"Then you should know that some women don't take kindly to quipping. If you don't want to talk, then let me sit by your side in silence. I just want you to keep an open heart, Zeek..."

Overall
Kate is a decent fighter. She joins with good stats and has average growths. She will make a good unit that doubles as both a sword-user and archer. Her support with Sasha will provide useful, especially early on. Her promotion gives her a mount, but not as big of a stat boost as other classes. Her stats are very similar to the other Lady Knight, Sharon, although Sharon does tend to obtain higher Agility. She is a useful ally, but nothing in particular makes her stand out. Still, she is among the better half of the playable mounted units.

If one wanted to keep all playable characters alive for the ending, it should be noted that it is helpful if Kate is trained to a decent level, as she is auto-fielded in a late game chapter, and will find herself in the middle of the action. Although, Sierra or Renee have some tricks that can be used to ease that situation if Kate ends up being under-trained.
