#about kath

yes yes baby baby Nate please come adopt her she needs it

Little Miss Runaway, truly her solution to every problem is to run away. Usually she runs away to a cheer friend's house for a few days, once she ran away and lived with Sue for a longer while (post baby-gate). In s2 during/after Rumours she runs away to California which... some traumatizing shit happened along the way but she got there, found Jesse, Jesse took her to Roman/Cooper/Ash and they took care of her and then Jesse flew back to Lima with her (which is why he's around in Prom Queen). After that, she moves in with Josh and there's a long, drawn out custody battle, Jesse takes the job at Carmel in s3 so he can stick around and be closer to her through all of it

Her very best friend is Oz Berry, Rachel's younger brother. They met in dance classes when they were three and have been inseparable ever since. They join every club/team/activity together, have been doing voice & dance classes and community theatre together their entire lives, it's very weird for anyone to see Oz alone when Kath runs away (she never runs to his house because she doesn't like Rachel)

Kath is lactose intolerant but never lets that stop her from having dairy, she just lives on lactaid pills, upset stomachs, and regrets

Terri decorated Kath's bedroom when Kath was five, Kath isn’t allowed to redecorate it but has hated it since day one (it's very very pink, Kath does actually like pink but not the way Terri did it)

Kath is allergic to strawberries! She’s also allergic to peanuts (like Terri) which she hates because she loves peanut butter, she can’t have onions in large quantities, and she’s allergic to mustard

(fun fact, the strawberries thing came from Jeremy St James being allergic to strawberries and it turned into a whole thing with @the-witching-ash that all of our Will-kids in various verses, except for Jesse and maybe Joy, are allergic to strawberries)

She is definitely a bit of a fashion girly, but also loves wearing leggings & uggs on her lazy days or bad mental health days

She's named after Kathy Selden (Debbie Reynolds in Singing in the Rain) and Gene Kelly

She loves musicals and while she doesn’t actually like having her dad as a teacher, she’s excited to join the glee club

She starts going by Katherine Kelly in s1 after babygate, legally changes her name when Josh wins the custody battle when she's 16

Broadway dream roles include Katherine Plumber (Newsies), Christine Daae (Phantom), Belle (Beauty and the Beast), and Glinda (Wicked)

One morning this sadness will fossilize And I will forget how to cry I'll keep going to work and you won't see a change Save perhaps a slight gray in my eye I will go jogging routinely Calmly and rhythmically run And when I find that a knife's sticking out of my side I'll pull it out without questioning why And then one warm summer night I'll hear fireworks outside And I'll listen to the memories as they cry, cry, cry

Little Miss Runaway, she spends more time at absolutey anyone else's home than her own (except Oz's because she hates Rachel too much)

She meets Blaine through Jesse in season 1, which is then how Blaine & Oz meet

Kath's allergies include dairy, strawberries, peanuts, mustard, onions, and dust

Her favourite colour is pink but she never wants a pink bedroom again because of her room at Terri & Will's apartment

Total fashionista, one of the few cheerios who won't wear her uniform on non-competition days because, but also loves her leggings & uggs & oversized sweaters

Soprano, also loves a good belting moment

Favourite musicals include Phantom Of The Opera, Wicked, Grease, Chicago, Wizard of Oz, and A Chorus Line

She's no Brittany or Mike, but she is one of the best dancers in glee

She wins prom queen in season 5, either Sam or Blaine is king
