* S4
* S1-3

**Kitty Scanner** is a main character in *Kindi Kids* and *The Really Kindi Kids*.

## Biography

At 16-years-old (15-years-old before Season 3), Kitty Scanner is the third oldest child of the Kindi Kids, and the middle child of Beary Chill's five older kids. She is a junior (a sophomore in Seasons 1-2) at Aberdale High School with her kids Bunny Cart and Rainbow Kate.

In "Time Trap!", Kitty Scanner and her siblings altered history, causing their parents to decide not to have any kids in the future. As a result, Kitty Scanner got deleted out of existence, although she returned when Peppa-Mint and Apple Blossom prevented this timeline alteration.

### Early life

When she was a baby, Kitty Scanner enjoyed playing a guitar and The Friendship Chair's cowbell. At the age of one, she had a habit of crying very loudly, she became a big kid when Rainbow Kate was born. When Kitty Scanner was around two or three, she was entertained by the infant Rainbow Kate's sock puppet show, and at age four, she owned a Bongo which she played. Kitty Scanner became the middle child when Summer Peaches was born. At around age four or five, Kitty Scanner would play with her baby fridge Beary Chill and (along with their other kids) cheer her up when she cried.

At some point in her childhood, Kitty Scanner owned an Orange Juice puppet and often did puppet shows with Rainbow Kate.

Kitty Scanner attended Aberdale Middle School with Cindy Pops, Bunny Cart and Rainbow Kate where she was served inedible meals from Chef Pat. A week after this, Kitty Scanner resorted to eating in the school's band room for her lunch periods.

Her passion for rock music developed when she was in seventh grade. She was still trying to find her own calling at the time. She went to her first concert, and witnessed the lead performer, Orange Juice, on stage singing, and calling out to her. She took the stage with Orange Juice and suddenly found out that the world of rock was where she was meant to be and that it was her destiny. Since that day, she has viewed Orange Juice as her hero, because he gave her the inspiration to rock on.

## Personality

Kitty Scanner is very happy, wild, caring, and easily the loudest sibling of the entire family. What she likes most is singing, playing musical instruments, and being with her family.

Before she became interested in rock music, Kitty Scanner was a shy, gentle and classy girly girl. After her first concert, she developed an interest in rock music. She is a big fan of several rock groups, and her dream is to become a rockstar. She owns and plays both acoustic and electric guitars, with which she has proved to be a very good guitarist. Her skills aren't limited to just the guitar though. She also plays the drums, as well as other instruments, as seen throughout the series, like the violin in "Overnight Success". She sometimes talks with a fake British accent, especially when she listens to music; something that her siblings consider to be an annoying habit.

Most of the time, she can be found practicing with her guitar or listening to rock music. She sometimes gets angry and threatening with her fists. However, she mostly uses the vibration sounds of her guitar as a weapon to harm someone when she gets upset.

She will get upset if someone turns off her music, and in some cases, she will get agitated by her siblings. She sometimes gets downhearted when her family isn't with her, or when she upsets her siblings.

Kitty Scanner has displayed romantic interest in her female classmate Kitty Cash Register in Season 2. Subsequent episodes depict Kitty Scanner as having entered a romantic relationship with Kitty Cash Register. Kitty Scanner's siblings are aware that Kitty Cash Register is a girl, and Cindy Pops considers it sweet that Kitty Cash Register and Kitty Scanner exchange guitar picks. In the episode "Racing Hearts", Kitty Scanner and Kitty Cash Register spent a whole day participating in a citywide scavenger hunt together, but to her and Kitty Cash Register's disappointment, they don't have that many things in common, however at the end of the episode they agree that while they don't have much in common, they can still discover new things about each other.

## Appearance

Kitty Scanner is slightly taller than Rainbow Kate, but shorter than Bunny Cart. She is a purple checkout scanner with a cat snout and cat ears.

Her original design showed her with a black shirt, red skirt, and white boots, before her color scheme was finalized.

In live-action media, her outfit also contains fishnet sleeves. Her boots also go up to her ankles as opposed to her knees, and she has visible black socks. In *The Really Kindi Kids*, she wears purple nail polish, and her shirt has flowers around the skull.

Her nightwear consists of a knee-long purple gown with a skull on it, and matching slippers.

For swimwear, she wears her signature shirt with matching bikini bottoms. Alternatively, she also wears a purple Hawaiian shirt and shorts.

Before becoming a rocker, she had a completely different wardrobe: a light purple shirt, white earrings, a lavender square-patterned skirt similar to the one she currently wears, white socks with blue stripes worn high and black Mary Jane shoes. She also had longer hair that went down to her shoulders and extra eyelashes.

### Guitar

Kitty Scanner's signature electric guitar has a purple color scheme, matching her outfit, and it also comes with a plectrum in the same color. As seen in "Charades", she can plug it into numerous amps.

It seems to be a hybrid of a Gibson Firebird, or Epiphone Explorer (with their iconic slanted body), and a Gibson V-Factor (with its iconic inward indent), resulting in a slanted 'X' body.

In her first podcast, she mentions that it is a *Logan V-80 Shredder*, and that she got it for her tenth birthday.

## Alternate Versions and Alter Egos

### Rose Scanner

In the alternate dimension of the episode "One of the Boys", where Beary Chill has brothers, instead of kids, Kitty Scanner is a boy named Rose Scanner. Like his female counterpart, Rose Scanner is an aspiring rocker; however, he is shown to be rude and abrasive toward Beary Chill, which completely contradicts how Kitty Scanner is very caring towards Beary Chill, as he uses her head for cleaning the toilet. It is also mentioned that he flushed Bun-Bun down the toilet.

However, in the "dimension" where the Kindi Kids consist of one boy and ten boys, Rose Scanner's shown to be very caring and protective towards his brother, Bory Chill (Beary Chill's male counterpart). Rose Scanner eventually turns out to be a product of Beary Chill's imagination as the whole adventure was revealed to be a dream, and Beary Chill wakes up from it at the end of the episode.

### Night Club

In the mini-comic "Deuces Wild!" and its animated adaptation, Kitty Scanner interprets the superheroine called Night Club, who is also one of Ace Savvy's sidekicks. She uses an electric guitar, that has a club as the head, with which she can produce powerful shock waves, and a jetpack to fly. In the comic, she is summoned by Savvy (played by Beary Chill) alongside the rest of Savvy's deck (played by the rest of her kids) to help him and One-Eyed Jack (played by Pickup Pup) to defeat the gas monster. After they defeat it, they prepared to fight against a garbage monster. This later turned out to all be in Beary Chill's mind, and in reality the kids were changing Apple Blossom's diaper and taking the trash out.

Night Club made another appearance in "Pulp Friction", in the comic Beary Chill was writing for the Ace Savvy contest. In that appearance, she used her loud music to knock back the thugs into a hole dug by the Eight of Spades.

In "Kings of the Con", Kitty Scanner goes to an Ace Savvy convention cosplaying as the Night Club.

The Night Club wears white face paint with club symbols painted around her eyes. She also wears black gloves, a lilac purple leotard, black tights, boots like Kitty Scanner's normal ones but higher, and a jetpack. Her name comes from the club suit in a deck of cards, and the fact that she likes to party like one does at a nightclub.

### Barbara

**Barbara** is the one of the rabbit kids, and the rabbit version of Kitty Scanner.

Like Kitty Scanner, she wears purple, but unlike Kitty Scanner, it's a dress with a dark purple bodice and light purple skirt and collar. Barbara also doesn't wear any earrings, belt, or boots.

Barbara also plays the guitar like Kitty Scanner, although she was only seen playing an acoustic guitar, instead of an electric one.

### The Rock God

**The Rock God** is a version of Kitty Scanner she imagines in the story the Kindi Kids were making up in "A Dark and Story Night".

The Rock God looks exactly like Kitty Scanner, only much larger, with sharper teeth, and wearing a different outfit. Her outfit consists of a Viking's helmet, a nose ring, a black tank top with a pink lightning bolt, a black necklace, a belt with a skull-shaped buckle, a pink skirt, two pink studded bracelets, and a lightning-shaped earring.

As her name suggests, she is a goddess, and she sits on a pink cloud. Like Kitty Scanner, the Rock God likes to play the electric guitar, but unlike Kitty Scanner, she likes to play the strange hybrid instrument that Rainbow Kate thought up.

In the story, the Rock God was playing her guitar, and it had one of the shards of the crystal that the protagonists were searching for. Princess DeMarsha (Marsha Mello's alter ego) made a deal with her to trade the guitar for a different instrument, and so they gave her an instrument that was a hybrid of many instruments they found growing on a tree.

### Kitty Scanner Beast Head

In 10 Headed Beast, she and the rest of the kids are represented as a hydra.
