Familiar: Catherine Bloom
Another issue is about whether Catherine Bloom is his sister or not, should he not be related to Treize. Widely Catherine and Trowa seem to be considered relatives, which could be influenced from his time with amnesia. What seems to have been the real pusher is the manga Episode Zero which is comprised of background stories that were never able to make it into the television series due to tight schedules and then lack of room.
Well, like the relationships between most characters from Gundam Wing, it is all speculatory as to how fond they are of each other. In opposition to the sibling belief, there are those out there who believe they are not related by blood or any other form. From what I have seen it can go either way.
The main reason I will still consider the possibility of them not being siblings and there being a possible attraction is due to a site called "Trowa and Catherine: A Promise of Love" that goes about reasons they are not siblings. All of her proof is from art books, guides and biographies. If she is fluent in Japanese and was able to read them herself, I suppose her proof is true. There are also some doujinshi that revolve around their pairing. Unless all of those who chose the pairing liked incest, which I highly doubt, there is considerable likelihood that they are not blood related siblings.
What is certain though is that Trowa obviously cares deeply for Catherine. They work together and soon form a friendship or bond. Their bond seems to grow strong over time. Whether this grows to more is never known. What is shown is Catherine gives Trowa a reason to live. She becomes his home. All of this is realized due to the fateful day he decided to self-destruct and Catherine stops him. After that, he comes to find he does belong and eventually that he circus has taken him in as family.
Studying the Animation:
Since the anime is where it all started, I'll start examining it first. What will be looked into are relationships in general. While looking to see if there are any indications of a romantic love, all other forms of love will be looked into as well. Added on will be various speculations and observations. These will not only observe the various scenes, but some of the "proofs" out there as to why Trowa and Catherine are friends, biological siblings, "foster" siblings or a romantic couple.
☆ Gundam Wing Operation Meteor I & II: Odds & Evens OVA
☆ Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz
Studying the Graphic Novels:
With the animated series looked into, next would be the manga out there. Most of them however are not exactly official as they tell possibilities as to what could have happened between certain times of the television series, OVAs and movie. Nevertheless, it doesn't hurt to look at them.
☆ Shin Kidou Senki Gundam W Manga
☆ Gundam Wing: Battlefield of Pacifists
☆ Gundam Wing: Blind Target
☆ Gundam Wing: Ground Zero
☆ Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz
Conclusion:
So, when it comes to Trowa and Catherine's relationship is it romantic interest, protective nature, or mere friendship? It is undetermined. The series never was aimed at romance obviously. In any case, out of all the characters he is close to, Catherine seems like the closest to him in terms of the feeling of family. What sort of family he sees her as is unknown possible sibling or possible wife?
All the information gathered and studied thus far pretty much indicates that Catherine sees him as a little brother. Trowa seems to feel the same and looks to her like a sister. Who knows though? That doesn't mean the feelings cannot grow.
