Catti-brie

Catti-brie is a female human and a friend of Drizzt Do'Urden. She is a member of the Companions of the Hall.

Appearance
Catti-brie tops at about 5'6 and has thick auburn hair.

Equipment
Catti-brie is armed with the bow Taulmaril and the sentient drow-made sword Khazid'hea, or "Cutter". She possesses a magical cat's-eye circlet gifted to her by Lady Alustriel of Silverymoon that allows her to see even in the darkest of places as if it were bathed in starlight.

As of 1372 DR, Drizzt uses Taulmaril more often than Catti-Brie does and Khazid'hea has been sent to the Moonwood for study. After she begins her training as a wizard she wears the robes of Jack the Gnome and adorns herself with other magical trinkets.

Relationship with Bruenor
Catti-brie was orphaned at a young age and adopted by the king of the Battlehammer dwarf clan, Bruenor Battlehammer. She regards Bruenor as her father, and she even speaks in the dinstinctive dialect common amongst dwarves.

Relationship with Drizzt
Catti-brie was torn between her romantic feelings for Drizzt as an extension of the companionship they had developed, and the thought of any potential children they might have turning into outcasts because of their drow characteristics. Their differing lifespans, the short-lived nature of humans compared to the long lives of elves, was also of concern to her. Later, the two married (though unofficially).

Relationship with Wulfgar
Catti-brie and Wulfgar have previously been romantically involved.

Orc ambush
In 1370 DR Catti-brie snuck up on a pair of orcs at a campfire east of Shallows before realising it was an ambush. She was outnumbered heavily and succumbed to the stones, spears and other weapons used against her, but not before slaying a number of the orcs. She thought that she was going to die, but was rescued by Wulfgar who single-handedly eliminated most of the rest of the orcs, causing the remainder to flee.

Spelling
There is some debate as to the spelling of Catti-brie's name (the most common alternative being Cattie-brie). Most of R.A. Salvatore's works use the spelling found at the beginning of this article, but the alternative is printed several times.
