Katie Forester

is a character in the Yo-kai Watch series. In the main series games, she is the female choice for the protagonist.

Appearance
Katie is the same age as Nathan or Nate. She has black eyes and brown hair tied in a ponytail with a pink ribbon. She wears a white pullover over a collarless shirt with black and white stripes. A pink heart is on the right side of her pullover. She wears blue shorts. She wears dark gray socks and black tennis shoes with white soles and white shoelaces. When she is the player's chosen protagonist, she wears her Yo-kai Watch around her neck, which easily disguises the watch as a necklace with a watch pendant. This is in contrast to the way Nate wears his watch, on his wrist.

Personality
Katie is a kind and playful person. She's very popular and often considered cute with a certain charm. When bewitched by Yo-kai, she usually retains her cheerful demeanor but can come off as unintentionally cruel though she seems to never recall these incidents. She's also smart, but also worries about meeting her mother's standards. She is surprisingly brave and comfortable with heights.

First Season
Katie makes her debut in Episode 1 of Yo Kai Watch, she appears after Nate catches a Stag beetle, but Bear catches a big one, and calls Nate "average".

In Episode 2, she gets possessed by Tattletale who makes her embarrass Nate in front of his friends, and her friends.

In Episode 4 she gets possessed by Hungramps.

In Episode 18, Kyubi has charmed 99 women, and for his next target he spots Katie, and tries to charm her, but Katie calls Kyubi, "Cucumber" instead of Kyubi.

In Episode 67, Whisper has a dream, about being Katie's butler instead of Nate's. Katie possesses the Yo Kai Watch, and Jibanyan is Baddinyan instead. Katie's mom is possessed by Noway, and Katie throws Whisper at Noway until he gets his "special power"

In the anime Katie is actually Nate's crush. She also does not possess the Yo Kai Watch, but she does in Whisper's dream, Episode 67.

Relationships
In the anime, she plays the role of Nate's love interest. Nate is constantly struggling to impress her, but he shows no apparent progress. She is also possessed by Yo-kai very frequently, causing Nate to stand up and face them for her.

Katie is also selected as a target for Kyubi in the anime. In human form, Kyubi tries to impress Katie, but Katie appears to have complete immunity to his charms. Soon, Kyubi gets charmed by her instead.

In the games, her relationships are much the same as Nate's - she shares his circle of friends (notably, Barnaby "Bear" Bernstein and Eddie Archer), and is also friends with Nate himself.

Naturally, as the single girl in a group of mainly boys, it's been suggested by other characters that Katie is romantically involved with her friends. For example, during the "Eddie's Search" chapter of the game (only when Katie is the chosen protagonist), Whisper believes that Eddie and Katie's meeting at the museum was a date, and after Katie denies this, he teasingly reinforces his point by referring to it as a "non-date." Even Eddie's mom suspects romantic inclinations, as is proven if the protagonist speaks with her after the chapter. The mother asks, "It wasn't a date, was it?"

In another chapter of the game, Nate (only when he is the chosen protagonist) is unable to meet with Katie because she has an argument with her friend. Later it is discovered that she was being inspirited by the Yo-kai Tattletell.

Abilities
Katie is very athletic. In the games, the player can choose to be her or Nate (depending on gender). She can use her watch to see, summon, and battle Yo-kai.
