History

Katy and Murdock

Katy appeared in silhouette alongside the other Gym Leaders in Welcome to Naranja Academy!, and was later mentioned as Liko's first challenge at Tera Training.

Katy physically debuted in Put Your Heart Into It! as the owner of Patisserie Soapberry, where Murdock was working for the time being. Katy set a baking contest between Liko and Coral to see which one of them would battle her, which Liko won, allowing Liko to battle her. Although Liko lost the battle, Katy still passed Liko due to her mastering the basics of Terastallizing.

In Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four, Katy appeared at Naranja Academy to act as Liko's partner against Rika in the Elite Four Tag Battle. In the following episode, Katy played the role of support by having her Lokix protect Liko's Floragato from taking damage. When Lokix ended up poisoned, Katy stopped holding back and had Lokix launch a barrage of attacks to both damage and weaken Rika's Pokémon before succumbing to its status ailment. Despite this, Rika's Clodsire eventually defeated Floragato, winning the battle. Afterward, Katy consoled an emotional Liko, who began crying from the frustration of losing despite giving it her all in battle.

In Shine on, Terastallization! Liko vs. Roy!, Katy met up with Liko along with Ann to encourage Liko before her battle against Roy, Katy then watched the match unfold. After the battle, Katy and Grusha met up with Liko to encourage her on her progress as a Trainer.

In Crash! Team Dragon Rampage!, Dot revealed that after the Rising Volt Tacklers disbanded, Murdock went back to working for Katy at the Patisserie Soapberry.

In Reunion in Cortondo, Katy and Murdock met with Liko, Roy, Dot, and their new traveling companion, Ult. Upon learning the children reformed the Rising Volt Tacklers, Murdock grew concerned for their safety. Katy helped relieve Murdock's worries by having a rematch with Liko to show how much she had grown. She revealed her Teddy had Evolved into a Ursaring and used it to battle Pagogo, which eventually ended in Liko's victory. Afterward, as she and Murdock saw the children off, Katy praised them for continuing to grow despite the hardships they faced. She then suggested that Murdock also had potential to grow, proposing that he rejoin Liko and the others when the time was right.

In We Are the Rising Volt Tacklers!, Katy was shown in a flashback, saying goodbye to Murdock as he left to rejoin the Rising Volt Tacklers.

Character

Katy's intimidating demeanor

Katy is soft-spoken and incredibly kind, greeting all those who come in contact with her with tremendous kindness and gentleness. Even when Coral was throwing a tantrum over not being able to eat one of Katy's famous sweets, she remained calm and polite, merely apologing over Coral's situation. At the same time, Katy is not without a temper. When Coral sabotaged her bake-off with Liko over her frustration in not being able to bake a good cake, Katy proceeded to glare at her and urged her to leave in a tone intimidating enough to unnerve even the often fearless Coral. She also believes that both sweets and Bug-type Pokémon have great power despite their small sizes.
