Ekaterin Vorsoisson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ekaterin Vorsoisson is a character in Lois McMaster Bujold's sci-fi series, the Vorkosigan Saga.

Her character is first introduced with the Vorsoisson surname, though it changes to Vorkosigan when she marries Miles. The person will be referred to as Ekaterin.

[edit] Ekaterian Vorvayne

Ekaterin was born to the (presumably) low Vor family, the Vorvaynes. She is the Niece of Lord Auditor Professor Dr. Vorthys.

[edit] Madame Ekaterin Vorsoisson

When she married Etienne Vorsoisson at a young age, her name changed, though the Vorsoissons were still (presumably) low Vor, and thus she did not gain the title Lady. This marriage was troubled and is a major plot element to the book Komarr.

[edit] Lady Ekaterin Vorkosigan

Following Tien's death, Ekaterin had vowed to never remarried, but the hero Miles Vorkosigan eventually wins her over and marries her. She thus gains the title Lady as the Vorkosigans are the very definition of High Vor. To clarify, Ekaterin was not pursuing the title "Lady" as such; these are merely the results of Vor Marriages being listed.
