Kate
“Born in some exotic, within the Diamond World, she’s a dark witch like no other. She, unlike her evil twin sister Ashley, actually uses his dark magic powers to help those who need her… but at a price. She often, in exchange of her favors, asks their clients to give her a happy memory. Her client then mysteriously loses the memory forever. But secretly, she feeds from those memories. The happier the memory, the hungrier it makes her.
Her dark powers have a wide range of applications: from reviving the dead to brewing potions (both good and bad). It is widely believed that she can summon mysterious creatures however it has not been confirmed since the people she has been fabled to use these powers on are all dead.
However, dark magic isn’t the only one that Kate knows. She’s quite familiar with angelic powers. Like her sister does with demons, she spends most of her free time with angels (from the Blue family), learning new spells so she can grow more and more powerful; or at least powerful enough to counterspell her sister’s mishaps."

Athena:
Eccelente's Kate
Pros:
- Involved backstory that is very detailed and fitting within the game's world
- Character design is nice in that it reflects the base character well while still being very unique
- Kate herself is a nice reflection of being an "opposite" Ashley in personality and deeds, not just in design
Cons:
- The artwork feels very lazy to me, being just a recolour of the game's actual artwork with a ponytail photoshopped out. Even the parts that were added (wings, fairy) were just taken from other sources (a clipart site and Kid Icarus official art, respectively) and slapped on. I get that not everyone is an artist, but you're not being judged on artistic quality, but on creativity.
- I'm not sure how the character would actually fit into the franchise and would have liked to see references to game stuff and/or other characters aside from her counterpart in Ashley; it makes Kate feel like a standalone rather than part of a whole.
- The angel doesn't fit into the style of WarioWare at all, which is all the more heinous because it was more or less a simple copy/paste; a bit of effort could have made it fit in with the rest of the art.
Summary: Good characterization with detailed background, but is missing game connections and original art.
