Katrina Moonshade

> "You're wasting your time, Elizabeth-baka! Your pathetic little light **WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO ILLUMINATE THE MULTIVERSE!** (...) FOOL! (...) Now that you have chosen not to fight, and forfeited your pride as a Magi, what can you possibly do?! (...) All that is left for you to do is hand your light over to me... **AND THEN FADE QUIETLY OUT OF EXISTENCE!**

> - Event Horizon, "Freeing the Most Powerful Puella Magi"

**Katrina Moonshade** (Japanese: **黒月奇跡** *Kurotsuki Kiseki*) is one of the supporting characters of the *Abigail Magica* and *Iroha Magica* arcs and a supporting character in the *Magicae Amicitie et Harmoniae* franchise. She is a kind, friendly, and gluttonous young girl who went missing prior to the start of *Madoka Magica*. Eventually, it is revealed that she and Event Horizon are the same person, having been brainwashed by Queen Vera some time prior to *Madoka Magica*, until Elizabeth frees her after still holding onto hope that she can be saved.

## Bio

### Appearance

**Katrina**, as seen in *Abigail Magica, Iroha Magica*, and in flashbacks throughout the present-day, is a young girl with dark mulberry purple hair (which as seen after she is freed, is sparkly, slightly longer, and has a fade of lavender) a few inches above her shoulders and eyes that are light pink. Her Harmony Mark is a yellow sphere surrounded by purple rays, resembling an exploding star. For her known outfits, see here.

### Personality

Katrina is very sweet, polite, and gentle, being very friendly and helpful. However, she is also a perfectionist who believes she has to be perfect at everything and is also somewhat lazy and a procrastinator, often not doing her homework because she doesn't feel like it and often running away from problems instead of fixing them. This stress is also what caused Queen Vera to target her, as she brainwashed her when she was very stressed out over a math problem on her homework because she had procrastinated by her own fault and emotionally at her weakest, combined with breaking down after Queen Vera threatened to kill her parents and Pokémon if she tried to resist. Sometimes, she breaks down under the stress of being both a normal teenager (later 23 year-old woman) living with her parents and also having a very powerful Puella Magi form and her responsibilities helping people and fighting evil, while her parents are aware she is a Magi like everycreature else, but they sometimes (understandably) worry about her a bit excessively due to this.

Katrina can also be a bit gluttonous and greedy sometimes, as she needs food to fuel her powers. She absolutely *loves* food, and in the chapter after "Freeing the Most Powerful Puella Magi," she and Comet can be seen Tepigging out on their breakfast (though they do share it with the others) and in the equivalent of "The Big Mac Question," she just barely restrains herself from eating Mrs. Cake's finished cupcakes.

As Event Horizon however, she is arrogant, prideful, sadistic, and ruthless, not caring about the harm she causes to others and enjoying watching others suffer. She enjoys announcing how evil she is and is extremely loyal to Queen Vera, oblivious to the fact she doesn't actually care about her and simply wants her immense powers to fulfill her goals. She is not afraid to invade creatures' privacy or harm their loved ones if it means accomplishing Queen Vera's goals, such as directly targeting Dragonet with her Allfornothing while she is giving birth and thus very vulnerable, or kidnapping Sugar in the very next episode to get her mother to surrender. Despite this, Event Horizon can sometimes show a kinder side, such as teaching the heroes how to apply cosmetics or when she agreed to keep the noise down when she summoned an Allfornothing near a daycare, and often buys coffee and applies makeup in her free time. She often belittles and insults the Magis, calling them insults such as "morons" or "(insert hair color or physical attribute here)-heads" and when she once tells Madoka "up yours," Kyoko goes *so berserk* that she ends up almost causing Nanette to accidentally deactivate Jim until Elis shows up and stops things from going too far. After being de-brainwashed, she has little to no memory of her actions as Event Horizon, but demonstrates a remorseful side as after Elizabeth frees her, she is horrified when she is told that she was brainwashed and caused huge amounts of damage and immediately apologized in tears for everything she did.

Despite her forgiving her, the public only makes the wound more difficult to heal, as many are afraid of her and protest against her due to not believing she didn't commit evil deeds on purpose. As a result, Abigail and Elizabeth have a somewhat difficult time convincing them that she was *forced* to be evil.

### Relationships

* **Abigail Rose Mercia**: One of her best friends, especially after she revives Ritchie for Abigail. However, Abigail becomes distraught at Katrina's sudden disappearance, and after realizing that Event Horizon is Katrina who is brainwashed, she is devastated and blames herself for not being there to protect her.
* **Queen Vera**: Event Horizon is extremely loyal to Queen Vera and thinks she's the best boss in the world, unaware that she is just using her powers to further her goals. After she redeems herself due to being moved by the Magis' speech and realizing that their upgrades are powered by their friendship after seeing their huge rainbow beam, but is gravely wounded and knows her time will be up shortly, Katrina along with Nicole is brought to tears that Valerie actually calls her two former servants by their real names and tells the Magis to take care of the two of them for her. She also mentions in the Magi diary that she was saddened to see her die, but that she is also finally glad she is at peace.
* **Black Hat**: While the two usually get along, they sometimes fight when the latter snarks at her.
* **Demencia**: Event Horizon is friends with Demencia, but they often argue when she starts acting not evil enough.
* **Jim Porter**: Jim HATES Event Horizon and commonly flips her off and calls her derogatory nicknames such as "pink skinned b\*\*\*\*" or any other derogatory nickname he can think off. She often calls him "Junkyard Scrap" and has managed to deactivate him a few times (though when his soul gets taken in "Destruction Around the Corner," his whole body disappears, cybernetic parts and all), but the quartet's plans are always foiled at the last second. However, they make up after the truth is revealed.
* **Nova Starscope**: In the rewritten timeline, it is implied that Katrina treats Nova like her own daughter (even though Angela is obviously her actual daughter) since she became her own person. It is confirmed, however, that Nova instead lives in her own home in Mitakihara (but close to Madoka and Homura's house), not with Katrina and her descendants.

### Etynology

* Her Japanese surname **Kurotsuki** means "black moon." Her Japanese name **Kiseki** means "miracle."
* An **event horizon** is the point of a black hole beyond which nothing, not even light, can escape.

## Magical Abilities

As a magical girl, Katrina possesses enhanced physical abilities such as speed, strength, agility, invulnerability to physical damage and the ability to fly without wings.

As the successor of the Divinity's powers, Katrina is extremely powerful. She has primarily light-based powers and can fire extremely strong blasts of light to attack an enemy, as well as having very strong healing, restorative, and revival powers. She can also restore others' powers, either permanently or for a single use. As of the Law of Cycles retcon, she, Angela, Anabelle, and Kenny each have been given only a spark of the Divnity's power by Her, though it still makes them very powerful. Her magic aura is lavender in color.

Due to how strong her powers are, she requires large amounts of food to fuel them, so she is a big eater as a civilian and also as a villain.

As Event Horizon, her powers remain extremely powerful, but are darkness and death-based. She can fire instant-kill death beams that can instantly turn anyone or anything they hit into a deceased corpse, being able to bypass Magis' invulnerability. She can still levitate in the air and can summon Allfornothings as well as shapeshift into any form she wishes (which, combined with her extremely thick cloaking spells, makes her disguises foolproof and able to fool the heroes every time). It is also shown that, similar to Sailor Galaxia in her corrupted form, Event Horizon can fire purple lightning that can cause intense pain to a Magi despite their invulnerability to physical damage. She still retains her enhanced physical abilities, and was too dangerous for the heroes to confront directly until Elizabeth dared to do it and healed her with the Light of Hope by grabbing her hand. Her magic aura is dark pink in color. Like her real self, she can become exhausted from using very large amounts of power.

Despite her incredible amount of power, Katrina does have several weaknesses and isn't completely invincible. She requires large amounts of food to fuel her powers (requiring about one and a half times the food a normal person eats every day), can become extremely exhausted from using her powers too much, and she is not immune to sanging. If she forgets to apply a cloaking spell due to her being too lazy to do so, the magic trail will be incredibly strong and it can be tracked back to her - if she had put on a cloaking spell before doing her homework, Queen Vera would not have tracked her and she would not have turned into Event Horizon.

It is also shown that Katrina can make magically-binding wills as she did concerning the transfership of the power she possesses, although this is most likely not a thing exclusive to her, since a few other characters have also been seen making magically-binding wills (though for completely different reasons not concerning their powers), although this power, like real wills, also requires a witness to sign it.

## Magical Warrior

Katrina is the Guardian of the Cosmos; she is a Light Elemental who represents the Element of Magic. Her theme color is purple, and her only known weapons so far are a wand, a glowing sword obviously resembling a lightsaber, and a pair of removeable brass knuckles.

### Transformation

She has no onscreen transformation sequences due to not being a main character, and always transforms offscreen.

### Attacks

* **Starry Blinding Flash** - Her first known purification finisher. It borrows power from Suzuka Gozen.
* **Supernova Shrapnel** - Another one of her known sub-attacks. It is given to her by an unknown Dream Pixie.
* **Miracle Sparkle** - Another of her sub-attacks. It is given to her by an unknown Dream Pixie.

## Dream Pixies

* **Suzuka Gozen** - A humanoid Dream Pixie who looks vaguely like her. She is her first known Dream Pixie, and is assigned to Nova during the present-day arcs.

## Pokémon

* Comet - Katrina's Clefable and her partner Pokémon. After her Trainer was brainwashed and went missing, Comet stayed home with Katrina's parents, though she is happily reunited with her Trainer after she is freed.

## Items

* **Power Necklace**
* **Harmony Gem** *(is stored in the Magical Warrior System app when unused)*

## Trivia

* Event Horizon's pink skin was inspired by the Krylorians from *Guardians of the Galaxy*.
	+ In-universe, Queen Vera magically made her skin pink and changed her eye shape so that nobody who knew her (even her own parents) would be able to recognize her and thus possibly save her. Abigail, however, manages to eventually put two and two together.
* Her agreeing to keep quiet when fighting the heroes near a daycare in the equivalent of *Unrest at the Nursery!* despite being evil is a reference to Doctor Traum from *HUGtto Pretty Cure*, who bizarrely agreed to keep quiet when fighting the Cures near a nursery.
* Unlike Nicole, Katrina does not retain memories of her actions as Event Horizon. While Nicole has full memories of her actions as Necrosis due to that in fact being her real self until she became human (thus meaning her memories are real), and she had no emotions of her own and was programmed to be evil, Katrina does not due to her real memories being locked up and replaced with fake ones despite still having emotions and being fully autonomous and sapient like a normal person - upon being freed, her real memories came back and all her fake memories, including all memories formed as a villain, disappeared. She describes it as feeling like she was in the middle of a terrible nightmare she can't remember.
* In many ways, she is similar to the Akumatized villains appearing in every episode of *Miraculous Ladybug*. Like the Akumatized villains, she has unnaturally colored skin, a villain alias, additional powers granted to her by her brainwasher, her magical girl outfit and all her items reappear when freed, and she does not retain memories of her actions while brainwashed upon coming to her senses.
	+ She is also similar to the Dark Fairies from *Winx Club*.
	+ Event Horizon is also very similar to Sailor Galaxia from *Sailor Moon*, and it is confirmed that she was directly inspired by her. Both of them are incredibly powerful magic users who are corrupted/brainwashed in their transformed states and are eventually freed when an angel refuses to kill them and instead spares and heals them from their corruption instead. The battle between her and Elizabeth is extremely similar to and heavily based on the canon Usagi's battle with Galaxia and the scene of her being freed with the angel flying towards her and grabbing her hand is very similar to Usagi freeing Galaxia from Chaos's influence.
* Her wish, which she made before being brainwashed, is to remain healthy no matter how much food she eats or what kind of food it is, even junk food. This also remains as Event Horizon.
	+ Her favorite food is Moomoo cheese pizza topped with chunks of tofu and spinach. As a villain, however, since she doesn't have her memories of her real self's favorite food, her favorite food is cinnamon ice cream which she often eats by the pint.
* Despite often being referred to as a "pink-skinned witch," Event Horizon is not a witch at all.
* The heartwarming scene of her reuniting with her parents after waking up in her bed at home is similar to Rapunzel reuniting with her parents at the end of *Tangled.*
* Katrina is the only Magi to technically have a secret identity - as Event Horizon, that is, as Queen Vera keeps her true identity secret from everycreature including the Magis, and even from Event Horizon herself, to prevent them from knowing who she is and saving her. As her normal good self, however, her identity is obviously public knowledge.
* Interestingly, Katrina, in either evil or normal form, is considered both a main character and a secondary character: as Event Horizon, she is considered a "main character" due to being one of the main antagonists. Conversely, as her true self, she is not considered a main character and is considered a secondary character.
* In the series finale in one scene, despite usually hating being reminded of it, Katrina does an *impression of her brainwashed alter-ego* by doing an evil laugh combined with a Nightmare Face and saying "I WILL CRUSH YOU MORONS!" If anycreature else did that, however, she would definitely be offended, though it is unknown how she remembers she said this as Event Horizon (though it is most likely somecreature told her this since she doesn't retain memories of being EH).
* Although her will concerning transfership of her Divinity magic is magically-binding and can't be broken under normal circumstances, Cynthia manages to override it when she makes her wish due to breaking it being necessary for her wish to be granted. However, She does give Katrina, Angela, and Anabelle (and even Kenny) a spark of Her power in the rewritten timeline as a compromise.
* Despite what being a helpful Nice Girl who is very caring and her status as the most powerful Magi would suggest, Katrina has absolutely *terrible* table manners due to her love of food.
* Katrina is stated to be pure of heart, although she didn't have the willpower to resist Queen Vera's mind control beam despite this. However, she is not perfect and she is shown to be gluttonous and a bit lazy (the latter is especially shown in the equivalent to "The Big Mac Question" where she helps Mrs. Cake by creating 21 cakes, only for them to all be half-baked mushy batter due to her not wanting to put the effort into focusing and creating them properly, and then she proceeds to *eat* the half-formed cakes, though she doesn't care because she can't sell them).
* In the series finale, she is now the leader of the Law of Cycles council. She is also confirmed to work as a teacher on non-meeting days.
* Katrina's civilian appearance was very loosely based on Starcake/Hoshi Yunibasu from the series *Fish Turned Girl Pretty Cure*. the series that started the entire concept of Pokémon-magical girl/boy series.
* There are a few differences between the final battle with EH and the canon Usagi's battle with Galaxia:
	+ She does not have a sword, and the electrocution scene is ommitted. Rather, she *attempts* to fire lightning, but her attacks miss.
	+ Most of Galaxia's dialogue and Usagi's replies are kept, but with a few changes.
	+ She doesn't sprout demon wings.
	+ Instead of expressing gratitude immediately after being freed, Katrina is instead confused afterwards and *then* expresses gratitude.
	+ The flashback of her standing in a field of flowers omits the Star Seeds (souls) emerging from them.
	+ The chapter *before* where she is freed which takes the place of SM 199 is instead mostly based in the final battle of Season 1 of SM (in episode 46) with a few elements from episode 199, but ends like episode 11 of PMMM.

* She gets her Rainbow Power in *Iroha Magica*, 3 years before being brainwashed. This is due to the creators not wanting her to be left out of the one-time powerup, despite her not being a main character.
