Katie Rosebud Mitchell is the main protagonist of the 2021 animated film The Mitchells vs. the Machines.
What Makes Her a Shojo Heroine?[]
- Heroic/Honorable: Katie, alongside her family, manage to come together and save all of humanity from being sent into outer space to die by PAL. Katie is the one who threw PAL into a glass of water and killing her, thus ending the robot apocalypse.
- Bubbly: Katie is a very energetic and creative person, and this can be seen throughout the entire movie, through her films/vidoes and through her edits of the movie itself.
- Socially Awkward: Katie used to get made fun of because her classmates thought her home-made films were weird, it's one of the reason why she became a filmmaker. Her entire family is also socially awkward and gets weird faces from other people, much to her chagrin, but by the end of the movie, she accepts hers and her family's weirdness.
- Has a Crush on Someone: Near the beginning of the movie, it's hinted that Katie has a crush on a fellow college student named Jade, and by the end of the movie it's practically confirmed that they're dating.
- Believes in the Power of Friendship/Love: Near the end of the movie, Katie becomes more determined to make amends with her family, her father especially, and to stop PAL from sending all of humanity to outer space. In the final battle, her and her entire family comes together to help her defeat PAL.
- Possesses Plot Armor: Katie and her family survived many insane situations throughout the film. For Katie, the most insane were when she drove up the tower where PAL was and survived, and again when she threw PAL into a glass of water from said tower, but survived the fall because of Eric and Deborahbot 5000.
