Katrina is a fictional character in the Ultima computer game series. She appeared in 5 games: Ultima IV, Ultima V, Ultima VI, Ultima VII, and Ultima IX.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

A native of Earth, and friend of Lord British, in Britannia Katrina was a shepherd, and the only survivor of the daemon attack that destroyed old Magincia. In Ultima IV she was still living in the ruins of the destroyed city, but gladly joined the future Avatar in his quest for the Codex of Ultimate Wisdom.

Later, Magincia was resettled as New Magincia, and Katrina became one of its first citizens.

As a shepherd, Katrina typically wielded a crook as a weapon and wore a cloak. She had dark brown hair.

She was available as a companion for the Avatar in the subsequent Ultima V, Ultima VI and Ultima VII.

In Ultima IX she was, once again, the only living person on the newly deserted New Magincia, where she helped the Avatar defeat the Guardian. Notably, she was the only Companion active in Britannia who was not corrupted into a Wyrmguard servant by the Guardian, thanks to her virtue of Humility (the other uncorrupted Companions, Dupre and Shamino, were trapped in the Void during the events of the game). When the Avatar arrives at New Magincia, she assigns him to kill an alpha male wolf and burn a nest. After the completion of these missions and the cleansing of the shrine, Katrina apologizes to the Avatar. She explains that her demands were not good examples of the virtue of humility, and thanks the Avatar for restoring humility.
