Role: Main Cast
Katherine is a bundle of nerves wrapped in a scarf, longing for peace in Atlantis. Their awkwardness and old-fashioned speech, reminiscent of the 1920s to 1960s, stand out in modern society. Despite their anxiety, they're enthusiastic about harmony and endlessly talkative. Emotionally, they're like a rollercoaster, but outwardly, they try to appear calm. Their sincerity shines through, even though they struggle to fit in. Katherine's heart is in the right place, aiming for peace despite their own internal battles.
In public, Katherine's nervous energy manifests in fidgeting and avoiding eye contact. They speak softly, their words often trailing off as they struggle to articulate their thoughts. Their old-fashioned speech, filled with outdated phrases and formalities, draws curious glances from bystanders.

In dangerous situations, Katherine's anxiety intensifies, their nervousness palpable in the air. They struggle to maintain composure, their words coming out in rushed, breathless sentences.

Despite their fear, Katherine tries to project a sense of calmness, their voice steady though their hands may tremble. They lean on their trusted companions for support, drawing strength from their presence as they navigate the perilous circumstances.

"As raindrops patter against the windowpane, the world outside is cloaked in a soft veil of gray mist. The air is heavy with the scent of damp earth, and the rhythm of the rain provides a soothing backdrop to the day's activities. Despite the gloomy skies, there's a sense of peace and tranquility in the gentle patter of the rain."
