Shadowcat

Character Name: Kitty Pryde
Character Aliases: Shadowcat, Sprite, Ariel, Half-Pint, Kitten
Gender: Female
Age Bracket: 18

Cast Description: Kitty is a pretty young woman in her late teens. Curly brown hair tumbles down on either side of her face, and she often ties it into a ponytail in the back during moments of high intensity. When it comes to fashion, Kitty will never be seen without her favorite accessory: a golden Star of David that she wears on a necklace around her neck. As a registered mutant, she also sports an M tattoo near her hairline.

Personality: Kitty is a young woman of passion and adventure above all else. She throws herself completely into anything she sets out to accomplish, seeming to care little for recognition and praise but rather seeks the satisfaction of a job well done. This may not be immediately apparent depending on her mood at the time. She is well-known by her friends for her masterful command of wit and sarcasm.

Mutant Powers: Kitty's primary ability is to phase out of sync with reality, allowing her to access a number of applications. The most apparent of these is the ability to allow herself to become incorporeal and allow things to pass through her. Of course, walking through walls is the obvious application, and this extends to many other possibilities such as phasing objects through a person, phasing people into floors or walls, or her ability to phase through electronics to cause them to shut-down. Another trick Kitty can perform is the ability to literally walk on air, though this is typically a slow and impractical application of her powers. All of these abilities require concentration, and lack of concentration could lead to either returning to a solid state when incorporeal, or unconsciously becoming incorporeal.

Non Mutant Abilities: Kitty Pryde is a genius, and her skill with computers is nearly unmatched. Though she has not finished any doctorate programs, she has finished several master programs through various institutions in things such as computer science, engineering, and math. She puts these skills to good use in the field and is able to teach them to others. She is also a fairly skilled dancer and has kept up her childhood hobby into the present, though she's slightly out of practice currently. Her other hobbies include fencing, blogging, and other nerdy passions that she often hides from the 'uninitiated.'

Weaknesses: Though she seems to hide it well, Kitty can become a bit obsessive at times. When her passions reach such a point that everything else seems to fade in their wake, she has a tendency to push other people away, leave teams, or even travel for an extended period of time which could make her seem disloyal or flighty. Additionally, she is terribly stubborn, and this can make her seem obstinate, particularly if she is refusing to budge over something that may seem petty. Emotions, whether worn on her sleeve or hidden behind a disapproving glare, run strong in Kitty, and she gets all of the benefits and drawbacks of feeling everything so strongly. This is a lynch-pin in combat situations as well, and a solid tactic to defeat her is to distract her enough that she loses concentration on her abilities.


Previous History: Kitty Pryde was recruited to the X-Men at the tender age of thirteen, being the first of Scott and Emma's recruits- recruited only a few months after what Kitty calls the 'Bad Times', when Charles Xavier and most of the Original X-Men were killed or displaced. Due to the fact that the Summers almost see her as another daughter at this point, Kitty Pryde now serves as the liaison between the students and faculty as well as field team leader.
