Kimberly Corman

Kimberly was born in White Plains, New York to Michael Corman. She is very close to her father, especially after her mother's death during a carjacking at a shopping mall. Kimberly continues to blame herself for what happened since she stayed behind to watch a news feed on Tod Waggner's death, while her mother was killed.

Kimberly attended State University of New York at Purchase, aka SUNY Purchase, with her friends Shaina, Dano and Frankie, and was originally going to spend her spring break with her friends in Daytona Beach, Florida. However, Death had other plans...

Kimberly decides to take Route 23 for the road trip to Daytona Beach. Before entering the highway, Kimberly has an ominous premonition of a massive deadly pile-up caused by a log truck. Desperate to stop what she saw in her vision of the impending pile-up, she parks her car the on ramp to prevent other drivers from entering the highway. Moments later, she and the other drivers watch as the pile-up occurs. To her surprise, a truck smashes into her SUV, killing her friends, whilst State Patrol Trooper, Thomas Burke, pulls her out of the way in time. Afterwards, Kimberly and other survivors are interrogated by Thomas Burke at the police station. There, Kimberly explains the similarities between her vision and Alex Browning's and expresses her fear that Death will still be after the survivors.

The survivors disregard her theory, until survivor Evan Lewis dies in his apartment later that day. Kimberly gets the help of Clear Rivers, the only remaining survivor of Flight 180 to save the other survivors of the pile-up, but Kimberly calls Clear a "coward" for not helping the remaining survivors. Later that day, Thomas and Kimberly fail to save Tim Carpenter from getting crushed by a falling glass pane.

Clear then decides to help the survivors and leads Kimberly and Thomas to mortician William Bludworth, who claims that only new life can defeat Death. Kimberly concludes that if pregnant survivor Isabella Hudson has her baby it will break Death's list, and they will all be safe.

The other survivors reunite at Thomas' apartment to look after one another until Isabella has her baby. After Nora Carpenter's death, the others leave to find Isabella. Along the way their van's tire suffers a blow out and they crash onto a nearby farm. After Eugene Dix is rushed to the hospital after getting impaled by a PVC pipe, Kat Jennings and Rory Peters each meet their demise. Kimberly, Thomas, and Clear rush to the hospital, and Kimberly has another vision that Dr. Ellen Kalarjian will strangle Isabella. After Thomas immobilizes Dr. Kalarjian, they see Isabella give birth and believe they have cheated Death. However, after Kimberly has another vision of someone with bloody hands in a submerging van, she realizes that Isabella was not meant to die in the pile-up.

After Eugene and Clear are incinerated in an oxygen explosion (which also nearly kills both Thomas and Kimberly by sending a trolley towards them), Kimberly decides to commit suicide by drowning herself. Luckily, Thomas manages to rescue her, and she is resuscitated by Dr. Kalarjian, thus granting her "New Life". Sometime later she and Thomas go to a picnic with the Gibbons family, who tells them that if it wasn't for Rory their son Brian would be dead, causing Kimberly and Thomas look at each other in horror, Brian is dismembered by a barbecue grill explosion moments later.

Name: Kimberly Corman

Born: 22 March, 1981 White Plains, New York

Age: 19 (As of Final Destination 2)

Gender: Female

Height: 5'7

Weight: 55 kg (121.25 lbs)

Build: Toned, athletic physique; petite build

Measurements: 34B-24-34

Hair colour and length: Collarbone-length dark brown hair

Eye colour: Blue

Facial features: Kimberly is a beautiful woman with collarbone-length dark brown hair, blue eyes, and oval and heart-shaped face, a slightly wider forehead, a narrow jawline that gets narrower towards the chin, and a toned, athletic physique and petite build. She looks like her live-action counterpart portrayed by A.J. Cook.

Throughout the movie, Kimberly was seen wearing:

1. A Puma track jacket with a light blue base body with black contrast panels running down the inner sleeves, around the collar, down the sides, and around the waist, worn over a blue-and-white horizontally striped shirt, paired with blue jeans and a double prong brown belt.

2. A light blue shirt, a classic cream-colored (or light beige) single-breasted mid-length trench coat with a blue denim jacket under it

3. A V-neck halter dress with a floral or patterned print during the cookout scene in the movie

4. Throughout the movie, she was seen wearing a blue and purple beaded Y-style necklace featuring an oval photo pendant

Her specific dress style breaks down into the following styles:

• Sporty Casual: Her iconic light blue Puma track jacket paired with a striped shirt and jeans is the textbook definition of early-2000s sporty everyday wear.

• Girl Next Door: The simple halter sundress and classic denim looks emphasize an unpretentious, effortless, and wholesome style.

• Classic Casual: The cream mid-length trench coat leans into a more structured, timeless, and clean-cut wardrobe.

At the start of the movie, Kimberly was seen driving a bright red 1996 Chevrolet Tahoe. This was her personal car, and she loved it.

Unfortunately, it was destroyed after being t-boned by the truck that was supposed to kill her during the Route 23 Pileup. Her friends, Shaina, Dano, and Frankie were killed in this car when it was t-boned by the truck in question.

Like A.J. Cook, the actress that portrayed Kimberly Corman and was 24-25 years old during the filming of Final Destination 2, Kimberly, being 19 years old, has a slightly higher pitched voice that is naturally youthful with a clear and resonant quality. She has a neutral American accent with a slight Canadian accent.

Kimberly Corman is a strong, determined, resilient, and resourceful young woman. She is particularly driven by her mother's death and her own sense of guilt, which pushes her to survive and protect others. She isn't broken or fragile; she carries the quiet weight of survival but channels her trauma into staying alert and grounded. She is a "fight" responder who acts decisively under pressure.

Kimberly's mother was shot and killed in a carjacking because she—Kimberly—had delayed meeting her mother outside a mall to watch a news broadcast about Tod Waggner's death. This caused Kimberly to carry Survivor's Guilt over her mother's death, and forced her to grow up quickly, which has made her into a resilient, practical, and determined individual.

She is quick-thinking and resourceful; demonstrating the ability to react quickly in dangerous situations, like blocking the on-ramp to try and prevent the pile-up.

She doesn't hesitate to question and challenge others, including Clear Rivers, demonstrating her independent nature and willingness to fight for her beliefs.

Despite all this, Kimberly demonstrates a fun-loving side as shown when she was on a road trip with Shaina, Dano and Frankie to spend spring break down in Daytona. Just before the Route 23 pileup.

Kimberly developed PTSD after the events of Final Destination 2.

• Core Trauma:

• Witnessed her mother’s death in a prior carjacking.

• Watched her best friends die in the Route 23 highway pileup.

• Witnessed the death of several other survivors.

• Intentionally drowned herself in a lake to break Death's design before being resuscitated.

• PTSD Symptoms & Manifestations:

• Passenger Anxiety: Kimberly has intense control-anxiety when riding in a car driven by someone else. Because she survived by taking the wheel, she only feels safe when she is the one driving.

• Hyper-Safe Driving: She is an excellent, hyper-focused driver. She maintains extreme following distances and actively avoids driving behind logging trucks, flatbeds, or construction vehicles.

• Functional Hypervigilance: Instead of panicking, she channels her anxiety into safety. She naturally scans public spaces for structural hazards, loose objects, or blocked exits.

• The Vision Paradox: She occasionally suffers flashbacks of her psychic premonitions—waking memories of horrific accidents that felt 100% real, forcing her to actively ground herself in reality.

• Aquaphobia: She experiences an involuntary panic response to being completely submerged in deep water (like lakes or pools) due to her past clinical drowning. (She is perfectly fine with rain and showers).

• Active Coping Mechanisms:

• Grounding: Uses the 5-4-3-2-1 sensory method to snap out of sudden flashbacks.

• Audio Triggers: At first, Kimberly absolutely cannot stand listening to AC/DC's "Highway to Hell"—the song she heared on the radio before the Route 23 Pileup. Hearing even the first few notes of that opening guitar riff, let alone hearing the chorus, will trigger an immediate, full-blown panic attack, cold sweats, and a terrifying flashback of when a truck t-boned her 1996 Chevrolet Tahoe during the pileup. Narrowly missing her due to being pulled out of the way by Thomas Burke in time, but killing her friends, Shaina, Dano, and Frankie, who were still in the car when it was t-boned.

• Meticulous Care: She keeps her room at home, her college dorm, and her car (whenever she has one) in flawless mechanical condition to maintain a sense of predictability and safety.

Throughout the series, Death comes in the form of overly complex freak accidents to kill off survivors of a major disaster they were originally supposed to die in as well as in the order they would have died in said disaster. If somebody intervenes in a person's death, then Death will cheat by skipping that person and moving on to the next before returning to that person to complete the rift in its design, although the order has been shown to reverse itself. In Final Destination 2, the death order of those who were supposed to die in the Route 23 pile up was reversed due to the deaths of the Flight 180 survivors.

There are also a few cases where someone's death comes before (or after) another victim on the list for an unexplained reason (Gunter Nonhoff most notably). Death will, however, seemingly make implausible situations when someone deliberately trying to commit suicide will ultimately fail, as seen when Eugene Dix tries to shoot himself in the head with a fully loaded six shot revolver, only for every bullet to be a misfire.

Usually there are mysterious clues as to how the next person will die, its most common form being a brief gust of spontaneous wind. Other clues range from pictures or brief images or signs or an odd formation of something on the ground. The clues could be about anything on how they die (i.e. the word "EYE" for Evan Lewis, a series of cracks in the ground that look like a skeletal hand for Hal Ward, the song "Rocky Mountain High" for various situations, or nothing but a dark, black shadow that appears out of nowhere).

Death also has a handful of servants who unintentionally (in some cases on purpose) kill a person on Death's list. Additionally, Death does not appear to be above killing others to hasten its acquisition of survivors, with Tom Gaines theorizing the entity is perfectly willing to "sneak souls" when the opportunity to do so arises. There have been mixed theories in what Death will do if the survivor with premonitions deliberately kills him/herself despite not being next on the list. Ian McKinley had a theory that, if the last on Death's list (usually the person with the premonitions) kills him/herself, it would ruin Death's plans, since the survivor isn't next to die.

It has been suggested that it would ruin Death's list and save everyone else still alive from the accident. In an alternate ending in The Final Destination, Nick kills himself, ruining Death's design. However, at the very end of it, the final two survivors of the McKinley Speedway accident died at the exact same moment, meaning Death would just kill the rest of the survivors without hesitation based on the design they were supposed to die. Or, like what happened to Eugene Dix, the last would not be able to kill themselves.

In the alternate ending of Final Destination, Alex saves Clear from an electric wire on the front of the car, therefore, he was caught on fire and died, ruining Death's design. After this, Clear and Carter both lived the rest of their lives in peace, meaning that the final survivors of Flight 180 actually defeated Death. It was not clear what Death would actually do if this situation happened, since these situations only happened in alternate endings.

It should be noted however that in Final Destination 3, it took five months after Ian's death for Train 081 to happen, meaning that in the alternate ending of Final Destination the reason Clear and Carter survived is because the scene showed could have been before five months passed or because Clear gave birth to a baby, as it was mentioned in Final Destination 2 that if someone who was supposed to die in an accident but survived gave birth, all the remaining survivors would live. William Bludworth himself said that "only new life defeats Death".

It should also be noted that Death can be somewhat confused. In The Final Destination, Nick's vision showed that Hunt and Janet would die at the same time. Death attempted to kill Janet three times. However, the first time, she saved herself, the second time Lori saved her, and the third time, Death was just too late. After this, Janet should have been the last, because she cheated death yet again. However, the order was slightly scrambled, and Janet died between George and Lori. However, it can also be assumed that Death created a new list involving George, Lori, Nick, and Janet.

Note: Death, in the Final Destination series, makes its presence known via dark silhouettes, distorted mirrors, or a huge gust of wind that comes as fast as it goes. These precede an attack where Death tries to kill you in a complex chain of events leading to a fatal freak accident. WATCH OUT!
