Katarina Du Couteau

<tabber>
|-|Katarina=
==Summary==
Decisive in judgment and lethal in combat, Katarina is a Noxian assassin of the highest caliber. Eldest daughter to the legendary General Du Couteau, she made her talents known with swift kills against unsuspecting enemies. Her fiery ambition has driven her to pursue heavily-guarded targets, even at the risk of endangering her allies—but no matter the mission, Katarina will not hesitate to execute her duty amid a whirlwind of serrated daggers.
|-|Battle Academia Katarina=
==Summary==
Katarina is a rough-edged loner who stays far away from the politics of Durandal Academy. A 2nd year student with a chip on her shoulder, she is also a top member of the Assassin Club—the only club on campus allowed to kill opponents in school-sanctioned duels. Few other students ever dare approach her.
|-|PROJECT Katarina=
==Summary==
Once an ambitious lieutenant in the G/NETIC rebellion, Katarina returned to the Command Line after a confrontation with Ashe herself. Her hyper edge daggers now serve PROJECT once more, but those rebels who knew her still hold out hope that she fights for them from the inside.
|-|Warring Kingdoms Katarina=
==Summary==
In open defiance of her clan, Katarina has left behind the life of a princess to hunt the greatest heroes of the Warring Kingdoms. Striking under shadow of night, she is slowly cutting her way through her foes...one general at a time.

Intelligence: Gifted (Katarina is a Noxian assassin of the highest caliber and widely credited as being one of the most skilled and deadliest blade masters in the entire world. Having trained virtually non-stop since her early childhood in the arts of the assassin, Katarina spent every waking moment honing herself into the ultimate weapon capable of using virtually anything as a tool to kill someone with. She is highly skilled in stealth, both for assassinations, with many of her missions involving sneaking into heavily fortified locations to kill high-ranking officials and military leaders, and in direct combat, able to kill entire rooms of soldiers before they can react and kill an entire squadron of guards using just their dull shadows in a dark room to know their position. Throughout her training she gained a mastery of battlefield and environmental control, able to use anything in the environment to catch enemies off guard and keep them off balance, such as knocking down chandeliers to simultaneously crush enemies and throw off the senses of those that were not hit by destroying light sources, allowing her to take advantage of their panic and the reduced efficiency of their reflexes. She has extensive knowledge of misdirection tactics, knowing how to lead her opponent's intuition astray and trick their instinct into betraying them, a tactic she commonly uses in conjunction with her Shunpo, tricking enemies into attacking where she is not or allowing them to see part of her method of teleportation involving teleporting to her knives to trick her opponent into thinking she will teleport, thus causing them to leave themselves open. She is also highly skilled with her teleportation in direct combat, constantly teleporting into blind spots to catch opponents off guard and using her own momentum carried through her teleportation to add force to her strikes, allowing her to cut through material that just throwing her knives couldnt accomplish. Her skill in direct combat is such that Talon, another assassin personally trained by Katarina's father, stated that, upon observing her, her combat style is brutally efficient, her killer instincts weaving each of her strikes into hidden patterns that allow her to seamlessly translate her thoughts into action, able to mask subtle movements with grand gestures and adapt to exploit every weakness presented to her. Katarina has even gone so far as to regularly match opponents as skilled as Garen and Talon in combat, with Talon acknowledging that during their fight she could have easily killed him on three separate occasions as opposed to him only having the potential to do so to her once. Even after she was excommunicated by her father she was hand-picked by Swain to be his personal assassin.)
Weaknesses: None notable
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Sinister Steel: Whenever Katarina retrieves a Dagger, she uses it to slash through all nearby enemies, dealing magic damage.
*Bouncing Blade: Katarina throws a Dagger at the target enemy that bounces to up to 2 nearby enemies, dealing magic damage to each target. The Dagger bounces to targets regardless of having sight of them or not, and lands on the ground after hitting its last target.
*Preparation: Katarina tosses a Dagger into the air above her current location, gaining bonus movement speed until it lands.
*Shunpo: Katarina teleports to the target location around the target unit or Dagger, dealing magic damage to the nearest enemy in range.
*Death Lotus: Katarina rapidly spins in place for a few seconds, throwing numerous daggers at up to 3 nearby enemy champions, dealing magic damage and grievously wounding them. Katarina does not need to have vision of the target to hit them, and she will prioritize the closest ones.
