[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. They had a child, Nikolai, who was seven-eight years old at Komarr.
[edit] Etienne Vorsoisson
Etienne "Tien" Vorsoisson was Ekaterin's first husband and the father of her son, Nikolai. He dies in a breath mask incident during the novel Komarr. During the investigation of Tien's death and his part in a mysterious conspiracy, Imperial Auditor Miles Vorkosigan realizes that he has fallen in love with her, having previously ignored his nascent feelings while she was still Tien's wife. Miles sublimated these feelings by wondering if she might have a sister he could court.
[edit] Lady Ekaterin Vorkosigan
Following Tien's death, Ekaterin had vowed to never remarry, 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; the title is merely the result of her Vor Marriage.
