Probably one of the funniest things about Katarina Claes is how she has unwittingly amassed this harem, but she actively ships thd members of said harem XD The woman's a shipper on deck while being the face that launched a thousand ships XD
I absolutely love that about Katarina’s character.
And your description of her – “A shipper on deck while being the face that launched a thousand ships”
Katarina is someone who loves romance and is very aware of romantic tropes, but yet is completely oblivious to everyone’s feelings for her. It’s absolutely hilarious.
Katarina is an active romantic at heart. With her love of Otome Games and Romance Novels, but she will do backflips to avoid the obvious conclusion that everyone is in love with her.
We literally have the girls confessing their feelings for Katarina when Katarina’s specifically asks about romance and her just being like – “That’s sweet. But I wanted to know who they romantically like.”
Geordo is whispering sweet-nothings into her ear, is deeply invested in agriculture and sweets (giving them to her), and visited her like 3 times a week when they were growing up (if not more).
She knows (to some degree) that the only girl Geordo mentions is herself, but yet still assumes that the second he mentions Maria, he’s in love. Because she’s never known Geordo to mention another girl in front of her…because he’s always talking about Katarina.
Katarina sees potential couplings in
-- Maria and all the guys
-- Keith and Nicol
-- Keith and Mary
-- Alan and Mary
And the thing that gets me about Katarina briefly thinking their is a romantic triangle between Keith, Mary and Alan, is that she herself is kind of in the same situation.
Particularly in regards to Alan and Nicol, who are deeply in love with Katarina, but are reluctant to act on their feelings and are the most likely to repress them, because she is engaged to Geordo, their friend and brother.
Also, in no way should Katarina ever want Maria to be with one of the guys, aside from Alan, technically.
In her mind, Geordo and Keith falling in love with Maria is her downfall and she has no idea what happens in Nicol’s route in regards to Katarina. But yet…
She can become an odd mix of excitement and anxiousness when it comes to Maria having “romantic moments” with one of the guys or even feel bad for realizing she’s ruined said “romantic moment,” only for her to realize that’s what she wants.
She also states that she wants Alan’s “Beloved” song to be about Mary, not Maria, because she thinks Mary being downright territorial to Katarina is a way Mary expresses her feeling for Alan.
I just love her so much…she has romance on the brain and sees couples and ships everywhere and despite all the odds or maybe because she’s always looking at other people, she never realizes she’s the romantic lead of her own story…
She’s perfect and I love her.
