Several factors! For one, I wanted to play a villain/antagonist, which I hadn't really done, and I find Katherine's complete and utter focus on her own self-interest kind of refreshing. There was also a factor in that because she doesn't really build connections in the same way characters that aren't obsessively self-interested do, she struck me as sort of low maintenance, in that she can be imagined to be in the background, scheming and creating infinite fallback schemes in case someone comes after her.
(It's funny that I say villain, I do prefer antagonist for her because my position on TVD is that pretty much everyone's Bad People it's just that we're meant to root for the ones all the same side. But now I mostly just want Katherine to live forever.)
