Katherine "Kate" Sanders is the secondary antagonist in the tv series Lizzie McGuire.
==Biography==
Kate is the most popular girl in Lizzie's school, and is the captain of their school's cheerleading squad. Originally, one of Lizzie and Miranda's best friends, Kate became popular because she got a bra after summer camp was over; as a result of her new-found popularity, Kate becomes Lizzie's enemy. Kate enjoys trying to make Lizzie's life miserable, but Lizzie always manages to outsmart Kate and come out on top. Kate's last name was originally Saunders, but it was eventually changed to Sanders. While Kate was mean to Lizzie in the series, she helps her out and becomes Lizzie's friend again in The Lizzie McGuire Movie. 
In the Season 2 episode Party Over Here, Kate shows a slightly self-conscious side such as when she is more responsible than her cousin named, Amy when the party gets exceedingly chaotic. After it's revealed that Amy used Kate's party to invite all her friends, she calls her mom telling her that she wouldn't be home in time for her party, implying that she is lonely. Even though Kate is popular, she is not truly happy.
In the episode I've Got Rhythmic, it is shown that Kate fails at rhythmic gymnastics, and gets jealous when she sees that Lizzie is extremely good at it (but later in the episode, Lizzie reveals to her parents that she actually hates rhythmic gymnastics and that the only thing she likes about it is that she is better at it than her). It is rather ironic that Kate would fail at something like that considering she is on the cheerleading squad, and that gymnastics, in general, is a huge component of cheerleading. 
It is revealed in The Untitled Stan Jansen Project that Kate's biggest secret (which she revealed to Claire) was that she got held back in Kindergarten, so she is actually a year older than everyone else in their grade (including Lizzie and her friends).
In The Lizzie McGuire Movie, Kate helps Lizzie in her plan to perform at the International Music Video Awards, and they become friends again.
