Katarina x Sophia

Katarina x Sophia is the femslash ship between Katarina Claes and Sophia Ascart from the My Next Life as a Villainess fandom.

Canon
At the beginning of the anime, Katarina is seen reading a romantic novel about a commoner named Sophia and a princess, and hoping she had someone to read the story with because it's a forbidden book, so she barely knows anyone who read it. Sophia, on the other hand, is a very isolated child that didn't experience much of the outside world because she is considered "cursed" due to her unusual appearance. That is, until she meets Katarina. During a party, Katarina was rushing around to find a bathroom. And at that moment, she heard some people bullying Sophia, calling her "cursed." Katarina scared them away, and as Sophia turned to see her in slow motion, Katarina instantly thought about how beautiful Sophia is.

Later, she sees Sophia again, as she approaches her. But all that Katarina can think about is how similar Sophia is to the Sophia of her book. So Katarina starts acting in the same way the princess in the book did when she met the commoner, even softly grazing Sophia's hair. Until she realizes what she's doing, and quickly apologizes, very flustered. But Sophia confesses that she knows what Katarina is doing because she has also read the book. Katarina gets extremely excited and asks Sophia to visit her someday.

When Sophia comes, Katarina rushes to greet her but gets surprised to see her brother also joined her. However, Katarina spends the whole afternoon with Sophia, talking about the book. As they were leaving, Katarina asks Sophia to touch her hair out of blue. She immediately regrets this as she thinks that Sophia will now think she's weird for saying that. However, Sophia gets really impressed by how sweet Katarina is to her, to the point of crying.

After they are all grown up, Sophia starts having dreams, that are actually memories of her past life with Katarina. They were best friends who went to the same school. And Katarina was just as important to Sophia as she is in the current timeline. But she sadly passed away in a traffic accident before they even graduated, leaving Sophia completely devastated, and only with a last message from Katarina to remind her of her. Sophia wakes up from these dreams crying and with an unexplainable urge to see Katarina so she went to look for her and the both of them chatted happily about it, believing they were "just dreams."

Later, when they have to enter some dangerous caves as a test for school, Sophia and Katarina are in the same team. Along the way, Katarina gets lost and enters a part of the cave that has a huge deep hole in the middle. As Katarina slipped, only holding on with the strength of her hands holding the cliff, Sophia catches her before she falls. Grabbing her hand tightly, Sophia cries out that she doesn't want to lose her again, so the two of them are saved by a magic tornado that leads them to a safe place.

Sophia's romantic feelings for Katarina are confirmed when Sophia and Katarina, alongside several other characters, get sucked into a magic book, called "The Tale By The Name Of Desire," a magic book that creates the desires of humans. Maria and Mary realize that the book shows the deepest desires of the people sucked into it, and since all of them are in love with Katarina, all of theirs had to do with Katarina. Sophia happens in her personal library, filled with books Katarina loves. When Katarina mentions she wishes she could live there, Sophia gets so excited that she hugs Katarina against the shelf, getting really close to her face. She tells Katarina that she's prepared to live the rest of her life with her because she loves her. Katarina, as oblivious to Sophia's feelings as always, says she loves her too, but not in the way Sophia does, so Sophia quickly asks her who she loves more, her or sweets, which is only answered by Katarina's growling stomach.

Sophia even saves Katarina's life after she enters a coma-like state. She, in her past life form, goes to meet Katarina, in her past life form, and tells her she has a new life she has to come back to, which warps the reality around them. As Katarina comes back to her new life, she says goodbye to the Sophia from her past life, crying.

Fanon
is a rare pair in the My Next Life as a Villainess fandom. It's often overshadowed by Katarina's most popular ships, such as MariKata. And despite the fact Sophia has canon feelings for Katarina, some people prefer their relationship to stay as a friendship.
