After many Ages of marital bliss, Kateri and Robin Goodfellow began to drift apart. Both remained close friends, but their marriage no longer had much meaning. Too many things filled their lives, and both became engaged in new endeavors. The Puck took up a fight with his fellow Tricksters, and Kateri fell in with the Ma-e nation for a long time, specifically the group known as the "Fox Cult."
For Ages, foxes represented the Dreamer God, but since the coming of the Nightmare God, their role has shifted somewhat. Between the Beast God, the Flame Divine, the Nightmare Incarnate, and the Dreamer, foxes have been appropriated from many corners. The Fox Cult built a small alliance of those who followed the Beast God, the Dreamer, and the Flame Divine, and Kateri became active with their goals.
A secret war began with the forces of Nightmare and its allies, called by those aware of it "the Fox Wars." On Shem, where Names are the whole of a thing, symbols become important in conveying meaning, and all sides of this war are simply trying to claim ultimate ownership of this particular symbol.
As a child, she learned she was a changeling early on, growing into adulthood almost normally, but remaining young in the way of faeries once she was mature. Wandering, nothing much holding her attention, she came into a Gifted bow from an elven archery contest, she picked up a little magic, she generally had a little fun...
Until she fell in with the Messiah of Hope, & the world chnaged. Soon, she was fighting with the faeries against the tides of darkness, & afterward, she found herself amidst world politics & problems. Her playful nature persevered for millenia, though, & she began learning new skills & tricks as she went.
She met a caerthorin named Pather, a true keeper of mysteries, whom she fell for completely. They had a son, William, who was raised as a caerthorin (as Kateri did not want him to suffer the fear of the Wild Hunt in the coming darkness). When the faeries escaped from Shem, neither husband nor child could follow. The father, shortly after, was killed in the war against the forces of Terror, & William became an agent of St. Theresa.
Then, the Age of Terror began, & William became Runner 8, then much later, the Champion of Silence. His death crushed Kateri, & she returned to Shem during the final war a much changed woman. No more the trickster, she took up the title the Archer. Her bow felled thousands in the wars, & her services to the side of good were rewarded with this choice: She could return to Second Shem & found the faerie city there, she could enter the Promised Land for eternity, or she could remain in the Summer Country as part of the faerie court. Unable to face the pain of the memories Shem would hold, but unready for the afterlife, she chose to stay in the fay court.
She took to studying & training, mostly, but also to attending the real matters of faerie court. She became a friend to Jerenel himself, & blessed by him, she met a real trickster, Robin Goodfellow. Upon their first meeting, he had her laughing til she cried, & soon the two became involved. They married, & had 3 sons, the Triplets of Trouble.
