Katrina

Katrina is one of the companions of the Avatar.

It is not known on who she is based on in real-life.

A native of Earth, and friend of Lord British, in Britannia Katrina was a Shepherd, and the only survivor when the Daemons under Virtuebane attacked and destroyed old Magincia. In Ultima IV she was still living in the ruins of the destroyed city, but gladly joined the future Avatar in his quest for the Codex of Ultimate Wisdom. Later, Magincia was resettled as New Magincia, and Katrina became one of its first citizens.

By Ultima V, she was actively preparing to go into battle against Blackthorn's regime, when the Avatar arrived on the island. She gladly joined him/her on the quest to restore Lord British to power.

In Ultima VI, she still lived on the island, quietly using her time for farming. When the Avatar arrived to find the Rune of Humility, she joined him/her in this quest to restore peace to Britannia. However, while a humble person, she was clearly not the most humble one (that was Conor).

However, 200 years later, by Ultima VII, she had enough of the quiet life, and wanted adventure. So she joined the Avatar's party, when he came to New Magincia to speak with Alagner. This also allowed her to help with mystery of a stolen locket, which she had given to Henry so that he could impress his love.

In Ultima IX, she still was on the island, but came under the influence of the column. Later she helpen in the final fight.

Trivia

 * Katrina is the only of the eight companions, who can ALWAYS be found in the same place: New Magincia.
 * Natassia in Cove in Ultima VII looks like her portrait in Ultima VI. Makes you wonder what Katrina's love life had looked like in the 200 years ;).
