#cuz Kate didn’t finish 8th grade and didn’t read most of her time in the forest

Does Nina do the stereotypical “girly” things with Kate LMAO

She tries to!!!

She wants to paint Kate’s nails, do her makeup, hair, go shopping, all of that - but Kate genuinely gets uncomfortable/squeamish doing any of that stuff. Especially shopping in public, with all the fluorescents and people and noise. Every time she sees herself in the mirror with makeup or feminine clothes or something it feels kind of out-of-body for her. It’s not like it gives her a panic attack, but it feels wrong and she feels like the butt of a joke (also butch Kate my beloved)

It took Nina a while to grasp that Kate wasn’t rejecting it cuz she didn’t wanna spend time with her/indulge in her interests! She just had to find different things to do with Kate. She has in fact made Kate take those magazine quizzes, got her in the kitchen to bake with her, they’ll watch shows and movies together. Nina taught Kate how to sew a little, so now Kate is fixing her torn up jeans rather than telling Toby to get her more. She tried getting Kate into astrology … LMAAAOOO I’m pretty sure Nina and Kate are Aquarius and cancer (in my AU) and Nina gets mad cuz they’re incompatible. Kate’s nodding along

Kate only starts collecting hobbies after she gets involved with the Creepjects, all things considered, so it’s mostly everyone teaching her something new
