#with a lot of mental baggage and stuff. also although she fought with humans side by side on the battlefield ->

although catalina’s genshin counterpart is very gentle and kind, there’s still an underlying sinister force inside her. like, as much as she was loved, she was also feared. many felt uneasy in her presence, and her divinity felt like this ghostly whisper in one’s ear.

she was feared bc she wasn’t only a queen known for her kindness and generosity, but a skilled swordswoman unafraid of the battlefield. before her and andrius signed a peace treaty, she forcefully fought him off her land. they butted heads more times than u could count on both hands.

and she very obviously needs to be feared in some capacity bc of who she’s based off of. she based off catalina wolfe— aka the ORIGINAL catalina and one of my very first ocs. and that woman was utterly despicable and chaotic evil. there was no justification to anything she did, and she was selfish beyond belief. and even though that was bc of the generational curse in her family, that’s not an excuse for the harm she caused to thousands.

catalina blair might be a more softer and kinder version of the original catalina, but deep down, there’s an evil lurking. and that evil comes out when her descendants decide to be idiots and revive her. she wastes no time in enacting her revenge, too.
