First of all, Iet's characterise Kate. My understanding of her is that she is a good-hearted woman with a passionate and devoted heart. Her personality and attitude change depending on the route she is in and which suitor she is matched with. That said, I do think in some routes she is not really herself as of my understanding of her. I will elaborate on that in a moment ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧
I will now go into more detail about this while showing you my final ranking.
(I have read all routes including Crown & Vogel)
Beware of possible spoilers!
12. Kate x Darius
The worst pair for me. I don't really think it is realistic for Darius to fall in love with a human. Not if he thinks their are lesser beings than him. (·•᷄ࡇ•᷅ )
I liked his route but I do think Kate was a bit too "desperate" in a way. I do admire her commitment regarding following and loving Darius. But it wasn't completely like her, I believe. The fact that she realised that she loved him while he was forcing himself on her is wild to me.
And let's not talk about their color palette. Gold is washing her out a LOT. Yes, it is Darius favorite color, but that's another reason for me to put these two last, sorry.
11. Kate x Roger
Hmm. Kate is more confident in this route and I like that for her. She has to show courage. Roger needs someone who can bite back and prove herself. Though, I feel like that he does need someone other than Kate. Someone who is naturally more confident and robust (ง'̀-'́)ง (And I personally think he is into more chubby girls??). For her, I feel like he is more of a friend and a (not so good) older brother.
Quite some time has passed since I last read his route so I don't have to talk about much else. Oh but I do think their color palettes match well (˶ˆᗜˆ˵).
10. Kate x Jude
I get their dynamic. It is true that Kate has tendencies for masochism, but it's really extreme with him. But same thing with Roger, he needs someone else. Not a Kate made to fit his character, if you get what I mean.
I loved how she talks back and how witty she is. But it's not the way I would characterise Kate... (⊙_⊙) She IS funny and can talk back, even in other routes. But not as Jude would need and like it, I think. Sooo yes, a whole other character would be better for him.
Their color palettes match quite well. Still not my favorite though.
9. Kate x Nica
Love their dynamic! I like the fact that he is a hard shell to crack but has a really soft side. The way he protects his brother and wants to have Kate in his future is really heartwarming to me.
But I don't like how naive she is portrait is his route.
Yes it partly has to do with his ability to make people fall in love with him, but the way she just completely fell for him? Even before him using his curse? ∘ ∘ ∘ ( °ヮ° ) ? I would REALLY like to hear your opinion on this because I don't think Kate is this down bad in most other routes.
And also, I do feel like Kate would rather fall for someone who isn't so much of a player ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
8. Kate x Alfons
Oh well. I love them together. I really do. Alfons is a deeply hurt and probably misunderstood character. He is a lot of work and not easy to understand at times. So, he needs someone who takes her time with him. To figure him out and to make him believe that maybe there is a chance he can get close with someone other than Lord Elbert. And Kate does have a really patient and devoted character.
But to me, something is icky about their relationship... I don't see Alfons as someone who truly settles with one person. Some events do feel out of character for me, especially when it comes to his tragic end.
And same as Nica, he is too much of a player.
7. Kate x Ellis
Both are really kind hearted and want to be helpful to everyone. It's a good match. Their colors match as well, though not as good as others. He would give her the world and more, if he could.
He is obsessed with her. And thats a character trait I think matches her personality really well. Kate is someone who wants to be desired, loved and cherished in an extreme way. And I think that's her toxic trait. She doesn't mind being loved like this, as long as the other person isn't to hurt by this feeling. A lot of events and / or routes show this type of behavior. Whenever it comes up that the suitor is jealous or wants to have her for himself, she likes it. She feels loved and appreciated that way. So it makes sense for her to stay by this persons side (she can get quite jealous herself from time to time).
Though it creeps me out that he wants to kill Kate one day (っ º - º ς) I mean, I get it. It makes sense for his character (and he is one of my faves). But it just doesn't vibe with what I think Kate would want.
6. Kate x Harrison
The most average guy in the best way ٩(^ᗜ^ )و ´-
Probably the most healthy relationship of all, as he is really considered of her and her feelings. He is a kind hearted guy with lots of love to spear. He does get quite jealous at times, which again matches Kate desire to be wanted.
Their colors look good together as well!
5. Kate x Liam
Her patience shines through! Liam is a deeply hurt character with zero confidence.
But he is loving, kind hearted and cheerful. He makes sure that Kate is happy and has a smile on her face all the time. Liam can't stand seeing her getting hurt. And he hates it whenever someone takes to much of her time. He gets deeply insecure about it too and that's why he needs someone patient and understanding. Someone willing not to give up on him. And Kate is a great match for him! He wants to feel safe in someone's arms and she makes sure he does.
But I do personally feel like that they are better of as (best) friends, rather than a couple. But that's just me ≽^•⩊•^≼
4. Kate x William
Knowing that he is the main villain the game focuses on, it's quite hard for me to put him here... but in my eyes there are better suitors for Kate. Not only is red not the best color for her, she does need someone who wants her. And yes, especially in the sequel preview it shows that he does care for her and her well being. But they don't match as good as other people do!
But I like them together. Especially that he wants her to focus on the things she wants. I like how he provokes and challenges her.
3. Kate x Victor ⭑.ᐟ
With him, it's about the mutual respect. He sees her as a woman. Someone who is equal to him, maybe even someone to worship. He wants her for his own, but is soo respectful about it. The backstory they share is truly amazing and I feel like it's one of the best matches for Kate.
He also needed a lot of reassurance and encouragement, as well as Kate's devotion and willingness to share a wicked life with him. That's Kate's strength. She doesn't easily give up on the person she cares about.
I really like them together.
2. Kate x Ring ⭑.ᐟ
God, he loves her! I like the dynamic they share a lot. She encourages him to voice his own desires and go against Darius. Kate helps him build confidence and trust, by being honest and patient with him. That's normally the suitors role and it's nice to see Kate being the one to actually encourage the love interest!
In return he worships the ground she walks on. He loves her so so much! He worries a lot about her and in his wedding event he didn't even want anyone else to see her look so beautiful. Ring is obsessed with her. They match perfectly.
And they look lovely together ⸜(。˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡
1. Kate x Elbert ⭑.ᐟ
Best match so far! Their color palettes and the way they treat each other, equally obsessed and devoted? #perfection
This is the most extreme example for worshipping and wanting someone. Elbert needs validation, reassurance, love and eyes only focused on him. And Kate needs someone who really truly wants only her and no one else. They give each other exactly what they need (∩˃o˂∩)♡
⭑.ᐟ
Conclusion: Kate needs someone who desires her. A guy who wants her all for himself and someone who is only hers as well. She wants to be worshipped and will accept a lot of things if her partner is doing it out of love. She goes well with guys who need patience and someone willing to understand them. Guys who need reassurance and lots of attention, soft words and loving touch.
⭑.ᐟ
If someone is curious about my faves for this debate: Harrison, Ring, Ellis & Liam (づ ᴗ _ᴗ)づ♡
