!! Katrina Merton
-> Portrayed by: Creator/KatherineIsabelle ([[Series/{{Goosebumps}} TV]])
The protagonist. She finds the Grool under the sink of her new house, and she wants to get rid of it.
----
* AdaptationDyeJob: Is said to have "reddish" hair in the book, but has brown hair in the TV episode.
* AdultFear: When she worries that she might die because of losing the Grool, she imagines her brother walking to school alone, her parents crying their eyes out, and her aunt wondering why she didn't believe her. These make her more determined to get the Grool back.
* ABirthdayNotABreak: She wants to go to a water park with her friends for her 12th birthday. However, a rainstorm on that day has her mother cancel the trip. This makes Katrina furious at the Grool, believing its bad luck is to blame.
* ColorMotif: She likes to dress in outfits that include a range of [[PinkMeansFeminine pink]] and [[GracefulLadiesLikePurple purple]] clothing, her favorite colors.
* CryingWolf: She is smart enough to realize her parents won't believe her if she tells them about the Grool and its powers, but she tries it on her aunt and her teacher. She is not believed by either of them.
* DaddysGirl: She mentions how she is very like her father. They have the same favorite foods, favorite programs, and favorite activities.
* {{Determinator}}: When she finds out that she lost the Grool, and realizes that anyone who loses the Grool for 24 hours DIES, she is adamant to get this creature back no matter what.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: She defeats the Grool, there is no more bad luck in the Merton household, and she is safe. [[spoiler:But a certain Lanx could possibly cut the happy ending short.]]
* EmbarrassingNickname: Her father likes to call her "Kitty-Kat". Katrina does not appreciate this nickname.
* FieryRedhead: Has red hair, and a bit of a temper, especially when it comes to dealing with Daniel and Carlo's antics.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The Responsible to Daniel's Foolish.
* GenreSavvy: She realizes that if she tells her parents that the "sponge", the one that she and Daniel had been fighting over, is the one causing bad luck, her parents won't believe her and think that she's just lying about it to get away with misdeeds that had been happening recently.
* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: She is shown to be fairly girly, with a fascination for fashionable clothing and colors. However, she's not above certain hijinks with Daniel, and doesn't particularly mind going down a slimy sewer to find the Grool.
* TheGlomp: When Katrina thinks that she found the Grool after losing it, which could have caused her to die, she excitedly hugs Daniel's friend, Carlo, tightly. Carlo does not appreciate this, and tells her to get off him.
* NervesOfSteel: She went up against a few high schoolers who had taken the Grool and she wanted it back. It's even mentioned that they looked big enough to beat her up, but she tries it anyway.
* OnlySaneMan: Feels this way when being around Daniel and Carlo.
* SiblingRivalry: Has this with Daniel, even going so far as fighting with him over what they first believe is an old sponge, which their mother exasperatedly lampshades. Then again, Katrina DID realize that this was no ordinary sponge, and was challenging Daniel.
* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:She ends up holding the cousin of the Grool, which is the Lanx, a creature that can clamp down on a victim and only let go when he or she has completely drained away energy. It is unknown if the Lanx did this to Katrina. However, Goosebumps Wiki lists her down as "Alive", and she's smart enough to throw it off her, so she probably survived.]]
* YouthfulFreckles: She mentions that she has many freckles on her face, and she turns 12 halfway through the book.
