COMMENTS:
Aspiring Journalist Katherine Agnes "Kate" Kavanagh (Eloise Mumford) was the editor of Washington State University Vancouver (WSUV) student newspaper and has an internship with The Seattle Times. She is also literature student Anastasia Steele's (Dakota Johnson) best friend and roommate.

Kate and Ana met as freshmen at Washington State University Vancouver (WSUV), and have been roommates for four years. Kate comes from a wealthy family; her father, whom Christian respects for his "shrewd" and "rational" business sense, is the founder of Kavanagh Media. She has an older brother named Ethan.

Kate is an aspiring journalist and was the editor of WSUV's student newspaper. After graduating from WSUV, she has an internship with The Seattle Times. Kate gave the valedictorian speech at their graduation, implying that Kate's grades are as good or better than Ana's (who already had a 4.0 GPA).

Kate is Ana's polar opposite: Ana is shy, dreads shopping, and prefers to keep to herself, while Kate is outgoing, fashionable, and makes friends easily. Kate is also described as "vivacious", "confident", and "strong-willed".

Kate and Anastasia are long-time BFFs, having roomed together for four years at Washington State University Vancouver. An aspiring journalist from a conservative family, she quickly finds herself entangled in the Gray family… in more ways than one. She’s also, personality-wise, the complete opposite of Miz Steele — bubbly, outgoing and, most importantly, blonde

Kate is an aspiring journalist, and has a tendency to question people relentlessly; Ana nicknames this the "Katherine Kavanagh Inquisition".

Kate is described as having strawberry-blonde hair, green eyes, and a curvaceous body. Ana says that Kate is so beautiful that it makes men "tongue-tied".

Before the events of Fifty Shades of Grey, Kate badgers Christian's PR department for an interview. Christian is impressed with Kate's tenacity and agrees to meet with her. Kate comes down with the flu on the day of the interview and sends Anastasia to do the interview for her.

Kate is one of the few people to point out when Christian's behavior.

Kate gets into a relationship with Elliot Grey, who she meets at a bar while celebrating the end of finals week with Ana, José, and Levi.
