Catherine
Heroine; fought as Saint Catherine — the rarest fight in the game
The saint at the bottom of the rarity table. Saint Catherine is the single rarest boss kill in BLACK SOULS (11.4%), her ending is completed by 22.9% of players, and her legend returns in BLACK SOULS II as the Folk Tale [Saint of Alexandria].
The gap between Catherine's ending (22.9%) and her fight (11.4%) is the widest of any heroine — twice as many players finish her story as defeat her. Her route clearly offers paths that don't require winning the game's hardest fight, but the fight exists for those who insist.
Her namesake is Catherine of Alexandria — the wheel-broken martyr-saint. The series holds its historical women (Catherine, Jeanne, Elisabeth) as a trilogy of what sainthood and infamy cost; Catherine is its rarest and, by the numbers, its most demanding member.
In BLACK SOULS II she persists as the Folk Tale [Saint of Alexandria], collected via the achievement 'Catherine's Smile' (39.8%) — a far gentler meeting than the first game offers.
Route advice: hers is a final-cycles story. Pair it with your strongest build, and read the endings guide first — her route decisions interact with the lettered endings available in the same cycle.
