   in regards to her.   katarina is a sucker for a good nickname . she’s always been the one to find excessive flattery in it ; even when there was none . she loves when people call her kat , kitty kat , or any variation of the ‘ cat ’ pet name that you could think of . 

   in regards to others.   though she’d never admit it out loud , she hardly ever considers anyone by their real name when thinking about them , as she assigns nicknames by prominent characteristics to everyone she meets and gets to know on a personal level ( patient only or majority interactions excluded ) . that’s not to say that the nicknames would necessarily be accurate . she is one of those people that will assign the grumpiest person she knows the name ‘ sunshine ’ in her brain but will never utter that out loud in front of them or everyone . the assignment of nicknames helps her remember facts and bits of information associated with those people and those people alone , being able to recall just about anything important about ‘ sunshine ’ should the need arise .
