“Goodbye, Ichabod Crane. I curse the day you came to Sleepy Hollow!”
―Katrina to Ichabod Crane.
Katrina Van Tassel is Ichabod Crane's love interest and the deuteragonist of Sleepy Hollow who plays a big part in the investigation of the killing spree happening in her hometown of Sleepy Hollow.
She is portrayed by Christina Ricci.
Background[]
Katrina Van Tassel is the daughter of Baltus Van Tassel and Elizabeth Van Tassel. Her mother was a Witch just like Katrina Van Tassel. Elizabeth Van Tassel was murdered by a fellow witch named Mary Archer in a revenge plot against Baltus Van Tassel. Baltus Van Tassel later married taking the name Lady Mary Van Tassel (née Archer).
She would work with Ichabod Crane to solve the mystery of the deaths in her town of Sleepy Hollow. Ichabod Crane would also become her love interest. By the end she would find that it is her step-mother who is behind everything. From raising the horseman to her own mother's death.
Personality[]
She likes romance novels, horses, and possesses an inexplicable knowledge of spells (like the protection draw, which she does in the church and under Ichabod's bed). Clever, adventurous and brave, Katrina isn't afraid of the Headless Horseman or of her wicked step-mother (when the Headless Horseman tries to kill her, she doesn't seem to show fear). Kind and compassionate, she cares about the people that she loves (Ichabod, her father, Masbath), often worrying about their safety (for example, when she destroys Ichabod's notes, which suspected Baltus).
Physical Appearance[]
Katrina is an incredibly beautiful young woman of short height and slim figure: her skin is pale, she has large brown eyes, small pink lips, and long wavy blonde hair that reaches her waist which she wears down and has side hairs clipped up. She wears heavy dresses with white cloaks that flatters her figure and is fond of wearing boots and high heels.
