Cat Valentine
Cat is a sweet and innocent girl. She can also be very naive. Her hair is dyed bright red. This is because red is the color of her favorite snack, a red velvet cupcake. When she feels upset, she often says, "What's that supposed to mean?!" Andre calls her "little red." This is because she is small and has red hair. Cat is also the only character who is a good friend to Trina. The other characters, especially Tori, often get annoyed by Trina.
