In the Game
Katia is a magician and an old friend of Frankie from his days as a circus performer. She used to be an assistant to Mel.

In the opening cutscene, Katia appears before Frankie in his house to inform him of Mel's wrongdoing. After Mel kept playing tricks on the other performers, he was fired from the circus, and Katia took his place as the head magician. Jealous of Katia and angered by his removal, Mel shrunk Katia down to the size of a doll, and trapped all of the other performers.

Katia doesn't appear again until all the other performers are freed. When they all join hands (the clowns use their feet), Katia appears at her normal size.
