Line 50:
== Catherine is a [[Blank Slate]] whose exact nature [[Schrodinger's Gun|is determined by the decisions of those who interact with her]]. ==
This... ''being'' responds to the desires of its victims by changing its appearance to whatever the victim ''wants'' to see -- at its core, it is neither male or female; both symbols appearing is a subtle hint at this. Upon finding and infecting a host, it puts them through a series of psychological tests via the nightmares in order to determine the victim's strengths, weaknesses and [[Fatal Flaw|Fatal Flaws]]. Failure means death, or [[Fate Worse Than Death|an even worse fate]]...
* One possible explanation is that this is, as speculated above, an artificial Persona -- specifically, one that is searching for a host. This may tie into the plot of [[Persona (

Line 71:
== Katherine has a [[Split Personality|Multiple Personality Disorder]]. ==
More specifically, there are three: her 'normal' persona, '[[Yandere]]' persona, and the 'Catherine' persona. Her 'normal' persona is the usual kind [[Meganekko]] Vincent is engaged with. Her 'Yandere' persona is that [[Nightmare Fuel|freaky screaming-head thingy]] we kept seeing in the Nightmare World in the trailer, born from the mind of insecure woman who desperately wants to marry Vincent as quickly as possible (with the thought that if she terrorizes Vincent enough, the Vincent in the real world will turn to her for a quick healing and ended up marrying her). 'Catherine' persona is, you guess it, the blonde, mysterious, mind-alluring, Catherine. Catherine is the persona born from Katherine with the thought that he'll like her more that way (it has been mentioned that they're some kind of childhood friends. Katherine must have known what type of girl Vincent like). Katherine herself may or may not realise that she has an MPD, so Catherine's existence is either just Katherine sporting a wig/dying her hair and curling it, or an [[Enemy Without]] because of whatever [[Applied Phlebotinum]] they're going to use in this game. And now, for the reason ''why'' Katherine has an MPD is probably because of trauma Vincent has induced to her in the past. And for the reason ''why'' the 'Yandere' persona can cause Nightmare and 'Catherine' keeps clinging to Vincent may be explained because of something akin/similar to Sera in [[Digital Devil Saga]] and {{spoiler|[[Spell My Name
== Vincent's sheep horns indicate that he starts [[Baleful Polymorph|transforming]] into a sheep man. ==
Line 112:
There is nothing about Catherine that has anything to do with any of Atlus' other games. It isn't in the same world as Persona 3, Philemon and Nyarlathotep aren't meddling in human affairs and God isn't trying to kill humanity for being defiant. When you look at the game you'll notice that it's far more personalized about a man's current life rather than going out and meeting people, plus the fact that coming to terms with Vincent's issues appears to be what's most important instead of reaching the truth or stopping Armageddon.
* [[Jossed]] as soon as we found out who the characters are, Vincent makes a cameo in [[P 3 P]].
** Just making a cameo doesn't mean that it has a canon connection to the Persona franchise. If it did then [[Devil May Cry|Dante]] is part of [[
*** Does anyone actually have a problem with this idea? I think that'd be awesome, and c'mon, we're us. Enough meddling with canon facts in both series could make it make sense.
*** Well ''yes'' it would be awesome, but the point of the WMG was to guess that it had nothing to do with any Persona series. Make another WMG suggesting that it does have a connection to Persona if you want.
Line 153:
* Jossed. {{spoiler|Boss confirms the supernatural aspect, and a goddess (Ishtar) is involved, as can be seen after beating the Babel stages.}}
== ''[[Catherine]]'' takes place in the same universe as, or is a not-too-different retelling of, [[Haruki Murakami|Murakami's]] [[The Wind
[[Every Man]] protagonist? Check. Infidelity? Check. Strange cast of characters? Check. Weird dreams? Check. Sex? Check. Weird sense of [[Magical Realism]], or at least a lot of things unexplained and interconnected? Check. I haven't played the game yet, but just the demo playthrough and the opening remind me a lot of a Murakami book, especially ''[[The Wind
