11	This is Kimono. She is better than you. She's beautiful, intelligent and cultured. A career student in Asian Studies, she maintains a perfect GPA at Ponyville University.\
12	Student worker at Ponyville University's library, where she works in government documents.
13	----
14	* AdaptationalNameChange: In the [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyG3 original MLP source]], her name is simply "Kimono", but here she's been given the surname of "Vale", as well as an EmbarrassingMiddleName (see below).
15	* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Here, she is siblings with Wysteria and Cherry Blossom, whereas she isn't related to anybody in the original G3 MLP source material.
16	* CharacterDevelopment: Originally wasn't thrilled about rooming with Minty, but grows to like her a lot over time.
17	* DeadpanSnarker: Oh yes.
18	* EmbarrassingMiddleName: A running gag on KT was people trying to guess Kimono's middle name, which we knew started with a "C" and nothing else. Minty's guesses included "Clover", "Canto", "Cherub", "Calliope", and "Chickpea". There was a contest held for viewers to guess her middle name, with the prize being a Kimono toy with a bunch of accessories. Her middle name was successfully guessed by viewer genkigrrl. It's "[[spoiler:Chrysanthemum]]".
19	* GirlsLoveChocolate: Considers it one of her favorite things.
20	* GrammarNazi: Very particular about proper grammar, to the point that after she says her new year's resolution is to not correct people so much, and Minty says a {{Malaproper}}, Kimono gags and starts coughing in an attempt to not automatically correct her.
21	* TheLastStraw: Kimono wasn't very happy dating Breezie, but stayed with him because he wasn't doing anything ''wrong''. After he implies that he thinks Minty isn't very smart and refuses to back down, she finally breaks up with him.

29	----
30	* AdaptationalNameChange: In the original MLP source, her name is simply "Minty", but here her name has been lengthed to "Minty Joy Bobbins".

32	* CrazyPrepared: Keeps a stash of face-masks around, as well as canned food in the case of an alien invasion.
33	* {{Geek}}: As is mentioned by the comic's tagline[[note]]Geek humor in a pink world[[/note]], Minty is VERY geeky. She loves superhero comics, video games, collecting figurines, and more.
34	* TheKlutz: Trips over her own feet a lot.
35	* {{Malaproper}}: Is VERY prone to these. [[BerserkButton It drives Kimono crazy]].

37	* ProudToBeAGeek: Minty doesn't care what others think of her geekiness, and makes no attempt to hide it either.
38	* SarcasmBlind: In comic #312, Kimono and Brightly are discussing tornadoes. Minty walks into the room in the middle of their conversation, and after Kimono leaves, asks what they were talking about. Brightly responds with "[[BlatantLies Lizards]]." Dava mentions in the description that she is also sarcasm-blind, and that the comic was [[BasedOnATrueStory based on her overhearing a conversation her husband was having with a customer about a natural disaster]]. When she asked what they were talking about, her husband had said "Lizards."

50	* DeadpanSnarker: Has his moments.

58	The son of Kimono's mother's neighbor, who Kimono dated for a while. According to Kimono, hes smart, handsome, and nice, but a little dull. Looks a ''lot'' like Kimono's dad.
59	----
60	* AdaptationalNameChange: Has been given the surname "Goforth".

62	* LikeParentLikeSpouse: Resembles Kimono's dad a distressing amount [[note]]Breezie's toy is also used in a photograph to represent Kimono's dad[[/note]], which Kimono didn't notice until Wysteria pointed it out. It weirds Kimono out a ''lot''.
63	%%* UnintentionallyInsensitive: Is surprised to learn that Minty enjoys chess, saying that he thought she was... [[LastSecondWordSwap flighty]]. Kimono defends Minty, saying that Minty isn't dumb. Later we see that he thinks Minty "doesn't act very smart". This is what ended up having Kimono and him break up. At least it showed Kimono's CharacterDevelopment and growing affection towards Minty?

123	* RichBitch: She's incredibly rude, and, according to Minty, smells expensive.
124	* {{Jerkass}}: Constantly puts down other people. It says enough that Kimono, who grew up with her, is completely resigned when Cherry Blossom implies Kimono's rear is so big that Cherry doesn't have enough fabric to cover it. When Brightly tries to suggest a sewing technique that would save fabric, Sakura ''hits on him'' despite knowing he's dating her sister, making him uncomfortable enough to leave and hide with Minty.
