Katrin the Curious was a character seen in the game School of Dragons, but was replaced with Heather in September of 2013. However, the producers reused Katrin's body model for Heather, resulting in her looking much different in the game than she does in the TV series.
Official Description[]
| “ | Were it not for the circumstances, the tale of Katrin the Curious could have become a tale of any other runt on the outskirts of society. She grew up in a time when Vikings valued strength and obedience over everything else. Smarts and independent thought were useless to the village, and Katrin had plenty of both. She was never interested in battle or becoming another axe swinging Viking warrior. If you asked her, she would rather spend her time studying insects than fighting. More importantly, she has never been one to think ‘enemy’ at the sight of dragons. Instead, a thousand questions would race through her mind. How does the Gronckle fly with tiny wings? How do dragons breathe fire? Do dragons feel the heat of their own flame? How? Why? Katrin won’t rest until she finds the answer to these questions, and many more. She is eager to throw herself into every problem placed before her, no matter how difficult it may be. Whenever she finds something she cannot explain, she takes out her tools and conducts experiments. In her lab, she often locks in on the problem and tunes out the rest of the world to solve the case. Her opportunity to shine came shortly after the defeat of the Red Death. The Vikings of Berk were eager to mend their relationship with the dragons. After all, they needed to make a lot of changes to the village if they were going to keep dragons there. Katrin helped with the efforts while Hiccup recovered from the battle. Using the scientific method, she learned what foods the dragons preferred, where they liked to sleep, and how to keep the livestock away from their new dragon neighbors. Because of these efforts, she was the obvious choice for the position of Alchemist when the School of Dragons started. Katrin doesn’t feel like the traditional teacher to her students. Perhaps it is her age; she is the youngest teacher at the School. Perhaps it is her overwhelming enthusiasm; she can talk a mile a minute when the conversation swings to her favorite topics. Perhaps it is her eagerness to play with dangerous things like fire. Several times during the day, people near the lab can hear loud explosions followed shortly afterwards by Katrin’s delighted laugh. Whatever the reason, students love to attend her science class because they know they’re always in for an exciting time! |
