10, 14 and 15!

10. Would your OC prefer to live in the city, the suburbs, or the country?

She would prefer to live outside of the city,  choosing for the country, but she simply can’t. Her staying in the city-centre of Noxus would make sure she gets to keep playing a pretty important part for Noxus itself. Despite the country being generally more safer, she would be too scared that Swain would no longer take the Du Couteau’s seriously. 

14. Happy birthday! What kind of present would your OC want?

Katarina has been gifted knifes, daggers and short swords by most people, every year. Though she loves them and stores them carefully, she could be made most happy with something a little more personal and thought-through. Or a good book. 

15. Something that grosses your OC out?

Babies, for sure.

How does katarina aim her knives so impeccably? She can land knives while spinning at a great velocity while blinded and bring down creatures with alien anatomies. How do they all land perfectly all the time?

Well, technically, if you’re talking about her skills on the fields of justice (assuming they would still exist), they are enhanced. Of course they are. Just as it had been spoken about by some official Rioters, the alterations of champions already start by merely adjusting their sizes. Malphite could step on Teemo and instantly kill the poor thing with little to no effort, since Malphite would be about as big as the entire playing field (source). 

This being said, it is obvious that there is some kind of messing with abilities when fighting for one’s city-state (or void-state, whatever). 

Though, Katarina’s own ways with the blade are barely matched in skill. She has been practicing almost sooner than when she could walk, it being pretty obvious that Katarina wasn’t made to be a proper lady. Marcus would make sure she was trained by the best in wielding a blade or dagger yet too at throwing them. Of course, she plays her assassinations way smarter than the shiny look she has to make things look like when on the fields. She can throw them while spinning-- being the over-achiever as she is, yet it cuts back greatly on the strength and precision she is known for.

|| It's not that Katarina doesn't want her father to return, it's that hoping and wanting him to return was wrecking her mentally (and physically). She hasn't given up, she just tries not to think of it. It's better to think that he's never coming back and be surprised when he does, rather than think he's coming back and be disappointed and broken when he doesn't. ||

//Whats is kats favorite place to visit? (Besides noxus)

If it comes to other city-states, Katarina is most fond of Bilgewater. This because of the mentality that people from there hold and ofcourse because she is welcome there as a Noxian-- which is a rare thing. And, yeah... Booze. 

Being honest, though, Katarina holds interest in every city-state Valoran holds-- even Demacia. She holds an interest in the culture of other’s, and though she would never abandon Noxus ever, she does have days where she wishes she had more chances to just simply go out and discover what truly is her favorite place to visit.

askolaftheberserker || I am not completely against it, I could see the two having a fun drink off one night, but not really more than that. Noxian assassin or not, Katarina is a lady. Or at least, up to a certain point. She thinks of Olaf as too rude and blunt, and often too angry. Katarina needs a calm, yet fun personality to go along with her grumpy being. Someone to, well, hold her back, rather than someone that would only encourage her violent acts. ||

Does Kat like to travel outside of Noxus? Any favorite place she's most fond of?

Katarina used to travel along with her father when she was younger and he was still around. She used to discover and play around while her father was off doing political things, or assassinations. Marcus, however, used to be interested in other locations and cultures– not that he respected them, though– and Katarina seemed to have inherited the same interest. She loves spending time outside of Noxus and getting in touch with other cultures, yet her being a Noxian and all, she often isn’t very accepted. 

If there is one favorite place for her to go, it would surely be Bilgewater. The people there are careless and free, while not being as brutal as the average Noxian. The inns are good and the booze is even better: Katarina often comes there in free weekends, to enjoy being released from whatever responsibilities she has earned from her father’s disappearance. 

She too is rather fond of the beautiful Ionian culture and land, yet she is well aware that Noxians– no matter how decent they seem to be– aren’t welcome there.

// We know Katarina is skillful with blades but has she dabbled in long-range weapons before? :3c

Katarina is no fan of the most ranged weapons she knows. Guns, in her opinion, are only items that fake someone’s strength. Take Jinx, for example. Without Pow-Pow, Fishbones and Zap she wouldn’t have any power at all: She’d just be some weird maniac. In Katarina’s way of thinking guns are just disgusting and horrible items that murder without needing any actual skill to do so. 

She does, however, have a slight interest after long-ranged weapons that do require skill. The first she likes, but never will use, is the use of magical equipment. The second is the art of using a bow or crossbow. She has practiced with the crossbow often enough, yet she doesn’t happen to be as good with it as that she is with her short swords and daggers.

|| Katarina really is a rather short woman. She's about 5'4/5'5, while for example, Ashe and Caitlyn would be around 5'9. I guess. ||
