How Did Kochanski end up on Red Dwarf

Kochanski was orginally one of the Red Dwarf crew, Lister and her had a short romance which ended after she dumped him and started going out with Tim who is one of the chefs.
Lister goes on shore leave to forget about Kochanski and her wonderful smile, and brings back a very cute little black cat from Mimas.
In Listers Universe he manages to smuggle in an unquarantined animal but in the alternative universe, Kochanski finds the cat and but rather than disintergate it, she keeps it and gets caught eventually.
She is then put into supended animaition much the same way that Lister did in his universe and therefore survives the radiation leak.

Noteable facts about Kochanski

After leaving cyber school she bacame a retro-punk.

Could be compared to a rusty gate.

Was nearly driven insane by those clapped-out old pipes, 'Nurieek'ing and 'rotut'ing, and just when you expect them to 'nurieek' again, they 'sqweloookle'!

Is trying hard to fit in, even trying to learn what off-side is.

Has a teddy bear called Booboo.
