Kim is tall, lean, and powerful. She has large green eyes and long, thick orange hair that falls to her shoulders and is formed like a heart when seen from behind. When she was in pre-K, she wore her hair in pigtails with a blue outfit, and as a preteen, she wore it in one long ponytail with braces on her teeth. As an adult, she wears it in a bun at the back of her head. Her character is strong, brave, and confident. She doesn't let her family situation or her physical limitations hold her back from doing anything she sets out to do. And she always succeeds in saving the day! Although she was born in South Korea and raised in Florida, the makers of the Disney movie Kim Possible wanted to show that she had been created by someone who was born in China and raised in Canada. They said this in the interviews before the movie came out in 2007. In fact, they said this about all the characters in the movie: All of them were created by people who were born in different countries and raised in other places too. This is because Hollywood movies are usually based on popular comics or novels, and many authors will use literary devices to express ideas beyond what's on the page. For example, an author might use irony to suggest that something is wrong but not say exactly what it is (see chapter 9). Or they might describe someone's appearance to give away their personality type (see chapter 8).
