Background

Katejina is a strong-willed seventeen year old girl from the fictional European city Woowig. Separated from her parents around the time of the destruction of her home town by the invading BESPA forces of the Zanscare Empire, Katejina joins the League Militaire with young Üso Ewin; however, Katejina disapproves of the League's reliance on Üso as a Gundam pilot due to the mounting toll on his young body and mind.

Katejina is captured by Lt. Chronicle Asher and taken to the Zanscare Empire, where she becomes Chronicle's personal assistant. Later, she is trained as a soldier, eventually becoming a mobile suit ace; it is during this period that her attraction to Chronicle, and hatred of Üso, begins to grow. Her personal support for Maria's matriarchal ideals, her annoyance at Üso's continual attempts to interfere with what she views as her true happiness, and her sheer admiration for Chronicle turn her into a dangerous Zanscare loyalist. She and Üso battle on several occasions, where she succeeds in killing several members of the Strike Team and Odelo Henrik in the process. However, she ultimately loses her memory while fighting Üso during the Battle of Angel Halo.

After she is defeated by Üso in the Battle of Angel Halo, Katejina suffers severe brain damage: lose of her sight and her memories, as well as irreversible mental damage from the fight. She is last seen wandering the streets a begger, homeless and forgotten.
