Kirsty Tate
Race Human
Gender ♀ Female


Kirsty Tate is one of the main protagonists in the Rainbow Magic series, alongside her best friend Rachel Walker, Gracie Adebayo and Khadijah Khan. She is the daughter of Mr Tate and Mrs Tate.

Appearance

Kirsty has dark brown or black hair that changed lengths over the years, with it being cut shorter in a bob in the earlier series, in comparison to it usually being medium-length the rest of the time. Sometimes her hair is shown to be in a ponytail or pigtails. In the film, her hair colour is black and is worn loose just past the shoulders. The colour of her eyes is unknown but in the movie, they are blue. She is often shown to be wearing her fairy dust locket.

Official Facebook description

Kirsty is a bit of a nervous flyer, but when the situation requires action she forgets about her fear of heights and will fly with abandon. (Rachel thinks that when it comes to flying, Kirsty thinks too much). Kirsty loves a mystery. She's very good at figuring out riddles and puzzles. She's a 'big picture' thinker who loves to put the clues together and play a hunch. Sometimes she knows what Jack Frost is going to do even before he does! When she grows up Kirsty wants to be an archaeologist or a famous detective.

Personality

Like Rachel, Kirsty is a kind and friendly girl who is also loyal, fun-loving, and adventurous. However, Kirsty seems to be more imaginative than Rachel; even before meeting the fairies, she was prone to daydreaming and seeing magic in the mundane. She is slightly more level-headed than Rachel. Rachel's habit of getting caught or frozen implies that Kirsty is the less impulsive of the duo, a fact supported by her often being the one who usually makes plans to retrieve the fairies' lost objects.

In the movie, Kirsty is shown to be carefree and emotionally mature, albeit somewhat socially unaware. When Rachel's belief in fairies wavers after being teased by her fellow classmates, Kirsty persuades her to ignore them and continue believing in them.

Biography

Kirsty and parents

Kirsty and her parents

Kirsty is a village girl, living in Wetherbury Village with her parents and her cat, Pearl.

She is fun, smart, reliable and creative, being good at ballet (Giselle, Paige, Melodie), acting (for tricking goblins) and painting (Violet). Despite this, she has shown nerves at the idea of being on stage (Una). She is light on her feet, and is in a cheerleading troupe (Carmen). She is quite popular, and has many friends, but her best friend is Rachel. The two are openly welcome to making friends with other pairs, such as Matt and Lucas (Twilight Fairies), Sarah and Anna (Susie), Emily and Isabel (Billie) and numerous kids at the Sunsands beach resort (Becky).


It seems that Kirsty is not as tomboyish or sporty as Rachel, usually preferring quieter, more creative pastimes such as drawing and dancing. She enjoys rollerskating and ice skating. On their winter holidays, while Rachel chose a snowboard, Kirsty instead went for skis. She also mentioned she has had figure skating lessons (Isla).

Kirsty's favourite colour is pink (Trixie, Phoebe), in comparison to Rachel's purple. Despite this, Rich, The Angels' stylist, thought that the colour Kirsty looked best in was red (Destiny).

Kirsty loves it when her mum and dad let Rachel and her go off on their own and have adventures. She likes school and her teachers, such as Mrs. Hilaria (Addison), though she tries not to be a teacher's pet. Kirsty previously went to school at Orchard Primary School and Wetherbury College (though it is unknown when in her education this was) and is currently attending Wetherbury High (Carly).

KirstyProfile

Profile from the Official Rainbow Magic Website

It is assumed that both Kirsty and Rachel enjoy the book Cinderella, as it is often depicted in the series (Hannah, Honor, Paige). It is also apparent that Kirsty is interested in princesses (Princess Fairies, Catherine).  

Kirsty loves music and dancing, although she and Rachel are self-admittedly bad at it (Music Fairies), and it has been noted that she's aware of being an awful singer (Adele).
