Well, here are some things that I've thought of that may or may not actually help your little sister's problems, but I really hope they do. Please understand that I just want to help you and your family without any ill intentions...

1. Well, first, as I say, keep the 2 parties as happy as possible. If your mom demands something, do it right away. If your sister demands something, you should also do the same. If your sister wants to say something to you, just listen to her and DON'T deny her. If you disagree with something she says, just keep it for yourself and says "hm hm?" while nodding your head or something. However, if your sister and your mom directly tries to get in a fight with each other, stop them right away (though I really hope this won't happen).

2. Then, when you think they've cooled down a bit and can actually consider your words, then, if your sister has started cutting herself, just ask her this: "...Do you feel anything other than pain when you cut yourself?",... then you'll know what to do next. However, I must admit this will only stop her from hurting herself even if it succeeds.

3, Thirdly, you should get that the problem here is not to tell Katheryn-chan that mom loves her, it's to make her GET that mom loves her (and I believe she does, because if you're still here that means your mom doesn't actually hate any of you no matter how she may appear). First. stop mom from actually locking Katheryn up in the garage by convincing Katheryn to clean her room herself as hard as you can, and if that doesn't work (...and I actually think it most likely WON'T work, I must admit, but it worths a try), then wait until mom gets away or something then clean Katheryn's room yourself, BUT make sure you say that Katheryn did it when mom returns. Afterwards, of course your best course is to avoid being caught of lying, that will cool them down a bit further and help reconcile them somewhat, but if you DO get caught, then just try to stay calm and explain that it's just for the whole family's sake. Your mom may or may not understand, but it's worth a try because otherwise she simply WON'T understand.

4-1. This is only for the worst situation, but if Katheryn does end up locked in the garage anyway (which I really, REALLY hope won't happen), then there's nothing else I can say but... well, just try to convince your mom to release her as soon as possible... though I believe she will release her after a while anyway.

4-2. If your mom and sister start to get more peaceful with each other, here's the most dangerous (and ambiguous) step: confront mom. First, ask her if she actually loves Katheryn (although the answer is obvious, the matter is not the answer, it's the question. You don't really need the answer, but asking the question usually works), then ask her why she did this to Katheryn. The answer will most likely be "because I want her to be a better person" or something of the sort. That's ok. Again, you don't really need the answer, you just need to ask the questions to make mom think and speak the answers out loud, comforting her and re-igniting her love for Katheryn in the process. Note that she may get angry with you in this phase (though again I hope that doesn't happen). If so, then again, stay calm and explain that it's for your whole family's sake, then try to nag her with those questions as politely as possible.

5-1. Then, if things go REALLY well and mom is visibly happy, convince her to go buy a present for Katheryn and openly reconcile with her. This will be the quickest and happiest ending to this.

5-2. If things are still acceptable but doesn't go as well, which means mom is not visibly ready to give Katheryn a present but still gives you the answers anyway, here's another good ending in my opinion: now that you've confronted mom, go confront Katheryn. Calm her down, then do the usual stuff: explain that mom loves her using mom's answers you got earlier, compliment her cuteness etc. etc. When she starts having an understanding expression, they should start reconciling with each other naturally, if not immediately then at least slowly, and the crisis will end.

5-3. If things go badly then,... well,... we both failed. The above points are the tips I thought of when trying to help you but if they ultimately fail then... well, my dearest apologies, but I can't say anything anymore, and I may as well also go cut myself.

Also, this may look like an obvious note (and it may BE an obvious note), but try never to get angry at your mom or Katheryn in the process, or the whole plan may break. Remember: the others may be angry with you and you can work that out, but if you get angry with the others, then you've lost because you lost your mind.

Hope your family crisis ends soon and well!
