Presently, upon regaining her memories of her previous life as a humble Japanese schoolgirl, she turns into a kind individual. She is honest with her feelings and is not afraid to extend a hand to someone in trouble. As a child, Katarina became a tomboy who enjoys sweets and romance novels. She can be highly competitive and had a bit of a mischievous streak as a child, most of which mellowed out as a young adult. She loves nature, having been a skilled tree climber in her original life which transferred into her current life. She also develops an interest in gardening and farming vegetables, mainly as a contingency plan in case she is exiled in some of the routes Katarina ends up in. Even after she made it through the point of all of the death flags endings, she continues to maintain her hobby as she has come to enjoy doing so. Katarina's greatest trait is her overwhelming charisma due in part to her honest and open personality. Very few people who have genuinely met her have not been at the very least intrigued by her personality and behaviors, mostly a stark contrast to typical noble decorum as one would expect of a lady of her status. Even when kidnapped, she got to know her captor and immediately struck up a friendship in a short conversation. She has unintentionally charmed many individuals as a result and finds herself surrounded by friends whom she genuinely cares about and vice-versa. Katarina is a heavy glutton with unparalleled appetite with a particularly sweet tooth who can gobble piles of food and could theoretically keep at its ad eternal if it depended on her own volition (an extra drawing shows her beating all the princes in an eating contest), but mostly prevented from doing so due to normal physical limitations. Sweets are a particular weak point for Katarina and are often a very effective weapon at keeping her from doing anything else or distracting her.
