Kátálin Réká Dorman (Ruvelkan: Űíṹíłĩṵ Ṷïűí Úīṷṳiṵ; IPA: /kætɑːlɪn reːkɑː dormɑːn/; 30 April 1880 - 12 June 1962) was a Ruvelkan military officer and an important leader of the Imperial Separatist faction that fought during the Ruvelkan Civil War. She served as the Imperial Minister of War and directly oversaw the creation and management of the Separatist Volunteer Guard. After the war, Kátálin was appointed by Princess Rózsá to the position of Minister of Defense and headed the development of the formalized Imperial Armed Forces.

Kátálin was born in Veszprém as the granddaughter of former Imperial General Pyotr Dorman who was allowed to remain and live in Ruvelka in political obscurity. As a result of her family’s previous connections to the Imperial Family and their service with White Forces during the Red War, the Dorman family was stripped of its wealth and lived in relative poverty. Kátálin was educated in Veszprém before studying abroad in Adygeysk, where she was influenced significantly by the heavily left-leaning culture of the Cacertian Empire. Following her return to the Socialist Republic in 1904 she joined the Red Army.

She is often credited as being one of the original founders of the underground Imperial Separatist Movement and was responsible for reaching out to Princess Rózsá in 1907. Together, along with significant support from both civilians and the military, Rózsá and Kátálin instigated the 1914 December Uprising that lead to the start of the Second Ruvelkan Civil War.

Alongside Rózsá, Kátálin is widely considered one of 20th century Ruvelka’s most significant figures. She was the subject of a cult of personality within the military in the immediate years after her death and has continued to remain a popular historical figure in modern-day Ruvelka.
