Kat, known in Japan as Kitten,^[1] is a fictional character and the protagonist of the Gravity Rush series. A young woman with retrograde amnesia, she awakens in the city of Hekseville after falling from the sky, and sets out to discover the origins of her power to shift gravity. She becomes a hero to the people of the city after defending them from the threat of mysterious creatures called the Nevi. Her powers stem from Dusty, a supernatural, catlike organism that is bound to her, and whom she later realizes is a type of being known as a guardian. Her rival and, later, ally is Raven (Crow in Japan), a fellow shifter with a crow guardian named Xii who is said to be Kat's other half.

Kat was noted by the developers as a fan-favorite character, and has received critical praise for the unique nature of her powers, leading to inventive gameplay scenarios, as well as her optimistic personality, which runs in contrast to typical superheroes. In addition to the two Gravity Rush games and an anime short, she has had numerous cameo appearances in other titles of varying genres, and been depicted as an action figure.
