She possessed a mysterious ability to get through solid doors and to appear behind people without warnings, which [[Jenny Everywhere#Kim's friend|Jenny]] did not fully understand; she confirmed to Jenny, at any rate, that it was not in any way comparable to Jenny's [[Shift|“dimensional shenanigans”]], suggesting it was probably not mere teleportation.

When [[Genevieve, Princess of Everywhere]] visited Jenny and Kim's apartment, it was Kim who answered the door, as her Jenny was taking a shower at the time. Unimpressed with the medieval, magical “Jenny”, she approached the situation with curt practicality, translating the Princess's talk of “waylaid dream spinners” into the realisation that she had left her interdimensional vehicle unattended in the nearby parking lot. Kim helped [[Professor Awesome]] repair the device, and, after Genevieve repaid him with a large gold coin, she offered to help Eric translate that gold into modern money and to take him to the hardware store so that he could spend these “wages” on new equipment and parts. She explained that she was already all set to sell some gold, as she had to make something of a chest of pirate gold Jenny had brought back from a recent adventure. Before they could do so, an [[Angel]] appeared with much fracas in the very same parking lot, heralding yet another crazy adventure.

One day, after [[Professor Awesome|Eric]] came home from school, he dropped in on Kim and [[Jenny Everywhere#Kim's friend|Jenny]], feeling down about a row he'd had with a girl in his class, [[Judy (Misunderstandings)|Judy]], which his mother was “being weird” about. Coming to the incorrect conclusion that Eric had taken a romantic interest in Judy and been disappointed, she tried to give him a rambling collection of dating advice, helped by Jenny. Eventually, the misunderstanding became clear, and a somewhat mortified Kim offered to move on to helping Eric with his homework. Eric was mildly reluctant to put in the work for his math homework, not seeing what the point of learning to use a side-rule was when he had four calculator apps on his phone, but he eventually agreed, especially asking Kim to help him understand “how to do exponents on the log scale”.
