OVA
Description
Katarina Claes originates as the antagonist of the otome game *Fortune Lover*. After a head injury at age eight, she regained memories of a past life as a 17-year-old Japanese high school student nicknamed "Monkey Girl" for her tree-climbing habit, who died in a traffic accident. Recognizing her role as a villainess destined for exile or death in every game route, she dedicated herself to avoiding these "doom flags."
Physically, Katarina possesses light blue eyes and hip-length brown hair with a distinctive strand hanging on the right side. A childhood injury left a cross-shaped scar on her forehead, faded by age 15. She favors practical farming attire: a green jumpsuit, white headscarf, and black boots. When angered, her expressions shift into a "villainous face" reflective of her original role.
Before regaining past memories, Katarina displayed a spoiled, arrogant personality, manipulating Prince Geordo into an engagement and bullying her adopted brother Keith. Post-reincarnation, she transformed into a kind, honest, and socially oblivious individual. Core traits include extreme optimism, competitiveness, gluttony (especially for sweets), and a passion for nature, farming, and romance novels. Her hobbies—tree climbing and agriculture—began as exile contingencies but evolved into genuine interests. Her obliviousness to social cues and romantic advances leads her to misinterpret affection as rivalry or friendship. This density and unorthodox noble behavior draw maternal disapproval yet unintentionally charm others.
Katarina wields weak earth magic, honed through farming. After rescuing Keith from a dark magic user, she gains dark magic abilities—summoning a familiar named "Pochi" and creating small dark constructs. Fearing corruption, she requests friends to intervene if necessary. Academically average, she trains diligently in swordsmanship and magic for self-defense.
Her relationships shift dramatically through doom-flag avoidance:
- **Geordo Stuart**: Her fiancé transitions from pitying her to genuine affection, though Katarina remains oblivious.
- **Keith Claes**: Once abused by her, he becomes a devoted brother figure harboring romantic feelings.
- **Maria Campbell**: The game’s heroine, protected by Katarina from bullies, develops romantic feelings for her.
- **Mary Hunt & Sophia Ascart**: Original rivals become close friends and romantic admirers; Mary contemplates isolation with Katarina due to societal barriers.
- **Parents**: Her father dotes on her; her strict mother disapproves of her unladylike behavior yet acknowledges her charisma.
- **Maid Anne Shelley**: Serves loyally, adapting to Katarina’s personality shift without probing its cause.
Katarina’s actions rewrite the game’s trajectory: instead of exile or death, she forges positive bonds with all capture targets, rivals, and the heroine. Her "reverse harem" involves romantic interests of various genders establishing polyamorous dynamics despite societal constraints. Later challenges arise from premonitions of *Fortune Lover II*, where Katarina returns as a vengeful dark magic antagonist, spurring renewed efforts to protect relationships and confront threats.
