'''Kimberly Ann "Kim" Possible''' is a high school student and freelance hero/vigilante. She is unusual not to mention the fact that she not only lacks a secret identity, but also remains on good terms with various law enforcement, government, and military agencies. For the most part, her schoolmates are aware of her work but don't do anything about it unless it somehow affects them directly. At school, Kim is the head of her cheerleading squad ''and'' a straight-A student, rather than as a misunderstood outsider/underdog as typical of the genre.

==Appearance==
Kim is a teenage female of average height, estimated to be 5' 4", with a slim yet athletic build. She has large green eyes and long waist-length red-orange hair and when seen from behind is in the likeness of a heart. She wore her hair in pigtails and had freckles when she was in pre-K, and as a preteen, wore it in one long ponytail and had braces on her teeth.<ref name="ep219">[[A Sitch in Time]]: Past</ref> She has slender fingers and wears size seven shoes.<ref name="ep212">[[Queen Bebe]]</ref> As a tween, she wears a purple long-sleeved shirt with darker purple thigh-length shorts and matching sneakers with white soles, and a black necklace with a bright yellow jewel in the center.
===Clothing===
{{Main|Kim's clothes}}
Kim has five distinct sets of outfits:   
* Civilian
*[[Middleton High School cheerleaders|Cheerleader]]
*Mission
*Situational
*Battlesuit

===='''Civilian'''====
Kim's primary civilian clothes, through her first few years of high school, are a green crop tank top, blue 3/4-length Capri jeans, and a pair of what appear to be plain white canvas tennis or running shoes. She has been shown at certain times to not wear a bra.<ref name="ep212">[[Queen Bebe]]</ref> As the years progress, she begins to wear a wider variety of civilian clothes such as a red short-sleeve sweater, or a yellow tunic top. By her Senior year, she has phased most of her midriff exposing outfits out of her wardrobe. However, by her Graduation<ref name="ep422" />, she went back to wearing a midriff outfit, which consisted of a blue midriff tank top, skirt, and shoes.

===='''Cheerleader Outfit'''====
Kim and the other cheerleaders all wear dark purple cheer-leading outfits with bright orange and golden trim in their Sophomore and Junior years. However, they receive new outfits on two occasions: shortly before Bonnie briefly became squad captain<ref name="ep112">[[Number One]]</ref>—which may have been discontinued due to having an identical color scheme as those worn by West Wakewater High School<ref name="ep222">[[Return to Wannaweep]]</ref>—and in their Senior year<ref name="ep401">[[Ill Suited]]</ref>.

===='''Mission'''====
Most iconic is her traditional mission outfit consisting of a black mock turtleneck crop top, dark gloves with a thin cuff, green cargo pants, a utility belt, and black shoes. Midway during her Senior year, it is replaced with a purple shirt, black pants with a purple line on the sides, grey shoes, and tight grey gloves as her previous gear is discontinued at [[Club Banana]] and [[Smarty Mart]].<ref name="ep408">[[Clothes Minded]]</ref> It is implied that her updated look was initially designed by the [[Fashionistas]], who then refused to actually show it her. Fortunately, Rufus saw it and drew it for Monique to make.

Kim went through a couple interim trial outfits, but none worked out.

===='''Situational'''====
Kim also has several outfits that are either situational, such as her red fleece winter outfit, or limited use, such as her wet-suit, prom dress<ref name="ep305-307">[[So the Drama]]</ref>, and graduation gown.<ref name="ep421">[[Graduation, Part 1]]</ref>

===='''Battle Suit'''====
Starting with the night of Kim's prom and in certain extreme circumstances following, she wears a custom [[Kim's battle suit|battle suit]] designed by Wade. It includes a wide array of features: a self-repairing system, a force-field, muscle and strength enhancements, and gauntlets able to morph into energy-resistant [[wikipedia:Jai alai|jai alai ''cesta'']]-like scoops able to catch and return energy and solid projectiles.<ref name="ep305-307">[[So the Drama]]</ref> Later, it is also equipped with a stealth mode, enabling Kim to become invisible.

==Personality==
[[File:Kim%27s_dramatic_pose.jpg|left|213x213px]]Kim is a confident and assertive teenager whose awareness of her own abilities is reflected well by her motto "I can do anything". Her typical state of mind is to be bright and cheerful, and she has a kind and caring heart which compels her to help others and to put their well-being above her own. However, she can also be very competitive and arrogant in certain situations, especially when others, including Ron, appear to do things better than her.<ref name="ep111">[[Sink or Swim]]</ref>

Her competitive nature and drive for perfection, as well as some of her insecurities, are consistent with a Type A personality. They also lead her to set high standards for herself, and sometimes gave her a tendency to be bossy<ref name="ep">[[Go Team Go]]</ref> and to set standards for others that are too high - as is evident when she attempts to coach her brothers' soccer team<ref name="ep117">[[Coach Possible]]</ref>, or to try and do things herself in order to save others from potential failure or harm.

Despite being a freelance hero, Kim is still a teenage girl and therefore susceptible to most normal teenage insecurities and growing pains. She is occasionally embarrassed by her parents<ref name="ep116">[[Downhill]]</ref>, pouts when she does not get her way and has a strong desire to fit in; the latter of which is shown to be one of her biggest weaknesses as a person. Because of her highly competitive nature, she is often easily manipulated by those she sees as rivals or anyone else who openly challenges her abilities.

In a disastrous first meeting with Agent [[Will Du]] of the [[Global Justice]] Network, he calls Kim an amateur to her face, which sparks a heated rivalry as they try to outdo each other.<ref name="ep112">[[Number One]]</ref> Likewise, Kim's longstanding rivalries with [[Shego]], and fellow cheerleader [[Bonnie Rockwaller]], often lead to rather predictable circumstances. Kim and Shego typically attack each other within seconds of each meeting, fueled by an obsessive desire to overcome the other that Shego admits to more than once. Bonnie also makes no secret of her consistent wish to embarrass or surpass Kim.

Kim's personality traits are most clearly demonstrated when her school is hit by an astrology-like personality guideline fad known as Animology, under which she is classified as being a "Blue Fox", which is defined as "a born leader who unable to resist a challenge; is driven to excel; a perfectionist"<ref name="ep109">[[Animal Attraction]]</ref>. In addition, Kim is drawn towards International Diplomacy, a difficult and extroverted field, during a career fair held at her school.

Kim also had a tendency to be worried about and was frequently fooled by, exterior appearance. As such, she was often overly concerned about her image and the way in which others saw her, sometimes even going so far as to extend these anxieties to others, primarily Ron, even though they did not necessarily feel the same way. Owing to this element of her personality, Kim had a tendency to succumb to peer pressure<ref name="ep104">[[Attack of the Killer Bebes]]</ref>, something she never really overcame until much later, and she was often unable to see beyond first appearances, or deeper than other people's defense mechanisms.

It was this element of her personality which appeared to form the foundations of much of Kim's rivalry with Bonnie, who was similarly competitive and concerned about appearances. It was often through this rivalry that the less desirable elements of Kim's competitive nature were displayed. This was especially obvious when Kim engaged in tit-for-tat revenge and one-upmanship at a cheer camp, where she actively competed purely because she did not want Bonnie to succeed.<ref name="ep222">[[Return to Wannaweep]]</ref> In fact, disagreements between them were often truly petty, and Kim occasionally had to be made aware that she was guilty of either sinking to Bonnie's level,<ref name="ep112">[[Number One]]</ref> or failing to see that Bonnie might be just as or more qualified for some tasks that Kim insisted on taking on herself.<ref name="ep212">[[Queen Bebe]]</ref>

Due to her type A personality, Kim also had a strong tendency to become frustrated, impatient, or insecure when faced with a field in which she did not instantly excel. This tendency has been displayed several times, usually in conjunction with an incident revolving around her social life. This was often made more notable by the fact that these fields are ones in which either the often inept Ron or Kim's sometimes immature brother Jim and Tim excelled. Examples of such fields included video games, cooking, car mechanics, and the duties required of Kim when she worked at Bueno Nacho alongside Ron.<ref name="ep101">[[Bueno Nacho]]</ref>

In terms of dating, Kim tended to be surprisingly uncertain of herself when approaching boys.<ref name="ep113">[[Crush]]</ref> She worried that her reputation as a heroine was too intimidating for most boys<ref name="ep305">[[So the Drama]], Part 1</ref>, was very aware of how overprotective her father could be<ref name="ep213">[[Car Trouble]]</ref>, and even had trouble speaking to boys she liked due to anxiety. She typically needed reassurance from either her mother or a friend before she would ask a boy out.<ref name="ep113">[[Crush]]</ref>

Perhaps the best example of Kim's typical dating experience was her relationship with Josh Mankey, who appeared to be her biggest known crush. Kim was consistently embarrassed in his presence, lacked her usual confidence, and struggled to speak properly to him. Rather than ask him out directly, she instead "accidentally" ran into him as often as possible so that he could ask her out.<ref name="ep223">[[Blush]]</ref> This weak-kneed tendency to sacrifice her usual behavior in favor of more traditional "girly" behavior could be interpreted as an attempt on Kim's part to please the boy in whom she was interested. Or more appropriately, a deep fear of displeasing him that motivated her to change her personality in his presence. Given how much she cared about her appearance, this interpretation was very in-line with her character.

One notable exception to this approach was Kim's aggressive pursuit of [[Hirotaka]], a Japanese student from a secret ninja school. Because he studied martial arts, was extremely popular with girls, and was quite confident, he was also not intimidated by Kim's fame. Although Kim openly admitted she was attracted to him because of his looks<ref name="ep225">[[Exchange]]</ref>, more than likely she also saw him as being capable of handling her often hectic lifestyle, a trait that several boys at her own school lacked.<ref name="ep110">[[All the News]]</ref>

Kim was very protective of those close to her. She was generally quick to defend Ron if anyone insulted him, and would insist on rescuing him herself if he was ever in danger.<ref name="ep201">[[The Ron Factor]]</ref> She became slightly more protective once they began dating, and would not hesitate to make it clear to other girls that Ron was spoken for.<ref name="ep410">[[Big Bother]]</ref> Kim proved just as protective with other boyfriends: she refused to listen to Ron's doubts on her crush Josh Mankey<ref name="ep113">[[Crush]]</ref>, and was willing to test out an experimental battle suit to save her then-boyfriend [[Eric]]. In the latter instance, Dr. Drakken weaponized Kim's weakness towards cute boys with the creation of Eric, a specialized synthrodrone who infiltrated her life and gained her affections, which distracted her from Drakken's schemes.

Kim enjoyed pleasing those around her and was no stranger to keeping herself busy with numerous commitments at one time, no matter how overwhelmed she felt as a result. When Ron asked her why she did not "just say no," Kim replied that she was "just not programmed that way".<ref name="ep212">[[Queen Bebe]]</ref> This was also why she proved unable to turn down a date with [[Brick Flagg]], out of fear that rejection would crush his confidence and ruin his football career.<ref name="ep110">[[All the News]]</ref> However, it should be noted that Kim eventually grew past several of these negative traits, aided largely by her increased maturity and newfound romantic relationship with Ron Stoppable.

[[File:Kim's puppy dog pout.jpg|thumb|The "puppy dog pout"]]
Although Kim was generally reasonably mature in the usual give-and-take with her parents over what she could and could not do, if she really wanted something she was unlikely to get otherwise, she would occasionally use a "puppy-dog pout". It became a running gag, and the pout was also used by others against her. Kim has used it successfully several times, to get her way.

Very often Kim would lecture Ron for his seemingly immature behavior in any given situation, most often concerning change, only to behave just as bad—or worse—when she found herself in a similar situation:
*Ron initially felt threatened by Kim's friendship with Monique, and Kim later became jealous of Ron's friendship with Felix Renton.
*Ron frequently displayed jealousy towards Josh Mankey, and Kim has frequently displayed jealousy towards Yori. Within hours - perhaps only minutes - of meeting her, Kim assumed Yori was a spy for Monkey Fist on the basis of virtually nothing.
*Ron 'freaks' whenever his parents make life-changing decisions without telling him beforehand, and Kim became angry and horrified when her brothers became freshmen at Middleton High and got involved in her first mission involving Camille Leon.
*Kim lectured Ron for freaking out when his parents adopted Hana and moved her into his room without telling him and when he became jealous of Jim and Tim's successful 'Pep Puppies' routine.
*Kim became angry at Ron for using her battle suit to cheat at football, calling him a liar, despite not telling him Wade has him microchipped and employing similarly underhanded methods herself when running for class president against Prince Wally.

Kim was also someone that was very hard to shock, a likely side effect of the unusual situations she regularly faces down. Even her first encounter with aliens face-to-face did not leave her stunned for long. However, she was not utterly immune to being stunned by circumstances. Two notable incidents of this included her first encounter with Chester Yapsbey's mutated cockroaches, and during [[Warhok]]'s attack during her graduation when Ron tapped into his [[Mystical Monkey Power]] to defeat him. Both times saw her frozen and stunned into speechlessness.

==Biography==
===Backstory===
Kim was nervous on her first day of preschool and wanted to stay with her parents. Her mother was pregnant with Jim and Tim then, though Kim believed she would have a sister and wanted to stay with her parents and her unborn sibling. After a few words of courage and comfort from her father, who told her that "anything is possible for a Possible," Kim entered the school. She was placed in the same class as Ron Stoppable, with whom she became best friends. They started celebrating Halloween together from that year onward, doing trick-or-treating every year.

When Kim and Ron were six years old, Ron beamed Arnie Custer with a slingshot, resulting in Kim having to pull Custer off of Ron.

When Kim was eight years old, she and Ron started to attend the Rocket Boosters' Club, which had been newly formed by Kim's father at the Middleton Space Center, to allow him to spend more time with his daughter and share his work with her.

When Bueno Nacho Store #582 opened in Middleton, Kim gave Ron a ride on her bicycle, as he still needed to learn how to ride a two-wheeler bike and wanted to take his trike to a restaurant grand opening.

By her preteen years, she wished to supplement her allowance, so she started her own babysitting business and set up her website: "KimPossible.com," under the slogan, "I can do anything," to advertise her services. Meanwhile, she also tried out for the cheer squad, and despite attempted sabotage by Bonnie Rockwaller, who derisively referred to her as "tin teeth" because of her braces and gave her a seemingly impossible routine, she made the squad. Soon after her website went live, Kim was accidentally contacted by Mr. McHenry, who was trapped in Mr. Paisley's mansion when the security laser grid he installed was activated with the two still in Paisley's vault.

McHenry had been attempting to contact [[Team Impossible]], a "super-secret commando squad," but being forced to type with his foot, he accidentally entered "KimPossible.com" instead of "Impossible.com." Though Kim was initially wary and considered leaving it to the police, with prodding from Ron, she rose to the challenge, and they entered Paisley's mansion to rescue the two men, who were surprised to see a cheerleader saving them.

After the rescue, Kim's fame as a hero grew until she was contacted for help by people worldwide, including governments and royalty, as a matter of daily activity, leading to a long and successful career as a teenage heroine and a success rate that only added to her fame.

At some point before having her braces removed, she kissed Walter Nelson, which resulted in their braces getting interlocked and Ron having to get his mother to drive them both to the orthodontist.

==Abilities==
Kim has been mentioned as having gained a varied and ever-growing skill set throughout her mission work. She is regularly called on to serve as a babysitter, detective, unpaid bounty hunter, espionage agent, and perhaps most often as a legally accepted vigilante. In addition, Kim has experience in a wide variety of fields, including firefighting<ref name="ep113" />, animal conservation/protection<ref name="ep105">[[The New Ron]]</ref><ref name="ep103">[[Monkey Fist Strikes]]</ref>, natural disaster prevention/rescues<ref name="ep113" />, crop dusting<ref name="ep101" />, and hot air ballooning.<ref name="ep117" />

===Athleticism===
Kim is extremely athletic in terms of having peak-human strength, agility, metabolism, and extensive reflexes, which had been honed and perfected through years of cheerleading practice and later on actual mission experience. However, Kim is already remarkably agile even before she becomes a cheerleader.<ref name="ep219"></ref> Years later during Global Justice's research into [[The Ron Factor]], she claims that her genetics rock, and while the validity of that was never verified, her paternal grandmother is equally if not more talented in similar areas<ref name="ep210">[[The Golden Years]]</ref>, and all members of her immediate family have occasionally participated in her missions with notable ease despite no preparation beforehand<ref name="ep104">[[Attack of the Killer Bebes]]</ref><ref name="ep216">[[Mother's Day]]</ref>, most especially her younger brothers.<ref name="ep108">[[The Twin Factor]]</ref><ref name="ep231a">[[Sick Day]]</ref> Regardless of the source, this incredible skill allows Kim to perform death-defying moves like somersaulting between laser beams and rockets with little apparent effort. 

Kim is also a very talented swimmer, which she uses to great effect in many of her missions. She is a member of her school's swim team during her Sophomore year of school<ref name="ep106">[[Mind Games]]</ref>, has swum the English Channel<ref name="ep114" />, and is an accomplished SCUBA diver.<ref name="ep102">[[Tick-Tick-Tick]]</ref><ref name="ep305-307" />

===Master at Martial Arts & Kung Fu===
She was also highly skilled in numerous types and styles of martial arts, knowing sixteen different types of Kung-Fu<ref name="ep221">[[Hidden Talent]]</ref>, including Mantis Kung-Fu.<ref name="ep225">[[Exchange]]</ref> Her skills were aptly demonstrated by the fact that she was consistently able to go toe to toe against villains like [[Shego]], an older and more experienced villainess whose super-enhanced abilities allow her to tear through reinforced concrete with ease.

Despite her frame, Kim is surprisingly strong and is capable of easily hitting someone hard enough to knock them off their feet or even unconscious with a single blow. In addition, Kim is quite exceptionally skilled and learned in many different forms of hand-to-hand combat, both armed and unarmed.

===Fast Learning===
Kim was also a fast learner, able to pick up new skills quickly and adapt to new situations as they arose. Among the many talents that she has demonstrated includes a high level of proficiency in various extreme sports such as hang-gliding, skiing, and rock climbing. She was even able to figure out how to fly a shuttle enough to land it safely simply by observing Fredrick the monkey fly once<ref name="ep114">[[Monkey Ninjas in Space]]</ref>. While on a mission, she also discovered her ability to hit high notes in song, which allowed her to shatter a layer of thick ice.<ref name="ep221">[[Hidden Talent]]</ref>

===Intelligence===
Kim is a naturally intelligent student who maintains a high GPA despite her adventurous lifestyle by using the time she spent traveling to and from missions to study and always makes sure that she hands assignments as early as possible in case she is called away on a mission. She is even able to make time for cheer-leading practice after school. As a result of this diligence, it is only on rare occasions that her grades suffer or that she has problems with school assignments.

Despite her intelligence, however, Kim is the least scientifically-minded member of her family and does not understand many of the terms, phrases, or inventions that her [[James Possible|father]] and [[Jim and Tim Possible|brothers]] build and use regularly. She immediately passes off her brothers' invention of a handheld Silicon Phase Disruptor as a "stupid toy"<ref name="ep108">[[The Twin Factor]]</ref>. She also frequently doubts her brothers' high intelligence, believes their early advancement to high school is the result of a mistake in the records and is truly shocked when she discovered from [[Miss Guide]], Jim and Tim's S.K.I.P program counselor, that it was legitimate.<ref name="ep403">[[Trading Faces]]</ref>

Before graduating, Kim applies for and receives acceptances to nearly every prestigious higher learning institution in the world.<ref name="ep421">[[Graduation, Part 1]]</ref>

==Equipment==
Kim has a variety of gadgets, the most iconic of these being her grappling hook and a special device called a [[Kimmunicator]], a PDA-like device given to her by Wade so that she could maintain contact with him. It was later replaced with a wristwatch-sized and mounted model during her senior year. Both models allowed her not only used to communicate with friends, family, Wade, and others with relative ease but to also receive or search for information as needed. Only blanket jamming could prevent a signal from getting through. Thanks to Wade, the wrist variant also had many additional features packed into it such as a grappling hook, scanner, super-magnet, analyzer, and much more.

[[File:Kim_Possible's_Morpher.jpg|thumb|left|Kim Possible with a new outfit and wrist Kimmunicator.]][[File:Kim's dramatic pose.jpg|thumb|Kim's first unveiling of her new outfit.]]

==Alternate Versions==
Kim's physical appearance has remained static not changing to represent aging. However, several different versions of Kim have been introduced at various points to represent Kim at different ages in her life.

Pre-school Kim was first seen through flashbacks in to Kim and Ron's first Halloween together<ref>[[October 31st]]</ref> and was later seen when she was targeted by a cohort of time traveling villains who sought to destroy her confidence during her first day in pre-school, in order to prevent Present Day Kim from thwarting their plans. Ironically, in an altered timeline that has since been erased, this intervention led to Kim stepping in to fight to save Ron for the first time, bringing about their first meeting outside the classroom and leading to their becoming friends.

Pre-School Kim is very similar to present day Kim, but with the addition of freckles and pigtails. She also lacked the confidence of her present-day counterpart.

Early-teen/late-preteen Kim was also made an appearance. She was introduced when Kim's present-day foes (Drakken, Shego, Monkey Fist, and Duff Kiligan) traveled back through time on a mission to sabotage her first mission. Initially, the villains planned to sabotage the mission in order to crush Kim's spirits and therefore prevent her from ever becoming a teen hero<ref name="ep219" />. After a brief discussion, however, they decided to kill her instead. Early-teen/late-preteen was saved by the intervention of Present Day Kim and Ron.

Due to the destruction of the [[Tempus Simia]], the timeline in which Early-teen/late-preteen appeared was erased, leaving Present Day Kim with no memory of meeting her past self, nor vice-versa. Since her initial appearance, early-teen/late-preteen Kim has appeared in several flashbacks, most notably when she was revealed to be an excellent singer (but unable to hit high notes), and when the events of Kim's first mission were replayed, minus the intervention from the future.

At this point in her life, Kim is shorter and slimmer than her present-day self and minus a bust line, but with the addition of braces, earning her the nickname 'tin teeth' from Bonnie. Pre-teen Kim is always shown with her hair in a ponytail, and her bangs to the side. Her clothes consist of a purple long-sleeved shirt, darker purple shorts, matching shoes with a white sole on the bottom, and a black choker with a round yellow jewel.

An older version of Kim was introduced in an interactive featurette that was included in the DVD of ''A Sitch in Time''. Little was revealed about Kim's older self, except that she was still fighting crime in her 40s, was a member of the PTA, and that she wears a patch over her left eye, ala Nick Fury. Older Kim is also shown wearing a Global Justice uniform similar to that worn by Dr. Director (who coincidentally also has an eye patch, though the reason why remains a mystery as well). As of Season 4, this older Kim has not appeared in the series and her exact place in Kim Possible canon remains uncertain, but the possibility is present.

==Quotes==  
*"So, what's the sitch?"
* "No big."
*"So not the drama."
*"Please and thank you."

==Relationships==
==Family==
===[[James Possible]]===
[[File:James_saving_them_from_an_avalanche_2.PNG|thumb|257x257px|]]
Kim has a close, but diverse, relationship with her father. For much of her teenage years, he treats her as a mature and responsible young lady, expecting her to babysit her younger brothers, instructing her to get a part-time job if she wants expensive new clothes, and accepting her going on dangerous missions without a second thought.

Her father believes that she is skilled enough to stay out of harm's way while on these missions. However, because of the closeness of their relationship, he sometimes forgets that she is not a child anymore and treats her as if she were much younger, failing to see that she does not always enjoy doing the same things that she did when she was little, and he was unable to see when his behavior might embarrass her. His nickname for her is his "Kimmy-Cub", which she sees as a sign of affection unless it is said within earshot of Bonnie. Similarly, because of their close relationship, Kim often finds it hard to tell her father when he embarrasses her, or to explain how she has grown out of things that she used to enjoy, for fear of hurting his feelings.

===[[Ann Possible]]===
Kim's relationship with her mother is given less airtime than her relationship with her father, but it is often scripted when emotional depth or conflict resolution is required, usually in relation to Kim's moments of teenage angst.

While Kim's father is often either oblivious to or uncomfortable with many of the teenage issues that Kim faces throughout the series, Mrs. Possible is much more in tune with her daughter's feelings and frequently acts as an emotional anchor for Kim –helping her to put her feelings into perspective, and reminding her that things are not always as bad as they might seem.

Aside from helping her daughter to battle peer pressure, one of Mrs. Possible's main duties has been to help Kim to get through various issues in her friendship with Ron. Whether Kim was jealous of Ron's new found friendship with Felix, feeling guilty about ditching him in favor of Monique, or was afraid that his eagerness to be accepted was leading him down the path to embarrassment, Mrs. Possible was always there to have a mother-daughter moment and to provide her with sage advice. In "So The Drama", it is shown, that she had been expecting Kim and Ron to become a couple; she advised Kim to take Ron as her date in the junior prom, but when Eric showed up, she went with him. When he came to get Kim, Mrs. Possible looked at the photo of Kim and Ron as kids and looked sad, when it seemed Kim and Ron would not get together. Thankfully, they did.

A running gag with Kim and her mother is that, when Kim calls her for advice, she just happens to be in brain surgery at the moment, and yet she still can talk with Kim despite the obviously delicate procedure. This leaves Kim embarrassed and somewhat disgusted.

===[[Jim and Tim Possible]]===
[[File:1255.jpg|thumb|257x257px|]]
Kim's sister-brother relationship with her younger twin brothers – whom she usually refers to as the Tweebs, for "twin dweebs" – is like most other brother-sister relationships in which there is a notable age gap such as teen and pre-teen.

She often finds Jim and Tim to be juvenile and embarrassing and resents the fact that babysitting them infringes upon her social life. She also frequently becomes angry at them when they invade her privacy, attempt to embarrass her in front of her friends, read her diary, or post sneaked photographs of her on the Internet. Because of this, she becomes somewhat prejudiced about them, telling them off even when they were trying to help, and refusing to see that they were actually geniuses, unwilling to accept their help until she has absolutely no other choice, and referring to at least one of their experimental creations as a stupid toy. However, the device in question, a handheld Silicon Phase Disruptor, was scoffed at by everyone until it proved to be critical to the mission at hand and worked.

Despite her dislike of their actions, Kim loves her brothers and goes out of her way to protect them, even if it means putting her own life on the line to do it, and whenever they prove their value by creating something useful for her, she shows how much she actually cares about them.

===[[Nana Possible]]===
Kim's paternal grandmother is Nana Possible, a retiree. Their Grandmother-granddaughter relationship is given a level of mastery on martial arts, Nana always call her 'Kimberly' and never shortens it.

==Other Relatives==
Kim has several other relatives that have made an appearance.
*[[June]]: Kim's aunt, June, often asked her to look after her cousin, Larry.
*[[Slim Possible]]: Kim seemed very fond of her uncle, Slim Possible.
*[[Joss Possible]]: Joss was very fond of Kim and was eager to spend time with her, she adored Kim to the point of obsession. Kim was at first annoyed by this as she told Wade, Joss overheard Kim's conversation with Wade and then proceeded to run up to her room and lock the door. Kim later came up to Joss's room to apologize and told her "to be herself". Joss then began to admire Ron Kim's best friend and goofy sidekick because he is able to face the odds despite his fears, a courageous quality of a real hero.
*[[Larry]]: Larry is Kim's nerdy and geeky cousin, Kim strongly prefers to not spend time with him because they have absolutely no interests in common but Ron and Rufus consider him "majorly fun" largely because he shares their love of role-playing games.

==Friends and allies==
===[[Ron Stoppable]]===
[[File:Vlcsnap-2012-10-07-19h28m07s175.png|thumb|257x257px|Kim and Ron when they were in Pre-K.]]
Kim has known Ron since their first day at Pre-K, and has been best friends with him ever since. Kim and Ron have a very distinctive relationship of opposites that covers both their personalities and their natural aptitudes. While Kim is a Type A teen, Ron has a Type B personality and is laid-back, ambivalent, and somewhat arbitrary. Equally, Ron does well in all of the areas in which Kim does not such as cooking and resisting peer pressure, and vice versa. Kim and Ron complement each other, and their relationship works well. As they headed into their senior year of high school, they had advanced from simply being best friends to a romantic relationship. By the time of their graduation, they are still together and have each successfully graduated high school.

With his more relaxed attitude toward life, as well as his flexibility and ability to see the good aspects of bad situations, Ron often provides a balance to Kim's ambitious nature and image orientated character. As such, he often encourages her to slow down and keep things in perspective, to be less competitive and not treat everything as a challenge that must be met head-on, and to be less image conscious.



*When Ron had misplaced one of Kim's library books and because of it, her career as a Middleton High School cheerleader was at risk. Hoping to avoid the fallout as he realized he had taken it and lost track of it, Ron began moving through the various lairs that they had fought through to try and locate the book. To this end, he enlisted Wade's assistance and asked him to keep it secret from her. However, as he was scaling a wall on Duff Killigan's castle, Kim called. Ron attempted to deflect her questions by claiming his father was locked in the garage and that he needed to help him before he "ran out of clothes". However, Kim saw through the weak lie and contacted Wade while Ron was being chased by Professor Dementor's mutated plants as Wade's Wadebot was acting as Ron's backup. Wade broke the connection with Kim mid-conversation to focus on helping Ron, at which point Kim was unable to pursue the line of questioning further.
*When Yori arrived in Middleton to ask for Ron's help in locating the Master Sensei, who had been kidnapped by what the Yamanouchi students believed to be Monkey Fist. Ron had been sworn to secrecy about the Yamanouchi Ninja School, and the details of what occurred in his visit to Japan, meaning that he could not fill Kim or Wade in on why he was working with Yori. Ron's string of lies here began as he tried to justify who Yori was (both Kim and Wade knew that she was not from Middleton High) with a varied set of constantly shifting lies until he realized he had dug himself too deep by mentioning Japan and quickly retreated from the conversation. By this point, Kim had figured that something was going on and eventually traced Ron down as he was mid-mission with Yori.

===[[Rufus]]===
[[File:RockAByeRufus.jpg|thumb|257x257px|Kim saves Rufus.]]
Ron's pet naked mole rat, Rufus, is a good friend of Kim's, so much so that Kim could be considered as his second owner.

When Ron first introduced Rufus to Kim after buying him, Kim at first was somewhat disgusted, but quickly grew to respect him when he hotwired a security panel on her first mission. Since then, Rufus has proven his worth to Kim many times over, and Kim is also protective of him, when Ron is unable to. Few examples are that when Kim had Ron to have a haircut, it made him popular, which left Rufus on the sidelines; thus Kim gladly took Rufus with her until Ron returned to being himself. Other example is that when Ron went for a holiday in Paris, he left Rufus for Kim to babysit, and Kim had to protect Rufus from Shego, Duff Killigan and Monkey Fist, when they tried to gain a valuable microchip that Rufus had accidentally swallowed (ending up in Paris without Ron noticing). Here, she showed genuine affection towards her best friend's pet.

===[[Wade]]===
Wade is a super-genius at the same age as Kim's twin brothers who had graduated both High School and College within six months. Wade began running Kim's website at an unspecified point in time between her rescue of Mr. Paisley and the beginning of the series and also provided Kim with the majority of her gadgets. Kim's relationship with Wade is relatively positive and professional, and Wade was willing to help Kim with more petty issues such as finding her 'match' in Animology along with advising her on various missions.

Although Kim never met Wade in person until her final confrontation with Team Impossible, afterward she met with him regularly and also did her best to help him when he was crushing on Monique.

===[[Monique]]===
Kim first met Monique while shopping at her regular [[Club Banana|Club Banana store]], where Monique worked. The two immediately hit it off as they both had similar interests, and Monique became Kim's only real female friend. Monique also became friends with Ron, because like him, she shared interest in pro wrestling and she frequented Bueno Nacho just like Kim and Ron did. Kim acknowledged from this that this was the beginning of a weird friendship, which has endured since.

Monique is the person Kim usually talks about normal girl things, and Monique's advice helps Kim in situations she feels uncomfortable in. Aside from her mother, Monique was the one, who suggested Kim that she should take her chances with Ron in the junior prom, despite Kim feeling awkward of going with only her best friend[18]. In the end, Kim ended up following Monique's advice, and Monique was happy to see when Kim and Ron became a couple.

===[[Tara]]===
Tara and Kim are teammates on the [[Middleton High School]] [[Middleton High School cheerleaders|Cheerleading Squad]]. Though Tara often hangs out around Kim’s rival Bonnie, she and Kim get along. She respects Kim as captain of the team and is shown to sometimes hang out with her. Kim, however, is sometimes annoyed when Tara exaggerates or panicky during a situation. This causes Kim to often reprimand Tara for her behavior and telling her to calm down. Tara is shown to lean on Kim for comfort and support during these instances. This causes Tara to view Kim as something of an older sister-figure.

===[[Felix Renton]]===
Kim first met Felix at Middleton Fair, initially Kim felt the need to be sensitive to Felix's condition thinking it's unfair that she can walk, and he ca not and ended up saying the "positively worst thing possible", but she stopped feeling that overtime. Later on Kim felt jealous by Felix friendship with Ron and even tried joining in on their video games.

===[[Yori]]===
Yori is a Japanese kunoichi (female-ninja) from the Yamanouchi Ninja School, and was the greatest source of jealousy for Kim. Ron first met her at the airport for his trip to Yamanouchi Ninja School, when he was chosen as an exchange student there, due to him wielding the Mystical Monkey Power. Because Ron was sworn to secrecy, he could not tell Kim about Yori, or the school. This is why Kim instantly became jealous, when Yori showed up at Middleton High to enlist Ron's help. The weirdness of the situation was too much for Kim to handle, and she denied of being jealous, even though Monique and Wade could tell she was jealous, because Ron had an attractive female friend she did not know about.

After Kim asked Wade to look into Yori, and because of his discoveries, Kim gave chase to the duo, and eventually caught up with them, blaming Yori for working with Monkey Fist. Ron tried to evade the subject, but Yori told him to tell the truth, realizing she would not give up. After they saved Monkey Fist and Sensei from DNAmy, Kim apologized to Yori, but her jealousy of her did not end there, mainly because Yori was somehow attracted to Ron, yet she claimed she and Ron had a bond of honor.

Sometime after Kim and Ron became a couple, Yori requested Ron's help again with Monkey Fist. Kim came along and since she was not sure if Ron had romantic feelings towards Yori, she demanded he'll give her a full disclosure about their relationship. While stopping Monkey Fist, Kim and Yori became tied up and had to work together in order to succeed, during this time, they finally resolved their differences, and Yori never was angry or jealous towards Kim because of Ron; in truth, she had always believed Ron is Kim's destiny, and she was proven correct. From this moment on, Kim and Yori became friends. In their third and final meeting, when Yamanouchi school had been all but destroyed by Monkey Fist. When Kim and Ron arrived, Yori attacked Kim, thinking she was an enemy, but when they saw they were fighting each other, they immediately stopped and there was no hard feelings of any kind between them.

===The Stoppable Family===
{{Main|Mr. Stoppable}}
{{Main|Mrs. Stoppable}}
{{Main|Hana Stoppable}}
Though it was more common for Ron to visit Kim at the Possible home, Kim was similarly welcome in the Stoppable home. While she was not seen regularly interacting with Ron's parents, they never seemed to mind her presence even when unannounced, or the idea of Ron joining her on potentially dangerous missions. In fact, the only time one of them took notable issue with Kim was when she convinced Ron to reluctantly bring his baby sister Hana on a mission.

However, it was Mr. Stoppable's professional opinion as an actuary that due to Kim's extraordinary abilities, she herself was in no more danger of saving the world than the average student was skateboarding to school. Presumably, he also extended this confidence in Kim to include her keeping Ron safe, because according to his data, it was apparently a miracle that Ron had survived past tenth grade.

==Rivals==
===[[Bonnie Rockwaller]]===
Bonnie and Kim have a highly rivalrous relationship with each other. This includes frequently going to great lengths to get the better of the other. Kim and Bonnie have been archrivals since at least middle school, but it is unknown how long Bonnie has actually known Kim and her best friend though It is likely they met at a fairly young age, since Kim and Ron Stoppable met in Pre-K, and Bonnie had been insulting Ron as early as kindergarten. Kim generally came out on top. Bonnie also frequently put down both Kim and Ron.

At times, the two girls have actually gotten along and worked fairly well together, indicating that they could possibly be friends if they ever moved past their rivalry. Kim gained a better understanding of why Bonnie was so mean to people after visiting her home, as it was strongly implied that Bonnie's sour disposition stemmed from her older sisters Connie and Lonnie being so mean to her.

More than once, Kim has had to put their rivalry aside in order to help Bonnie. Kim has rescued Bonnie from kidnappers[2] and even given up her coveted spot as cheer-leading captain when she realized how much Bonnie had done to improve the squad. Despite Bonnie's failed attempt to later steal Ron from Kim, she was still able to guilt Kim and Ron into helping her find a new boyfriend. Oddly enough, the match Bonnie ended up with was Señor Senior, Junior, who, according to Animology, was also a likely match for Kim, much to her disgust. This would seem to indicate that Kim and Bonnie are more alike than either would care to admit.

==Love Interest and crushes==
===[[Walter Nelson]]===
Walter Nelson is a boy that Kim had a crush on in middle school. At some point, he kissed Kim and their braces locked, leading to an embarrassing trip to the orthodontist to untangle them. Kim warned her pre-teen, pre-kiss, younger self of this while traveling into the past. Ron later recalled that he was the one Kim called for help at the time, and that his mother was the one who drove Kim and Walter to the orthodontist.

===[[Josh Mankey]]===
[[File:Blush_-_Kim_and_Josh.jpg|thumb|246x246px]]
In Seasons 1 and 2, Kim was infatuated with Josh Mankey. Prior to Season 3, over the course of which hints of a potential and later actual romance between Kim and Ron arose, Josh received the most adoration from Kim of all her love interests as he was the main object of her "calf love" affections. While Ron was disapproving of this relationship at first, he later grew to accept it. Kim's infatuation with Josh was revealed to have died down "last semester" in the episode "Emotion Sickness", which allowed the creators of the show room for the coupling of Kim and Ron. Josh was a mellow and nonchalant young man. Some fans opine that Kim and Josh would have been more interesting a pairing than Kim and Ron, due to their social schematics predating Season 3; conversely, many fans opine that the coupling of Kim and Ron was a better choice.

===[[Hirotaka]]===
Kim held interest in Hirotaka, an exchange student from Japan in place of Ron during his trip there, and Hirotaka showed interest in her, or at least in her martial arts abilities, but he was more interested in seeing Kim fight Monique over him than out of any true feelings. He also appears to have been dating Bonnie Rockwaller all along and referred to her as his "Number One Girlfriend" when leaving.

===Bobby Johnson===
Kim mentioned Bobby during an interview, where thanks to a Drakken device, in response to a question of if she was crushing on any one, Kim admitted that she was not sure if she liked him because she was interested in him, or because he had asked out Bonnie first.

===[[Señor Senior, Junior]]===
In "Animal Attraction", Junior begins to nurse a crush on Kim when he finds out that she's his soul mate (according to Animology).

===[[Brick Flagg]]===
Brick thought Kim had a crush on him in "All the News" after Ron misquoted Kim in the school paper as saying that she "thought Brick Flagg was totally hot." Kim was not actually interested in Brick romantically. Brick "dumped" Kim after he thought Kim was "trying too hard", thinking she had staged his kidnapping by Adrena Lynn.

===[[Eric]]===
Eric was a Synthodrone made by Drakken to distract Kim from the plans Drakken had formulated around the time on her Junior Prom. Eric was tall, well-built, attractive, serious and incredibly convincing as a regular human being. His infiltration of Kim's life was so effective he almost kept Kim from getting word of Drakken's scheme via Wade, with only Ron's arrival spoiling it. Ironically, it was mostly because of his involvement that Kim and Ron realized their feelings for each other and became a couple. Eric was killed by Rufus in the ensuing encounter.

===Ron Stoppable===
{{Main|Kim and Ron's relationship}}
[[File:Kim_Possible_and_Ron_Stoppable.jpg|thumb|257x257px|Kim and Ron embracing each other.]]
Originally Kim's goofy best friend and sidekick, over time their friendship became something more until they became a couple at the end of their junior year and into their senior year. Kim and Ron had a very durable close friendship before their romantic involvement in their junior prom. Apparently, most of their classmates, whom up until the week of their sophomore year Spirit Dance believed the pair was dating, seemed to have expected this, and given the cheers when the pair made their entrance, all except Bonnie.

Kim acknowledged that she might have loved Ron when she regained her memory after she had lost it. They were still dating at the start of their Senior scholastic year and stayed together throughout their graduation. The fact that her impending death by the Lorwardian's spurred him to consciously tap into his Mystical Monkey Powers to destroy their adversaries would illustrate the fact that this love is indeed mutual; and that Kim and Ron's relationship will remain.

==Enemies==
===[[Dr. Drakken]]===
Kim and Drakken rarely interact, but when they do, Kim tries to hurt Drakken's ego by reminding him, in various ways, how he lost the last time. Drakken has met the entire Possible clan: her mother<ref name=ep216>[[Mother's Day]]</ref>, reunited with her father<ref name=ep104>[[Attack of the Killer Bebes]]</ref><ref name=ep305-307>[[So the Drama]]</ref>, her brothers<ref name=ep108>[[The Twin Factor]]</ref>, and even her extended family<ref name=ep229>[[Showdown at the Crooked D]]</ref><ref name=ep210>[[The Golden Years]]</ref>.

Although Drakken and Kim are arch-enemies, Kim never really fights him directly, as Shego is the one who does all the fighting, as Drakken is a mad scientist, not a combat fighter.

Strange interactions between them include Kim saving Drakken's life and teaming up with each other<ref name=ep304>[[Bad Boy]]</ref><ref name=ep421>[[Graduation, Part 1]]</ref><ref name=ep422>[[Graduation, Part 2]]</ref>, and even celebrating Christmas with her immediate family<ref name=ep215>[[A Very Possible Christmas]]</ref>.

In the series finale<ref name=ep421>[[Graduation, Part 1]]</ref><ref name=ep422>[[Graduation, Part 2]]</ref>, when Drakken and Kim both got abducted by Warmonga and Warhok's spaceship, they worked together, alongside Ron and Shego, to get themselves back home to earth and stop the alien warriors from conquering it.

===[[Shego]]===
[[File:ES_-_Kim_fighting_Shego.jpg|thumb|229x229px|Kim and Shego fighting.]]
Kim and Shego's many meetings usually result in fisticuffs and brawls. However, unlike Kim's rivalry with Bonnie, Kim and Shego are more professional in their interaction with each other—despite Shego's almost playful nicknames for Kim, such such as 'Kimmie', 'Princess', 'Cupcake', and 'Pumpkin'—and Kim is more comfortable trading punches with Shego than dealing with Bonnie's barbed and acrimonious comments. Her rivalry has proven to have some sense of honor, as Shego respects Kim as an adversary, and desires to be the only one to defeat her. This has reached the point of saving Kim's life twice.

Despite being enemies, they both have a number of mutual interests and have a lot in common. Shego and Kim had even managed to become friends when Shego was temporarily turned good to the point Kim saw Shego as the older sister she never had, until she was accidentally turned back to evil by Ron.

===[[Gill]]===
Gill lured Kim and the other cheerleaders to Camp Wannaweep in order to exact revenge on Ron, whom he blamed for his mutation. Though he did not bear Kim or the other cheerleaders any ill will, Gill still sought to turn them all into mutants like him and enjoyed it. To do this, he trapped Kim and the others in his green slime, which overtime would transform them into mutants like him. While entrapped Kim offered to help cure Gill with help from the scientists they knew.

Gill, however, refused, since science turned him into a mutant to begin with. Thankfully, Gill was defeated by Ron before Kim developed any mutations. When Gill was made human again and returned to Camp Wannaweep for the cheer completion, Kim was among those who believed he had changed for the better and grew angry at Ron for thinking otherwise. Ron was proven correct however, when Gill re-mutated himself and once again started turning the campers into mutants. Working together with Bonnie, Kim was able to capture Gill leading to his second arrest.

===[[Monkey Fist]]===
Although Monkey Fist is considered Ron's arch-enemy, he considers Kim a more worthy opponent. At first, Kim did not even consider the possibility he would be a bad guy, but when she saw her error, Monkey Fist became one of Kim's more frequent enemies. Just like Kim and Shego respect each other as opponents, Monkey Fist has also a degree of respect towards Kim, even though she does not wield the Mystical Monkey Power.

*Kim's initial character design was an athletic blonde. As the design developed the creators were unhappy that her design was so unrealistic. Therefore, they decided to start over and make her look like a real girl, who is pretty and athletic, but not a bombshell.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://izi.br.de/english/publication/televizion/21_2008_E/schooley_eng.pdf|title=“Kim Possible.

*In chronological order, Kim has the first line in the series: "It's criminal."

That's my job!"<ref name="ep405">[[Mad Dogs and Aliens]]</ref>.
*Kim and Ron are portrayed as contrasts to one another. Kim is referred to as "the girl who can do anything", being able to perform feats no normal person can while Ron is portrayed as immature and idiotistic, and incapable. Despite all this, Kim has been shown to have limits in what she can do and Ron has been shown to excel in areas where Kim fail. Kim struggled to work a minimum wage job when she became a Bueno Nacho employee while Ron did so well he got promoted to manager. When they took Home Economics together, Ron is shown to be a talented cook, turning his school into what Steve Barkin called a "world class restaurant" while Kim had to do the dirty work for Ron. In such situations, Kim and Ron's roles switch, with Kim being the sidekick to Ron
*The role was originally offered to actress Anneliese van der Pol, who turned it down in favor of co-starring as Chelsea Daniels in the Disney Channel Original Series That's So Raven.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Possible_(character)#:~:text=Kim%20is%20voiced%20by%20American,Original%20Series%20That's%20so%20Raven.|title=Kim Possible (character) Voice|website=Wikipedia|date=}}</ref>

==Behind the Scenes==
===Voiced By===
Kim is voiced by [[Christy Carlson Romano]], who is best known for playing Ren Stevens in Disney Channel's ''Even Stevens'', in all four seasons. While [[Cast list|Dakota Fanning]] who was famous for playing Lucy Diamond Dawson in the 2001 American drama film ''I Am Sam'', provided the voice for preschool Kim which was only in the Part 2- Past episode of "A Sitch in Time".

===Age===
Kim's age has been debated by fans because nothing has been stated that she was any specific age other than 'high school' age, roughly 14 to 18 years of age. Specifically, Kim is a sophomore at the start of season 1 and a senior by the start of season 4. In the Season 2 episode "[[Car Trouble]]," Kim is stated as old enough to get a driver's license, which in most USA states is 16 years of age. However, one can usually take drivers ed classes at the age of 15. Kim also had mentioned that Ron had to take 12 years to kiss her in "[[Homecoming Upset]]" which indicates that she was 16 as of either "[[Emotion Sickness]]" or "[[So the Drama]]" depending upon which kiss she is referring to there, seeing as how she met Ron when they were only 4 years of age. As she was graduating from high school and considering college acceptance letters in the series finale "Graduation" would likely put her just shy of or recently turned 18. During the episode "[[Hidden Talent]]", Wade constructs a class ring with a mini Kimmunicator inside of it. If a legit class ring—it was too early for class rings to be available—the green gemstone in the setting suggests Kim's birth month could be either May or August, as traditional class rings in the United States are usually adorned with the wearer's birthstone.

Ron and Kim were first introduced to the freelance hero business when reclusive Upperton millionaire, Mr. Paisley, became trapped in his own vault. His associate, Mr. McHenry, attempted to contact Team Impossible, a group of heroes for hire, but accidentally added a K into the URL, and as a result contact Kim Possible instead. Based on the period in which Kim wore braces and that this event was approximately 2 years prior to the start of her adventuring. In ''A Sitch in Time'', during this period, showed Ron, Kim, Bonnie appeared about 12 or 13 years old in appearance. Kim also was shown to have braces in her backflash in [[Hidden Talent]], when she could not hit the high notes. Ron also referred to this time period as being a preteen, around the time of their first mission or getting Rufus, who he bought the day before their first mission.

===Home State===
The location of Kim's hometown of Middleton is often a point of debate, as there are two possibilities on where it can be located.

The first possibility indicates that it could be located in Colorado, as evidenced by the episode "The New Ron," in which Senor Senior Sr. states that he plans a missile strike on her "hometown", and the map shows Colorado as the target area. By which, one could transpose Middleton for the location of the actual city of Littleton. Also, in "A Sitch in Time: Present" Ron states that Norway is "9 hours ahead or in front of" Middleton and Colorado would fit into that timezone.

The second possibility could be northern West Virginia, as evidenced in the episode "[[Downhill]]," when Kim asks Wade for alleged sightings of a snow beast that Ron and Barkin are looking for, the map shows an area in northern West Virginia as a target area.

Although Colorado is the more commonly accepted answer, there has been no confirmation as to the actual home state.

===Appearances in Other Media===
*Feature Films  
**Kim made a cameo on ''The Santa Clause 2'' in a poster.
**Kim Possible is the protagonist of the live-action movie, portrayed by Sadie Stanley in her film debut. Unlike her animated counterpart, this version of Kim is depicted as a jealous attention-seeker who cares more about validation than actually saving the world, and is far more emotionally vulnerable, which is evident in how she is often doubting herself and crying many times in the film ever since Athena became more popular than her. The film is a reboot of the series, in which Kim begins her first year at Middleton High School and must navigate an intimidating new social hierarchy. She is ready to tackle the challenge head-on, just as she has with everything else in life, but her confidence is shaken when she faces roadblocks at every turn—getting lost in the confusing hallways, being late to class and facing rejection during soccer tryouts from her frenemy, Bonnie. Kim's day starts to turn around when she and Ron meet and befriend Athena, who becomes the newest member of Team Possible.  Unfortunately for Kim, Athena quickly proved to be far superior to Kim herself, so much to the point that she even gets pushed aside by the entire school in favor of Athena, which eventually causes Kim to have an emotional breakdown. Later on, Drakken kidnaps Athena, where it is revealed that Athena is a gynoid built by Drakken specifically just to demotivate and humiliate Kim into a total weakling. Kim then realizes this truth as well.  As Kim short-circuits the transfer machine, Dr. Drakken is turned into a pre-adolescent version of himself. Despite Kim's insistence that she leaves with them and save herself, Athena stays behind to turn off the now-unstable machine. The lair explodes and Athena is presumed killed but it is revealed that she has survived the explosion but her robotic parts are scattered. Kim and Ron take her home to be repaired and programmed to be a hero alongside themselves as they try to go back to their normal lives. As they go back to high school, Kim, Ron, and [[Athena]] form a martial arts club with the rest of the class joining, except Bonnie who is infuriated as she walks away humiliated.
*Shows  
**Kim was a guest star on the ''Lilo & Stitch'' episode "Rufus". She was called by Pleakley after Stitch was captured by Dr. Drakken. She and Lilo were not on friendly terms until they realized that they would have to work together to stop Dr. Drakken. Kim went out to find Drakken's secret base and rescue Stitch, however, she gets sucked into a current ("People Eater") and also taken hostage. Eventually, Stitch and Kim are rescued from their prison by Lilo and [[Rufus]]. Everyone then manages to escape the underwater base. Later, Lilo teaches Kim how to dance the hula, and everyone has a good time together.
**In the ''[[wikipedia:Fillmore!|<u>Fillmore!</u>]]'' episode, "Codename: Electric Haircut", Kim Possible makes a cameo among the students in the lunchroom, along with fellow Disney character Ashley Spinelli from Recess.
**Kim had a cameo appearance on the ''Phineas and Ferb'' [[w:c:phineasandferb:Spot the Diff|Spot the Diff]] episode "Lawn Gnome Beach Party of Error". She is shown fighting with [[w:c:phineasandferb:Perry the Platypus|Perry the Platypus]] and [[w:c:phineasandferb:Heinz Doofenshmirtz|Heinz Doofenshmirtz]] in her Season 4 outfit. She is the only non-P&F character to be added to an episode. Given that Kim has only appeared in certain airings of the episode, it is likely that this was an edit.
