[edit] Sanders/Saunders

Confusion often takes place on Kate's surname as it changes from Sanders to Saunders between episodes. Perhaps this is a running-gag or maybe it's a fault on the scripts.

[edit] Personality

Kate used to be nice and friendly as shown in some episodes and was best friends with Lizzie. Something happened during the summer before they went to Middle School and suddenly Kate turned extremely popular and had a totally different personality and attitude towards Lizzie. Now, Kate is mean, obnoxious and egotistical towards Lizzie and her friends (as well as other unpopular students). Kate uses her popular "power" as a form of bullying and disrespecting as well as showing off to everyone. It is shown that Kate is a cheerleader and is her main source of "power" (she being the cheer captain). If she is kicked off the team for any reason, she becomes an "unpopular" until she gets back on team. She often acts sweet and innocent towards teachers, student parents and other members of authority and then will go back to being her mean-self as soon as they leave. Kate can sometimes be the better-person with the teachings of Lizzie.

[edit] Amy Sanders/Saunders

Amy (played by Hilary Duff's sister Haylie) is Kate's 18-year old cousin. She is as every bit as mean as Kate and acts very irresponsibly as shown in the episode "Party Over Here". She appears in about 4 episodes.

[edit] Love Relationships

In The Lizzie McGuire Movie, the trip chapperone tells Kate to separate from Ethan Craft after an argument about spaghetti and how Kate won't eat it. Kate responds to the chapperone with: We did, and thank God. Toward the end of the movie, Kate and Ethan have a romantic moment where they eat spaghetti together.
