KIMBER is Jerrica Benton's younger sister. She is the primary songwriter of the Holograms, and is both romantic and rebellious. KIMBER used to be jealous of all the media attention that Jem got while fronting the Holograms, but since Jem retired and disappeared from public view, KIMBER has come into her own. Kimber is still a hopeless romantic, however, who seems to fall in love at the drop of a hat. She is an accomplished musician, and plays keyboards and synthesizers as well as providing lead and backing vocals for the Holograms.

History[]
MUX Canon History:[]
Kimberly "Kimber" Benton was born on March 22nd[1], 1967. When Kimber was growing up, she was upset because she was the youngest child and felt that she was sometimes left out. It wasn't until Lela arrived at the Starlight House that that feeling went away, as Lela was younger. When Kimber was nine, her mother, Jacqui, died in a plane crash, leaving her, Jerrica, and her foster sisters in the care of her father.
After Kimber's father died, she, Aja, Shana, and Jerrica found clothes, musical instruments, a supercomputer and even a car that their father left for them. She, Jerrica and her foster sisters then formed The Holograms, where she's the keyboard player, sings backup vocals and is the main songwriter. She was a member of the Holograms during their heyday in the 80s, and when their lead singer Jem quit and mysteriously dropped from public site, Kimber took over the band. Kimber Almost Married Jeff Wright But Then Changed Her Mind And At The Hospital She Went To See Sean As He Was Recovering But Then She Rejected His Proposal And Agreed To Stay Friends With Him.
MUX History:[]
KIMBER was one of the Holograms kidnapped by Cobra.
KIMBER was later released in exchange for advanced holographic technology. Even with Jem's temporary return, she still led the Holograms.
In 2015, Kimber helped launch the singing career of Taria Kacardi, who became the new lead singer of the Holograms. That same year she began a relationship with former Misfits band member Stormer.
In 2016 Kimber was kidnapped by Dealiticus for psychological experimentation. She was eventually released unharmed, but not until after forming a relationship with fellow captive Major Bludd.
In December of that year, Synergy sent Kimber an urgent call -- Starlight Music was on fire, and Synergy's very existence was threatened! Major Bludd responded immediately, using Synergy's holograms to bypass BAT checkpoints and arrive at the studio, which Incinerator 8299 had set on fire. Bludd rescued Synergy, extracting her memory drives and bypassing 8299 without being identified.
In 2017, Kimber encountered Bludd digging a grave in the back yard of the Starlight Mansion. Although shaken up by the discovery, she accepted Major Bludd's explanation of why he killed a woman, and ultimately just went back inside.
In 2022, it was revealed that Kimber and other members of the Holograms have been taken over by the evil AI Silica and turned into a darker version of herself.
In 2023, while recovering from the Silica Virus, Kimber started performing locally in Santa Monica clubs with Major Bludd as "Kim and Company." In August of that year, Bludd took Kimber to Cybertron to a New Harmonex benefit concert to see Banshee and Starlock perform. She was blown away and wound up spending a week on the alien world.
In 2025, Bludd brought up the subject of a proposal of marriage to Kimber, to which Kimber was beyond thrilled.
