Changes from the original

 * As Katarina didn't take the "green thumb" line from the prince, Mary is not in love with her.
 * Katrina is less stupid than in the Canon version, as the Monkey Girl's memory didn't have time to rewrite her personality to the extreme; minds are more malleable as child, but less so as teenagers.
 * Katarina's heel turn is treated with suspicion by everyone; due to the fact she grew up mean.
 * Prince Gerald still develops affection for the new Katarina, but only after she's beat the game's Story by proving her sincerity with the heroine defending her from new bullies.
