LOTM: Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow/Characters/Team Witness/Katrina Crane

"At first, this story may not have the beginning as your thought. There is no beautiful princess, no ferocious dragons, no kind-hearted Prince Charming in the beginning... There is only faded benevolence. There is only rising fear... There's only Salem."

Katrina Crane, née Van Tassel, is one the main protagonists in LOTM: Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow and LOTM: Star Spangled Crown, the former leader of the Sisterhood of Radiant Heart, the daughter of the late Balthus Van Tassel, the wife of Ichabod Crane and the mother of Jeremy Crane. She goes on her duty as an oracle in the Team Witness' quest, helping them with her power as a witchcraft. She is also the archenemy of Lady Van Tassel, her stepmother.

Born as a talented child of magic, Kartina had a bad memory when she saw her mother - the previous Lady Van Tassel - being poisoned. The real murderer was her father's maid, Mary Archer Preston, who took the title of Katrina's mother after killing her, before trying to steal the Van Tassel fortune in order to spite them. Katrina was deeply traumatized by her mother's demise, and yet she went by. Joining George Washington as his spy, she later led the Sisterhood of the Radiant Heart and fought agianst the forces of supernatural demons accompanied by the Order of the Blood Moon, before meeting Ichabod Crane.

However, Katrina was often accused of hiding things away from Ichabod in order to keep him safe, even at the price of unwittingly causing the first two Horsemen to take their human forms. At first, Katrina was forced into an arranged and loveless marriage with Ichabod's best friend, Abraham Van Brunt, whom she later broke up with, while trying to compensate Ichabod for accidentally killing his ex-lover, Mary Wells, unknowingly driving Abraham into fury and got manipulated by Moloch, becoming the Horseman of Death as a result.

After failing to stop the Horseman of Death from killing others, Katrina and Ichabod almost broke up due to the accumulating distrust between each other, but Katrina still secretly tried to save her husband even if she discovered her own pregnancy. However, Ichabod eventually discovered that Lady Van Tassel was the real mastermind while Katrina, revealing her witch identity to her husband, was only trying to protect him during the debarcle which the Horseman raised. Ichabod eventually went to save Katrina and fought against the Horseman to his death, but Katrina casted a spell on him in order to awaken him later.

After greiving for her passed-away husband, Katrina became a fugitive on the Sisterhood's radar for marrying Ichabod, while Lady Van Tassel used it to force Katrina's former coven sisters to betray her. Katrina escaped to Fredericks Manor and gave birth to Jeremy Crane, her only child with Ichabod, but she had to escape Fredericks Manor after it was attacked by Moloch's tree monster. Later, in order to save the child's life, Katrina had to leave her child to Grace Dixon and left crying, not long before Lady Van Tassel captured her and chained her into Purgatory for eternity. More ironically, her son Jeremy would later go on a trauma conga line and was buried alive for another 2 centuries, until Moloch dug him out and transformed him into the Horseman of War. Jeremy later gone by his alias Henry Parrish and planned to seek vegeance on his parents for abandoning him.

Later, Katrina managed to contact the spirit of Sister Mary Eunice and begged her to help the Two Witnesses in order to save the humanity, and Sister Mary Eunice took over the role of Katrina, helping Ichabod and Abbie to defeat Moloch and save Katrina from Purgatory. After a long line of imprisonment and escape attempt, Katrina ultimately reunited with her husband and joined the battle against Moloch and the Horsemen of Apocalypse.

She is an OC counterpart to Katrina Crane from the original series created by Officer Candy Apple in CIS Productions.

"#-A" Tropes
instead.
 * Adaptational Personality Change: Inside this storyline, Katrina is full of this kind of trope in order to fix her character flaw in the original
 * Adaptational Badass: In LOTM: Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow Storyline, Katrina has more badassary and showes real magic skills to fight against strong enemies, given to the fact that the original Katrina in Season 2 is poorly written and becomes more like a Damsel Scrappy.
 * Adaptational Heroism: Unlike the original Katrina, this version of Katrina never intended to betray her husband and summon the Witch Cult. She was brainwashed by Dark Arzonia and Gregory Grape to do so. In addition, she never intended to murder her husband, and this role was moved to Lady Van Tassel before the final stage of The Cranes Arc.
 * Adaptational Nice Girl: While still keeping Katrina's belief over Henry Parrish's redemption, this storyline had omitted the foolish things Katrina did out of her constant tolerance. She also acted much nicer to Abbie. Furthermore, after the Purgatory Breakout, Katrina never intended to release the Headless Horseman in order to keep him away from Orion. Instead, she warned Abbie about Orion's destructive nature before Abbie could ever lead Orion to the Horseman, while the Horseman was released by Dark Arzonia
 * The Atoner: Katrina accidentally killed Ichabod's former lover, Mary Wells, in self-defense. After Ichabod picked the gift for Katrina at Abraham's behalf, Katrina decided to compensate Ichabod by confessing her feelings to him, in order to atone her sins. She only told her father about it, and later it caused Crow Faux and Abraham to become enemies of Ichabod, until they discovered the whole truth. After the truth behind Mary Wells' demise was revealed, Katrina decided to protect her husband in order to make sincere compensation.
