***Kimber Benton*** is one of the main characters of IDW Publishing's *Jem and The Holograms*. She plays the keytar and is one of the backup vocalists for her band Jem and The Holograms as well as being one of the main two songwriters. At the end of the series, she is the girlfriend of Stormer.

## Cartoon Continuity

Kimber was voiced by Cathianne Blore, and first appeared in the 1985 *JEM* episode *The Beginning*. In the cartoon, Kimber was the keyboard/keytar/synthesizer player as well as back-up vocalist and main songwriter for Jem and the Holograms. She was a natural talent when it comes to music and was able to play a variety of instruments. Kimber was also shown to be adept at swimming, diving and surfing. Being the younger sister to Jerrica and youngest of the band members, she was shown to be spontaneous, impulsive and occasionally irresponsible at times. Kimber was shown to have men falling for her, up to the point of her accidentally making dates for the same day and time, much to her dates displeasure. She was most affected by the death of her father and had a hard time coping with it around others, preferring to vent through her diary or to Synergy. During the episode *The Bands Break Up*, at odds with her sister and bandmates, Kimber defected from The Holograms and began performing music with Stormer. They gained status as a talented musical duo with their Album titled, "*Back to Back*" before returning to their respective bands while remaining close friends.

## Personality

Kimber is the youngest member of The Holograms, and the youngest of her 3 sisters. She is spontaneous, full of energy, and very passionate about things that interest her. Being a musician has always been her biggest dream. Kimber loves social media and is rarely seen without her phone in her hand. She has a close relationship with Synergy, who physically reminds her of her late mother, Jacqui Benton (*Viral!, Part One*), and Kimber has the hardest time when the girls are faced with having to deactivate Synergy due to the events of Silica's infection (*Dark Jem, Part Four*).

She is a fan of The Misfits, and meets Stormer (*Showtime, Part Three*). for the first time when The Misfits are signing autographs. They have an on-again, off-again relationship which is put under heavy strain by the rivalry between their bands - but the two love each other deeply.
