Katrina Van Tassel is the lead female protagonist of Disney's 1949 short The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, that made the second segment of the film, Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad. Katrina is treated like a princess by everyone in Sleepy Hollow and, while a very cheerful, graceful, demure, smart, poised, and elegant young woman, appears to be rather oblivious to the fawning attitude of everyone around her, and seems somewhat carefree and frivolous. Because of this, she seems to be a bit spoiled. According to the original author, Washington Irving, she is "blooming, plump as a partridge, ripe, melting, and rosy-cheeked." She may also be manipulative, since she is implied to have only flirted with Ichabod to make Brom jealous.
