History
Ever since she was a little girl, Li'l Kate dreamt of becoming a professional pop star, and has never let go of that dream.

During the event of Sonic Unleashed, Li'l Kate met Sonic the Hedgehog and Chip when they first came to Empire City. Upon seeing them, Li'l Kate gave them a friendly greeting, before remarking that they were some strange ones, and told them about her dream to becoming a singer. Later at night, when Sonic turned into Sonic the Werehog, Li'l Kate met Sonic again and was surprised at Sonic's change in "hairstyle", but still found it a nice do, due to how hairy it was. Li'l Kate later witnessed Sonic fighting some of Dark Gaia's minions, and when Sonic returned, Li'l Kate praised him for being "hot stuff", saying that she totally dug Sonic's werehog arms and asked how far he could stretch them.

A while after that, Li'l Kate met up with Sonic and Chip again. Having seen Sonic and Chip alot around Empire City, Li'l Kate told the duo what she had noticed and asked them if they liked it here. Later at night, Li'l Kate had heard about how Dark Gaia's minions showed up at night these days. She therefore met up with Sonic and Chip once more, and told them what she had heard and that they should watch out.

Some time afterwards, Li'l Kate learned that Def Big, a major record producer in Empire City, held auditions for singers. Seeing this as her chance to achieve her dream, Li'l Kate became extremely excited and decided to use this opportunity. After that, Li'l Kate met Sonic and Chip again, and she told them about Def Big and what he was doing. She also told the duo that she was totally going to use this audition and that there was no way she was going to miss it.

As she said she would do, Li'l Kate applied for the audition. She made a demo tape with her singing and sent it to Def Big for evaluation. However, despite her confidence in her own skills. Li'l Kate became very nervous about the outcome and wondered if she made the cut, so much that she could not sleep or eat. She would, however, relief her worries by talking to Sonic and Chip and about how it was her dream.

Eventually, Li'l Kate could not wait any longer and began to seek out Def Big to hear the result of the audition from him. She therefore went on a stakeout on a place where Def Big came by frequently and waited for him to come by. She was met by Sonic during the night, where she explained her plan to talk to Def Big, but guessed that she should try again during daytime as she would have a better chance. True enough, Li'l Kate spotted Def Big the following day on nearby street, and began to chase after him. While running after Def Big, however, Li'l Kate ran into Sonic. Seeing this as a perfect timing, Li'l Kate asked Sonic kindly if he could catch Def Big for her after telling him where she saw him. Sonic accepted the request, and Li'l Kate thanked Sonic deeply and said that she really wanted this to happen.

Soon after, Sonic brought Def Big to Li'l Kate, who approached the record producer formally. As Def Big asked who she was, Lil Kate told him her name and asked if he had listened to her demo tape. As Def Big recognized her, Li'l Kate was told by Def Big that she had "some pipes" and she asked him if he really thought so. However, Def Big then told Li'l Kate that were was another guy with much talent as well. Li'l Kate was surprised to hear that another guy was in his consideration, but she became even more surprised, giving a loud outburst, when she heard from Def Big that he had narrowed his choices down to just her and the other guy. As Def Big took his leave, Li'l Kate told Sonic that she was concerned about the other guy Def Big had chosen.

A while later, Li'l Kate met up with Sonic and Chip once more. Having learned that the other guy's name was Shadi, she told the duo that she had expected competition, but she had no idea who it would be. She announces, however, that she would not loose.

Some time afterwards, Li'l Kate finally met Shadi, and the two of them began duking it out over the competition. As Sonic and Chip arrived and Li'l Kate explained to them what was going on, Shadi said that Def Big would reveal the results today. Li'l Kate then begins to wonder who won, and as Shadi expressed his nervousness, Li'Kate asked Sonic nearly pleadingly if he could could find Def Big so they could settle this. Sonic agreed to the request, but before he could go, Li'l Kate admitted to Sonic that she thought Shadi had an amazing voice, and that even though she really wanted to win, she thought Shadi still deserved a chance.

Def Big eventually came to Li'l Kate and Shadi, and, with some help from Sonic, announced that both Li’l Kate and Shadi had won the competition and that he had decided to let them debut as a two-person singing act, to which both Li'l Kat and Shadi happily agreed on. Afterwards, Li'l met up with Sonic and Chip again and asked them overjoyed if she was dreaming or not. She then proclaimed that with both her dream fulfilled and having met her perfect partner in one day, they would make the whole world fall in love with their music.
