Katisha was plump and matronly Nord who lived in Riften in late Second Era. She was married to a smith, had two teenage children, and was perfectly ordinary and respectable — except that she was very fond of cats (and by logical inference, their humanoid counterparts the Khajiit), had a talent for certain kinds of magic, and cultivated rather odd friends. After Therris's betrayal, Barenziah left Riften and never saw Katisha ever again. She is mentioned in The Real Barenziah, Book II.
