PermanentFace: Prequel is a story about a Khajiit trying to get AWAY from the hypersexualized, alcoholic mess she's made of her life, and although I have no problem with stuff like this for what it is, I'm inclined to agree with That Guy that it kind of misses the entire point of her character.
That said, I don't think inserting yourself into a fantasized relationship with her is much closer to the mark.
PermanentFace: @ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: It's obviously not a good thing, but happiness is only associated with 'good' by connotation. Happiness is a feeling, so insofar as it makes her feel happy (however temporarily), it makes her happy. There's a golden tragedy in the fact that only through self-destruction is she able to find her highest happiness, and it's that tragedy that we're trying to revel in right now.
Alcoholism isn't a good thing. It's untenable, it leads to deeper troughs of despair in the aftermath, and Katia's struggle to overcome it is altogether admirable. I'm rooting for her all the way. But that won't stop me from appreciating a good, tragical paradox every now and then.
PermanentFace: @PermanentFace: To clarify, I'm not trying to justify her alcoholism. Prequel is driven by Katia's efforts to escape those parts of herself that she doesn't like - alcoholism, promiscuity, nightmares. But although her habits are self-destructive, and I appreciate her efforts to escape, I don't think you can claim that because she doesn't remember, or because she's suffering from addiction, the happiness she feels when drunk is less 'real.' The tragedy, like angrybacteria says, is that she is most at ease when she stops trying, and gives in to her most damaging impulses.
PermanentFace: @Skoon: False. You can, in fact, see the City from the shore of Lake Rumare: "From the shore it is hard to tell what is city and what is Palace, for it all rises from the islands of the lake towards the sky in a stretch of gold." -PGE1
PermanentFace: In ancient times, when this booru was newly forged, it was the responsibility of its creator, the mighty Kazerad, to upload all that fan art which came before.
The blood-red grasslands wouldn't be out of place in most of the Prince's realms, and if not for the floating heads I'd guess they belonged to Hircine. However, given the three whirling, delirious faces in the sky, it is obvious that this land either belongs to madness or to terror. I have seen the Shivering Isles, and know this place is not there, so that leave only Vaermina's nightmare plane.
PermanentFace: @ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: There is no ring of Mara in canon. In Skyrim, courtships are officiated by Amulets of Mara, but I have never heard of a ring.

Also, Khajiit aren't cats? Look at the Alfiq.
