Katie Killjoy

"*Good morning, Pride Ring! It's everybody's favorite news anchor, back from physical therapy after the not-so-sweet-and-innocent princess of Hell, Charlie Magne, nearly broke my neck and caused quite the shitshow right here in the newsroom! This is who's supposed to redeem all of us, folks! But don't worry! I'm back on air to bring you all the latest news about that little passion project of hers and all the, let's face it, washed-up, desperate souls within! For instance: Did you know the hotel was founded on an ancient Injun burial ground? It's true!*"
— Katie Killoy.

**Katie Killjoy** is a recurring antagonist in *Hazbin Hotel: Journey to the Light*.

She is the narcissistic head anchor of the 666 News and the second archenemy of Charlie Magne (behind Hellsa). Throughout the series, she uses her platform to damage the already unfavorable reputation of the Hazbin Hotel either by twisting new developments or straight up making false allegations.

## Personality

Katie is a pompous, mean-spirited, abusive, and self-absorbed woman who treats everyone around her with malice and cruelty because she believes she is too rich and influential to care about their feelings. She views Charlie's dreams of rehabilitating sinners as hilarious, and mocks the princess endlessly. She is also rather vengeful, doing everything in her power to ruin the reputation of the Hazbin Hotel to destroy Charlie's dream, simply because the princess fought back against her when Killjoy attacked her. She constantly spreads gossip and false information on the Hazbin Hotel, the Resistance, and anyone who slights her, feigning a neck injury after her fight with Charlie, and making up ludicrous lies about the Hazbin Hotel. She also does not care the slightest bit about her co-workers, pouring hot coffee on Tom Trench's lap and verbally abusing him numerous times, as well as using him as a shield to block Charlie's fireball attacks.

Katie is virulently homophobic, refusing to shake hands Charlie's hand by proudly proclaiming that she doesn't "touch the gays" and has "standards", which is ironic, considering she would just seconds later poke Charlie's breasts during a condescending speech.

She is incredibly arrogant, borderline sociopathic, and cares only about her image, latest gossip, and the hottest stories, even seeming to get unusually cheerful while reporting on tragedies and fights, such as the massacre the Vees committed on Butcher Town, since they are juiciest stories of them all. While reporting on the Vees' assault on the Hazbin Hotel, she even encouraged everyone to bet on who would be killed first by the three Overlords, eagerly placing her bet on Charlie. Even during Leviathan's attempt to flood the seven rings, Katie was more concerned about how to twist the event into being Charlie's fault rather than keeping the public safe and informed.

## Appearance

Katie Killjoy is a very tall and slim demon who has short blonde hair, pale skin, red fingernails, and red eyes with yellow pupils. Her most distinguishing characteristic is her very long neck that bends and snaps with her movements. In her full demon form, she takes on a more insectoid appearance with an extra pair of eyes and a set of extra arms.

She wears a short, red dress with pronounced shoulder pads, a pearl necklace and pearl earrings, and red heels.

## Powers and Abilities

### Natural Powers

* **Demonic Transformation**: Killjoy is capable of changing into a stronger, even more demonic form at will, in this form, she is capable of spawning multiple eyes and numerous, insect-like appendages on her back.
* **Immortality**: Killjoy, as a sinner, is incapable of dying through conventional means and can only be erased by holy weaponry/power.
	+ **Regeneration**: As a sinner, Killjoy possesses very powerful regeneration, allowing her to quickly recover from horrifying injuries. In the event that her neck snaps in half, she can instantly heal from it by simply putting her head back in place.

### Abilities

* **Social Influencing**: Killjoy is capable of using her platform as the 666 News' head anchor to spread misinformation on a person or place, potentially damaging their reputation or swaying the public opinion on said place.

## Trivia

* One of the series' creators has described her as the "J. Jonah Jameson to Charlie's Spider-Man".
* She has slept with many men to obtain the position she has.
* It is ironic that despite being homophobic, Katie is co-workers with Jeffrey Dahmer and an employee of Vox, who are homosexual and bisexual respectively. However, it's possible she doesn't complain about this out of fear of Vox and, to a lesser extent, Dahmer.
