Ekaterin Vorsoisson
Ekaterin Vorsoisson is a character in Lois McMaster Bujold's science fiction series, the Vorkosigan Saga. Her character is first introduced with the ''Vorsoisson'' surname, though it changes to ''Vorkosigan'' when she marries Miles.
==Ekaterin Vorvayne==
Ekaterin was born to a comparatively low branch of a Vor family, the ''Vorvaynes.'' Her mother was the sister of Dr. Vorthys, who later became an Imperial Auditor, one of eight men holding the extremely prestigious job of being an expert troubleshooter and investigator for the Emperor.
As Dr. Vorthys points out in the novel ''Komarr'', sometimes the low Vor are more passionate about the tradition of ''Vor'' than the "High Vor", the true aristocracy. Thus, Ekaterin grew up believing in the need to live up to her word, which left her with few options when her marriage went bad, as she was trapped with no honorable Vor way to escape. She also developed a hard shell around herself, thanks to the torments of her older brothers. The fact that she has three older brothers is itself an artifact of the changes in Barrayaran society, as the newly introduced technology allowing parents to choose the sex of their children collided with the long-standing cultural preference for male children.
Ekaterin's mother died of disease when Ekaterin was a teenager. When her father later desired to remarry, he encouraged an arranged marriage between Ekaterin and Etienne Vorsoisson, in order to tidy up family affairs. Ekaterin, who was 20 at the time, accepted Etienne, who was ten years older, and the couple seemed initially happy. Although she genuinely loved him, she also saw the marriage as her part in the "Vor pageant".
