—Cath to Chad in a support conversation
Cath is a playable character in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade.
Profile[]
A normal girl from the countryside at first, Cath's village was burned down by her father under orders from nobles, causing her to hate nobles with a deep passion and steal from them as a result. During her multiple encounters with Roy, Cath regarded him as a snobby noble at first and did not believe his sympathies when she told him her tale. Eventually, she grew interested in how he lacked a noble demeanor, and became his ally after she confirmed that he was truly unlike the rest of them when she heard that he would help her rebuild her village.
After the war ended, Cath declined invitations from various places to continue traveling alone. She kept an eye on whether or not Roy would be able to keep the promise he made to her when he invited her to be an ally.
Personality[]
Priding herself for being a chivalrous thief by stealing only from nobles, Cath is abrasive and frequently tries to steal from her own allies, but takes a genuine liking to her support partners and usually ends up giving back whatever she stole from them.
Because of the harsh mistreatment she's endured in the past, Cath has an extreme hatred for nobles and influential people, and even despises her father for being the one to put the torch to the village, though Bartre points out that he likely did it to protect her and the other villagers, considering how their lord's soldiers were starting to draw their weapons.

Cath is the last recruitable thief in FE6. However, she still has her own places to shine if utilized correctly. For instance, if you recruit her in chapter 12, she can open the chests on the right side easily, meaning you don't need to bring a second thief or chest keys to accomplish this task. In chapter 16, in hard mode with a pure water, she can take a bolting or purge from the enemy mages and bishops, something Chad cannot do. Astore can also do this, but as the map is so big and there are chests on opposite sides, having two thieves is a good idea. Her utility generally stems from the chapters where you need two thieves, but also need them both to be able to take a hit, which Chad cannot do without extensive training that will be wasted on him as opposed to Cath doing it for free.
One common reason players decide to kill Cath instead of recruiting her is because it stops reinforcements in certain chapters. However, if you recruit her in chapter 12, she only spawns one thief reinforcement in chapter 8 besides herself. You can steal her lockpick or block the room and kill the other thief easily before they get anywhere near a chest if you play at a decent pace. Even if you do not plan to use Cath for anything, as you want to spend a lot of gold on chest keys or plan to skip chests, leaving her unrecruited is an option so you can steal her lockpicks over and over again, as they sell for a fair amount.

Cath despises war, and that's actually the reason why she targets nobles and their hoards of riches. In her eyes, they were always the ones to start wars. | |||
One day, she encountered Roy of the Lycian League. At first, she hated him for being a noble, but she took an interest in him when he spoke to her on the battlefield…though it took a few conversations for them to see eye to eye. | |||
Roy told Cath that he would bring a swift end to the war and bring back peace. Hoping to ascertain the truth of his words, Cath joined the Lycian League's army! | |||
