Other Characters Played: Rapunzel
Character Name: Kurt Hummel
Character Series: Glee
Character Age: 16
House: 1647 Albright Lane
Background: Here! Canon point is after the episode "Duets".
Personality: Kurt can come across as very much a gay stereotype: He's into fashion (although also cars!) and acts shallow. He can be catty and downright rude when expressing his opinions, such as his critiques of Rachel's personality, and is snooty often. However, Kurt is more than just the gay stereotype. He's very clever and can be quite manipulative -- Such as when he introduces his father to Finn's mother to get closer to Finn, who he as a crush on. He can be jealous and try too hard to please others, such as when he tries to be "manly" to please his father... Which happens to be because he is jealous of the attention Finn is getting from Burt. He also vows to have Rachel kicked out of New Directions if she doesn't stop dating Jesse, which also shows a bit of cynicism, a he doesn't trust Jesse truly has feelings for Rachel. On the other hand, this could just be a lack of belief that anyone would be able to stand Rachel enough to like them romantically.
Of course, Kurt's got his positive traits, too. He's always willing to take the fall for someone he cares about, from slushie-ing himself in the face for Finn's reputation to throwing a note and losing his chances on a solo to not embarrass his father. He's very supportive of his friends, particularly seen with Mercedes. After some time in glee club, he's someone who is proud of who he is; someone who refuses to change except for once instance (detailed below) -- When he is about to be beaten by a couple of football players, he reminds them that he won't change. Kurt is ultimately someone strong and confident. He's got dreams of musical theatre and he refuses to give up on them.
At the start, though, Kurt has, in some ways, accepted things like being thrown into the dumpster every day -- So long as it doesn't ruin his favorite outfits. And this kind of lingers. Through-out the first season, he makes comments about the other students being out for the glee club's blood, and about the band club being forever unpopular. But the difference as time goes on is that Kurt isn't seeing himself as flawed, he's seeing the way others view him as flawed. There are two things that comfort Kurt when he is bullied. One is knowing that he cannot and will not be changed, as seen in the Lady Gaga episode. Another is the fact that he sees himself as above those who torment him, stating that, "You will all work for me one day.". He's a strong kid, all in all, as his dad points out to him in the episode Wheels.
More on Kurt's views of himself. The kid knows he has talent, shown by his complaints about not getting solos and just being in the background, going so far as to join the Cheerios so he will get solos. However, his audition number for Glee is Mr. Cellophane, a song about being looked right through. This fits Kurt in two ways: One, his true self is very clear even when he tries to pretend to be something else. (Tina and Rachel suspect he's gay before he comes out; when he tries to be 'macho' no one really believes it.) Additionally, though, before he joined glee club, Kurt felt he was unseen by others, or at least unseen as more than a target. Kurt is a person; not just a victim or even just a stereotype. He feels invisible. In one instance, though, he seems okay with this -- When glee club is to be left out of the yearbook. He rather not have the picture be vandalized, which he clearly believes will have far more serious consequences. He seeks courage, as well, which causes him to accept alcohol from April Rhodes.
Kurt has known his sexuality since he was five, but hid it until he was a sophomore in high school. This was to protect himself in a very homophobic community, but also probably both to protect his father from discomfort and ridicule and to protect their relationship, judging by his attempts at being "manly" to make them closer and his choice not to sing a song traditionally sung by a women because it might cause his dad more grief. However, at heart, Kurt seems quite comfortable with who he is, never trying to change himself -- except for to get his father's attention -- even though he did hide for a while. Kurt identifies as male but is an "honorary girl", at least in glee club. While Kurt doesn't feel female, he does have a strong feminine side, which can be seen in his way of dress or his stereotypically girly attitudes towards many things... Including boys.
Let's talk about Kurt and boys. When he falls, it is very hard and very easily. All Finn did was lightly reprimand Puck for pushing Kurt against a locker, and Finn held Kurt's heart ever since. Kurt was alarmingly forceful and sneaky in is attempts to win Finn over -- See the relationship between his father and Finn's mother, above -- and, as is seen clear when he and Finn have a fight over their now-shared bedroom, it is hard for him to accept the fact that Finn is straight. He makes comments to Finn at times about how girls are his problem and certain things are "enough to want to make you give up women all together.". He's flirtatious and he tends to stare dreamily at his crushes. He can come on far too strong. This is most obvious in "Home", where he pushes Burt and Finn's mother's relationship on Finn, trying to use music to convince him that having a new father will be a good thing.
Kurt is, in many ways, an extremely good guy. In Acafellas, he is completely there for a lonely Mercedes, and it leads to a very sweet and close friendship. He also is part of the plan to sing Lean On Me for Finn and Quinn, despite being jealous of Quinn and Finn's relationship. He puts his father above his desire for a solo. He even -- though he will gain some from it himself, in the form of a successful multimedia project -- offers to help Sue find a new look when she is clearly hurt by a dig Will makes about her hair. However, he soon after steals and watches Sue's music video to Olivia Newton-John's "Physical", laughing at it and being part of the group to put it on Youtube in a attempt to get a more badass reputation. He later performs in the library for the same reason, showing Kurt can have a mean streak and be rebellious for things he wants.
Abilities:An amazing vocal range and eye for fashion.
