Kit was named after her mother and Aunt Millie; however, she prefers to go by her nickname. Kit refers to herself as not being "flouncy." She is very much a tomboy who does not like pink or ruffles, and she cares little for baking, dusting, dresses, and dance class, even though she has shown an affinity for square dancing. She enjoys baseball, and her favorite player is Ernie Lombardi, the catcher for the Cincinnati Reds. Kit likes when boys are around because she believes they are always up to something. She is interested in everything and fancies herself a reporter and factual writer. Her favorite place is the newsroom of the Cincinnati Register, where she often delivered Uncle Hendrick's letters. She has won an award for her writing in Kit's Railway Adventure, and has also had an article in the newspaper. She loves to read, and is seen reading Robin Hood, a story her older brother Charlie gave her.
