In Reality Z-25 31-H, Kimberly (PROSE: Kate Five Extended Bio) or Kimberley (COMIC: Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 4) Jones, sometimes nicknamed Kimmy and later known as Emerald Valkyrie, was the twin sister of Kate Five. The two were very close as children but drifted apart after high school.
Description
Physical appearance
As her twin sister, Kimberly looked very similar to Kate Five. However, she kept her hair long and curly, and allowed it to retain its natural brown colour instead of dying it black as Kate took to doing in her teens. (PROSE: Kate Five Extended Bio) Her wardrobe was associated with the colour green, as made most obvious by her “Emerald Valkyrie” power armour. When she activated it, her eyes, normally blue, also glowed green. (COMIC: Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 4)
Personality
Kimberley was a somewhat vain individual, rebelling against a perceived favouritism shown by her parents towards her sister, and a lifetime of jealously. She was cunning and manipulative, but with a tendency to underestimate her opponent. (COMIC: Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 4)
Powers & abilities
Like her twin sister, Kimberly was “gifted” both physically and intellectually, and pursued a higher education than prior generations of the Jones family. (PROSE: Kate Five Extended Bio) She was born with a telepathic link to Kate, which allowed her to read Kate's thoughts, though not the other way around, even across an ocean, and to feel how close or far away she was. Her scientific research allowed her to construct a “power suit” which she could summon onto herself at will, and which boosted her strength, allowing her to go head to head with the biologically-enhanced Kate Five. (COMIC: Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 4)
Biography
Early life
Kimberly and Kate were born in Cardiff at the Prince of Wales Hospital on April 1st, 1992. The twins were very close as children, providing each other with the emotional closeness they needed when their parents Dai Jones and Ruth Jones, who were cold and distant, though no worse, failed to give it to them. (PROSE: Kate Five Extended Bio) Kimberley felt that their parents favoured Kate, notably driving her to sports practice and the like while leaving her to struggle on her own with her science projects.
Their bond was strengthened by the fact that they had been born with a telepathic link, allowing Kimberley to read Kate's thoughts, though not the other way around. Throughout their childhood, this made it impossible for Kate to ever get the drop on Kimmy or otherwise conceal anything from her. (COMIC: Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 4)
Drifting apart from Kate
At some point, Kimberley slept with Kate's boyfriend Danny, for which Kate bore her a grudge, although the incident did not in itself cause them to fall out completely. (COMIC: Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 4) They eventually parted ways when Kim moved to Washington D.C. to study “Advanced Robotics and Cybernetics” while Kate stayed in Cardiff to study chemistry at Cardiff University. Much to Kate's displeasure, the two failed to really keep in touch over the long distance. (PROSE: Kate Five Extended Bio) Jealous of Kate's career as a superhero, Kimberley began working on an emerald-coloured power-suit that would grant her superstrength similar to the one induced in Kate as part of Project Five. (COMIC: Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 4)
Abducting Kate
By 2014, Kate reflected that she had not thought of Kim in a long time until the six months that separated her possession by the Symbiote and her reemergence in Angel Falls. (COMIC: Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 2) Kimberley, on the other hand, had felt Kate being possessed by the Symbiote, and observed her further misadventures. After Kate was arrested in Angel Falls and then declared legally dead she was being flown back to the U.K., Kimberley managed to get a hold of the “body”, who was not actually quite dead. She cared for the comatose Kate for weeks, not just out of sisterly loyalty but mostly to study the symbiote to improve her own power-suit. Eventually, Kate awoke to Kimberley taunting her with the claim that her every evil act under the Symbiote's influence had been a reflection of her own darker desires rather than an exogenous evil.
The following night, unbeknownst to Kimberley, Kate managed to contact a fragment of the Symbiote's consciousness which had been left in her mind despite most of its being having been rendered inert and separated from her. Breaking out of the vat of healing fluid, Kate reabosrbed the Symbiote's inert mass, bonding with it at a deeper level than before in exchange for a promise of a more equal partnership between their minds. She ambushed Kimberley the following morning, revealing, to Kimberley's shock, that she had learned to spoof their mind-link to send Kimberley erroneous information about her strategies. Despite Kimberley unveiling her emerald-coloured power suit, the Symbiote-possessed Kate gained the upper hand and began forcing herself on Kimberley. However, too late for the attacker(s) to retreat, Kimberley revealed that she'd actually goaded her into it on purpose in order to draw symbiote genetic material from them.
