She actually gets to have a character arc, too. I mean, her drama in books 2 and 3 really turned a lot of players against her, but the thing is that all that drama actually served as a medium to grow her character. By the beginning of The Sophomore, Book 1, Kaitlyn is a very different character than she had been at the beginning of The Freshman, Book 1, which is quite refreshing.

I chose Kaitlyn as my character's primary LI in The Freshman, Book 1 primarily because, in that book, the main point of drama with her was her suddenly falling in love with MC, which was much easier to deal with than the drama with Chris and James; it felt like Kaitlyn was the most natural match at that point. There were points in The Freshman, Book 2 and The Freshman, Book 3 where I considered breaking MC and Kaitlyn up, but in the end, while I was pushed very close to breaking them up in Book 3, I was patient, and eventually Kaitlyn's character arc made her a much better LI for MC.
