Katja is the main antagonist of the Supernatural episode "About a Boy".
She is a powerful witch who cooked and ate children for centuries with the help of her right-hand, Hansel. Upon arriving in America to deal with Rowena, Katja kidnapped J.P, Tina, and Dean Winchester, and attempted to kill them, alongside Sam Winchester.
She was portrayed by Lesley Nicol.
Personality[]
Katja is shown to be an extremely sadistic witch to the core who takes joy in murdering children specifically, describing their innocence as the main factor. She also seems to take a preference towards American children, as they are very fat, which she describes as almost buttery. Katja is also very twisted, as she kidnapped Hansel and his sister Gretel, and had Hansel eat his sister's heart. While he did it of his own free will, that doesn't make it any less worse.
Biography[]
Several centuries ago, Katja kidnapped Hansel and his sister Gretel. A fable was made off of the story where they killed Katja by pushing her into her oven and escaped, but in truth, Katja befriended Hansel and he began working with her. When Gretel tried to escape, Katja killed her and had Hansel eat her heart. Having become evil himself by that point, Hansel gladly did so and continued to work with Katja for centuries to kidnap children so she could eat them.
By 2015, kidnapping children had become harder due to Amber Alerts and other methods of searching for kidnapped children, so Katja resorted to having Hansel use the transfiguration spell to transform adults who wouldn't be missed into children so she could eat them instead. When Rowena started stirring things up, the Grand Coven sent Katja to stop her.
Arriving in Pendelton, Oregon, Katja got a house and continued her work, with Hansel kidnapping J.P., Tina and Dean Winchester. Dean escaped and returned with Sam to kill Hansel, learning his identity and master. Altering their plan, the Winchesters tried to kill Katja with Bobby Singer's witch-killing spell, however, Hansel turned on them, disarming Sam while Katja smashed the spell. While she was distracted explaining her love for fat American children, she mentioned her affiliation with the Grand Coven and her task to deal with "poor stupid" Rowena.
Dean threw her off by surprising her with his knowledge of Rowena and Sam attacked her while he fought Hansel. Both were overpowered, and Katja ordered Hansel to use the hex bag to turn Sam into a child too. When Hansel reached for the hex bag, it is revealed that Dean managed to steal it during his scuffle with Hansel and used it to reverse the spell on himself and revert to his normal age. Dean then proceeded to kill Hansel and shove Katja into her own oven after stuffing the hex bag in her mouth, presumably to stop her from casting any spells, incinerating her and the hex bag.
