Hi! So someone called you an AFTG archive (or something along those lines). With all the jokes about Katelyn and Neil looking a lot alike, I’m not sure if she has a canon appearance. It would be great if you could clear that up (if that’s okay).
Hey there, Being called the AFTG archive again is very funny. Just a quick disclaimer though that even I am capable of making mistakes haha.
So, the only canonical physical description of Katelyn that we have is from TRK and it is, “Katelyn stood tucked against Aaron’s side, a few inches taller than he was but somehow fitting perfectly against against him.” We do not know her hair colour or length, eye colour, skin colour, if she has tattoos/piercing, etc.,. Only that she is taller than Aaron! Maybe she has long pink hair, beautiful brown eyes, and full-sleeve rose tattoos as the physical embodiment of love ^_^.
We know other random facts about Katelyn like she has a sister who is having a baby boy, her descriptions often describe her as “happy” “gleeful” “twirly” and Neil describes her as exhaustingly enthusiastic about the world. And, of course, that she’s planning on going to med-school to be a pediatrician. And, of course, that she loves Aaron (and is scared of Andrew - which, fair).
Our knowledge of Katelyn’s last name as Mackenzie is something that Nora revealed on Twitter & wasn’t in the books, either. In the EC that Nora has posted about Aaron/Katelyn we don’t get a physical description of her either, only that Katelyn flirted with Aaron first, and Katelyn/Aaron had a lot of sex in Katelyn’s dorm. Eventually, Aaron proposes 5th year of university & they get married the summer after graduation before they start at MUSC.
Nora seems to have changed her mind on Aaron/Katelyn having children over the years, she initially said they would not have children b/c they are both career-focused (but would have a pug named Popo) & then later seems to imply that Aaron/Katelyn have their own set of Minyard twins.
Katelyn & Neil physically looking alike is Fanon - and while I definitely understand the humor behind it - I am admittedly not the biggest fan of Katelyn & Neil looking alike as having basically become the Fandom norm b/c I think it’s a bit creepy in regard to implying that Aaron & Andrew have similar sexual interests b/c they are twins. Also, I’ve been tripped up by Katelyn/Aaron Fanart several times that I thought was someone just making Andrew/Neil heterosexual haha. I also think Katelyn does have enough of a Canonical personality that it’s very obvious she’s not similar to Neil personality wise (which is why Neil doesn’t really vibe with her).
So, Katelyn can ultimately look like however you wish to envision her - as long as she’s taller than Aaron!
