==Personality==
==Personality==
Kate is able to communicate with [[Pal]], [[Mei Lin Barnes|Mei Lin]], and other animals, toys<sub>,</sub> or babies. Anybody who is older than her and can speak English dismisses it as "baby talk" gibberish, and she and the animals interpret grownups' talk likewise. She enjoys playing in her sandbox and shows remarkable intelligence for her age, despite not being able to communicate with people older than herself. But in one episode she couldn't hear Pal correctly at times. Despite being a year old, she rarely stands up. On certain occasions, she is prone to crying. At one point, she threw a tantrum over wanting a balloon, and Pal ran off and brought her back one in order to cheer her up.
