== Biography ==
=== 2024-: A Mysterious Arrival ===
Stepping out of the passenger-side of a crashed car at the Dee Valley Bypass with an ID reading "Kitty Draper", "Kitty" made her way to Hollyoaks in January 2024 and applied for a barmaid job at The Dog in the Pond. Following a successful interview she was hired by landlady Diane Hutchinson, but was left nervous when Diane requested ID from her; it soon emerged that "Kitty" was really Ivy Shaw and had been using the ID of the deceased driver. "Kitty" impressed Diane in more ways than one, talking down an enraged Warren Fox in the pub and then supporting her daughter, Rose Lomax, when Rose skived school.
Beau Ramsey was left smitten upon meeting "Kitty" and was unfazed to learn that she was transgender. He upset "Kitty" when he took a photo of her and sent it to his father, as "Kitty" thought that Beau had uploaded the photo to social media. After making up with Beau, "Kitty" moved into the spare room of 1 Stockton Lane at his suggestion. "Kitty" was alarmed when Theresa McQueen, who had been involved in January's pile-up, recognised her at The Dog. In a panic, she threw Theresa out and turned cold towards Beau. After making up with Theresa, "Kitty" softened on Beau and invited him out to dinner, but he turned her down.
