History
Video Games
Yo-kai Watch & Yo-kai Watch 2
Katie appears as the main female playable character in the first Yo-kai Watch game and it's sequel Yo-kai Watch 2 if the player chooses to play as a girl.
Yo-kai Watch Blasters
Katie makes a brief appearance in Yo-kai Watch Blasters: Moon Rabbit Crew's sub mission, "Yo-kai Watch Blasters! If". In the sub mission, Whisper is inexplicably transported to a parallel world where Katie has possession of the Yo-kai Watch instead of Nate. While there, he is dragged into a routine patrol with Katie's Yo-kai Blasters team which consists of Baddinyan, Shadow Venoct, Goldenyan, and presumably her world's Whisper. She is well-liked among her Yo-kai, as the trio repeatedly pledge their loyalty and determination in protecting her, and even Whisper takes a liking to her by the end of the sub mission (though he is transported back to his world shortly afterwards).
Yo-kai Watch 3
Katie does not return as a fully-playable character in Yo-kai Watch 3, with Hailey Anne Thomas taking her role as the game's playable female secondary protagonist. She is briefly seen in Uptown Springdale's re-introduction and can be spotted walking down the street near her house.
In the quest That Other World... Somewhere!, Nate receives a Fancy That! issue along with a mysterious Fancy that! Coin. Upon using the coin in Northbeech BBQ's Dream Wheel, Nate is abducted by a giant Crank-a-kai capsule and is transported to a parallel world. There he discovers that he has become a Yo-kai, named Fuu 2, and that he had been cranked by Katie. In this world, Katie was the one who obtained the Yo-kai Watch, moved to BBQ, and has befriended Buck Hazeltine's sister, Dorothy, instead. While Nate enjoys his time as Katie's Yo-kai, he decides to find a way back to his world. He returns to the Dream Wheel and is confronted by Katie's Whisper, who admits he suspected Nate was from another world and allows him to return to his world quietly.
Despite Nate and Katie's Whisper's emotional goodbye, the latter divulges the truth to his master shortly afterwards. Dorothy approaches Nate the following day and introduces Katie in her Yo-kai form, who in turn reintroduces herself as Mee 2. She hands Nate her Yo-kai medal and informs him that the two can transport in-between worlds anytime they want in their respective Yo-kai forms. Returning to Katie's world makes her a playable character once more, sharing Nate's inventory and Yo-kai, though she is limited to exploring BBQ only and cannot undertake any quests.
Like in Blasters, it is implied that Katie is generally well-liked and popular. In BBQ, several citizens happily greet her and the usually distrustful Buck even tries to impress her. Nate also makes note of Katie's Whisper being comparatively "more useful" to her than his one is to him.

Physical traits
Young
Katie is the same age as 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. On a few occasions she has wore a pink hoodie with a small mint green star on it with black leggings. 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.
Adult
As an adult she wears a pink shirt, and occasionally a white apron. She still keeps the same ponytail hairstyle, just a little longer and she doesn't appear to be wearing her pink hair bow anymore, but instead wears a pink colored ribbon instead.
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. It also seems that Katie is extremely oblivious whenever it comes to romance.
Relationships
Humans
Nate, Bear, and Eddie
In the anime, she plays the role of Nathan's love interest. Nate is constantly struggling to impress her, but he shows no apparent progress. She is also inspirited by Yo-kai very frequently, causing Nate to stand up and face them for her.
During an episode where Nate was inspirited by Suspicioni, he asks Katie what she thinks of him. Katie states that she feels very comfortable around Nate because of his averageness and he's special because of how average he is. This is noticed a lot as she is shown to be calling him "Average " in most episodes as he is trying to impress her.
In the games, her relationships are much the same as Nate's - she shares his circle of friends (notably, Barnaby and Edward), and is also friends with Nate himself.
Naturally, as the single girl in a group of main 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. However, if Katie is chosen as the protagonist, it would be the other way around.
In the Yo-kai Watch Shadowside anime, which takes place 30 years after the original series, Katie is married to Nate and has 2 children, Natsume and Keisuke Amano.
Sarah and other girls
Katie is usually seen talking with a group of other girls in her class, among them Sarah. She seems to be in good terms with her. In the first game, Sarah is the most prominent friend of Katie outside Nate's group.
Natsume Amano
Natsume is Katie's daughter.
Keisuke Amano
Keisuke is Katie's youngest son.
Jason Forester
Jason is Katie's father.
Rebecca Forester
Rebecca is Katie's Mother.
Kenny Forester and Kelly Forester
Kenny and Kelly are Katie's Grandparents.
Yo-kai
Kyubi
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, falling for his own tricks.
In the manga Nyanderful days, he also tries to make Katie fall for him as he and Frostail have made a bet to see who can get a human to fall for them first. He thought it would be easy, but it turns out Katie isn't effected by his charm as he thought she would be. In the end, he's the one who falls for her charm .EP160
In Chapter 10 of Nyanderful Days he asks Katie if she's ever fallen in love before. She says she doesn't know and he admits that he also doesn't know if he's ever fallen in love, but tells her, "You'll fall in love one day. And hopefully...it'll be with me."
Whisper
If chosen as the protagonist in the games, Whisper is Katie's self proclaimed Yo-kai butler.
In the Sukiyaki version of Yo-kai Watch 3, when Nate travels to a parallel world where Katie has the Yo-kai Watch, her version of Whisper is much more reliable and wise compared to his real world version who is the complete opposite of him.
In the manga Nyanderful Days he is also her self proclaimed Yo-kai butler. In chapter 15 of Nyanderful Days, it's revealed in a dream eaten by Baku, that Whisper's dream is to become a splendid butler who turns Katie into a lady who befriends every single Yo-kai in the world.
Jibanyan
In Nyanderful Days, Jibanyan is very attached to Katie. He tries to cling onto her any chance he gets. Jibanyan has also been shown to get jealous of other Yo-kai who get her attention. In chapter 8, when Komasan is sitting in Katie's lap Jibanyan angrily states that Komasan's in "his spot".
In chapter 15, by a dream eaten by Baku, it's shown that Jibanyan's dream is to be able to rest on Katie's lap forever and be adored by her and the members of Next HarMEOWny.
