On twitter he said there's actually only one difference: one's a drawing and the other is a photograph

This turned sour quick.

Heh, so the Ether looks very different to Kat. Much more simple, really.

[Max™]

Poor Kat, all she sees is the mundane backdrops, while everyone else has to revel in The Glory of the Metal Angel, whether they want to or not.

It's going to be really funny when she asks why they can't just pop the lock and proceeds to put action to words.  She can see the shackles right in front of her.  Annie's going to see a giant metal angel ripping the heart out of a maze in a single mighty blow or the like.  It'll be like her picking up the only VHS tape in the library or spotting the "spooky monster in the shadows" (guy in hood and cheap plastic costume standing in the corner).

EDIT:
And you know, I still find the dichotomy from then so funny that I had to find it again.  Kat and everyone else.

So I wonder what causes the difference between the two's perception. My first thought is her contact with beings like Coyote influenced it, a la "Looking at Cthulhu drives you insane", but Mort saw things the same way. Maybe it has to do with her being more scientifically minded and thus less susceptible to the ether messing with her perception? Annie isn't terribly superstitious but she has come into contact  with a lot of supernatural stuff. Same with Zimmy and Gamma. Mort likely didn't have a lot of blatantly supernatural encounters throughout his life, but, he did become a ghost. So y'know.

Kat, however, has experienced some supernatural things but not quite on the same level. Annie has been inundated with Forest-related things, ether exploration, Renard, etc. Zimmy and Gamma have to wade through Zimmingham and knows more about the ether than Annie seems to. Kat knows Renard and has seen some of the supernatural things, but most of it is second-hand. I mean, how many instances of blatant magic has she really been present for? That might influence her thinking somewhat, allowing her to see the ether more...frankly, for lack of a better term.
