User:IGKilim/RSRS Katarina Lauran

Katarina Lauran (カタリナ・ラウラン Katarina Rauran?) is a main character in Romancing SaGa 3. She is only playable in her scenario and cannot be recruited, but she does join both Mikhail and Harid briefly at the beginning of their stories.

Monika places great trust in Katarina, seeing as how she is her personal bodyguard. Mikhail places trust in her as the guardian of the Masquerade; a remnant of the Holy King given to the royal family of Loanne.

S - "Masquerade"=

Katarina's S variant comes equipped with the ability to grasp Flowing Slash, an incredibly useful Skill that can debuff. Other than that, she is relatively servicable but is outshined by her SS variant in every possible way. "Thank you for thinking about me. This just may be my final farewell." "If someone doesn't sacrifice themselves, we'll all die. I will step forward." "I will protect Loanne with my life"

Other Notes
SS - "Leave This to Me!"=

Katarina's SS style made many think she would be the poster child for the game, as she has great stats and other perks like Waning Moon. However, due to her lackluster Style releases, Katarina slowly just phased out of the public light in general. Even then, she had a time when she was considered worthwhile thanks to her New Years variant.

This isn't to say she's awful by any means, when Hardy Wallop is in effect she deals a fair amount of damage, and Smash is a very spammable skill when awakened.
