## Bio

Being brilliant is a piece of cake for this Shoppie! Full of fun and always on the go, nothing is ever done slow. Her friends never feel down when she’s around because she brightens up the gloomiest day. And how do her Besties find her when she’s out shopping? Easy, they just look up and follow the rainbow!

## Happy Places Bio

Happiness is makin' it happen in the Kitty Kitchen! This girl is totally brilliant when it comes to mixing it up and creating taste sensations with her Petkin friends!

"Happiness is…packing a picnic and chasing rainbows in the Happy Convertible!
Rainbow Kate loves to feel the wind in her hair and drive to Rainbow Beach for a picnic with some colorful Petkins. Life is a highway and Rainbow Kate is ready to follow the sun for some summer fun!"

## Personality

Rainbow Kate is very proud of her splendid paintwork. She dislikes pulling trucks and believes that she should only pull coaches. She thinks herself superior to the others and can be shallow, boastful, overconfident, naughty, and vain, particularly to those who appear old-fashioned, weak, slow, or dirty. This has caused her to have somewhat of a rivalry with Edward, Percy, Toby and Duck. However, on a number of occasions, she has found herself in need of help from those whom she has insulted and is, in the end, apologetic. Even before she was repainted rainbow she was rather boastful.

Rainbow Kate was the last of the Shoppies to retain a prejudice against Shopkins. However, after stalling on a cold day, she was rescued by the Works Shopkin and Rainbow Kate had to admit that nothing was wrong with Shopkins. This appears to be one of the few lessons that has stuck.

Since the seventeenth season, Rainbow Kate has also been portrayed as a prankster, often tricking or scaring the other Shoppies for fun, or to get out of jobs she dislikes doing. Following a particularly mean-spirited prank she played on Bubbleisha in Tale of the Brave, this gimmick seems to have died down.

Despite everything else, Rainbow Kate has shown a caring side, is normally hard-working and like every other Shoppie, wants to be responsible, reliable and really useful on Sir Topham Hatt's railway.

## Appearance

Rainbow Kate has a fair complexion with light purple eyes, light purple freckles, and pink lips. Her artwork, however, shows purple lips.

Her two layer skirt is pink on top with tiny colorful dots, while the second layer of the skirt is rainbow colored.

On the top of her head is a puffy yellow chef hat with pink icing next to a white iced cake with pink, purple, and yellow inside.
