Character: Katherine Anne "Kitty" Pryde
Fandom: X-Men [ Movie Verse ]
Character Notes:
History: Kitty was born in Illinois, seemingly an average and normal girl until the age of thirteen. The first sign that something was wrong started when Kitty began to develop headaches, something which later strengthened before her ability manifested itself. Kitty has the ability of phasing, allowing her to move through objects - for example walking through walls - by altering the vibratory rates of her atoms. During a phase Kitty is completely intangible, allowing objects to pass through her or her through them without harm coming to either. Kitty is also able to use this ability with others, altering another's atoms to allow something to pass through them also but only whilst she is touching them. Other than objects, Kitty can also use her ability to move through electrical fields, interfering with them as she does. Kitty's first meeting with another mutant was with that of Professor Charles Xavier, the founder of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. She eventually went to school there where she has been for the past three years. She's been training with her professors and the other students, training to use her abilities and to work as a team to protect others - training to become the next generation of X-Men.
Personality: When Kitty first met Charles Xavier - her future professor - she was initially weary of him and his wish for her to join Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. Whilst Kitty was at first weary and unsure of this, he ultimately managed to convince her to go with him to find out who she is whilst exploring and learning to control her gift. At the school, as well as learning how to phase at will and extending her abilities onto others, Kitty proved to be a smart girl, excelling in subject areas. Her friendly, and often bubbly, personality allowed her to quickly make friends and even gain romantic interests and she was briefly involved in a relationship with a fellow student named Colossus. With her friends Kitty is a confident girl though at certain times, even with her friends, she will become unsure of herself and second guess herself too. The support from her friends as well as their friendship helps to reassure Kitty's beliefs and they have helped to make her stronger as a person, strengthening the girl that she is as well as her determination. Kitty wishes to help others and partakes in the training sessions in the Danger Room, training to become one of the new X-Men so that she may help as previous X-Men also have.
In the face of danger Kitty has shown herself to be rather gutsy and instinctual, able to use her ability under pressure and with quick thought. When faced with trouble, for example when Kitty rescued Leech from the Juggernaut, Kitty was able to come up with a quick solution when it was shown that her own ability was unable to work due to Leech's, her idea using that knowledge to also counteract the Juggernaut's so that they would be able to escape. While Kitty may not be tough in a physical sense, she is mentally and tries not to let danger scare her quite so much.
It is unknown as to whether Kitty's parents are still alive or whether they are part of the group which are not only afraid of but are also, in a sense, disgusted by mutants. In a conversation with Bobby after Professor Xavier had died, Kitty mentioned that she had no one or anything but the school. Despite her sadness around this, as well as that of the situation, one of Kitty's fondest memories of home is when it snows, particularly the first snow. Kitty is a skilled ice skater and skates when she wishes to relax or to relieve herself of tension or bad feelings.
Kitty is also a very morally strong and though her ability can be used for harm Kitty has no intentions or wish to harm anyone. She's seen and fully understands the fear regarding mutants without wishing to add to that herself and any training that she does she uses for a protective nature, to protect herself, other mutants and humans harmed by mutants. One of the things that Kitty would love to see - as well as the general mutant consensus - is peace between mutants and humans. Whilst things are becoming better, a mutant holds a high political standing, the president is understanding and humans are becoming more educated, full peace has yet to be fully achieved, something which - for Kitty - looks a little less likely through recent acts. Though she believes this it will not stop her from being who she is - she is a mutant first and is becoming prouder of that fact with every good thing which happens due to mutant acts. Kitty is also of Jewish heritage from her paternal grandfather, though whether she is religiously Jewish or just culturally is unknown, though no one has seen her practise or speak of religion.
Kitty is studious, open minded, kind, helpful, friendly, she always tries her best/hardest, is quickly deterred by failure, quick thinker on her feet, resourceful and a strong person (she doesn't let mutant hate get to her). Sometimes her kindhearted nature can make her seem naive and possibly a little gullible. She has weaker moments (such as letting the hate effect her) and isn't used to the outdoors and - due to her age and protection - has experienced little (other than her education and mutant abilities/training) in her life.

First Person (entry type): I'm a mutant. It basically means that there's something different with me - I have an ability. Some see it as a gift, some as a curse but every one is different. At home there was talk about a cure. It wasn't entirely that but... it became that. I think it's stupid and it's like Storm said, we're not a disease. It's like any genetic condition but instead of something being wrong something's just different. It's scary but we are who we are, I don't think we should change that. [ She sighs ] I know people who would want to though - mutants - and I can see why. Not everyone can just fit in, and not every ability is that safe or easy to control. Those reasons I understand but it should be our choice, not forced on us or made as public as it was so that we feel like we don't have one. Some people are just too afraid - that's all it is. Fear. And it works both ways.
Third Person: Ice skating had been a nice distraction. It was brief, a small remembrance of more pleasant days. Darker days were coming, that Kitty knew. They'd fought Magneto before - had even worked with him - but Xavier had been with them then. Kitty felt lost. She couldn't help but feel that and she felt no shame in admitting it. Xavier had been the first mutant that she'd met, the person that had convinced her to come to the school - encouraged her to be herself. For the first time since her powers had developed she'd been able to feel and be herself, and it made hdoer happy.
Kitty knew that days like that would come again. Maybe not straight away, maybe not even for a few months but by working together and remembering everything that he'd taught them? Kitty knew in her heart that they'd get through it all. They just had to get through this, first.
Training over the past few weeks hadn't been their best moments. They'd been a little uncoordinated, susceptible to surprise and at times distracted. Logan was right to think that they weren't ready for this - she was even wondering it. But they had nothing else. They were the only ones that had been training.
The only ones left. Scott... Xavier... they were gone, and now they had to take their place. Be the new X-Men.
Kitty wasn't confident. She knew what she could do, she knew what they could also do but that was individually. As a team? They'd have to pull through when it counted, and it would count.
"We have to do it." Even if they couldn't do it they had to. They had to at least try. That was what counted.
