Katie Matlin is a senior (Grade 12) at Degrassi Community School. She is a no-nonsense over-achiever, tough, efficient, and capable of excelling in the classroom, on the soccer field, and at the helm of The Degrassi Daily. Her character holds very strong similarities to former Degrassi student, Ashley Kerwin. Her younger sister, Maya Matlin, was introduced in New Beginnings as a freshman. Katie works hard at managing her emotions—and sometimes she expects others to do the same. She also suffered from bulimia and an addiction to Oxycontin. She is shown to be insecure about many things such as her body and her relationships. At times her insecurities can surface as rudeness, but she isn't considered as mean as her best friend Marisol Lewis. She is also friends with Mo Mashkour, Eli Goldsworthy, Clare Edwards, and is currently dating Jake Martin. She is enemies with Bianca DeSousa and Mike Dallas. She is portrayed by Chloe Rose.

Clare tearfully starts telling Katie about her breakup with Eli last semester and how she needs something(like the school newspaper) to help her get over it. Annoyed with Clare's melodramatic babbling, Katie tells her "Wipe away those drama queen tears and get out of my face!". Later during lunch, Clare and Alli are talking to Sav about how they think Katie is a bitch. Sav says that she's a great soccer player, fundraiser and that she's on the honour roll. Sav promises Clare that he'll talk to Katie about giving her a second chance. Katie later approaches Clare and says that Sav told her that she needed some grade ten students on staff and tells her that she's got the job. However, Katie is not happy that Clare turned to Sav(on the strength of being her best friend's brother) to convince her to give Clare the job. So, Katie assigns her to cover the play that Eli and Fiona are working on, knowing very well that Clare wouldn't be so thrilled with that idea.
