags, wrote a letter, and set out on her own journey. Now, through virtue of mercenary work, she has found her way into a global conspiracy, made fast friends with a man made of metal, and is racing towards the end of all things with a song and a battle axe.
