Katarina Tirial Couteau

 In Construction  ''This article is about the OC character. For the character played in League of Legends, see Katarina Du Couteau ''



Katarina Couteau, born as Elesis Du Tirial, is the main heroine (sometimes as Anti Heroine due to her dark personality) protagonist in the LOTM: Sword of Kings storyline created by DestroyerSubjugator90. She is the adoptive granddaughter of Iruka and Haruko Couteau, the daughter of Mikaela Du Tirial and Sir Isaac Ray Peram Westcott, the older sister of Alisa Ray Peram Westcott, the older adoptive sister of Eugen Katsuragi, the wife of Myouri and the mother of Rinslet Walker Couteau. Cheerful, courageous and also a bit naive and dimwit, Katarina is an ExKrieg originally sent to Earth as an infant with the mission to destroy it since her race was enslaved by Deus.Ex.Machina Industries Empire and were forced to invade and destroy all living being of the planet in order to give it to DEM to sell, however, after the ExKrieg Genocide caused by Isaac Westcott, Katarina was sent to Earth by her mother, Mikaela Du Tirial, to save her from being killed by DEM Forces. However, an accident alters her personality, causing her to grow up with split personality and later become Earth's greatest defender against evil forces like Mafusa Gang, KnightWalker Family, Novosic Kingdom, Godom Empire and Order of Terror as well as the informal non-official leader of the New Republic of Deus.Ex.Machina Industries. Throughout her life, she trains hard and strives to be the greatest warrior possible, while at the same time using her amazing strength and skills to uphold peace.

After her arrival on Earth, she was adopted by a french couple known as Iruka Couteau and Haruko Couteau. Due to a car accident that happened when she was a child, her adoptive parents died, forcing her to live alone in the wilderness for much of her young life, during her time alone, she suffered bullying, torture and psychological abuse by the hands of bullyings and bad people from society that judged her as a criminal, gangster and thug because of her scarlet hair (which favored her mental insanity) and became an outcast with misanthropic tendencies (hatred of humans). At one point after her corruption by the society, she thought about wiping out all humans from the planet which could have awakened her dark personality and would eventually destroy the world with Abyssal powers, however, La Folia Rihavein met her before it could happen and stopped her insane rampage with her pure-heart.

After meeting La Folia and learning about the good parts of humanity, Katarina's life was forever changed and led to her becoming a legendary warrior who saved the planet Earth many times on the future from the hands of Eckidina KnightWalker, B1-Killer Kampfdroide Unit-CM 130, Sasha, Emperor Tathagata Killer, King Hamdo, Kanon Rihavein, Aki Honda, Diabla the Qliphoth Tyrant and Junko Enoshima. In the following years, she became a prodigal warrior who saved not only the Earth but the existence and Multi-Universe from the likes of Darth Hades, Leohart the Prince of Hell, and The Fallen in her journey to become the strongest fighter warrior alive to protect all living beings. As the years passed, her mental illness ceased to exist and she became a incorruptive warrior, yet that does not mean she left most of her enemies alive, Katarina loved to fight she never left one of her most cruel enemies alive after her fight with Aki Honda, where her goodness was the reason why her adoptive sister, Eugen Katsuragi, was killed by the ruthless hands of Aki Honda, the deceased leader of Mafusa Gang.

Due to her bravery and courage, Katarina was called by Reality Council to fight and protect the Multi-Universe alongside billion of heroes that were called from many parts of the Multi-Universe to fight the Balam Alliance that were breaking havoc many universes, dimensions, multiverses, galaxies and planets of the existence, when the war against the Dark Empires from Balam Alliance was coming to an end (with the defeat of the heroes and all heroic factions), the Reality Council had no choice but to bring heroes from many parts of the existence to fight and protect all creation from the hands of the evil Sith Empire, Triggers Hell and Deus.Ex.Machina Industries Empire, alongside many heroes, Katarina was just one of them but later becomes the most notable of them all because of her trace of Abyssal and ExKrieg in her blood and had power to defeat the most powerful beings on the Multi-Universe; Darth Hades, Leohart and the Fallen, whom are the emperors of the Balam Alliance.

Initially believed to be an Earthling, she is later revealed to be a member of an extraterrestrial warrior race called the ExKriegs with the birth name Elesis Du Tirial. As Katarina grows up, she becomes the Earth's mightiest warrior and protects her adopted home planet from those who seek to harm it, she later becomes the most powerful warrior of Earth after her fight with Aki Honda and Michael Langdon that awakened her power little by little due to her injuries and horrible psychological experiences through her life. Katarina is depicted as carefree and cheerful when at ease, but quickly serious and strategic-minded when in battle, despite her cheerful personality, she is quite ruthless and sometimes can act very brutal due to her generic ExKrieg blood, in which the entire race was bloodthirsty warriors destroying entire lives on many planets. She is able to concentrate her ExKrieg and Abyssal energy and use it for devastatingly powerful energy-based attacks, the most prominent being her signature is " Pylóna tis Agonías ", ( Αγωνίες Πυλώνα tis, "Pillar of Agony" in Greek ) in which Katarina launches a dark red energy blast from her right hand and eradicate all evil beings of the existence. Despite her brutal and sociopathic nature that appears in times, Katarina is actually pure of heart who seeks to bring peace and protect the people around her, she vowed to herself to fight only to protect her friends and loved ones but as more powerful enemies appeared on the way, she unconsciously started to fight to protect not only her friends but entire planets and universes, gaining many friends and allies on the way. With her friends, she fought many villains who sought to bring war, death and destruction in many places of the Multi-Universe.

As the protagonist, Katarina appears in most of the episodes, spinoffs, specials and crossover of the storylines of CIS Productions. Due to her role in the story, Katarina has become one of the most recognizable characters by all members of CIS Productions website. Despite that, Katarina is somehow a contraversial character because of her mental Illness and split personality that turns her into a psychopathic murder, insane sadistic assassin and a brutal homicidal fighter, and because of that Katarina has an Anti-Heroic personality a good-hearted and another personality with a cold and evil heart with homicidal tendencies.

Psychological Description


Katarina is a very strict person, often criticizing the bad behavior and habits of the other Alliance of Freedom members, causing most of them to apologize, fearing that they might invoke her wrath. She tends to be a very careful person with the people around her but she spoke little and was very anti social in school days in the human world. She is also very impatient, disliking people who don't answer her questions quickly enough. This, coupled with her own tragic childhood, caused many of her guild mates to avoid her due to her social awkwardness. However, she has a great sense of justice and is capable to give her life to help defenseless or in danger. According to Shinoa, in the letter she wrote for her mother in another world,  Katarina is "cool and beautiful, warm and full of passion". She is mostly a rather tomboyish, however she can be really girly and liked sweet things and cute clothes but she hides these things from others. Katarina describes herself as someone who was always crying, since she wasn't able to protect herself and her friends from other people when she was a child. She always was bullied because of her red hair and a scar in her left eye that Isaac Westcott caused when she was newly born. She also was a very antisocial girl when she was on the human world because she began to hate the people around her because them actually have mistreated her in her school life for any logical reason, she never made a friend because of that. However, she never retaliated these moral harassment which were committed by boys and girls. She suffered so much that she came up to ignore everything that was happening around her and lived inside the world on her head; the only place that she could be at peace. Her personality was changing as she joined the war Multi-Universe. Socially she is an amiable person, needy and caring but in battle she becomes an Amazon warrior, stronger.



One day, her adoptive parents died in a in a car accident that made Katarina went into depression because her parents was the only people she had, she even thought about suicide, but a girl named La Folia saw her in depression and tried to comfort her, even not knowing who she was. La Folia came up even spend days in Katarina's house to try to animate her. Katarina was getting very friendly up to La Folia and they ended up becoming great friends and La Folia become the first friend of Katarina. When La Folia and Katarina became friends, Katarina began to meet new hobbies like martial art, anime, horror movies and video games and ended up becoming a otaku girl but that was not a sign of weakness because after she got very near to La Folia, Katarina began to find the courage to face the bullies who kept pestering her life and was trying to put her down because they thought that she has been very bold these days. When boys would tease her, she easily defeated them breaking up some of their fingers, and when girls were trying to spank her in groups she broke all their lips. She realized that during her fights against the bullies; she was loving it, she realized that somehow she liked fights and violence but she did not know why (this is due of her biologically relationship with her mother, Mikaela, who was a sadist and her father, Isaac Westcott, who was a homicidal maniac). Personally she can a very nice girl with compassion and care to people who are her friends but she tends to be a very violent person with villains, especially with soldiers from Balam Alliance. However, although she like violence (to her enemies), she has a code of honor; not kill. She just fight for fun in battles that is a trace very common in ExKriegs. Sometimes she can be get very shy when the topic "love" comes out and have lack of experience on it.

Katarina is known for her energetic personality and her love of competition; specifically sport fighting and eating. She will eat anything. She has remarkable intuition at seeing the good in others in spite of their actions, though her capacity for forgiving her enemies has occasionally been criticized as excessive; Katarina, for the most part, only fights to win and not kill, and spares her enemies after defeating them only for them to attack her when her back is turned. Her staggering power is simultaneously reined in and enhanced by her fierce loyalty and morality. Katarina can also be very blunt, and not afraid to express her opinion in a discussion, such as when she questioned Elliot marriage to Karen; a 81 year old man married with a 35 year old woman. Despite her kind-hearted nature to her friends, Katarina can feel incredible anger in cases of extreme turmoil, such as the death of a close friend/relative, or when someone murders many innocents needlessly. This anger means she can be vengeful, violent, cruel and sadistic (when her ExKrieg nature comes out). She has a simple, practical view of the world and is somewhat naive to the world around her. Because of this, many characters incorrectly assume her to be somewhat stupid, although once she has a basic understanding of things, she learns very quickly. Her most remarkable ability is her will to succeed, her tenacity and persistence. She is always determined to push himself beyond her limitations and never give up even when the odds are stacked against her. It was shown that Katarina can't hold her liquor. While drunk, she acts very aggressive towards others, as shown by her behavior towards her guild mates. She also seems to have a problem recognizing people when drunk. As mentioned by La Folia, Katarina has a secret fondness for smut, erotic novels and even some hentais.



Katarina is pure of heart, possessing no negative feelings or thoughts, and always try to comfort her friends when they are down. She is also portrayed to be very innocent as a child, because of she has no interest in love, sex, the opposite sex or her own sex, and because of that she is innocent and is very shy when something related to love comes to her. During her childhood, a recurring gag early in the storyline is that she is incapable of telling the difference between a male and a female without physically touching them, which often gets her into trouble. She eventually outgrew this once old enough to understand the difference. In addition, during her youth, she seemed to not understand the concept of pornography, as when La Folia discovered her father's secret stash of porn magazines with Katarina nearby, Katarina thought the girls were too poor to afford clothes, causing La Folia to angrily tell him that they were not poor. It is often teased that Katarina is scared of her friend's temper, La Folia is the only person that Katarina have afraid when she gets pissed off. Katarina is shown to suffer from severe trypanophobia, or the fear of medical needles. She showed his fear for them twice when she gets wounded by Darth Hades (coming victorious from the battle) but when she was receiving the medical attention she got desperate (played for comedy) when she saw the injection.

During her fight with Eckidina, Katarina states that she does not mind being nude in public and has demonstrated a lack of shame at various point. Since she is not able to differentiate what is ashamed to expose her body, often La Folia need to stay close to her to make sure that she will not do anything stupid, Katarina tends to strip her clothes when the climate is very hot and hate hot climates (a trace of Isaac Westcott), and La Folia need to be at her side to keep her of doing shameful things, Katarina sometimes don't understand why La Folia do that. She also does not mind being seen naked by boys or girls, this fact probably how she does not see difference in both sex, male and female. It's almost impossible to tell if she has any sense of shame. Because of this, La Folia is considered a mother to Katarina.



Katarina enjoys finding strong opponents and fighting with them. Despite defeating some of the most strongest villains on Multi-Universe, she fight for pleasure with honorable enemies who accepts a duel or villains who show respect and dignity, however, fighting depraved an evil villain that kills or makes people suffer, Katarina tends to become angry and violent, showing no mercy with complete monsters. However, Katarina never kills her opponents, she refuses to kill living beings, no matter what they are. When she fought Frieza and Cell, she found them strong opponents, but considered them as garbage and rotten beings who were not right opponents for her. For complete monsters, she only defeat and leaves them humiliated enough to make them redeem from their crimes or to make them have another chance to turn back. When she fights to someone respectable, she does not care about losing or winning, just fighting for fun, and if she wins a fight against someone who has honor, she even help her opponent and turn a friend of them.



Katarina seems to think very little of her sister, Alisa Ray Peram Westcott (her sister from another mother), late her father, Sir Isaac Ray Peram Westcott and her mother, Mikaela Du Tirial believing them to be vicious, selfish beings like most other ExKriegs and Abyssals; however, she never knew of her mother's change of heart. Indeed, when she first learned of her ExKrieg heritage, she rejected it out of horror and disgust at being from a race of vicious killers, though she ultimately embraced her heritage after hearing Maia's last words (a survivor ExKrieg woman who survived the ExKrieg Genocide) during the battle with Isaac Westcott on Earth, Germany, fighting him to avenge the loss of her race as well as all of the other zillions of innocents whom Isaac had killed. While Katarina is ultimately kindhearted, forgiving, and unquestionably loyal to the side of good, and did not inherit any of the inherently evil traits of her heritage, her ExKrieg bloodline and its traits for combat have played small or moderate role in her judgement.



Katarina became a famous celebrity on Earth and ALD when she defeat Darth Hades, however, she never wanted to become famous and ignore all the people who knew her only by her reputation. She considers fame something stupid that only attracts people by reputation and not for their true acts in person. She also hate rapists (for very obvious reasons), liars, Nazis, terrorists, tyrants, dictators, selfish wealthy, womanizers (considering this type of person as a evil who takes advantage of the opposite sex for sexual pleasure), abusers of children and animals, genocidal villains, corrupts, pedophiles and torturers. However, what she hates most is when innocent and defenseless people are attacked for no reason, she needs to control herself to not kill villains that are too cruel to live.



She is also easily subject of love interests because her personality is very different from other women more feminine. Some men and girls fall for her amazon personality, honesty, beauty and affection. She is presented as a strong girl with a nice personality that makes men and women fall in love with her, however, her sloppy personality sometimes leaves them sad when she accidentally say something that make them sad, and when this happens she comforts them without knowing why they are sad. Unfortunately (maybe), while girls and boys appreciate and cherish her innocent nature, her innocence in love is arguably one of her worst traits. She rejects sexual pleasure often due to her nervous and celibacy-filled nature towards it, and she easily loses her composure around provocative situations being pushed into her face due to a moral sense of chivalrous respect for the opposite sex and for her own sex. As a result, she has grown to become very clumsy and shy around people who are "aggressive" (when some people try to kiss her, or maybe "more" than that) in love, often getting flustered when faced with sudden upfront, erotic situations either out of guilt, unsure panic, confusion, or all three.

She also has a sarcastic attitude and doesn't put much emotion into her words. Katarina is somewhat perverted and enjoys teasing others at any opportunity. She generally tends to smirk before teasing or performing her antics at others, putting them in uncomfortable situations.

Lust Murder
A lust murder is a homicide in which the offender searches for erotic satisfaction by killing someone. Lust murder is synonymous with the paraphilic term erotophonophilia, which is sexual arousal or gratification contingent on the death of a human being. The phrase "lust killing" stems from the original work of Richard von Krafft-Ebing in his 1898 discussion of sadistic homicides. Commonly, this type of crime is manifested either by murder during sexual activity, by mutilating the sexual organs or areas of the victim's body, or by murder and mutilation. The mutilation of the victim may include evisceration, displacement of the sexual organs, or both. The mutilation usually takes place postmortem. Although the killing sequence may include an act of sexual intercourse, sexual intercourse does not always occur, and other types of sexual acts may be part of the homicide.

Sexual Sadism Disorder
Sexual sadism disorder is the condition of experiencing sexual arousal in response to the extreme pain, suffering or humiliation of others. Several other terms have been used to describe the condition, and the condition may overlap with other conditions that involve inflicting pain. It is distinct from situations in which consenting individuals use mild or simulated pain or humiliation for sexual excitement. Sexual sadism disorder has been found to be potentially dangerous if paired with symptoms of borderline personality disorder or psychopathy which increases the likelihood of one acting on their sexually sadistic fantasies.

Psychopathy
Psychopaths are people who exhibit a constellation of antisocial personality disorder traits which include antisocial, sadistic, narcissistic, and borderline behaviour, lack of ability to love or establish meaningful personal relationships and extreme egocentricity. They also do not learn from failure and take it out on others. Psychopathy is sometimes used synonymously with sociopathy, is traditionally defined as a personality disordercharacterized by persistent impaired empathy and remorse, and bold, disinhibited, egotistical traits. Different conceptions of psychopathy have been used throughout history. These conceptions are only partly overlapping and may sometimes be contradictory.

Sadism
Sadism involves gaining pleasure from seeing others undergo discomfort or pain. The opponent-process theory explains the way in which individuals not only display, but also take enjoyment in committing sadistic acts.[clarification needed] Individuals possessing sadistic personalities tend to display recurrent aggression and cruel behavior. Sadism can also include the use of emotional cruelty, purposefully manipulating others through the use of fear, and a preoccupation with violence.

There were four subtypes of sadism, which he termed Enforcing sadism, Explosive sadism, Spineless sadism, and Tyrannical sadism.

Dissociative Identity Disorder
Dissociative identity disorder (DID), previously known as multiple personality disorder (MPD), is a mental disorder characterized by at least two distinct and relatively enduring identities or dissociated personality states that alternately show in a person's behavior, accompanied by memory impairment for important information not explained by ordinary forgetfulness. These symptoms are not accounted for by substance abuse, seizures, other medical conditions, nor by imaginative play in children. Diagnosis is often difficult as there is considerable comorbidity with other mental disorders. Malingering should be considered if there is possible financial or forensic gain, as well as factitious disorder if help-seeking behavior is prominent.

DID is one of the most controversial psychiatric disorders, with no clear consensus on diagnostic criteria or treatment. Research on treatment efficacy has been concerned primarily with clinical approaches and case studies. Dissociative symptoms range from common lapses in attention, becoming distracted by something else, and daydreaming, to pathological dissociative disorders. No systematic, empirically supported definition of "dissociation" exists.

Bipolarity Disorder
Bipolar disorder, also known as manic depression, is a mental disorder with periods of depression and periods of elevated mood. The elevated mood is significant and is known as mania or hypomania, depending on its severity, or whether symptoms of psychosis are present. During mania, an individual behaves or feels abnormally energetic, happy, or irritable. Individuals often make poorly thought out decisions with little regard to the consequences. The need for sleep is usually reduced during manic phases. During periods of depression, there may be crying, a negative outlook on life, and poor eye contact with others. The risk of suicide among those with the illness is high at greater than 6 percent over 20 years, while self-harm occurs in 30–40 percent. Other mental health issues such as anxiety disorders and substance use disorder are commonly associated.

Childhood Amnesia
Childhood amnesia, also called infantile amnesia, is the inability of adults to retrieve episodic memories which are memories of specific events (times, places, associated emotions, and other contextual who, what, when, and where) before the age of 2–4 years, as well as the period before age 10 of which adults retain fewer memories than might otherwise be expected given the passage of time. The development of a cognitive self is also thought by some to have an effect on encoding and storing early memories.

Some research has demonstrated that children can remember events from the age of 1, but that these memories may decline as children get older. Most psychologists differ in defining the offset of childhood amnesia. Some define it as the age from which a first memory can be retrieved. This is usually at the age of 3 or 4, but it can range from 2 to 8 years. Changes in encoding, storage and retrieval of memories during early childhood are all important when considering childhood amnesia. Some other research shows differences between gender and culture, which is implicated in the development of language. Childhood amnesia is particularly important to consider in regard to false memories and the development of the brain in early years. Proposed explanations of childhood amnesia are Freud's trauma theory (which is not supported by evidence and is generally discredited), neurological development, development of the cognitive self, emotion and language.

Post-Traumatic Amnesia
Post-traumatic amnesia (PTA) is a state of confusion that occurs immediately following a traumatic brain injury in which the injured person is disoriented and unable to remember events that occur after the injury. The person may be unable to state his or her name, where he or she is, and what time it is. When continuous memory returns, PTA is considered to have resolved. While PTA lasts, new events cannot be stored in the memory. About a third of patients with mild head injury are reported to have "islands of memory", in which the patient can recall only some events. During PTA, the patient's consciousness is "clouded". Because PTA involves confusion in addition to the memory loss typical of amnesia, the term "post-traumatic confusional state" has been proposed as an alternative.

There are two types of amnesia: retrograde amnesia (loss of memories that were formed shortly before the injury) and anterograde amnesia (problems with creating new memories after the injury has taken place). Both retrograde and anterograde forms may be referred to as PTA, or the term may be used to refer only to anterograde amnesia.

Explosive Sadism
People having this form of sadistic personality are known to be unpredictably violent as they are disappointed or frustrated with their general lives. They lose control when they feel humiliated and/or hopeless and seek retribution for the deprecation and mistreatment to which they sense they have been subjected to. These violent behaviors get expressed through fearsome attacks and tantrums on others, especially on family members, and through uncontrollable rage. Normally, the explosive sadists feel suddenly threatened in some given situation and then shock others by the abruptly changing behavior. These sadists do not generally move about in grumpy or surly manner and as a result it is difficult to know what might set them off. Although the violence that gets released is nearly always directed at a particular individual, it primarily serves as a form of emotional release for the pent up feelings that the sadist had been holding inside himself or herself.

Anti Heroine Proposal


''Katarina has many negative points but this the reason why she is the most loved protagonist among all main protagonists of the story. Despite Katarina fights to protect her friends, she shows no mercy towards her enemies and kills them in the most brutal ways possible to show an example to what happens to them when they mess with her but that is not always the case, it depends on the character of the person she is fighting. In few cases, Katarina showed mercy but always ended getting a bad ending, the people she hates always end getting really beaten at the end. Katarina was originally supposed to be a selfish hero to the point that one wondered if she was actually a good person since she only grew stronger to fight strong people, not to protect anyone. Some of Katarina's more heroic qualities were heightened in the Saga AA. In the original script of LOTM: Sword of Kings, Katarina experienced a subtle Messiah Creep where she showed more concern for the world, a willingness to sacrifice herself, and worried about people depending on her too much to the point that she boarders on being an Ideal Hero and is treated like a messiah among those who knows her. It's only her Blood Knight tendencies that can override her common sense that makes her remotely closed to being an anti-hero. And though she became one of the Rogues, there were still a few instances where Katarina didn't really view the members of the team including Asuha, Lucas, and Haru occasionally (mostly for his cowardly behavior in some situations) as being in her league. She would regularly come into conflict with them talking down. The only ones that she generally showed respect to among the team were Jellal Fernandes, Imperia (La Folia), Rentaro, Asuha, Mana and Lucas. Above all, she is somewhat of a Sociopathic Hero, all that really matters to her is her friends' safety (even the ones who she don't like) and completing her missions. Empathy and strict moral principles aren't really qualities that fit in to her personality as she willing to left most of her allies to die. She is definitely against saving villains, has a naturally violent nature and sees absolutely nothing wrong in offing people. Katarina also fights villains simply because she's looking for a Worthy Opponent (like when she fight Azul and saw her as a good rival) — that is, someone who won't go down with simply one attack. Unlike La Folia, Katarina hold hatred towards other and are willing to kill them when the times come without giving them a chance to talk. But aside from her anti-heroic personality, Katarina is a good person but... You just need to get along with her...''

Power Level
Katarina is one of the most powerful characters in the story, able to take on many powerful opponents and hold her own against seemingly any opponent. In her time on Earth, Katarina was capable of surviving bullets (which did little more than bruise her) thanks to her ExKrieg anatomy. She could also break through boulders and defeat much larger opponents easily. By the end of Mafusa Gang conflict Katarina was capable of defeating the likes of Karma Maxwell and Kano's Battle Jacket, she also survived being hit head-on by a missile. When she drank the LN-666 Energy, Katarina gained strength on par with Eckidina's her 666 Energy form, just barely defeating the malevolent teenage girl in combat.

Due to living most of her life among humans, Katarina seemed to have an extraordinary growth by human standards. By ExKrieg standards however, Katarina's power was considered extremely pitiful. By the time of her battle with Darth Mau, alongside Eclywido, they were considerably outclassed by the evil sith, requiring a almost-suicidal effort on Katarina's part to defeat the sith. However, Katarina proved herself a late bloomer, as her natural talent for combat allowed her to drastically increase her power after training with Yama, obtained power rivaling Alisa, who was considered a Super Elite warrior by ExKrieg standards from a young age. After her 300+ gravity training in Daooka country, Katarina's power became far stronger than the average ExKriegs and Lesser Abyssals, easily defeating most of the The Fallen Legion, who easily defeated Reina, the most powerful warrior of the 8th Multi-Universe. She can also use the Kurokami-TI technique to further increase her power level, eventually able to handle the strain of increasing her power level 40 folds with the technique.

In terms of physical strength, as a child she could push extremely large rock formations. When she was older she could lift and throw a the NC Mothership with ease, and even while wearing clothing weighing well over 100 kilos was able to move with remarkable agility and coordination. By the Leohart Saga, base Katarina could lift two tons on each limb. In Prime Abyssal Punisher form, she can easily move about with 100 tons of weight on each limb and could push mountains apart or destroy them with a single blow.



With her raw quickness, he could effortlessly deflect or dodge bullets as a child and move at high speed, allowing her to travel halfway around in the world in a single day at the age of 19, however, her kindness was her only weakness. After training with Karen, she can use the Sonido technique, letting her move so fast and suddenly that it leaves multiple afterimages of her. At age 22, she could outrun Darth Hades's target-seeking energy blasts, able to turn their target to one of her choosing by tactically moving about. At age 24, she cross the entirety of Galaxy 749 (which according to an Ogre was 900.000 parcess (parcess mean 900 octillions of kilometers aways)) in less than a year during her journey to meet the Ancient Hero. After her training with Ancient Hero, she crossed the path in only two days. Later on Isaac Planet, when she first transform into a Prime Abyssal Punisher Form, her speed increase so much that not even Reality Council's king advance sensing prowess could track Katarina's movements.

Tomoe Gozen


'Tomoe Gozen, born in 1157, was one of the greatest female Samurai warriors of all time. Though female samurais were not unheard of in Japan at this time, Tomoe’s extremely impressive martial arts skills, archery talent, and swordsmanship made her one of the only female warriors whose stories have been recorded in thorough detail in ancient manuscripts. Tomoe fought most notably in the Gempei War and is believed to have singlehandedly killed off a group of enemy soldiers, decapitating their leader after he attempted to pull her off her horse. While Tomoe is thought to have survived the war (unlike her husband), the legends vary: Some say she became a nun for the rest of her life and others believe that she committed seppuku (suicide).'

Khutulun


'Of all the possible titles for a ruler, “warrior princess” may be the most badass. Born in 1260 as the great-great-granddaughter of Genghis Khan, Khutulun was Mongolian royalty best known for her independent spirit and incredible wrestling abilities, which were recorded in history by Marco Polo. As her father taught her the inner workings of the military and encouraged her political ambitions, he also desired that his daughter should have a husband who truly deserved her. So, not particularly wanting to be married off, Khutulun set forth a challenge—she would marry any man who could beat her in a wrestling match, but any man who she beat would have to give her a horse. She wound up with 10,000 horses. '

Mai Bhago


'In a time of war, when Sikhs and Mughals were going at it non-stop, it all ended up being a bit too much for some. But not Mai Bhago. When 40 Sikhs from her village decided to give up and leave their Guru, she wasn’t having any of it.After the men returned home, Mai didn't talk to them and try and get them to change their minds. No. She suited up in her husband's armour and led by example, embarrassing the 40 Sikhs into following her into battle.Under her lead, the men managed to force the Mughals back and while none of them actually survived the fracas, they were at least forgiven by Guru Gobind Singh Ji. As for Mai Bhago, she was so good on the battlefield that the Guru decided to make her his bodyguard.'

Nancy Wake


'Nancy Grace Augusta Wake AC, GM (30 August 1912 – 7 August 2011) served as a British Special Operations Executive agent during the later part of World War II. She became a leading figure in the maquis groups of the French Resistance and was one of the Allies' most decorated servicewomen of the war who commanded more than 7,000 resistance fighters during the Nazis’ occupation of France in World War II. She became the Gestapo’s most wanted person and the number one most wanted women of Nazi Party at the time of France Invasion.'

'After the fall of France in 1940, she became a courier for the French Resistance and later joined the escape network of Captain Ian Garrow. By 1943, Wake was the Gestapo's most wanted person, with a 5 million-franc price on her head. After reaching Britain, Wake joined the Special Operations Executive. '

'On the night of 29/30 April 1944, Wake was parachuted into occupied France Auvergne, becoming a liaison between London and the local maquis group headed by Captain Henri Tardivat in the Forest of Tronçais. From April 1944 until the liberation of France, her 7,000+ maquisards fought 22,000 German soldiers, causing 1,400 casualties, while suffering only 100 themselves.'

Queen Boudica


'Boudicca was married to Prasutagus, ruler of the Iceni people of East Anglia. When the Romans conquered southern England in AD 43, they allowed Prasutagus to continue to rule. However, when Prasutagus died the Romans decided to rule the Iceni directly and confiscated the property of the leading tribesmen. They are also said to have stripped and flogged Boudicca and raped her daughters. These actions exacerbated widespread resentment at Roman rule.'

'In 60 or 61 AD, while the Roman governor Gaius Suetonius Paullinus was leading a campaign in North Wales, the Iceni rebelled. Members of other tribes joined them.Boudicca's warriors successfully defeated the Roman Ninth Legion and destroyed the capital of Roman Britain, then at Colchester. They went on to destroy London and Verulamium (St Albans). Thousands were killed. Finally, Boudicca was defeated by a Roman army led by Paulinus. Many Britons were killed and Boudicca is thought to have poisoned herself to avoid capture. The site of the battle, and of Boudicca's death, are unknown.'

Joan of Arc


'Not just a legendary female warrior but also a Roman Catholic saint, Joan was but a girl when visions of the Archangel Michael drove her to approach the military of France's King Charles VII and offer to assist in his efforts to expel the occupying English in the later days of the Hundred Years' War. Though initially mocked by these men and soldiers, Joan was taken seriously once her influence ended the Siege of Orleans in nine days.'

'By age 17, she played a key role in commanding France's army, and her forte in the military seemed to be for strategy over slaying. The French owed much to Joan, and yet it was the Burgundians, Frenchmen loyal to England, that led to her demise. She was captured in 1430 and, despite several escape attempts and rescue efforts, Joan was put on trial by the English for heresy and cross-dressing. Her visions were now derided, and her armor called an atrocity. She was convicted, sentenced to death, and burned alive at the stake.'

'Even after her death, her strategies are said to have influenced the French battle model. More than 25 years later, the Catholic Church revisited Joan's trial for heresy, overturning the charges against her in a case of too little too late. It would be more than 460 years before Pope Benedict XV declared Joan a saint.'

Nakano Takeko


One of the only known onna-bugeisha (female samurais) in Japan's history, Takeko was educated in literary and martial arts before distinguishing herself in the Boshin War, a Japanese civil war that lasted from January 3rd 1868 to May 18th, 1869.

'In the Battle of Aizu in the fall of 1868, she and other females who chose to fight were not recognized as an official part of the Aizu army. Nonetheless, Takeko led her peers in a unit that was later dubbed Jōshitai, which translates to the "Women's Army." Her weapon of choice was the naginta, a Japanese pole arm. But while it helped her earn glory, it would not safeguard her through the war.'

'Takeko was shot in the chest while leading a charge against the Imperial Japanese Army of the Ogaki domain. Fearing that her enemies would defile her body and make her head a gruesome war trophy, she asked her sister to cut it off and bury it. This was her final wish, and her head was subsequently buried beneath a pine tree at the Hōkai-ji Temple in modern-day Fukushima. Today, a monument to her stands nearby, where girls come each year to honor her and her Women's Army during the Aizu Autumn Festival.'
