wait!! maybe catherine is one of the south hoof wild horses, with the quest of Justin he felt freedom in those horses. and one of the horses stopped for him!!+ they also saved him from getting back to druid prison
Ooh! Yeah great thought! That could also be another reason why Dark Core was working together with Mr Anwir, besides DC wanting to have controllable horses with super strengt and speed lol. But maybe they also wanted those horses because they knew one of them was Catherine
@@eleanornightwalker I think they mean that it would be an entire story summery of basically the main story quests, in case anyone forgot what order happened when, since it’s been a long time since we got anything from them.
Notice how in her diary she starts off by saying “I am done with this mortal body.” Key words: THIS mortal body. As if she is going to live on as something else in a different body (like a horse or other being.) I think that little detail is definitely a clue! Anyways, I really love your theory! It makes a lot of sense for sure
For a second, I though we might be Catherine but I dropped that pretty quickly.I think Catherine is a horse in the Druids. Maybe our starters or rhiannon's horse or something Along those lines.
Since we know that Catherine's horse's name is the same as our starter horse, here is another theory: I believe that our character is a reincarnation of Aideen and so was Catherine and it was passed down to us! I was shocked when I read that our horse is the same name as her horse. Like that is so cool. That's the same for the soulriders. Their names are different from the previous soulriders, but the horse's names still remains the same. And also there is another theory that Catherine and her horse became one and that they are our starter horse, would also make sense.
If Catherine died surely Thomas would have given her a grave or at least a picture of her so he could remember her face, it’s almost as if there ashamed of what happened
I have not watched the whole thing but I think she is our starter horse because we have a connection with our starter and with Catherine also when we encountered her on the light ride we were sent to her ghost without our horse (if that makes sense)
About the memory where she communicates with Justin and your theory that it could be through the moon circle could actually be true. SOUL RIDER BOOKS SPOILERS In the second soul rider book the soul riders are split up on different parts of Jorvik and Anne is in Pandoria. Anne needs guidance and help to find back to her purpose of coming to Pandoria which Linda can sense, even if she's badly injured and has a high fever. Linda telepathically communicates with Anne, she can't see Linda but at one point she gets a sensation of a hand on her shoulder. So I'm thinking if Linda can communicate like that through different worlds, then I wouldn't be surprised if Catherine could communicate with a future event.
What if .. Catherine is or starter-horse ! Like we have a humanish "conektion" like yeh its a star breed ( don't know how to spell it ) so it's normal for is to have a conektion but .. thats a Good disguise ! She is/was probebly a very smart women so i think its poseble . Well im not the one to make theories but what do you (everyone) think ?
This reminds me of the pink ground mural in the secret stone circle, in which it depicts the soul rider and soul horse of each circle sort of merging together to create this horse-human creature... Wish we had more of the story- there's a lot of unanswered questions so far.
What if Catherine is truly Avalon-ok let me stop blaming this man of all of Jorvik's problems. I don't think Catherine is our horse, but I believe she is Concorde. Back up for a second, that makes no sense, but I have my evidence. Concorde is a mare-filly-yearling? I have no clue about horse clues I deeply apologize. There's no clear reason why, however. All the confirmed Guardian horses we know are stallions/geldings. The Sun Circle was her best friend and brightest companion. Concorde's personality we've seen so far is very similar to how Catherine seems to act. Concorde had a strong desire to go to Elizabeth and bond with her instead. I know that was supposed to be because she's a Sun Circle as well, but she didn't try to bond with Evergray. In fact, she seems to have a distaste for him, just like I assume Catherine does. Maybe the true reason was because Catherine knew Elizabeth's destiny was to die during that questline. But of course, we held Concorde back, and she could never tell Elizabeth. She feels connected still to her magical abilities, while teaching all she knows to the next generation. I've seen people with pretty strong proof that she could be our starter, but our starter is a stallion (of supposed to be). So I believe Concorde is our Catherine. Sorry for how long it is, but I just found this really interesting. Great video as well!
So maybe our character is Catherine reincarnated? Will everything that happened to her happen to us? Would we have to merge with our starter horse to defeat Garnok?
I was just thinking about that last night and I don’t think the same things will happen, just that they could. Put simply, we (our characters and Catherine) are the same in spirit so what happened to her CAN happen to us but because our experiences have been different to Catherine’s, those things aren’t necessarily going to happen to us. Hopefully that’s not too confusing.
Awesome theory! (The following contains main story spoilers) ..... Also remember how that purple eyed horse that Everygray ended up keeping, I think shortly after Elisabeth’s death? It seemed oddly human and even back then I thought “what if Elisabeth lives on in/as this horse?”, maybe it was in fact Catherine though! I’ve seen another comment here that our starter was Catherine and I also have a theory for that! (Again a spoiler, this time from the game files!) what if these strange data’s called “starter horse Death” “starter horse rebirth” and I think “transformation” are part of a scene where our horse actually comes to some kind of weak point where it seems to die (maybe in the end war against garnok) but in reality it just retransforms into its original form, Catherine as human! That would eventually give us our own real soul horse(?)/starbreed (because notice how our horse is seemingly typical despite its ability to talk to us via telepathy and warn us... and the pink wings) compared to Concorde, Meteor, star shine and tin can who almost all have unique visuals and colours. I’ve already thought that the Rune runner will be our soul horse then but who knows maybe it will be a transformed version that looks more like the “core four” horses like I mentioned, as soon as Catherine leaves the horses body. Maybe it was Catherine all along who gave our ordinary starter it’s powers too!
This is such a great theory! It would actually be more interesting if it turns out that Catherine is still alive, but in the form of something else, maybe Thomas will have a bigger part in the story with helping us to find horse-Catherine?
My opinion is that when you are on your way to New Hillcrest to meet Lisa and find Evergrey, you follow Lisa’s song and find her with a foal. The foal turns out to be a starbreed like Starshine so I think Cathrine could be the foal ( Texas ). I’m really interested in finding out more maybe it will all make sense in the future! I also do agree that it could be our starter horse because we have a connection with both Cathrine and our starter horse so I think it could be either one. I’m still not so sure! Love your vids btw!
I actually think that when Catherine is in fact allive there’s a big posibilitie she’s our starter horse. Here’s why: In the quests that we look in Catherine memories we saw that her Horse was a Jorvik Warmblood. The same horse breed as our starter horse. We also know that she merged with her horse so it is very much so posible that she looks like it, right? We couldn’t see the collors of the Horse and we never had a description of it as far as I know so it could have any coat colour. Do you see wat I want to prove with that? Our Starter Horse also knows so much about the main story. Just a little theorie of mine ;) Hope u like it! And I hope it’s usefull for you Elaonor!😉💕
Also, as another comment i read by eseskel says: "Maybe our character is Catherine? In one of the quests from Jasper. He mentions Catherines horse and says our starters name." Just wanted to add that to this meaning if she merged with her horse, that is the same breed and has the same name as ours, its possible she kept the horse's name as her own since no one would probably realize its Cathrine inside the horse
Maybe out character is Catherine reincarnated because as she was related to all four circles. And us to maybe.. Also why would everything be linked to us in the light ride except her thoughts. As well as this we arrived in Jorvik for summer and ended up staying.
:O she cold be our starter horse !!!!!!!! think about it you need yout starter for de story qwest . wat is de rison for our starter to be magical cathareen had magikal powers .
Honestly i give up with the lore about Catherine to me its completely irrelevant. People just randomly mention her in quests so honestly it just confuses me 😂
Well, we know that Catherine somehow managed to ride our starterhorse, maybe was her horse. In her diary, she tells us that in her dreams she "united" with her horse, and gallopped happily. That would be some kind of... strange
Her spirit was free like a horse. She could be our starter horse like the top comment. Our character is the reincarnation of aideen. Catherine could have been another reincarnation of aideen but aideen soul passed to us and Catherine wanted to help the next reincarnation
I think you are right but i also think that Catherine is out starter horse because that was her horse even Jasper mentioned a part of Catherine being close and having a bond with her horse
This is a pretty good video And it would kinda make sence like you said she has the power of the moon curcle so maybe she could be a horse but what if Catherine was are Starter horse she could be if she is a horse and probley why the game tells us to use are starter horse So but also I think that when we where visting Catherines meories we are Probley talking to her soul not her ghost so ya Great video Eleanor
I think she is our starter horse and that’s why we have such a connection and need for our started horse and it’s because our starter horse has been through similar things.
I saw someone in this comment section mention that Chatherine may be our starterhorse. Honestly, I think the same. Why? Aideen's horse was named Nemo, but if Catherine feels the power of Aideen and she turns into a horse, she might be Nemo. Next to that, because we are connected to our horse and we have the power of all four circles, but Catherine has those powers too, she might be our soulhorse, Nemo, because she has the same powers as us, as our starterhorse then.
Yah Catherine is definite our starter horse because it talked to us before and it flew when we were saving Justin thats why he / she always comes with us in soul rider quests and has special powers!
I think that her body died, but her soul became one with her horse Nemo as all evidence pretty much pointing to that. Perhaps the reason why we can see her is because she technically is dead, but lives on by being literally one with her horse, whose body is her host. Maybe she can separate from Nemo and come visit us with her powers, as her soul is obviously still alive?
I was thinking you know the quest when Justin goes to south hoof and you have to find him Hermit talks about the wild horses and then thats when Justin meets them but one stays close to him so it could be catherine and then when the druids try and put justin back in jail the wild horses stop them so my theory is that catherine is one of the wild horses on south hoof and basically saved justin this maybe wrong but thats my theory!
Wish I could replay the main story again. I've forgotten so much and all the new updates are so distracting. More druids, talking horses from three random factions, a pony named peanut who's a mayor of a town... Idk, SSO has just become so goofy and all over the place in the past years.
I came up with this theory last night and I know this might sound weird and there is little to no evidence but whatever Ok so Pandoria in deep deep underneath the ground and then underneath panorama is the bottom of the sea. And I know this sounds weird but pandoria is magical and can do odd things but gornok is trapped in the bottom of the ocean and gornoks tentacles can reach pandoria by growing (how it can reach the surface too) so that means pandoria is above the bottom of the ocean. And then in the quest with one of the Guardian trees lisa (or the tree) said that the roots reach pandoria so that means pandoria is deep underneath the surface
Maybe Elizabeth knew Catherine was a horse and her horse is Catherine. And Elizabeth is the power that put Catherine in there so then when she died that’s why we had to do the memories so the power linking Catherine to the horse is weaker so we are going to be able to free her from the horse
i was riding in dundull and i heard a screen that sounded like a girl ( on the sound track ) that reminds me when i go to redwood i here like a monster like roar ( also on the sound track ) it just came to mind
Another thing is she talked about Justin. I'm not sure whether her and Thomas would have decided on a name before Justin was born but either way i dont think she had time to give birth, name him, jot down she loved him in her journal, and then RIP'd.
That is a really good theory! I wasn't sure about how she ended before but now I am. The ritual that has gone wrong must somehow have caused her soul/spirit to go merge with a horse or become a horse. She did in fact die after Justins birth, not her spirit but her body. And if you believe in the afterlife that's exactly what happens to us too, we go elsewhere. She must have felt the moment was coming soon, maybe already since the ritual when here fate was sealed. Possibly a child being and growing in her stopped the riutals result from completing itself, until she gave birth. I agree with theories saying that Catherine could be our starter horse! Crazy but totally possible!
I do like your theory about Catherine. But I see her dream as not so much wanting to be a horse but having an actualisation of herself as a horse - like once she's 'done with this mortal body' she's going to move onto a new one - a horse one. And maybe her horse wasn't destroyed by whatever ritual Everygray performed - the soul wasn't lost but melded with hers (which you said, didn't you?). I think that ritual was the reason Evergray was exiled - it was vastly dangerous, it went wrong, and it required more magic/different magic than the druids are supposed to/allowed to use - but I hadn't noticed before this video that she says 'they' thought she was Aideen reborn, not 'we' (her and Evergray) or 'he' (just Evergray). So who were 'they'? Evergray and Fripp? So many questions! I actually dusted off my old avatar to try out the new 'Fripp's Agents' quest line... but definitely underwhelmed so far. Maybe it will improve soon...
I think that Catherine is a horse thats riding somwere in the woods... just what i think, maybe a horse of the soul riders or like a wild horse... who kmows
In the books they tell us that Catherines sister died because the sister wanted to go on the halloween trail ride together with Catherines friends (Her soulrider generation) So Catherine wasn't dead, her sister was. But we know that the books might not be cannon... They also say that she died (Might be her sister) slipping of a cliff, or something. But this wasn't in the original books but the trilogy. I don't know if the exist in english. I read them in Swedish tho
What if she has always been a horse. But a reason she chanched into a human and then had to go back after a certain amount of time or event(childbirth). She clearly writes that the feeling of the grass on her hooves is familiar!
This would also help give a backstory on why the player character can transform themselves into a wild horse. We have the ability to bond souls with our horse and become one with them.
hi, eleanor! i have an idea for a vid u could do-- there's this meme called the iceberg, and there are 7 levels, the first one being very well-known things about your topic, and the last one being something about your topic that barely anyone knows. you put different things on different levels according to how well-known they are and then you explain them. an example is northflower's warriors iceberg. you could do this for star stable, maybe? with your theories?
Have you ever consider the possibility that chatherin can control the spiritual trees and unlocking the last spiritual tree in Wildwoods will reveal something
catherine is probably the last rider cuz there is one more horse missing where she "lost" her horse. and i saw now i the comment section that maybe catherine is our start horse witch is very possible cause there are other theories that says that our starter will die in the future and if they do, well then maybe catherine will return and all that yezz :)
I was watching someone's video where they glitched into the unreleased area of wild woods (I do NOT suggest glitching so pls don't do it) and their was this horse named the Warrior Guard. Even though she wanted to be a horse she would probably still want to help keep Jorvik safe protect the land ect. Personally I think this would be a good time to but the past behind Catherine into the story. This is just a theory but wouldn't it just match? I am not a professional at theories but I think it would be interesting. My friend started suggesting that Catherine might be a starter horse but I love my starter horse and all but they don't really talk much using there little chat. If our starter horse would be Catherine they would've maybe played a bigger part in the story.
Hey Eleanor, I've only just noticed that there is a school uniform outfit for you to buy in sso. I think it's been out for a while but you can see it in global store. Is that a clue that we'll be getting the academy? I was unsure because it is called 'Jorvik academy' and not 'starshine'
i think that maybe Catherine is US. the reason for this idea is because well, WE love horses, she loves horses, she can communicate with other ghosts, we can talk to ghosts too,(in that one side quest were we got some long lost ghost lovers together idk). parts of Catherine's soul could be part of ours, I feel like we have so much in common with her, and are connected to her in someway. we were able to trace her memories before she "died". I think I have a lot to piece together, some dots to connect, but still. :)
i don't know if you know this of not but that mistfall boots camp video they talk about how she can fit a whole couch in her bag and when you click on the couch in game it says...a piece of furniture and below it it says (for use in the future) idk why i comment that but i think its a hint any way love your videos
I still think she died, but not in childbirth. I think she sacrificed herself somehow, and possibly asended to a higher plane of existence, or a limbo area? She didn't want to die, but it was the only option. Perhaps in some ritual? Maybe to keep Garnok at bay?
If you haven't seen the 2nd harry potter and don't want to be spoiled, don't read this- (this is a theory btw) You know the first thing I think of when Catherine comes to mind is her diary. This is completely unrelated but, Tom Riddle had a diary, right? If Catherine died, maybe she did something similar? I know that Harry Potter is completely unrelated to Star Stable, but I couldn't stop to think what if? What if Catherine made a diary to store her memories, so that part of her would still be out there. Now, I've heard about the horse part, which does make a lot of sense, but maybe since she wrote all her memories, but when we communicated with her, she was only a memory? I feel like if she was a horse she might've tried to communicate with us by now, but she likely wouldn't know where we are and stuff like that?? I believe she could still be out there, running around. Also, remember when we were looking at one of the memories, and Linda said it was a "half-life" or something on those lines? This is so random, since this video came out 7 months ago, but I've totally been binge-watching all your videos- Theories are too fun to hold back on!
Hey! So I know this is an old video, but this theory might be valid. I found in the secret stone circle something.. In there you know on the ground there's this big purple drawing of the Soul Riders and their horses doing the light ceremony AND above the 4 of them is drawn a Horse-man. Standing on 2 legs a humany figure with horse head, holding in it's hand something. Looks like it's doing magic. This could be Catherine! Someone in these comments said Catherine could be our starter horse, maybe during fighting Garnok, Catherine reveals herself or we'll have to become one with her! What do you think?
Back in Starshine Legacy the horse-people befriended a horse and its rider (presumably Aideen) and thereby created the Soul Riders. Since the drawing in the secret stone circle has been there since the beginning of the game, I believe this is simply to show where the Soul Riders got their powers. Of course, I don't know where the new lore will be taking it, or if they might remove or replace the drawing altogether - after all, the Soul Riders don't look like their predecessors anymore, so they wouldn't be able to recognize themselves in it (like they did in Starshine Legacy). If anything, they might replace the horse person with another girl, which is supposed to be Aideen/the fifth soul rider (us) 🤔 anyhow, I think it's unlikely that it's supposed to represent Catherine in particular, or that it's a clue of her still being alive
