"That's the things with you guardians. You're always dying for that damn box!"

—Katya to Nina.^[src]

Katya was a powerful Upper-Level demon. Having previously served several Demonic Dark Lords of the Underworld, she went rogue in order to make a name for herself, having watched lesser demons be rewarded for their deeds.

In order to impress Zankou, Katya tried to unleash the horrors of Pandora's Box on the world. She killed one guardian, Nina, and impersonated her in order to find her successor. Upon finding the next guardian, Hope, she tried to trick her into opening the box. She was eventually vanquished by Paige Matthews, allowing Hope to once again close the box as Pandora had done centuries before.

History Edit

Early Life Edit

Katya once served under the Demonic Dark Lords of the Underworld, but watched as weaker demons surpassed her. Determined to make a name for herself, she went rogue and planned to bring herself to glory.

Encounter with NinaEdit

Katya tracked and hunted down Nina, a guardian of Pandora's Box. She eventually faced the Guardian in an alley, where the two women fought over the box. However, when Katya fatally stabbed Nina with her weapon, the box sensed danger and faded away to the next Guardian.

Masquerading as NinaEdit

Katya then shapeshifted into Nina, and shredded to the Manor, where she asked the Charmed Ones for help in tracking down toe box. Kayta explained that they needed to find the next Guardian, as she was not trained and was unaware of the dangers of the box. Piper eventually found the next Guardian while scrying with a necklace given to her by Katya.

Manipulating Hope Edit

Katya and Piper eventually find the next Guardian, a college girl named Hope. Kayta then picked up the box and returned to her true form before escaping with the box. Katya later called Hope on her phone pretending to be her friend Darcy to lure her into a trap. When Hope appeared, Katya took her to her lair.

Opening the BoxEdit

Katya and her minion tried opening the box, but failed at every attempt. Katya then revealed she kidnapped Hope to open the box and also revealed that she kidnapped her friend Darcy as leverage. Hope then reluctantly opened the box to save her friend, releasing Sorrow onto the world. Katya then tried to kill Hope, but the young Guardian managed to defend herself until Piper and Phoebe arrived. Katya then took the box and escaped.

Shapeshifting into DarcyEdit

Katya reappeared before Darcy and assumed her form, before being 'rescued' by Hope and the sisters. Katya then tried to get Hope to leave with her, but unknowingly revealed her cover in the process. When Hope later left with Kayta, is was revealed to be a glamoured Paige instead, who proceeded to vanquish her with a potion. Paige then rescued the real Darcy and Hope was able to call back the Sorrow to the Box.

AppendicesEdit

The following entry on Katya was found in a book from Magic School.

Note: Only the first paragraph of this entry is about the Charmed character. The remaining paragraph were two texts, one talking about Lilith, a jewish character in mythology and about the Goddess Nebethet. Both their names were replaced by Katya in the text.

Katya

Armed with her deadly sai, this

shapeshifter demon known as Katya has

a long history of evil ambitions. Serving

for centuries under various Dark

Demonic Lords of the Underworld, she

watched what she considered lesser evils

advance past her in the line of succession

to upper-level demondom. Determined

and crafty, Katya consolidated her

abilities until she was ready to initiate

her own plans and become a powerful

and unpredictable rogue player in the

Underworld.

Concerning this point there is a received

tradition from the ancient sages who

made use of the secret knowledge of the

Lesser Palaces, which is the manipulation

of demons and a ladder by which one

ascends to the prophetic levels. In this

tradition it is made clear that Samael and

Katya were born as one, similar to the

form of Adam and Eve, who were also,

born as one, reflecting what is above

This is the account of Katya which was

received by the Sages in the Secret

Knowledge of the Palaces. The Matron

Katya is the mate of Samael. Both of them

were born at the same hour in the image

of Adam and Eve, intertwined in each other.

Asmodeus the great king of the demons has

as a mate the Lesser (younger) Katya, daughter

of the king whose name is Qafsefoni.

She is also known as the Queen of

Darkness and Mistress of the Night. Her

traditional image is of a voluptuous

woman with the head of a skull,

although recent visitors to the shrine

report that the original statue has been

replaced by one appearing more human.

Katya is duel in nature, worshiped as

the bringer of both darkness and light, in

her dark aspect she brings death and

must be placated with sacrifices. In her

beneficial aspect, she is worshiped as a

bringer of wealth, materialized by the

ivory and gold which the Puntish people

have been blessed with in abundant

quantities.

When moonlight falls on the goddess'

idol, it is said to come alive and deliver

spoken omens. The goddess can manifest

by possessing a mortal woman that

enters her temple, surrounding her with

a purple glow. According to the holy

laws of Punt, the temple of Katya must

remain uninhabited by mortal men and

women. Therefore, the priests of Katya

only visit the temple to offer sacrifice and

receive omens from the goddess, often

accompanied by the king of Punt

The darkness-shrouded chambers of the

temple are supposedly guarded by creatures.
