Kim was willful, proactive, and practical — as well as a loyal friend to [[Jenny Everywhere#Kim's friend|Jenny]], whose life she saved on several occasions; ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Parallax (short story)|Parallax]]'') she was matter-of-fact, perhaps even blasé, about the strange happenings which resulted from Jenny's multi-dimensional nature and in which she often found herself involved, including encounters with different incarnations of Jenny than the oen she was used to. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Pit Stop (novel)|Pit Stop]]'') She had a disparaging view of men, and would make joke at their expense even if they happened to be friends of hers. Despite her evident [[vampire|vampirism]], she seemingly refused to refer to herself as one.

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]]'') In trade-off, she had a weakness to sunlight; if exposed to direct, stark sunlight her skin would begin to burn within seconds.

Kim once went out to a bar alongside [[Jenny Everywhere#Kim's friend|Jenny]] and | Kim once went out to a bar alongside [[Jenny Everywhere#Kim's friend|Jenny]] and some of their friends. After Jenny began feeling nauseous, she accompanied Jenny to the bathroom, where they were confronted by [[Jenny Nowhere#Killed by a dinosaur|Jenny Nowhere]], whom this Jenny had never encountered in any form, and who was the one who'd slipped something in Jenny's beer. She revealed herself as originally a version of Jenny Everywhere who had become disconnected from the wider telepathic network. To Everywhere's horror, she viewed it as a liberation which she planned to “share” with her, willing or not. | ||
However, Nowhere had not counted with Kim's special abilities, which meant her tranquiliser drug had no effect on Jenny's friend. Forced to flee through [[shift]]ing, Nowhere was pursued by Everywhere through several landscapes (including in the air ''above'' a forest, in which location Kim's levitation abilities proved lucky). Realising sunlight was Kim's weakness and Kim was Jenny's, Nowhere shifted to the Giza desert at high noon, forcing Everywhere to shift Kim somewhere shady instead of continuing to try to capture Nowhere. | However, Nowhere had not counted with Kim's special abilities, which meant her tranquiliser drug had no effect on Jenny's friend.
