Katina "Katchoo" Choovanski is part of the triangle at the heart of STRANGERS IN PARADISE; she is hopelessly in love with the straight Francine Peters, while their friend David is hopelessly in love with Katchoo.
Katina "Katchoo" Choovanski ran away from her abusive stepfather, only to find herself a pawn in a criminal enterprise that trained young women to seduce powerful men for financial or political power. She and her lover Emma, who died later of AIDS, stole a lot of money from the cartel and escaped.Returning alone to her old life and the company of her best friend Francine Peters, Katchoo has tried to escape her past, but is still being hunted down by both the criminal cartel AND the FBI.
The emotional counter-currents of this series are complex: David loves Katchoo; Katchoo loves Francine; Francine loves other men. And since David is related to the head of the criminal cartel, who wants him back, and Katchoo is related to some of its worst enforcers, who want her back AND bearing an heir to the family, there's a lot of tangled love and pain to go around.
Creator Terry Moore chose to present this series as a branching of alternate possible futures as the characters make different choices that alter their lives, so there's no single answer to how their triangle is resolved.
