Man forget Maria, her reaction to the first prince's fiance was strong even for her.

If the OP is any indication, even her previous life was like this:



Move along, nothing to see here. Just two friends having a nice platonic walk on the beach.

See, that I read as her past life having actually found love.

Catarina is just totally oblivious to relationships. Which I guess explains how she ends up cast out of the kingdom even when she isn't involved in the protagonist's romance. Seeing her past life was basically her Ghost Of Christmas Future.

For the form of it, I think they have to honor all the betrothals, which means the best option is to marry Maria to Keith. Actual practices and arrangements need not be congruent with the formal marriages, of course, as they're all nobles.

Something I was noticing while watching the OP that makes me like Katarina even more:

I know it's not a big detail, but the fact that almost everyone gets the salute/respectful bow/curtsy right and she just goes for the showman route is charming AF. :3:

Should I be surprised that Catarina is shipped more with her brother than any of the other guys, or just disappointed?

I've never gotten a harder laugh from a popularity poll before. It's even structured like a joke if you scroll up the list: over half of it is taken up by the same mean-looking girl, and then it looks all clear before she comes back and spooks you again at the very top.

Maria: Up here at #1.

Mary: Dang.

Catarina: Oh what a nice meeting of all my friends. I wonder what it's about... I'd go up to them but my villainous face would just scare them away.

I mean, of her male love interests, he does have the most developed relationship with her so far. That axe scene probably made an impression.

I can totally see why Maria is miles ahead, though. 'Reincarnated villainess tries to avert her doom so hard that she accidentally ends up shacking up with the heroine' just seems like the logical (and delightfully absurd) conclusion for this show.

I'm wondering what impressed Keith the most. Katarina "Here's Johnny!"'ing the door or facing the terrible wrath of their mom?

Keith is also the cutest one.

(This chart seems a little suspect. I mean, who is sufficiently invested in Katarina/Nicole for it to even be on there? He hasn't really done anything yet.)

It's weird because watching the show I never got the impression he liked Katarina that way. At most, Keith just seems like he loves hanging out with Katarina and wants to protect his doofus of a sister from the likes of Gerald.

After Maria, I like Mary the most out of the others so I'm glad she's the second most popular Bakarina ship. :3:

One thing I wonder is whether Nicol not doing much of note is because Katarina's past self never played his route so she doesn't stumble into events involving him. IIRC, doesn't she say that she never played Nicol's route and only got the bare-bones idea about what happened because her friend spoiled her about it?

As for Nicole, I can't see why either, though the comments I've read seem to be all for him as well. Guess the tall, silent and handsome type really does it for some people.

If nothing else, Nichol is the only boy Catarina has actually shown an attraction to.

Keith is (a) the cutest and (b) a siscon. Not related by blood either, so I'm sure shippers think he's fair game.

Next week Catarina takes the other three spots with Cat x the student council president, Cat x her maid, and Cat x her farm.

My vicarious ship is Gerald because black hearted sadistic princes are hot.

But my favourite ship for Katarina is Mary because you need her pure moxie and determination to get through Katarina's depleted-uranium skull.

(I'll admit I was never much a fan of Katarina/Maria)

Mary approaches Catarina with all the subtlety of a berserk rhinoceros, but Catarina has all the social awareness of one, so it's kind of an unstoppable force/immovable object situation.

With Catarina, it's at the point where you actually have to say "Hey, Catarina, I am interested in you romantically. Would you like to make out right now?", and even that would be a coin flip.
