Unsure of where she comes from or how she got her fantastic ability to control gravity, Kat embarks on a quest to save the people of Hekseville from the invading Nevi. Accompanied by her feline companion, Dusty, she aids those in need while searching for answers to her mysterious origins, all the while gaining confidence in her powers.

THE LEGACY OF KAT & DUSTY
 * Gravity Rush
 * Gravity Rush Remastered
 * Gravity Rush 2

Transcript
Kat: "Gade, I feel I am gaining more and more control of these powers."

Gade: "Maybe it's just the illusion of control? Or of power... And if we lose one, we gain more of the other."

Kat: "More? More Power? Imagine how easily I could defeat the Nevi, protect Hekseville..."

Gade: "Mmm. Many things can be done with power. It can be dangerous. Maybe that depends on who is looking for it?"

Kat: "I don't care. If they're truly dangerous, someone has to stop them! Can you take me to this place?"

Gade: "I can only show you how to get there. After that, everything depends on you."

Rival
Name: Emmett Graves

Reason: Kat mistakes Emmett as a Nevi because of his blue eyes and right arm, and attacks him, but misses and lands terribly. Kat then apologizes and says she thought he was a monster. Emmett replies that a monster is something that can't control their powers, and says Kat is an example of that, because of her landing. This leads to her saying she's experienced enough to defend her people, and he says that's just luck, and it will run out. This leads them to their fight.

Transcript
''Kat: Who is that? Do you see that... stuff... leaking from his eyes? He must be a Nevi!''

(Kat attempts to attack Emmett, but missed)

Emmett: Mind telling me what the hell that was all about?

''Kat: I thought you were a- a monster! Your eyes... and hand...''

''Emmett: Monsters are just people who can't control the power they got... like you, for example.''

''Kat: Me? A monster?''

''Emmett: Didn't exactly stick that landing, did you? I bet you're not even sure how you pulled that stunt off.''

''Kat: N- no. I'm not. But I know enough to take care of myself, and anyone who threatens innocent people!''

''Emmett: That's just luck, little girl. Sooner or later, that luck's gonna run out.''

Kat: It's not going to be today!

Transcript
Gade: "Was I wrong to worry?"

Kat: "I'm not sure about that. You were right about it being dangerous. The people who were there - some of them just wanted the power, or what it could get for them. Others just seemed to want to hurt people...

Gade: "And now this power belongs to you?"

Kat: "I haven't changed, Gade. I'm the same girl I was before I left. Well... maybe I've changed a little. But my heart hasn't. If anything, I'm just going to be that much better at protecting everyone!"

 * Hey, Dusty!: Kat crouches down to stroke under Dusty's chin.
 * Strike a Pose!: Kat performs two twirls while using her Gravitational abilities. Dusty orbits her.

Quotes

 * Kat speaks in a language composed of French and Latin, as such it is impossible to understand exactly what she is saying at any given point. She does however change her tone and pitch accordingly, making it seem believable when reacting to being K.O'd or K.O-ing an opponent.
 * She does occasionally mention the Nevi after respawning.

Trivia

 * Kat and Emmett are the first DLC characters, released on February 12th, 2013 as part of the Overtime! DLC Pack, which was free to download for the first two weeks of its launch.
 * Kat and Emmett are the only DLC characters that were announced before PlayStation All-Stars was released.
 * Kat is the only female DLC character.
 * Kat is the third character to speak a language other than English, the other two being Heihachi Mishima and Toro Inoue.
 * She is also the second character to have a Japanese voice actor/actress, although she does not speak the language. Instead, she speaks in a fictional language that blends together elements of French, Latin and Japanese.
 * This makes Kat one of six characters that don't have normal speech patterns. The others are Toro (who can only use cat-like meows, as mentioned above), Sackboy (who cannot speak at all), Sir Daniel Fortesque (who sounds muffled due to his lack of a lower jaw), Big Daddy (who only makes monsterous noises) and Heihachi (who speaks in Japanese).
 * Kat is the fourth character who can perform a slide attack with various follow-ups. The first three being Cole MacGrath, Evil Cole MacGrath and Nathan Drake.
 * Kat is the third female character revealed for the game. The first two being Fat Princess and Nariko.
 * Kat's arcade opening and ending are rendered in an animated/comic style, similar to the cutscenes in Gravity Rush.
 * Kat is the only playable character who has originated from a handheld instead of a console (excluding cameos).
 * In her trailer, her name is written as "Kat & Dusty", although the announcer only says "Kat".
 * Similarly, in spite on how "Kat & Dusty" is their full name, only Kat is written on the character select screen.
 * Kat and Dusty are the fourth characters to be a duo, the first three being Big Daddy and Little Sister, Jak and Daxter and Ratchet & Clank.
 * Unlike Daxter and Clank, however, Dusty will run around the stage and teleport near Kat, instead of riding on her shoulder (like Daxter) or back (like Clank). It should also be noted that Dusty is the first to not be able to talk.
 * Kat is one of the six characters who can glide around the stage, with the others being Light Jak, Beast Cole, Zeus, Sly Cooper and Isaac Clarke.
 * Kat is the second character to be rendered in cel-shaded animation, the first being Sly Cooper.
 * Her main menu background is an orange-red with black and white particles flickering behind her.
 * The name given to her Military outfit, unlockable at Rank 10, is 'Sea Cat'. This is a reference to a character from Gravity Rush codenamed 'Sea Wasp', a.k.a. Yunica. Yunica sports a similar outfit and works for the Military during the events of Gravity Rush. Kat doned the codename, "Sea Cat", during the DLC missions.
 * Kat's costume, "The Dark Cat", is actually her spy outfit from Gravity Rush. The name The Dark Cat may be a parody of The Dark Knight, due to the costume's similarity to the Batman character, Catwoman.
 * Kat is one of few characters able to grip and hold onto walls for short periods of time, another example being Cole and his Evil Cole counterpart. Kat is also the only character who is able to crouch and block while clinging to a wall.
 * Kat's 3rd introduction, Gravity Daze, is the title for Gravity Rush in Japan.
 * The icon unlocked after reaching Rank 200 with Kat is the same image used for the trophy titled "Top Cat" from Gravity Rush. This trophy is earned by raising Kat's level to its maximum (Excluding the level cap raise with DLCs).
 * Kat is the only character who doesn't speak English that fights an opponent that does speak English.
 * Kat's second color swap for her Hekseville Heroine costume gives her a white-washed outfit and her regular blonde hair. This color swap can be seen in a snapshot of Kat's concept Art, meaning it was one of her original designs. This same white-washed color scheme is present on Kat's The Dark Cat costume.
 * It also have been discovered that Kat have 2 more costumes the Maid and Student costumes. (The concept are in Gravity Rush: Remastered)
 * If the Dark Cat costume is used during her rival cutscene, her tail will clip through her body.
 * Her third default color for Hekseville Heroine is similar in color to an apple which is also a theme to Gravity Rush.
 * In Gravity Rush 2, The Other or the Mysterious Woman wears an outfit similar to this color, though her hair is black instead.
 * All of Kat's second alternate color to all her costumes are references to her concept art color design.
 * Her third alternate color for Sea Kat is similar in color to Yunica's uniform.
 * Kat is the third Japan Studio character to be announced the first being Toro Inoue and second being Spike.
 * While other characters with a light-theme or lighter main menu theme will have a light rival theme when played, Kat is the only character that has a light main menu theme with a heavy rival theme.
 * In Gravity Rush Remastered, artwork for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale can be seen. There, images with Kat's various colors for her costumes are presented.
