|WhoSaidIt=Kathleen De Vere
|Context=- [[Maximum Macca]]
}}
Born in New Zealand, she became associated with LoadingReadyRun through chance encounter with [[Graham Stark]] at a student newspaper conference in Edmonton, Alberta. At the time she lived in Prince George, British Columbia and worked for the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) newspaper ''Over the Edge''.

She also has two cats, [[Khaavren]] and [[Baxter]], who, along with the now-deceased [[Annika]], have appeared in various videos. Khaavren is known for being exceptionally long, stretching most of the distance of Kathleen's own torso, Baxter for his incredible size, and Annika for being very, very fluffy. During [[Desert Bus for Hope 7]], Kathleen revealed that she has never named any of her cats herself, a fact that she continues to perpetuate as a joke.

Kathleen has written several comic strips in the past, including "Fun with Kathleen" for Over the Edge, [[Korea]] for LoadingReadyRun, and the Tumblr "Things My Cat Hates", starring Annika.

Outside of LRR, Kathleen writes about the mobile gaming industry for Inside Mobile Apps.

Kathleen got engaged to [[Graham]] sometime before [[Desert Bus for Hope 6]], but it was not announced until afterward. They were married on July 5th, 2014.

Kathleen is known for frequently changing her hairstyle; in her early appearances, she had shoulder-length hair, but later cut it short and began experimenting with dyes, including several varieties of vivid highlights and bleaching her hair blonde. She returned it to its natural dark brown in 2013, and late that year began growing farther out again, though not to its former length.

Along with [[Graham]], [[Paul Saunders]], and [[James Turner]], Kathleen is currently one of the "core group" of LoadingReadyRun, who receive salaries and treat it as their full-time job.

[[Image:cats.jpg|200px|thumb|right|[[Annika]] (black) and [[Khaavren]] (tabby)]]

===Trivia===
* Kathleen's first writing effort was [[Door to Door]].
* Until [[Alex Steacy]] became a crew member, Kathleen was the eldest crew member.
* She has a perfectly reasonable fear of bears.

She has often stated her profound dislike for Resident Evil games and has, on occasion, offered in podcasts to give all of Jer's copies away. This characteristic showed up in [[commodoreHUSTLE]], when she microwaved Jer's copy of Resident Evil 5 and declared him a racist for slaughtering African villagers.

Tally is the go-to craftmaker of the crew, fashioning crafts for LRR projects (such as the backdrops for [[Pathfinder]]) or for her blog, [http://tallystreasury.com Tally's Teasury]. She created the thirty [[Creepy doll|Creepy Dolls]] that sold out of the LRR store in a few hours, and the giant Creepy Doll that served as the climax for [[Santa Secrets]].

Tally got engaged to [[Jeremy Petter|Jer]] shortly after [[Desert Bus for Hope 6]]. They wed on Sunday, June 23, 2013.

Chaosof99: /* The following is known about Snorsh */

Snorsh is a fictitious country ad-libbed by Kathleen during a Kathleen Subscriber Commercial from the aftershow of Checkpoint+ from the 14th of April 2014.

== The following is known about Snorsh ==
* Snorsh is located between Vladveria and Arstotzka
* There is a longstanding feud between Snorsh and its neighbor Romania.
* The Snorsh slogan/primary tourism campaign is "Snorsh, right‽"
* Snorsh gained independence after the fall of communism.
* Snorsh has a population of 27 or 28 Snorshians. (There's this one thing they're not sure is a person.)
* When talking to Snorshians, don't mention Arstotzka. It's a sore point.
* Cornland, birthplace of the Cornish pastry—not to be confused with Britain's Cornish pasty—is a popular tourist destination in Snorsh. Nobody knows why.
* Snorsh has a castle: Snorsh Castle.
* The Snorsh River runs through the country.
* A theoretical map of Snorsh put forth by Dr De Vere suggests the country has a "wiggly" shape, wedging itself between the borders of several countries throughout Europe. One possible explanation puts Snorsh on the frozen moon of Europa, with numerous wormhole connections forming pseudo-borders to Earthly countries.
* Cheese is illegal in Snorsh. (Desert Bus for Hope 8)
