Katarina Couteau
"I see. But before I lose control of my personality, let me tell you something. I mastered many styles of martial arts but I should not use them against you. Because each martial art is a respectable product of human technique. Techniques that should not be used through the anger. Therefore, I must send myself to my anger and use pure violence as an animal rather than a human!"



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 (Vira), 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.

"A" Tropes

 * Accidental Hero: Whenever Imperia or [insert character here] does something monumentally stupid, it inevitably tends to create or worsen whatever ongoing crisis situation will then have to be solved. Whenever Katarina does something monumentally stupid? It works out for the best.
 * Accidental Murder: Katarina killed many people indirectly in her past when she beat many Mafusa Gangsters, causing Aki Honda to unleash her wrath upon her subordinates, of course killing them. For a more direct example, she accidentally impaled Azul Jissele during the final battle with the MPS in Paris when Vira forced to go through nightmares.
 * Accidental Pervert: To a male example. Because of her masculine behavior, she may totally forget she is a woman and enter in the man's bath while every single male member of the Rogues are there. Oh well...
 * The Ace: Made abundantly clear since the early parts of Saga AA to Ratatoskr. She learns techniques just by watching them once or twice, and become immunes to them since he knows how to counter them. Within a few years, her martial art skills surpasses all her friends, including Tomas, and wins the Diabla the Qliphoth Tyrant in a hand-to-hand fight. She then finds out why she's able to do all these things when it's revealed that she's an ExKrieg, who are a race that is born for battle. Even that doesn't fully explain how she's able to defeat members of her race considered to be elites and even royalty, defeat and/or kill seemingly invincible aliens and monsters, achieve all the available ExKrieg transformations and even go beyond godhood. She's so good that everyone defers to her to solve the problem of the current arc, even if she isn't the strongest at that moment.
 * Action Mother: Even 5 billion years later after she saved the Multi-Universe and Omniverse multiple times, Katarina became a mother, threats still come to her homeworld (in fact, more of them), so she has to keep training to make sure she was powerful enough to stop it. Though, considering her Blood Knight tendencies, she'd have done so even if that wasn't the case.
 * Action Survivor: Katarina was once a normal high school student living in extraordinary times and only becomes badass because circumstances force her to.
 * Adaptational Badass: The original concept of Katarina in Season 1 was entirely a sloopy, lazy and somehow stupid character, first starting by giving her own school uniform to Megumi and going to her school with only panties and bra in public. In season 2, her character is far more composed and even more Anti-Heroic than before. Yet, her sloopy and naive personality still there, and is more used in Played For Laughs times.
 * Adaptational Intelligence: Some interpretations make her smarter than the Book Dumb fight magnet she usually is. Prior her fight with Aki Honda, she was a idiotic character who only cared to fight without thinking in battle plans. In season 2, she broken her character with her battle with Heis, which proved her to be a strategical and manipulative chessmistress in the battlefield.
 * Adaptational Nice Girl: In season 2 onwards again. The Season 1 tends to play-up her heroic side while somewhat downplaying her less noble aspects that are present in the Season 1. A prominent example is after the fight with Aki Honda, when Katarina convinces her to redeem herself; while in Season 2 she will not let any chances for her enemy to live, no matter who he or she is. In season 1, she was more rude but was able to show compassion for all living beings, including a scum-bag like Aki Honda. However, in season 2, her character is far more positive in all means but she lost completely her sense of love and mercy for her enemies.
 * Adaptational Jerkass: As aforementioned. She will kill any of her opponents in the current time of the story, even if they are children.
 * Adaptation Personality Change: She suffers a mild case of this. CIS tends to portrayal her as more heroic than her Season 1 counterpart. Katarina is still a good person in stories, but season 1's version of the character is more selfish, self-centered, and prone to overconfidence. Her level of childishness also varies. Season 1 tends to downplay her immaturity and make her fun-loving while being somewhat dense and clueless, while CIS sometimes play up his childishness and naivety for comedy.
 * Adaptational Superpower Change: In the original concept, Katarina was suppose to be able only to control her ExKrieg's bloodline abilities. For better words, only powers of her biological mother, Mikaela Du Tirial. When the story was out, she was able to control her Abyssal energy more than her ExKrieg's bloodline. However, her Abyssal power only came out in moments of despair and agony, and always resulted in her being possessed by her Evil-Alter Ego, Elesis Du Tirial.
 * Adorably Precocious Child: As a kid. By the age of 12 she was living by herself in the wilderness and cold Japanese society when her parents died.
 * Adult Fear: Few things get Katarina genuinely agitated, but the wellbeing of hierfriends and especially her family is definitely one of them. Katarina may run off on them to go training, but if they are threatened Katarina clearly starts to lose her cool. Multiple times during her time in Prime Earth, it was seeing La Folia in danger that flipped Katarina's usually hard to push temper switch. In fact, while Asuha's death is usually credited to being Katarina's trigger into Legendary ExKrieg, it was also Aryana threatening Imperia right afterwards that was the final straw for Katarina.
 * Aesop Amnesia: Zigzagged. If Madness Sub Arc is any indication... Katarina still hasn't learned her lesson in not giving murderous villains like Petelgeuse Romanne-Conti a Last-Second Chance just so he can get a rematch and a better challenge. Curiously, Katarina did not spare any of her previous enemies until she defeated Petelgeuse... And of course, giving him a second chance only resulted in more of her friends being harmed just like her fight with Aki Honda, when the ruthless gangster impaled her sister, Eugen Katsuragi.
 * All-Loving Hero: Forgives non-brutal enemies? Most story arcs involve this. She does not hold grudges period. Turns enemies into friends? This is how she makes friends, like the case with Oriax. Once the fight is over, anyone, even last season's enemies, are affectionately embraced as friends if they can stop trying to kill her and her crew or take over the world long enough. In addittion, she is a easy-going girl with a talent mind for stupid yet laughable moments.
 * All Your Powers Combined: One of her signature technique, the Pillar of Agony, is an energy attack that combines the energy of every living creature around and even beyond into one big pillar of black matter.
 * Almighty Janitor: She'd merely be a lowly soldier if she was raised as an ExKrieg. That said, she becomes one of the most powerful beings in the existence. For the people of Earth, she is this as well. Outside of the Arena Simulator Battle and other circles, the general public doesn't know who she is.
 * Alternate Identity Amnesia: Katarina has no memory of her time as a Berserk during the battle of Aldegyr Kingdom. It's not until she sees Elesis transforms that she realizes that she's the monster who destroyed most of Aldegyr Kingdom.
 * Angrish: After Kanon Rihavein murders La Folia Rihavein before her eyes, Katarina becomes so stricken with anger and grief that she can barely form a sentence.
 * And This Is For...: When she fights Ara Astaroth, she does this for all of her friends whom Ara killed, including Mash.
 * Animal Battle Aura: Her aura sometimes takes the form of a Chinese Dragon, like the punch she uses to kill Diabla the Qliphoth Tyrant. This comes from her Abyssal's biologic energy, as her father, Isaac Westcott, is a Prime Abyssal.
 * Anti-Heroine: According to Subjugator, Katarina was originally supposed to be a selfish heroine to the point that one would wonder if she was actually a good person since she only grew stronger to fight strong people, not to protect anyone and some of Katarina's more heroic qualities were heightened in the Season 2. This, however, is Downplayed since even in the original concept Katarina experienced a subtle Messiah Creep where she shows more concern for the world, a willingness to sacrifice herself, and worries 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, something she fully acknowledges, that makes her remotely close to being an anti-heroine. Katarina herself explained this further when she tells Kotori that she was never really aware of saving the world and she grew stronger to fight strong guys, but she can't sit back while other people suffer... Simply because she can't due to her humanity that refuses to allow innocent people dying or suffering in front of her. At times, Katarina may hid her worries for the world.
 * Anti-Antichrist: Hell! She is the daughter of the most evil being in the omniverse, Isaac Ray Peram Westcott, the ruthless dictator of DEM Empire, a nazi-facist empire that controls over trillions of universes! Worse, she has the bloodline of a brutal ExKrieg running through her veins. She had everything to become one of the most evil villains of the existence. Yet, she does NOT agree with any of the things her parents did in life.
 * Arch-Enemy: Countless... A lot... Oh! A LOT! Maybe too many to be listed. But this is only natural since Katarina is one of the strongest heroines ever and will always have a hand in a heroic quest to stop the villain's plan. Michael Langdon and Heis feel like that towards her.
 * Asleep for Days: During the Season 1. When she defeated Aki Honda, she went into coma for 1 week due to her first time using the Abyssal energy.
 * Assassin Outclassin': The MPS hires Jessica Bailey to take her out and steal her heart to study her ExKrieg and Abyssal energy. Katarina survives the first fight, and later beats Jessica in a rematch.
 * Asskicking Equals Authority: Lucas Kellan names Katarina captain of the the Rogues team after Tomas' death at the end of Madness Sub Arc purely based on Katarina  being the strongest mortal fighter in her planet. Azul is not happy about that. However, Katarina relents to this title to Imperia, although Katarina is still stronger than her.
 * Attractive Bent-Gender: Weaponised with the Gender spell of Andr, which transform her into a handsome man with long red hair. Her appearance as man is one of the reasons why the Princess of Minecraftia, who were suffering from the lack of males due to a disease that wiped out all masculine mobs from the world, shake the entire kingdom searching for her... Or better for him.
 * Awesomeness by Analysis: On the flip side, Katarina is also an expert at analyzing the battle strategies of her opponents and figuring out logical weaknesses and openings. This is most visible in her fights with Heis and Ara, who's about equal to her in terms of power but never bothered to develop the same understanding of combat that Katarina has.
 * Aww, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Despite Katarina being clueless about love and affection to the point that she has never kissed a boy on the lips, he does have feelings towards Rentaro. She even tells Imperia that she likes Rentaro for being headstrong. Heck, she even may get embarassed around him, which of course was a chance for Atala to mock her.

"B" Tropes

 * The Baby of the Bunch: Of the original core group, Katarina is the youngest and least mature. She's babied to the extent that Imperia worries about her the most. She's still the strongest and most competent of the bunch in terms of fighting... Of course, until she gets serious... People start to learn her true colors of a cold mature amazon.
 * Backup from Otherworld: When she was killed by Isaac Westcott when tried to rescue Tohka Yatogami from DEM Empire. Due to her high energy, Katarina did not went neither Limbo, Hell, Paradise nor Valhala--Due to her Abyssal and ExKrieg energy, her soul made a hole in the Spirit Worm Hole of the Omniverse, making her soul to fall on the depths of the unknown regions of the omniverse. This caused her to fall on the world of Minecraftia, the Kingdom of the Cosmic. Of course, after many rape attempts of lustful mob princess, she escaped and returned to the Living World... However, she may be too late as the final battle was about to start.
 * Badass Adorable: Throughout her childhood. Even after growing into an adult, hse remains an endearingly innocent and kind-hearted woman in the body of a grandfmother by the end of it. She is naive and cute at times with her cheerful personality.
 * Badass Baritone: In her ExKrieg transformation, her voice becomes noticeably deeper and serious.
 * Badass Boast:
 * "I see. But before I lose control of my personality, let me tell you something. I mastered many styles of martial arts but I should not use them against you. Because each martial art is a respectable product of human technique. Techniques that should not be used through the anger. Therefore, I must send myself to my anger and use pure violence as an animal rather than a human!"
 * "Chaos claims the unwary or the incomplete. A true man may flinch away from its embrace, if he is stalwart, and he girds his soul with the armour of contempt."
 * "Never let your sense of morals prevent you from doing what is right."
 * "You already know don’t you? I am your loved daughter that you tried to kill when I was just a newborn baby. I came from a planet called Earth in order to defeat you all from Balam Alliance. I'm here to bring you despair, fear and panic! I'm here to bring you nightmares! With my fist that carry all lives you took from, I'll send to you to a place worse than hell, the NOTHING! Prepare to die! Because you're not my father!!"
 * Badass in Distress: For the most of Mafusa Gang's Revenge sub arc, Katarina was the Princess in Distress while acting as the main antagonist. Due to Vira's ability in infecting Katarina with the Blackness, Katarina impaled Azul and the guilty feeling made her be consumed by her evil-alter ego, Elesis Du Tirial. Thus, turning her in a Princess inside of a psychological cage where Elesis was the bad girl.
 * Balloon Belly: Occasionally after eating a big meal such as when she ate a massive dinner bought by Kotori at the end of Mafusa Gang's Revenge Sub Arc.
 * Batman Can Breathe in Space: Though it was claimed way back during Saga AA that her race couldn't breathe in space, in LOTM: A Draw of Kings, she fights Isaac in the vacuum of the Multi-Universe's space in a beatiful and epic battle between father and daughter.
 * Bearer of Bad News: Is the one to inform everyone that Tomas became a Black Demon through Ara's machinations.
 * Be Careful What You Wish For: She wanted to fight strong guys... Always... And she got it but in the worst way... A BUNCH of them. Megalomaniacs, ruthless dictators, destroyers of planets, eaters of universes, overpowered Gods and many more.
 * Being Good Sucks: While Katarina is usually the paragon for Good Feels Good, she does have a moment like this after Vira is defeated. She really, really, wants to leave Vira to die after she's cut to pieces, but Katarina's morality won't allow her to ignore a call for help, even from an evil monster like Vira who did terrible things to her. She eventually gives in to his conscience and gives Vira enough energy to heal and run away... In exchange she will never show her face again before her eyes. Of course, as always, the cruel being will act like a jerk.
 * Berserk Button: It didn't happen often, but when she was a child calling Katarina coward, weak, idiot or stupid caused her to lose her cool. This is seen when La Folia called her a sad person for being alone all the time when they met for the first time in their entire lives... It resulted in Katarina trying to stab the young La Folia.
 * Beware the Nice Ones: Katarina is a very easy-going and kind person who tries to be polite and friendly to everyone, but you do not want to piss her off. If you see her face stained in darkness, you're dead. Darth Hades found that out the hard way for exposing his crimes to all survivors ExKriegs who managed to escape from the ExKrieg Genocide.
 * Beware the Silly Ones: Because of how naive and childish she was she had no problem playing hide-and-seek with her enemies, choosing to eat over fight, or just act like a goofball in the middle of a battle. Despite this, she still kicked her opponent's butts and not let's get started on what happens when she is serious.
 * Big Ego, Hidden Depths: Katarina is loud and boastful because she needs someone, anyone, to notice her as a person and not a monster with blood-like hair.
 * Big Damn Heroes: Is an absolute pro at this. Whenever things look like they’re at its most grim, Katarina will usually appear out of nowhere and save the day (or least give the heroes a fighting chance). She saves the Rogues seconds before Heis would have crushed their bodies and she stops Terumi from killing Kyouko. It happens so many times that it got to the point that Katarina's friend lampshades this tendency of her... At one point Atala even joked about this saying she waits behind a rock and when things seems to get bad, she will appear in front of her enemies out of nowhere.
 * - Atala: Where have you been, anyway?
 * - Katarina: Sorry, I am late.
 * - Atala: Don't play the hero, we all know you waited for this to happen to make an epic entrance!
 * - Katarina: Hmm... Maybe.
 * - All: MAYBE?!
 * - Ellen: What an annoying woman!
 * The Big Girl: When she's not in a leadership or main character role, she becomes this since she is one of the most powerful beings in the universe and is considered the 'heavy hitter' alongside Alliance of Freedom's male members among her group of friends.
 * Bizarre Alien Biology: Katarina is an ExKrieg who are Human Aliens who are insanely aggressive and love to fight, have red hair, red eyes, can transform into Berserkers and can transform into Red Haired Demons that changes their hair and eye colors while also greatly increasing their strength and speed. If they are pushed close to death and recover, they increase their strength. Despite this, they can interbreed with humans, creating even more powerful hybrids. In Katarina's case specifically, he has an enhance sense of smell, hearing, and sight.
 * Blood Knight: The extremely rare unambiguously heroic version. She lives for the thrill of the fight and is always looking for stronger opponents to battle for fun or merely because she wants to become stronger. Even when she's on the brink of death, she's always having fun, and seemingly insurmountable odds only EXCITE HER MORE. She also only fights opponents who are willing (most of the villains), and only kills as a last resort. This was also her primary motive in sparing Oriax's life. She also expresses a wish (later granted by Supreme God) to see Eckidina reincarnated as a good girl just so he can fight him again, which resulted in Echidna StinWalker being born after Eckidina became an Abyssal. She went so far as to put a hit on herself so Voldemort, the legendary assassin of DEM, will come to use her full power to fight her. Hell, this girl's such a Blood Knight that she projects this quality onto her half-human first born daughter, Rinslet Couteau.
 * Blue and Orange Morality: As an ExKrieg, it's in her blood to love fighting and combat, which has caused her to make poor decisions in the past. Sparing Aki Honda's life after their battle so she can fight her again as a worthy enemy and Petelgeuse to live are two of them. In Hell Saga, when Katarina's morality is questioned because of her love of fighting, Imperia calls Katarina kind-hearted but questions her righteousness. At the same time, she doesn't go looking for these kinds of situations, and is content to live a quiet life in the countryside, albeit one involving a lot of physical training. She seems to be aware that these situations find her, though.
 * Boisterous Bruiser: She loves to fight more than anything, is somewhat rude without meaning to, is not the brightest person in the world because she lacks a formal education, and amazingly grows up with a fine and hottie woman's built. She is also one of the most fun-loving, friendly, and happiest people in the story. As a child, she was even more this trope since she had no problem beating up people weaker than her with a huge grin on her face.
 * Book Dumb: She grew up without a formal education, aside from learning basic reading and math while. Before that she thought 14, not 12, came after 11, and afterwards it's revealed during her first fight with Aki Honda, 5 years prior the beginning of the story, that she still can't count past 25. Even as an adult, he still comes off as an idiot. As an adult, though she still can be naive and a little too willing to trust others, what keeps her from being an Idiot Heroine is that she can show surprising wisdom, and it's clear that her intelligence is focused on combat. When it comes to fighting and battle strategy (military and gaming included), she's a genius, able to point to pick up on the strengths and the flaws of various techniques, outthink her opponents with good strategies, and she can learn and invent new techniques with relative ease.
 * Break Them by Talking: Her battle against Leohart after she becomes a Legendary ExKrieg is half Roaring Rampage of Revenge and half this, surprisingly enough. She trash-talks Leohart during the whole battle, mocking her strength, appearance, intelligence, dreams and even his ideologies all the time, something that is definitely not usual for her at all. And the final blow which she intended to end the battle with is a deliberate, armor-piercing "The Reason You Suck" Speech to utterly obliterate Leohart's pride. Even when compared to all the physical punishment she receives during the fight, for Leohart that speech is probably the absolute worst part of the Humiliation Conga. And that's EXACTLY what Katarina is going for, since she understands that destroying Leohart's ego is a more fitting punishment than just killing him.
 * Brilliant, but Lazy: Katarina's IQ is above 300! In real life, this IQ is extremely high and is equal to the brains of 5 scientists together. Katarina is intelligent and can be very well be a genius but if it doesn't relate to fighting or getting stronger, Katarina has no interest in it. However, when comes to military battle plans, Katarina outmatch every single character of the story.
 * Broken Ace: The stronger she becomes the more heartbreak she is forced to deal with. Her badass boasts gain credibility the more she matures and she also grows beautiful to the point that Ara calls her her mature body of a "slut" and a weapons grade badass with various boys and girls in her new homeplanet taking a liking to her after she became a sloppy teacher at an University years after the end of the Cataclysmatic War. However, he also suffers massive guilt over not being able to save Imperia, hides deep insecurities behind a goofy attitude and smile and endures numerous Break the Cutie ordeals one which includes God sacrificing himself so he could seal Unit-CM 130 in another dimension.
 * Broken Hero: Between her past, Eugen, Vira and La Folia's death.
 * Brought Down to Badass: For the interim between the Genocide Arc of LOTM: A Draw of Kings and the next arc, Katarina is afflicted with Latent Energy Disorder as a result of using the Abyssal and ExKrieg energy at their 100% with Legendary ExKrieg, severely bottlenecking her power.
 * Bruiser with a Soft Center: One of her defining characteristic. Her friends often comment on how she can be so powerful, yet also so gentle. This also sticks out since she is an unapologetic Blood Knight.
 * Bully Hunter: A prime example. One of the types of people Katarina dislikes the most are those who intentionally abuse their power. She also despise the ExKriegs for being Space Pirates who commit genocide and wants nothing to do with her own race. Although Katarina doesn't grow stronger necessarily to protect others, she does believe that being powerful gives you certain responsibilities, like not terrorizing those weaker than you. This idea became so powerful that she started to hunt gangsters and criminals over Tenguu City at night, gaining the title of Red Haired Demon.
 * Butt-Monkey: The Fraxinus crew punishes her whenever she messes up her training. Punishments involve broadcasting embarrassing moments from her past, penalty games, and the like.
 * But Now I Must Go: When Aki Honda and Mafusa Gang invades Tenguu City, she immediately set off and gave a farewell to Mana and La Folia, thinking she might not return as she was going to settle her business with Aki Honda once for all.

"C" Tropes

 * Cain and Abel: THREE examples.
 * The Abel to Elesis' Cain, her evil-alter ego living inside of her mind who can also be considered her sister as they are two personalities who inherited two differents bloodlines. Katarina holds the power of the ExKrieg's biological while Elesis holds the power of the Abyssal's biological power.
 * The Abel to Vira's Cain, her adoptive sister who was once known as Eugen Katsuragi. Formerly, Eugen was a Cain character just like Katarina but her corruption by the Blackness turned her into a vicious psychopath with tendecies to genocide, spree-killing and even incest rape relationships.
 * The Abel to Alisa's Cain. While Katarina is the daughter of Mikaela and Isaac Westcott, Alisa is the daughter of Isaac with an unnamed sex slave he raped. The sex slave is never shown in the story but Isaac made sure to Alida grow up like a vicious and wicked murder.
 * Came Back Strong: As a racial trait of being an ExKrieg, Katarina can become stronger from coming back from near death... When she returned from Minecraftia, she returned 100% stronger as she was Killed For Real!
 * Can't Catch Up: In LOTM: A Draw of Kings especially, she shows frustration on how her friends depends on her to save the day because they simply can't keep up with the ever growing power of new threats coming from DEM Empire after she returned from Minecraftia.
 * Category Traitor: Yuuchiro outright declares her a traitor to the ExKrieg race for refusing to join the him in his quest to kill Isaac Westcott and take revenge for their race.
 * Cavalier Competitor: She is this unless it's clear her opponent's evil is greater than their desire for a good fight.
 * Cerebus Retcon: Katarina was eventually revealed to be part of a race of alien warriors who conquer planets after torturing, killing and even raping its population. The only reason she didn't wipe out humanity was because she suffered an injury in her head and because she learned love from her parents.
 * Challenge Seeker: Katarina loves to be challenged when she fights someone, rather they are friend or foe. Unlike other Blood Knights in the story, she wants to battle people who have a reasonable chance of defeating her since winning isn't her primary goal, but self-improvement.
 * Character Development: The Season 1 and Season 2 showed the most great example of the story with all characters, such as La Folia, who once was kind-hearted girl but became a sadistic queen. But Katarina was way more bigger.
 * In season 1, Katarina had no qualms about hurting for enemies like a beast. As time progressed and she got older, she starts to mellow out more and becomes more composed instead of acting like a creature searching for her next prey. There's also the fact that Katarina, as a child, had no concept of the morality of taking lives. She barely understood life and death to the point of being an amoral being, this of course caused her to suffering bullying from society. There are some times he killed purposely though, such as killing aMafusa Gangster after beating a student, not that gangster didn't deserve it. Another part of her no kill policy comes in later when many of her worst enemies became her loyal friends, realizing that if they could change, anyone could. When she does finally use lethal force against villains like Aki Honda and Aryana Westcott it's because she realizes that they're beyond redemption and rotten to the core. And even if she's made up his mind that her opponent needs to be killed, Katarina will show some degree of mercy to the villains if they are not ruthless bastards like Aki Honda, Ara Astaroth, Unit-CM 130 and among other monsters she faced before, while displaying regret that they weren't good people, because she'd rather have them as rivals and sparring partners.
 * She also gets Older and Wiser as the series progresses. As mentioned above, she's still very much a Blood Knight but she mellows out considerably and tries to avoid taking a life if she can, and uses a lot more strategy in combat and training, to the point that she masters it to an art form and many of her allies consider her a genius when it comes to fighting. She also gains a better understanding of the world and people around her, while still being goofy and kind of naive.
 * Character Tics: Like her father, she tends to cross her arms when flattered.
 * Cheerful Child: As a child, she is a relentlessly happy person despite most of the stuff that happens to her like the death of her parents at an early age and living alone in the mountains for a number of years. However, over time, her happiness finally faded and she became an emotionless delinquent.
 * Childhood Brain Damage: It's stated that the reason why Katarina doesn't share the violent nature of ExKrieg is that she received a blow to the head while she was a baby. This blow caused her mind to be split in too, thus creating Katarina Couteau. Yes, before this blow, the person in control of the body was Elesis but this impact caused a new personality known as Katarina to be the main host of the body while Elesis was kept sleeping inside of her mind until her power started to flow.
 * Childhood Friend Romance: With Rentaro, the boy who has admired, acknowledged, and loved her for the way she is since the day they met. Rentaro was a bullying and above all, arrogant... But when Katarina beat him up, he started to feel bad for the things he has done. Years later, it was him who was suffering bullying when Katarina, this time, rescued him instead of punching him like years ago. Of course, she started to grow feelings for him too but she had no knowledge of love to understand what she was feeling towards him.
 * Child Soldiers: Although she wasn't sent to Earth to destroy it like originally believed, it isn't unusual for Frontier Babies to be sent out when they're no more than three.
 * Chick Magnet: When she crossdress like a man, many girls of Ratatoskr implies she is way more "handsome" than most men in Fraxinus. It turns out she accidentally became a famous false "harem king" because of that.
 * The Chosen One: Played With. Yuuchiro firmly believes that one needs to be the Chosen One to become the reincarnation of the Legendary ExKrieg, the warrior that saved the Multi-Universe from the Fallen I and his Abyssal Empire, something that should be achieved by him since he is the son of the ExKrieg King. After being beaten to near death by Darth Hades, he concludes that Katarina is the real Chosen One destined to ascend and defeat the Balam Alliance to save the Multi-Universe once again after trillion years after the original ExKrieg's death. According to the legend, each 500 sixtillion years, an ExKrieg will become the incarnation of the Legendary ExKrieg one the Multi-Universe is facing a dangerous threat. However, it turns out it was nothing like that. The reason why Katarina was able to form a link the original ExKrieg was because of her pure heart that is different from all other corrupt and vicious ExKriegs. Even after her death, there will be another ExKrieg who will become her reincarnated version in the next generation of omniverses.
 * Chronic Hero Syndrome: He cannot bring himself to pass by someone in need, even if they are the worst beings in the universe.
 * Color Motif: Red. Her clothing is largely consistent of red clothing and the color represents her Scarlet hair as well as her ExKrieg's bloodline.
 * Comically Invincible Hero: Early on her absurd invulnerability is Played for Laughs most of the time. Not so much with A Draw of Kings, although does show up at times like the Sith battles.
 * Confusion Fu: Katarina may not be the brightest bulb nor have a style, but her fast mind and unpredictable nature mean that she can land surprising strategies.
 * Contagious Heroism: After being forced into Enemy Mine situations with Katarina; Oriax, Mey, Ellen Mira Mathers, and Chinatsu become more heroic and selfless characters, although it takes Chinatsu a long time to reach this point. She's also able to spread this to Future Maria of all people.
 * Cooldown Hug: Gives one to Elesis in their meeting at the end of Mafusa Gang's Revenge sub arc to prove she still cares for her Elesis.
 * Create Your Own Villain: The Rise of Qliphoth's timeline shows that Imperia would have continued to serve the light despite her grudge against life for many years  for sadistic tendecnies. However, Katarina's meeting with Ara triggered the Cyborg's Darkness, eventually leading her to start planning mass genocide of all life for the mere sake of having fun with pain. In other words, if Katarina decided to let the Witch Cult deal with Ara in some way (which would probably fail), Imperia would have never met Ara, who would later seduce her with promises of war and massacres. This meeting caused the evil Future Imperia, Achyls, be born.
 * Not to mention that she indirecly killed Eugen Katsuragi, resulting in her being born as Vira. If Katarina decided to finish off Aki Honda, she would have never killed Eugen in the first place, preveting her from being revived as a Black Demon centuries ahead in the future.
 * Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: It is very easy to forget, given her laid back and childish demeanor, that she is one of the strongest beings in the universe and is currently one of the strongest mortal fighter in omniverse.
 * Cruel Mercy: It really depends on your point of view but when Sonia Nevermind was cut limb by limb by the ruthless Yuuki Terumi, Katarina would probably suggested to send Sonia to a Heal Tank inside of Fraxinus to restore her body as she was cursed with Terumi's immortality, preventing her from dying no matter in how many pieces her body is cut. Instead of letting her live, she thought it was better to get rid of her physical body by exploding it release her soul from the suffering. But like said above, it's all a matter of view.
 * Curb-Stomp Cushion: When she first goes Legendary ExKrieg against Diabla; though Diabla manages to land several good blows and puts up a decent fight, she burns through her stamina too quickly to be a serious threat to Katarina for long.
 * Cursed with Awesome: Having the Elesis sealed and the brutal ExKrieg tendecies within her makes nearly everyone in the town hate her, but the trade off is access to Elesis' energy in addition to rapidly developing her personal energy reserves to the point where she has more raw power than most Magicians, Magi-Tech users, Cyborgs, Gods, Demons, Angels and Spirit before the story even begins.
