Kate Alen is a fictional character who debuted in the 1998 Nintendo 64 title F-Zero X, where she was one of the many unlockable new racers. 
Within the F-Zero series, Kate Alen is a notable performer, a talent of which she acquired from her famous family. With both of her parents having been recording artists and being in a band with her ten brothers called the Alen Eleven, it was expected of Kate when she turned 21 to go solo. 
Eventually, Kate grew bored with her mega popstar lifestyle, even with the immense amount of popularity that she had acquired across the universe.
It wasn't until she was asked to perform at the Opening Ceremonies for the latest F-Zero Grand Prix that she realized she wanted to race. Getting a new machine, Kate and her Super Piranha have both become a mainstay at the Grand Prix, with Kate joining the many racers becoming hopeful that she can win the Grand Prix.
