Kim was used to bare-handed fighting. Although she never called herself one, she had abilities consistent with being a [[vampire]], including immunity to ordinary tranquiliser drugs, superhuman physical strength (sufficient to kill a dinosaur bare-handed), and even such powers as the ability to levitate ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Parallax (short story)|Parallax]]'') and to turn into a swarm of bats.

([[PROSE]]: ''[[Camera Shy (short story)|Camera Shy]]'') She normally slept during the day, although she could be awakened from her catatonic sleep in case of an emergency by dribbling some blood into her mouth. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Absquatulation of Jenny Everywhere (short story)|The Absquatulation of Jenny Everywhere]]'') She sometimes displayed a weakness to sunlight; if exposed to direct, stark sunlight her skin would begin to burn within seconds.

Drinking the blood of a given individual would allow Kim to sense their location for a little while afterwards. Drinking Jenny Everywhere's blood gave her a temporary connection not just to the Jenny she'd drunk from, but all other Jennies in [[the Multiverse]], and seemed to also temporarily give her [[shift]]ing powers. Normally, she had none. However, Jenny did tell her about a few “backdoors out of the universe” just in case, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Absquatulation of Jenny Everywhere (short story)|The Absquatulation of Jenny Everywhere]]'') and 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.

Kim had some knowledge of mathematics, feeling confident that he could help [[Professor Awesome#Kim and Jenny's neighbour|Eric]] learn “how to do exponents on the log scale” of a slide rule. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Misunderstandings (short story)|Misunderstandings]]'') She also had enough knowledge to “snicker” at the math-based [[April Fools' Day]] joke whereby the 10 on [[David Lowe]]'s apartment door was replaced by an {{w|Aleph number|aleph-null}}.

When [[David Lowe|David]] informed her that 50-year-old [[Morrie Greenberg]] had a romantic interest in her, Kim answered that he was “too young” for her.

([[PROSE]]: ''[[Pit Stop (novel)|Pit Stop]]'') David also pointed out to [[Professor Awesome#Kim and Jenny's neighbour|Eric]] that the secret bottle of Jenny's blood she kept in a hidden cupboard in her apartment was in an old, pre-modern style, sealed with wax by hand.

At some point, a “long time ago”, Kim lived together with many other women. She attempted to flirt with many of them, progressively learning that taboo aside, not all women were actually sexually interested in other women, in contrast to what she'd previously assumed. She learned to deal with rejection “gracefully”. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Misunderstandings (short story)|Misunderstandings]]'') | At some point, a “long time ago”, Kim lived together with many other women.

=== Friendship with Jenny Everywhere === | |||
At some point, Kim met and befriended [[Jenny Everywhere#Kim's friend|a version]] of [[Jenny Everywhere]]. Jenny trusted her enough to eventually give her a bottle of her blood for use in emergencies. Kim had cause to use it once, finding the experience extremely overwhelming; she was glad when her temporary Jenny powers subsided, and swore never to do it again, although she still kept the sealed bottle in a safe place in case of an emergency. Also in case of emergencies, Jenny told Kim about a few ways to leave the universe if it became necessary.
