She is sitting in the library, studying. It's her most common pastime, by hours; spending time with her sister is more enjoyable but Jaromira prefers to socialize more broadly and Katarzyna would only get in the way. This is better on net; the two of them share a room, so it isn't as though her sister's time is entirely hogged by the other girls who call this boarding school "home." Or at least "prison." Katarzyna doesn't mind it, though; the school library is excellent, and basic manners and care for the books has endeared her to the librarian to a sufficient degree to lubricate the interlibrary loans process when there's something she wants to read that they don't have.

"Alright, let's try adding bracelets--let's start with a set of bangles on each wrist, three of them, one in each color."
"Okay, now let's add tiny diamonds to the bangles--white on green, green on blue, blue on silver on the left wrist, then the other way around on the right wrist."
"Hmm. Let's try making the bodice a bit looser and then adding one of these," she says, gesturing at a picture she's pulled up on her phone, "but in silver for the metal and blue opals for the stones. And we'll probably want to alter it a bit more to avoid the plagiarism thing--let's turn the ropes into filigree like the necklace and tiara and so on, and the centerpiece...how about an eight-pointed star."
"Hm...let's add another set of crossed filigrees over the hips, but without the centerpiece."
