- "Breaking news. Extermination day is canceled. Charlie Morningstar managed to fend off the angelic attack with more than just nice words. In unseen turn of events, our demonic head honcho Lucifer stepped in to save his daughter's ass in the last moment. We're also hearing reports that Adam, leader of the Angelic Legions, first man and totally fuckable bad boy, has been slain by a filthy janitor. The janitor said, quote, "Charlie told me to stab, so I did". Anyway, congrats to Charlie and her crew for not being totally fucking useless for once."
- ―Katie Killjoy, about the news on the aftermath of the Extermination
Katie Killjoy is a sinner demon and the head anchor of 666 News, Hell's premiere news station. She is a supporting character and a minor antagonist who made her debut in the Hazbin Hotel pilot.
Appearance
Katie is a tall, very thin, white-skinned demon with a long neck that mirrors her torso. She has a large round head and blonde hair that has been cut into a neck-length bob styled to flair out into an almost fan-like shape with lighter-colored streaks, and bangs that are swept to the side.
Her eyes have rose-colored sclera and normally non-visible white pupils, and she also has red lipstick on her lips.
Her attire consists of a set of pearl earrings, a matching pearl-choker around her neck, a black-trimmed rose blazer with a sweetheart neckline and enclosed by two black buttons, and a simple black pencil skirt.
Full Demon Form
In her Full Demon form, she reveals an extra pair of eyes, which, alongside her original pair of eyes, glow bright red. She also summons two extra pairs of arms that resemble the front legs of a praying mantis, right below her usual pair of arms. She also gained sharper teeth.
Pilot
In the pilot, Katie's overall appearance is exactly the same, only her outfit consisted of a long-sleeved dress that bore a striking resemblance to her blazer, albeit without the black buttons and trim, and she also wore a set of white loose dress pants, and a pair of rose-colored heels.
Personality
Katie is arrogant, selfish, and narcissistic. She openly derides Charlie's plan to rehabilitate Demons. She cares mostly about her own image, the hottest stories, and the latest gossip.
She doesn't seem to care about, or even acknowledge Charlie's royal position in Hell, and openly expressing contempt for her and her ventures. She has also been shown to be homophobic, refusing to even shake hands with Charlie, claiming she "does not touch the gays" due to her "standards".
Katie is aggressive and seems to always be on edge. She deliberately spills hot coffee on Tom's crotch, while insulting and threatening Charlie. At the same time, Katie does not tolerate insults in her direction, and when Charlie snaps and calls her a bitch, Killjoy instantly falls into a rage and rushes at the princess with her fists.
In "The Show Must Go On", she was willing to acknowledge Charlie, Lucifer, and Charlie's friends for fighting against the Angels and having the Extermination Day cancelled, saying that they were "useful for once".
Abilities
- Immortality - As a Sinner, Katie is biologically immortal, being unable to die from illnesses and unable to age, remaining the same age as when she died, thus can not die of old age and other natural causes. She also cannot die from any kind of damage to the body, and will recover from any injury, however, she can only be permanently killed with angelic weaponry.
- Demon transformation - Killjoy has the ability to transform into a more demonic form when angered.
- Body distortion - Katie is capable of distorting her own body. She can crack and distort her own neck and snap it back in place with ease and have no lingering side effects afterwards.
Skillset
- Hand-to-hand combat - Killjoy is shown to go all-out when she engages in hand-to-hand combat. Her skills are well known by Trench as he quickly escapes the scene after Charlie angers her.
