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 by using a picture of Frankie and his old friends. 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. She points out that she made a portal out of the picture. She tells Frankie to go through it to get to the circus.

Katia doesn't appear again until all the other performers are freed. When they all join hands (one of the clowns uses his feet), Katia appears at her normal size. She suggests that they put on the best show ever.

Katia appears again in the show in the ending cutscene. She makes a picture of the sun and moon over the Earth. Then she makes butterflies appear and rides on a big one. Afterwards, she appears with Frankie and all of his old friends.
