Kelly is the closest friend of Arby's. Like Arby, she is smart, yet, in all other issues she is completely different; she is Caucasian, adventurous and free-spirited. She lives with her recently divorced mother in a middle-class neighborhood. Unlike her classmates, Kelly is fascinated by science and idolizes Dr. Sarah Harding. It was her idea to accompany Malcolm and Thorne once she learned that Sarah would join the group later, but she left the planning to Arby. The film adaptation features Kelly, however, her character was merged with Arby's, creating a female African-American. She is Malcolm's daughter, but not in the book and was portrayed by Vanessa Lee Chester in the film. She is the only character in the film to kill a Velociraptor by impaling it through a spike, although she is not the only one to defeat a carnivorous dinosaur. It is unknown if she will return for Jurassic Park IV. Show less «
