"I've lived with dozens of different families, and they always seem to send me away just when I'm getting comfortable. But you know what? Every time it happens, it just makes me stronger, because it reminds me that the only one I can count on is myself."
―Kyle to Andy.

Kyle is Andy's 17-year-old foster sister. She had been placed with the Simpsons three weeks before him.

Biography

She grew up in an orphanage; her father left before she was born, and her mother put her up for adoption when she was three. She claims that she made it a point to forget who her mother was, as it made it easier for her. Throughout her life Kyle has lived with dozens of foster families, staying with them for only about a month until she is sent back.

Child's Play 2 (1990)

When Andy is brought in to live with the Simpsons, he begins exploring his new home and comes across Kyle's bedroom. She is smoking a cigarette when Joanne walks in and scolds her for smoking, taking away her cigarette pack. As Joanne introduces Andy to Kyle, she asks why Kyle still hasn't unpacked her luggage, but Kyle simply remarks that there isn't a reason to as she hasn't stayed with a foster for more than a month. Joanne asks that Kyle help make dinner, but she insists that she has to work at night, the third night in a row. Although Joanne wishes that she could spend more time with the family, Kyle tells her that she needs the money because she will be on her own next year.

The next morning, Kyle and Andy are interrogated by Phil when Joanne's porcelain statue is found smashed. As neither admits they destroyed it, Phil grounds them both until someone confesses their guilt, which upsets Kyle as she had a date planned. The two head downstairs to do laundry, where Kyle blames Andy for breaking the statue. When Andy tells her he thinks Phil is grouchy, she reveals to him that she had been with much worse foster families, including ones that would physically hurt her whenever she made a mistake. He follows her outside and plays on a swing as she gardens, asking more questions about her childhood. When she takes a turn on the swing, Andy gets behind her and pushes her, allowing them to share a brief moment of bonding.

Against Phil's rules, she sneaks out to see her boyfriend that night. When she returns home by going in through Andy's bedroom window, she finds him bound and gagged on his bed with Chucky next to him. After she removes the sock in his mouth, he screams for her to kill Chucky. The noise alerts Phil and Joanne, who believe that she tied him up to stop him from ratting her out for sneaking out of the house. Phil thinks she's pulling a sick joke, and from Andy's protests about the doll, throws it into the basement.

In the morning, Kyle escorts Andy to the bus for his first day of school. On the way, she warns him not to act nervous or the other students will know he's a new kid. She notices Andy periodically looking behind him, and mocks him about Chucky coming to get him. Before Andy gets on the bus, he remarks that she's just like everyone else and doesn't believe him. The two go their separate ways, until Andy gets into trouble at school when obscenities are found written on his test paper. He insists Chucky did it, which leads to Phil and Joanne argueing into the evening about whether to keep fostering Andy. Kyle goes to Andy's room and comforts him over his fears of where he will go if they send him away.

Chucky subduing Kyle.

Later in the night, Phil dies suddenly from a fall in the basement, which leaves Joanne distraught. She decides to send Andy back to the Children's Crisis Centre with Grace. Before he leaves, Andy warns Kyle that Chucky is still in the basement. When the paramedics finally exit the house, Kyle grabs Chucky and walks to the backyard, throwing Chucky in the garbage can. While smoking on the swing set, she feels something under the dirt and digs it up. She uncovers a damaged Good Guy doll, Tommy, which was originally in the Simpson's home before Andy arrived. Shocked, she goes back to the garbage can and opens the lid, but finding nothing. Now knowing that Chucky is alive, she grabs a knife and rushes to Joanne's bedroom, only to find her bloody corpse tied to a chair. Kyle is then assaulted by Chucky, who subdues her and forces her to drive him to the Crisis Centre.

While driving, Kyle thinks fast to free herself from Chucky. She steps on the brakes, causing the doll to smash through the windshield. She attempts to ram into him by driving straight into a chainlink fence, and cautiously exits the car when she thinks she succeeded. However, he jumps onto her back and holds her at knifepoint, forcing her to walk to the Crisis Centre and pull the fire alarm. As everyone evacuates the building, Kyle is separated from Andy as Chucky locks the two of them in Grace's office after killing her. Although she eventually breaks through the door, she is too late as Chucky already escaped with Andy on a mail truck. She gets back into her car and drives after them, forcing the truck to pull over, then follows Andy on foot as he runs into the Play Pals factory.

Kyle and Andy after Chucky exploded.

When Chucky learns that he is too late to transfer his soul into Andy, he decides to kill him instead. At this moment Kyle finally catches up to them, pushing a mound of Good Guy boxes onto Chucky to allow Andy to run away with her. During their chase through the factory, Kyle manages to trap Chucky on a conveyor belt as Andy sends him into a machine which leaves behind a mound of plastic limbs. They assume Chucky is dead, but this machine only cut off his legs. While walking, Kyle is knocked unconscious by a trap set by Chucky, landing on the same conveyor belt that cut off Chucky's legs. With quick thinking, Andy subdues Chucky by dousing him in molten plastic, and wakes Kyle up just before she enters the cutting machine. As the two inspect what they believe to be Chucky's corpse, he lunges at her neck. Grabbing a nearby air tube, she forces it into Chucky's mouth causing his head to inflate and eventually explode, which finally kills him. The two then leave the factory, making their way for "home", despite not knowing where "home" is.

Cult of Chucky (2017)

Kyle and Andy continue to keep in contact with each other, as he has several photographs of her in his home. Before Andy leaves to go after Nica, he sends Kyle to his cabin. She is instantly recognized by the Chucky head as she enters Andy's cabin, and then proceeds to continue torturing the head.

Kyle and Andy killing Chucky.

After disposing of the Chucky head, Kyle drives to Rhode Island and breaks Andy out of the Harrogate mental institution. The two then begin driving across the country to track down the Chucky dolls that escaped from the facility before him. In South Carolina, she and Andy have tracked down a Chucky doll, the one with the melted fingers. Bringing their guns, they enter a nearby home pretending to be members of the U.S. Census. While Kyle politely conducts the survey and makes small talk with the family, Andy begins asking if they've had any recent property damage or injuries. She looks over at him sternly and tries to move forward with the census, until Andy finally questions if they have any new dolls. Kyle attempts to reason that they do this to get children interested in the census, so the family's child Becky complies and brings over some of her dolls. When Kyle asks if that is all of them, Becky suddenly remembers she forgot one and runs back to grab her Good Guy doll "Charlie". As Becky hugs the doll, Chucky reveals himself and prepares to stab her. Andy quickly pulls out his gun and shoots Chucky in the head, causing Becky to drop him to the ground. The doll is then shot repeatedly in the chest by Andy and Kyle until he finally dies. With their job finished, the two exit the house and drive away.

While driving at night, he and Kyle discuss the family they just saved, and her concern that they may tell someone what happened. She also worries about Becky, about how she will be traumatized, but Andy reassures her that the two of them also went through a lot as kids and turned out okay. To change the subject, Kyle asks him why he was keeping the Chucky head alive locked in his safe for four years, as this is not rational behaviour. He explains that he kept the head to get information, and was able to discover that Chucky broke his soul into pieces to transfer them into multiple vessels. They know there is one doll left, but the last piece of his soul is in a human, Nica.

In Virginia, Andy gets a phone call from a boy named Jake Wheeler, whom he contacted a month before about the Chucky doll he was selling. Jake and his friends are trying to stop Chucky, and ask how they can find him. Andy replies that Chucky will find them and if he can't he will get to them by killing their family, which causes Kyle to mention that Chucky killed their foster parents. Before hanging up, Andy has Jake text him his location so they can begin the drive to Hackensack.

After driving for six hours, Kyle and Andy stop at a gas station. While he refills the gas, she goes into the store and buys a pack of cigarettes and black leather gloves for the both of them. As Kyle puts on her gloves, Andy gets into the car, locks her door and drives away, leaving her at the gas station so he can face Chucky alone. However, Kyle somehow makes her way to Hackensack and to the Cross residence. She manages to stop Chucky from attacking Jake and Lexy by shooting him directly in the face, and then finishes him off by shooting him in the chest. Over coffee, she informs them about Chucky's ability to split his soul into multiple vessels and that he needs to use an identical vessel, that being a Good Guy doll. She also claims that if Chucky can corrupt even one innocent child and get them to kill, he can create an entire army. Jake tells her that Devon is being held captive at Charles Lee Ray's childhood home, and needs her help to rescue him. But unknown to him and Lexy, Kyle had drugged their coffees causing them to lose consciousness. Before they fall asleep, Kyle apologizes and tells them that she needed to do this to keep them safe.

Kyle arrives at Charles' house and calls out for Andy. She hears the voice of a child inside yelling for help and opens the front door, unaware that it was booby-trapped. The house is destroyed in a fiery explosion, with Kyle presumed to be dead. However, the next day her black glove is seen on a tree as she watches over Jake, Devon and Lexy while they visit the graveyard.

Chucky: Season 2 (2022)

KyleVan

Kyle's return.

Kyle is contacted by Glen and Glenda, with the plan to rescue Nica from Tiffany's mansion in Beverly Hills. By distracting Tiffany with a surprise party held by her friends, the twins are able to sneak Nica out and into Kyle's van that is waiting just outside the front gate. There is a slight change of plans as Glen changes their mind and decides to stay behind, so Kyle, Glenda and Nica leave without them.

They head for Incarnate Lord, as the Chucky in Nica's head has told her that there is someone there who will help them separate. During the journey, they stop at a hotel for the night. In the morning, she and Nica watch the news while they discuss Andy, as Kyle still firmly believes he is alive. She also reveals that the reason for her coming to Los Angeles in the first place was because she thought Tiffany may have kidnapped him. She then asks Nica to speak with Chucky, and cuts open her palm to force him forward. Holding a gun at Chucky, she demands to know what happened to Andy, and does not believe him when he tells her he killed him. Turning to Glenda, Chucky asks them to kill Kyle for him, swatting the gun from her hands for Glenda to take. However, Glenda hesitates and asks Kyle to get rid of him. After slapping Chucky in the face, Nica regains control. As this happens, the news reports that Jennifer Tilly and her children, Glen and Glenda, are wanted for questioning in connection to the multiple homicides that occurred at her burned down mansion.

Glenda, Kyle and Nica arrive at Incarnate Lord at midnight, as Dr. Mixter is holding the kids at gunpoint over Chucky. Just then, Kyle arrives with her own gun, and works out a plan with Dr. Mixter to perform an exorcism on Good Chucky to allow Nica and the Chucky inside her to separate. While everyone prepares for the exorcism, Kyle and Andy finally take the time to properly reunite. They hug, and she warns him that if he ever does something as stupid as abandoning her at the gas station again she will kill him herself.

In the evening, the exorcism commences. Everyone restrains Chucky as they chant and Father Bryce throws holy water on him. Eventually Chucky's soul is freed from the doll, at the expense of Father Bryce who is possessed and his body exploded by Chucky, killing them both. They then proceed with the soul transfer, separating the Chucky from Nica's body and allowing him to possess the Good Guy doll. Dr. Mixter takes Chucky and the two make their way out of Incarnate Lord. Before they leave the school, Andy runs behind them and shoots Chucky in the jaw causing Dr. Mixter to drop him. Andy continues shooting Chucky until he is finally dead. As his body is set on fire, Andy and Kyle wonder what they will do with the rest of their lives.
