Katie Mitchell

Katie Mitchell is the protagonist of the 2021 animated film The Mitchells vs. the Machines. She is a 17-year-old girl who has a passion for technology and filming videos, and she dreams to go to college where she will participate in filming.

Physical Appearance
Katie is a young woman with a lanky build and fair skin. She has medium length chestnut hair in a ponytail with a part sticking out on her side. She has black eyes and wears large, thin black square glasses. She also wears a yellow thunderbolt earring on her left ear and has black and red nail polish.

She wears a cherry red hooded open jacket with a white drawstring. She has several badges attached to her, one in particular of her Pride her pin. Underneath her jacket is a white shirt with colorful monster paintings. She wears ripped jeans. Her shoes are grey-blue with white tips and laces. She has a small drawing on her hand.

Personality
Katie is an imaginative and quirky girl who enjoys filming shorts for her YouTube channel. She is socially awkward, but friendly and outgoing.

Sexuality
Katie is Sony Animation's first LGBTQ+ protagonist as well as the first open sapphic protagonist in a big studio family film. While it's never outright said she is sapphic until the end of the movie, there are plenty of hints throughout. She talks a lot about Jade, draws her a lot in her notebooks, considers filmmaker Celine Sciamma one of her heroes, and wears a LGBTQ flag pin on her jacket.

At the end of the movie, her sexuality is made clear by Linda as she asks if her and Jade are "official" and if she'll be bringing her home for Thanksgiving. In Dog Cop 7: The Final Chapter, Katie and Jade become official.

All her family members appear to be extremely supportive of this and treat it very naturally.

Trivia

 * She is Sony Pictures Animation's very first original female protagonist and first LGBTQ+ lead.
 * Her voice actress, Abbi Jacobson is also a member of the LGBTQ community. Katie is openly gay while Jacobson is bisexual.
 * In Katie's college acceptance video, she shows that her biggest influences are directors Greta Gerwig, Lynne Ramsay, Hal Ashby, and Celine Sciamma. Sciamma is a pretty subtle hint at the fact that Katie is a lesbian, considering that Sciamma's films are about sexual identities, particularly in girls.
 * According to her driver's license, she was born on May 14, 2003. However, this could be an error in the film as the recording of Rick moving out of the cabin with baby Katie is timestamped "May 08 2003."
 * She is Sony Pictures Animation's first central protagonist in the LGBTQ+ community. Specifically, she is a lesbian girl, considering dialogue centering around her having a crush on Jade.
 * Her jacket was originally going to be purple as seen in early sketches of the movie.
