Cate's Potential Impact on Monarch

Cate Randa’s connection to Monarch opens up intriguing possibilities for the organization’s future. As the descendant of a dedicated Titan researcher, Cate has the potential to guide Monarch back to its original purpose as an effective scientific force. Her grandmother, Keiko, was committed to not only protecting humanity but also preserving the Titans. By following in Keiko’s footsteps, Cate could become a positive influence within the organization, aligning herself with its founding principles.

Unlike any other member of the Randa family, Cate has personally experienced a significant event known as G-Day, which has undoubtedly shaped her perspective. This unique experience could influence her role within Monarch, leading her to focus on containment and safety measures for cities, in contrast to Keiko’s focus on research. Cate’s potential contributions to Monarch could add a compelling dynamic to the organization as she navigates the balance between her scientific legacy and her own traumatic encounter.
