“	I'm...not like them anymore. Kris... I want to be of use to you. That feeling is mine and mine alone. Not just some order! But my own truest desire... My treasure.	”	— Katarina

Katarina (Japanese: カタリナ Katarina) is a tactician and mage in the service of Altea. Formerly one of Eremiya's assassins under the name Reese (Japanese: アイネ Eine), she was originally tasked with infiltrating the Altean knights to assassinate Marth, but instead came to befriend and care for her fellow Altean recruits. Though she fled Altea after her attempt on Marth's life failed and her true identity as an assassin revealed to all, she was later persuaded to leave Eremiya's service by Kris.

Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem

Role

Katarina appears throughout New Mystery of the Emblem as a major character. She is first a major NPC in the Prologue chapters as a member of the 7th Platoon and Kris's friend. However, in Prologue 8, she reveals herself to be an assassin working with Clarisse and Legion under Eremiya, attempting to kill Marth: she is fought as the boss of this chapter. She appears in a cutscene at the end of Chapter 13x, where she attempts to save Clarisse from her wounds: however, Eremiya refuses to allow her to do so, and Clarisse dies.

She appears as the boss of Chapter 16x, and can be recruited if Kris talks to her three times in succession. After this, she joins Marth's army for the remainder of the game.

Katarina also appears as a playable character in the bonus episode Three Assassins, set before the events of the main game.

As with a number of other characters in New Mystery of the Emblem, there is a unique weapon named for Katarina available through Everyone's Conditions: Reese's Tome.

Analysis

This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience.

Katarina joins late into the game, but compensates in many ways. She joins as a Sage, a promoted class, so she can reclass into any promoted class available for females. Her weapon ranks are incredible; B-rank tomes is very high, and C-rank staves is also useful. She can use Physic staves at base, so she may contribute as a support unit. She is also a solid combat unit, because B-rank tomes is enough for Nosferatu and Aura.

To reach her full potential, Katarina needs some investment. Katarina does not excel as a combat unit unless the player gives her several Speedwings. Otherwise, she has doubling issues, and while her base stats are good, she will not one-round.

If she does receive two or more Speedwings, Katarina becomes excellent at fighting. With Nosferatu, she can fight on enemy phase despite her frailty. Enemy resistance tends to be lower than defense, letting Katarina deal high damage. Even in higher difficulties, she can face many enemies and one-round them. On player phase, Katarina can nuke foes with Aura or use Cutting Gale to debilitate fliers. To double faster enemies, Katarina can reclass into Swordmaster. As a swordmaster, Katarina can use the Levin Sword. She is a good user of it thanks to her good base magic of 7. The player can also give Katarina a few Spirit Dusts to maximize her offense.

Even when she is not fighting, Katarina can contribute with staves. C-rank is enough for Physic and Warp. If she reaches B-rank, she also gains access to Recover and Again. Should the player not want to use her as a combat unit, she can stay back and heal allies.

Katarina underperforms in physical classes, because her personal stats are magic-oriented. Her best classes also tend to have low defenses, making Katarina frail. That said, she can circumvent her low durability in a few ways. She can use Nosferatu as a Sage to heal herself by dealing damage, as long as she can counter. Katarina is also a good user of Seraph Robes, especially if the player intends to make her fight on enemy phase.

Used to her full potential, Katarina can trivialize parts of New Mystery. Even in high difficulties, her ability to enemy-phase with Nosferatu is remarkable. She is a support and combat unit in one, and among the best users of investment in the game. Her only competition is Linde, who has an availability lead and can also use Aura. That said, Katarina's personal bases and initial weapon ranks are superior.

Fire Emblem Awakening

Role

Two versions of Katarina are playable as bonus characters: a SpotPass version, released with the New Mystery of the Emblem character set, and a DLC version as part of the Apotheosis DLC package, the final DLC character released.

Katarina appears as an ally unit in the DLC chapter Lost Bloodlines 1 and as an enemy unit in the DLC chapters Lost Bloodlines 2 and 3 and Rogues & Redeemers 1, 2, and 3, serving as the boss of Rogues & Redeemers 2.

As with several other legacy characters in Awakening, there is a unique weapon named for Katarina available through the Barracks or event tiles: Katarina's Bolt.

Wayward One Torchlit Wanderer

Katarina: Wayward One
Katarina is a trainee tactician who belongs to the 7th Platoon of Altea’s royal knights.	When she took the Altean knights’ recruitment test, Katarina teamed up with Kris, and passed with flying colors. The two were then assigned to the 7th Platoon.	Kris was made the leader of the platoon, with Katarina serving as its tactician-in-training. They continued to perform as a fantastic team, and were victorious in a number of battles!	However, Katarina has a big secret that she hasn’t revealed even to Kris—or so I hear. I wonder what it could be!

Serves Marth as a royal guard. One of a group of assassins plotting to kill Marth. Katarina’s friend. Cruel and lacks manners, but yearns for a family. {{{Related_blurb3}}} {{{Related_blurb4}}} {{{Related_blurb5}}}

Katarina: Torchlit Wanderer
Katarina is a trainee strategist who was assigned to Altea's 7th Platoon alongside Kris. Don't tell anyone, but they're going undercover to infiltrate a festival, and that's why she's wearing Plegian-style attire!	Plegia is infamous for the baking sands of its deserts, and perhaps that's why Plegian clothing tends to…leave little to the imagination. Katarina might need some time to get used to the look, but I think she's blending right in!	Incidentally, I hear that torch she's carrying has a special power. They say that Plegian magic is all about hexes and curses, so I'm curious about what that torch can do!	Katarina and Kris might be working undercover for a mission, but I don't think there's any problem with them enjoying the festival while they're at it, do you? In fact, I'd say that's the best way for them to hide in plain sight!

Trivia

• Katarina is the only character to have two different character-based weapons named after her: Reese's Tome in New Mystery of the Emblem, and Katarina's Bolt in Awakening. However, their localized names position the tomes as being based on her two different identities, as opposed to both being based on a single alias.
• If Katarina is fought as an enemy in New Mystery of the Emblem's multiplayer arena, she will use the assassin's boss theme for her battle music as she does in the main story.
