Kate Messner is the principal's daughter. She's a sophomore and is apart of the A/V Club.

She dated Luke O'Neil at first, but she slowly realises she's in love with Emaline. She does not admit out loud that she is lesbian, because she is truly afraid of other's thoughts.

Her mom killed herself when Kate was 5.

Kate has the feeling that she is out of touch with the world. She feels she will always be the weirdo, that doesn't have a mom anymore, that dresses weird, and is always alone.
