(NOTE: WORK-IN-PROGRESS. YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THIS PAGE IF YOU WANT TO.)

Katrina Crane VS Mistress West is a What-If Death Battle featuring Katrina Crane from Sleepy Hollow (2013 TV Series) and West from Emerald City (2017 TV Series). This idea was made by MetaCeejay97.

Description
Sleepy Hollow meets The Wizard of Oz! Which maiden mage from long ago is the superior witch?

Interlude
Wiz: Literature and fantasy have almost always mixed together really well. Fantastical settings, monsters that become iconic, and, of course, the cast of characters that inhabit the world.

'''Boomstick: Today we'll be looking at two women from two of the most influential books of their genre. It will be simply magical.'''

Wiz: Katrina Crane, Ichabod's lover from Sleepy Hollow.

Boomstick: And Mistress West, the Wicked Witch from Oz.

Wiz: These women have had multiple interpretations throughout the existence of both of these works, so in this Death Battle, we will be looking at their most recent counterparts, with those being Katrina from the Sleepy Hollow show during its first two seasons and West from the 2017 series Emerald City. I'm Wizard and he's Boomstick, and it's our to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win in a Death Battle.

Katrina Crane
(Cue Sleepy Hollow TV Theme)

Wiz: Katrina Van Tassel was first introduced to lore in the 1820 short story known as ''The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. ''In it, she was a typical damsel in distress for whom both Ichabod Crane and Brom Bones vyed for her hand in marriage.

Boomstick: Did we mention she was just eighteen years old in that book?

Wiz: However, the Katrina we'll be looking at today isn't a damsel, but a witch.

Boomstick: A witch that spews out ALL the exposition.

(Cue scene of Katrina throwing out exposition.)

'''Boomstick: God! Kill me now.'''

(Cue Sleepy Hollow Movie Theme)

Wiz: Anyway, Katrina Van Tassel was a witch from a young age. She spent most of her life either healing people or practicing her craft. She even help to deliver all five children of Abigail Adams, the wife of John Adams.

'''Boomstick: Yup. She was the midwife of the wife of a soon-to-be president. She even helped to create the Sisterhood of the Radiant Heart, whose mission was to stop the world from going to shit. Katrina's life was sluggish, even though she was soon to marry a gentleman by the name of Abraham Van Brunt, who turned out to be the future Headless Horseman, who also turned out to be the Horseman of Death. I swear I am not making this up.'''

Wiz: It seemed like her life was relatively stable, but dull. That was until American Revolutionary War. There, she acted as a nurse so that she could treat the wounds of a soldier who was brutally interrogated by one of the British troops. In was in that moment that she would meet the love of her life, a lieutenant by the name of Ichabod Crane. They saw each other and Ichabod fell in love with her.

'''Boomstick: There was still the problem of Abraham, who also wanted to be her husband. Katrina decided to choose the man with the sweet-ass facial hair instead of the guy with all the money, proving that facial hair is important to scoring chicks.'''

Wiz: Boomstick's unjustified egotism aside.

Boomstick: Hey!

Wiz: They wed and Katrina gave birth to a son called Jeremy, who would later become the Horseman of War.

'''Boomstick: How come everybody she meets becomes evil? Next thing you know, her dead mother could be the Horsewoman of Famine!'''

Wiz: Could be. Their lives were swell even long into the Revolutionary War. But it came to a screeching halt when Ichabod... well, how should we put i-

Boomstick: He was cut down like a bitch!

Wiz: Well, it was more like he used a two-pronged attack on Abraham and was then sealed in a cave along with Abraham for over two centuries by Katrina herself.

'''Boomstick: Buuuuut it turned out that shit was illegal and she was sent to Purgatory for that same amount of time. So in other words, he got cut down like a bitch.'''

Wiz: God damn it, Boomstick.

'''Boomstick: When she was freed, she showcased the power she built up after being trapped in Purgatory for a long-ass time, barring her channelling abilities. She can control fire, ice, lightning, flora, and light itself, as well as being able to resurrect the dead and move people with her mind. Not to mention being able to cast spells and brew potions.'''

Wiz: Her non-spell and non-potion powers can be attributed to her ability to draw her power from nature. Her time in Purgatory temporarily weakened her, but the amount of life on Earth refuelled her quickly and she regained power  fast.

'''Boomstick: What is this? Sleepy Hollow or Goddamn Captain Planet?!'''

Wiz: There's one thing you forgot.

Boomstick: You mean her deadliest ability: time travel.

Wiz: So you haven't forgotten. Yes, Katrina has the ability to travel through time with the aid of a spell, like when she tried to kill Ichabod during the Revolutionary War so that her plan of populating the country with witches wouldn't be stopped and I swear to god none of this is made up.

'''Boomstick: Mindf*ck aside, she has achieved some feats of note. She survived 200 years in Purgatory without being killed by Moloch. You know, the boss of the bossiest demons in existence who once raised an army of the dead who had super speed, super strength, and never tired. That's gotta be some powerful shit she has inside of her. (chuckles)'''

Wiz: She also managed the feat of time travel, for which most witches are unable to do, removed the influence of the Horseman of War from a person, and even birthed Moloch himself.

Boomstick: Another feat she has is that she destroyed a car with a fireball the size of her hand.

Wiz: We don't know Crane's measurements, so we had to make a little stretch and use her actor instead. Katia Winter is 5' 7 3/4", or around 1.72 metres tall, so we'll use the average hand size of a woman's hand, which has a square area of 19.7", since she is of average height for a woman, so the fireball she launched was around that size in diameter if it were spherical, which it was. The car was a relatively bulky build, being around 26' in diameter and weighing approximately four tonnes. The colour of the flame was blue, meaning it was 2732 °F, more than enough to destroy the car.

'''Boomstick: Whoa... With all of that, she must be nearly unkillable, right?'''

Wiz: Well, she has a few weaknesses. She is a witch, so while she uses magic, she prefers not to wear armor, which is bad since she is relatively frail. Also, for a nurse, she doesn't know many healing spells, and none of them she knows can be used to save herself.

'''Boomstick: Like when she died from being stabbed. She could have usd her magic to heal herself, but knew nothing about healing herself. She is also easy to manipulate if you mention a family member or a good friend being in some sort of danger, or, more likely, pride for her kin. This is what made her into a psychobitch later on in the second season.'''

Wiz: These factors actually make her an easy foe to defeat. You just have to get past her magic. In that regard, she was one of the deadliest threats known to mankind, and her legacy lived on for a long time. If she uses her magic correctly, she could very well prove to be a major challenge.

Katrina: ''General Washington made a pact with our coven. If we helped win the war, Witches would finally reintegrate into society. A promise he reneged on and one that must be reconciled at any cost.'

Mistress West
(Cue Yellow Brick Road)

'''Boomstick: The Wicked Witch of the West first brought in her uber-powerful eye and flying monkeys in 1900 with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. She has had many variations ranging from good to Mila Kunis, but today we are looking at Mistress West from Emerald City who- Holy shit! She's one hot babe. I always thought the Wicked Witch of the West was meant to be hag-like and shit.'''

Wiz: BOOMSTICK! Focus!

'''Boomstick: Okay, sorry. Anyway, twenty years ago, a freaky-ass demon named Roquat was freed and f*cked Oz all the way up. Not even the power of the Cardinal Witches could stop him, and they are practically invulnerable. It took Kingpin to trick another witch into making moving statues to seal him in a mud prison for good.'''

Wix: After Frank Morgan helped to defeat Roquat, or the Beast Forever, as he was known, he took over Oz, but not before ordering the deaths of the Pastoria family and banning magic.

'''Boomstick: The first person to agree to this ban? Only the Mistress of the Western Fields, Vessel of Truth and Solace herself. You can call her West. She is a Cardinal Witch, meaning she is a nearly omnipotent woman of deathly chaos.'''

Wiz: Don't overestimate her.

'''Boomstick: Why? She can only be killed by a member of her own species. She has awesome magic! What about any of that is overestimating?'''

Wiz: She is a loner with a bad life and is ignored.

West: For I am not easily loved.

'''Boomstick: Ohhh... shit.'''

(Cue Tip Learns Magic With West)

Wiz: West grew up under the loving care of Mother South along with her sisters. When she grew up, she became the Vessel of Truth and Solace when she was assigned to the West of Oz. She grew up well besides her opiate addiction due to anxiety issues, but that was about to crash down when the Beast Forever attacked. She, along with her sister Glinda, commanded the witches to attack Roquat, with West giving the witches opium-tainted milk to keep them calm. It turned out as well as you expect.

(Cue Witches drowning)

'''Boomstick: After the war ended, she stopped practicing magic and decided to open a brothel in Emerald City. It was run down, but West enjoyed her new lifestyle, even though she thought her mother was dead. That was until a girl called Dorothy ended up f*cking everything up, causing Mitress East to die and West to be sad.'''

(Cue West running out in tears)

Wiz: This would end up benefitting her in the long run, however, as she ended up meeting Tip, who was actually the daughter of the King and Queen of Oz, Ozma. They bonded massively until Ozma regained power. All because of West.

'''Boomstick: See, Wiz? Friendship IS magic.'''

Wiz: Boomstick. Stop.

'''Boomstick: Being a witch, she cannot be killed by anyone other than another witch or good old fashioned suicide. Even if a witch were to get close to her, she could easily bitchsmack the attacker without touching them. Want more? Okay, she has the fabled Sherlock Scan, meaning she can detect thing within a blink of an eye, like that one time she detected that a worker for the Wizard broke her vow of chastity and then detected the father of the baby instantly! This comes from her high-ass perception and clairvoyance abilities.'''

Wiz: She also wields the basic abilities of witches, like teleportation, flight, shapeshifting, and superpowerful screaming. Not joking. These abilities, alongside her unique ones, make her one of the most powerful witches in Oz. This is emphasised by the fact that her magic is still strong, despite being both out-of-practice AND a massive opiate addict.

'''Boomstick: Like that time when she performed her sister's funeral rites to the letter, or that time when it took twenty witches to bind her, despite also being weakened from both a suicide attempt AND emotional trauma at once. She is one tough bitch. But all of that is nothing compared to her deadliest weapon: sarcasm!'''

West: Even dogs know the bitches from whence they came.

​West: Where I come from, trouble plays.

''​West: She was succelent. Tasted her myself.''

''​West: My tongue... perfect.''

​Wiz: It seems like she loves to use sarcasm a lot, and it is an effective method, not only helping her to cope through her relatively pitiful life, but also as a way of pissing people off, making them become irrational and lose focus. It may not have actually happened
