Kim x Tara

Kim x Tara is the femslash ship between Kim Possible and Tara the cheerleader from the Kim Possible fandom.

Canon
Kim and Tara are both students from Middleton who attend many of the same classes at Middleton High School. The majority of their interactions come from the fact that both are teammates on the Middleton High School Cheersquad. During their practices and performances, Kim and Tara are shown work very well together and are occasionally partnered with each other. Tara is shown to respect Kim as captain of the team and will follow her instructions usually without question.

Although Tara is friend’s with Bonnie Rockwaller, Kim’s arch-rival and school bully, this has not impacted their relationship. To the contrary, Tara is very friendly towards Kim and has never treated her inappropriately as Bonnie often does. During the episode “Sink or Swim”, Tara and Kim’s relationship received a bit more focus. When the cheersquad found themselves stranded at Camp Wannaweep in the middle of the night, Tara was quite frightened by the eerie surroundings of the abandoned summer camp and often turned to Kim for comfort. During one such moment, as Tara lamented that their situation mirrored that of a horror movie, she placed her hands on Kim’s left arm in a manner that suggested she was turning to Kim for comfort due to her seeming fearlessness at the situation they were in. Kim, however, was often annoyed when Tara expressed her fears and sternly told her to relax. Despite this, she did at least once show Tara sympathy and genuinely tried to comfort her when she was scared. This was shown when the cheersquad was making their way towards the old campfire, during which Tara once again placed her arms on Kim’s left arm and shoulder. Unlike the previous instance, however, Kim did not object and was shown to be visibly sympathetic towards the nervous Tara, showing that she genuinely wish to ease her teammates fears. Following the squad’s encounter with Gill, Kim was shown to be supportive of Tara’s crush towards Ron, silently encouraging it. Based on these interactions, Tara seems to look up to Kim as something as an older sister figure, due to her admiration for Kim’s general fearlessness, while Kim often looks out for Tara.
