Kitty "Shadowcat" Pryde
[/font][/size][/color]"I'm totally cool. I'm totally calm and I'm totally cool. My calm is exceeded only by my cool. Which is total."
.....................................................................
Full Name:
Katherine Anne Pryde, but please call her Kitty.
Code Name:
She's had a few. Professor Xavier wanted to call her Shadowcat, but Ororo picked Sprite. Later, she went by Ariel, Professor X's original choice, and then, finally after a whooooole bunch of stuff went down in Japan, she chose Shadowcat. She likes it best because it's the first name that she chose. Peter calls her Katya. Various other names she's been called by other people are Kitten, Punkin, Cat, Lion, Kätzchen, and Half-Pint.
Age:
23. Want and she can give you down to the minute. ((OOC Note: I wasn't really sure what to put because is always so subjective in comics. I found a writer saying that that she was below the legal drinking age and always had been, but that was also back in 2000, so there you go. So I'm more than willing to change her age depending on what y'all think. I like having her younger, myself.))
Date of Birth:
April 5th. Her dad liked to call her his reminder to file his taxes.
Sexual Orientation:
Het. Very much het.
Species:
Mutant.
Alliance:
Oh, golly, there have been a bunch of those, haven't there? Currently, she's an X-Man.
Citizenship:
Marvel at the girl from Marvel, why don'cha?
Canon or Original?:
Canon Marvel.
"Victory is MINE Baldy!
And if you had any hair I'd take that too!"
And if you had any hair I'd take that too!"
Hair:
Kitty's hair is a neither dark nor light brown. When the light catches it just right, it looks more reddish. Other times, it has more golden highlights. Mostly, though, her hair is stubbornly brown and refuses to change to a colour with a prettier sounding name. Like Chestnut. Kitty would be perfectly happy with Chestnut coloured hair. If, you know. Hair was what made her happy. She's kept her hair roughly the same length since she was a kid, with it usually somewhere between shoulder length and elbow length, not counting that nasty episode in Japan when Ogun possessed her and cut her hair. It's naturally wavy-ish but mostly straight, and she usually keeps it down or in a ponytail. Maybe she'll braid it sometime. And get jokes about Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz and how she's not in Kansas any more, even though Judy Garland had pigtails in the movie.
Eyes:
Kitty's eyes are big and wide, fringed in thick lashes, and usually give her an air of innocence. They're hazel, but gravitating more towards the golden spectrum of hazel rather than outright green hazel. Especially if she gets pissed. Sometimes, they look to be almost a light blue, though.
Height:
Five foot five inches. She likes her height, for the most part. Poor Peter had to pretty much bend in half to kiss her, but he'd probably have to do that with pretty much any girl. She's tall enough to reach things from the top shelf even without walking on air, and small enough to still give the illusion of fragile and delicate, which definitely can come in handy in a fight.
Weight:
Dude. Bit of advice that might save your life. Never ask a woman her weight. Her driver's license says 110. Reality says, probably closer to 120. Shut up.
Distinguishing Marks:
One of the benefits to being able to phase is that it's really hard for her to actually get scarred. She has the same kind of scars that everyone else does; the remnants from falling off her bike and skinning her knees, a light one on her arm from when she dropped the iron and burned herself, that kind of thing, but considering her lifestyle, she's pretty free of scars. She gets a bunch of freckles in the summer, she has her ears pierced, and one tattoo on her butt that only Peter's seen so far, of a panther and a dragon yin yang. And if anyone else finds out about it, she'll know exactly who to blame for that knowledge.
Appearance:
Kitty's pretty sure that there's something in the mutant gene that makes girls unnaturally pretty and make them look like they should be on the cover of a magazine. And then there's her. She has the girl next door look down pat, and the only way her picture's ever going to wind up in a magazine is if it were to make the models look even prettier. As a teenager, she'd look at people like Jean Gray and Ororo, and wish that she was as tall as them, or as curvy, or have Ororo's exotic features or Jean's cheekbones. It's really hard growing up in a house full of people, with girls who look like that. But for the most part, Kitty likes how she looks and is comfortable in her own skin. Sure, she's not a stick with boobs, but she's okay with that. She's not going to starve herself or something to have a body type she's not meant to have. Because of all the physical training and stuff she does, as well as the years of dance, she's pretty muscular. She'll never be able to beat one of the guys in an arm wrestling contest, and beating Marie in one is out of the question, but she can hold her own against most of the girls.
She's pale and prone to freckling, but if she spends her time in the sun just right in the summer, she can actually have a pretty decent tan by the end of summer. 'Course, within a month, it's gone and she looks like she spends most of her time at a computer. She looks a lot younger than she is, probably one of the reasons that people still see her as innocent. Those people don't really know her very well, though, if they think so. She's very much a jeans and a tee-shirt kind of girl. Or make that jeans and a leather jacket, because motorcycles are all kinds of awesome.

I don’t even like the ones I have”
I don’t even like the ones I have”
Likes:
- Computers. Sometimes, computers make a lot more sense than people. If you use the right kind of code, you can basically get a computer to do anything you want it to, provided it has the capability to do so. People... don't have html code.
- Dance. Ororo took her to Stevie Hunter's dance school first, and that's around the time that Kitty fell in love with dance. She likes being able to work out aggression in a healthier manner than fighting. She likes being able to get her body to do exactly what she wants it to do. If she can't do something at first, she'll keep working at it until she can. Plus, dancing is just plain fun.
- Languages. Kitty's always had a head for languages. Her great aunt, Chava Rosanoff, was placed in Auschwitz, where she died. During World War Two, it wasn't really safe for Germans in America, even if they were Jewish, so her grandparents didn't speak German unless they were alone in their house. After the war, though, they made sure that Kitty's father could speak German fluently, and when Kitty was born, they taught her, too. It's one of Kitty's ways of not forgetting what her family has been through. Due to the sitch with Ogun, and training with Wolverine afterwards, she became fluent in Japanese, though that's gotten a little rusty in the years of disuse.
- Lockheed. Of course she likes Lockheed! He's the best alien dragon ever!
- Martial Arts. She likes Martial Arts for a lot of the same reasons she likes dancing. She likes being able to get her body to respond exactly how she wants it to. And, yeah, she likes being able to fight. She's just not geared to sit around passively and wait to be rescued, and since she's just not the kind of person to stay out of a fight, she'd really like to be as effective as she possibly can.
Dislikes:
- Sentinels. Lose a family member to a Sentinel, and you tend to not like them. When that family member is your father, you tend to really not like them.
- The anti-mutant movement. That should be pretty self-explanatory. The way people treat mutants reminds her entirely too much of everything her family went through during the Holocaust, and that feeling just doesn't sit well with her.
- The extremists in the above, such as William Stryker and Donald Pierce. Kitty doesn't classify herself as an angry person, though Lord knows she can hold onto a grudge. That being said, she'd not only be perfectly happy with the deaths of William Stryker and Donald Pierce, she'd be perfectly okay with being the one to cause those deaths. ...And then she'd deal with the fact that she didn't feel guilty over it like she probably should, but they'd be dead, and that's the important part.
- Facebook games. They're addictive, and before she knows it, it's taken over her life. Not literally.
- Emma Frost. She's sort of kind of quasi trying to get over that dislike, but... people say that the first impression is the most important, and Kitty's first impression of Emma Frost isn't something Kitty's going to be able to overcome easily.
Personality:
For the most part, Kitty's a happy person, though that's something she works at. Not to say that she's not naturally happy and kind, but sometimes, it's harder to be happy than other times. When she's alone, she can get down on herself sometimes, but if someone else comes around, the smile goes back on her face and she's back to being the happy Kitty that everyone knows and loves. She's come a long way from the sullen teenager that could throw a temper tantrum when she didn't get her way. She listens to people who know better, but she's not afraid to raise her voice and make herself be heard if she's one of the people who knows better.
At first glance, she can appear very scatter-brained, preferring to work on multiple projects at a time and have them all scattered around her, but on a closer look, she's able to concentrate better by working on all of them at once and she keeps her things organized as she works.
Kitty's a very friendly sort. She figures that it's easier to be friendly than to be mad and off-putting. That isn't to say that she trusts easily. After everything she's been through, trusting people without reason would be stupid, and Kitty is a lot of things, but stupid isn't one of them. She's just really good at not pointing out how little she trusts someone. She trusts her team (for the most part). She trusts her friends. But she doesn't call someone her friend until she's sure that they actually are and that she can trust them.
"With great power comes great responsibility"
Powers:
- Phasing. Kitty was 13 when she phased by accident, just trying to get rid of the blinding headache she had. She wound up falling through her bed and bedroom floor, landing in the living room. Luckily, her clothes went with her. From the very beginning, she's been able to phase her clothes with her. With a little bit of practice, she was able to make any object in her hand intangible with her. All her other powers are a subset of the phasing.
- Side-along Phasing. Going from taking other objects intangible with her to causing other people to go intangible with her wasn't planned. Kitty had been practicing with taking things with her, and then... things happened, and before Kitty knew it, she was tackling someone and phasing them through a wall with her.
- Invisibility. Kitty can blend into the colours and such of the background around her, effectively becoming invisible. She's still tangible, though, unless she phases. ((OOC Note: Don't actually know if invisibility is only for when she's phasing. I tried to find out, but interwebz was unhelpful for that part.))
- Air and Water walking. Kitty can use her phasing ability to walk on air, or even across water. This is one reason why no one at the school hides cookies in high places anymore; between her ability to air-walk into high areas and all the telekinetics running around, it's just not that practical.
- Electronic Disruption. When Kitty phases through anything electrical, it disrupts the circuitry.
- Resistance to Telepathy. While Kitty's phased, her thoughts are erratic, and even the most skilled of telepaths find it difficult to read her. However, resistant doesn't mean impervious. She can still be attacked psychically.
- Side-along Phasing. Going from taking other objects intangible with her to causing other people to go intangible with her wasn't planned. Kitty had been practicing with taking things with her, and then... things happened, and before Kitty knew it, she was tackling someone and phasing them through a wall with her.
Weapons
Does Lockheed count? Because he totally should. Logan gave her a broken piece of one of his bone claws once, and she carries it with her at all times, using it as a weapon when necessary.
Strengths/Abilities:
- Genius level IQ. Kitty is smart. Kitty is very smart. She's been taking college legel classes since she was thirteen, and studied computer sciences and physics. You don't study those things in college unless you're smart enough to handle it and stupid enough to think you can. Kitty's scary smart. In another life, she could have easily been a child prodigy.
- Multi-lingual. As stated before, Kitty's always had a head for languages. Due to various reasons, she's been fluent in:
- German, which she still uses
- Japanese, though that's gotten rusty in disuse
- Russian, which she uses with Peter sometimes
- Shi'ar, though she's forgotten most of it now
- Skrull, but she only remembers random words now
- Binary
- C+ and C++
- HTML. BBCode is the limping hunchback cousin of HTML.
- German, which she still uses
- Computers. Computers make sense. She's an expert in programming, diagnosing and modifying almost any computer system, even things not from Earth. She's usually given first crack at a computer, given her aptitude for it. ...She might also be on the FBI watch list of hackers. And by "might", she means "most likely definitely is". But S.H.I.E.L.D.'s been able to keep her out of too much trouble for that.
Weaknesses:
- Mystical Vulnerability. Phasing's fantastic at things, and while she's fairly impervious to telepathic attacks, she's still susceptible to mystical ones.
- Phasing has limitations. The biggie is that she can really only phase for as long as she can hold her breath (though there are the exceptions to the rule, such as when she was stuck in a freaking bullet). Denser things are harder to phase through and take longer, and can even be painful to phase through. Adamantium is a bitch go phase. The other thing to keep in mind is, phasing is an active ability. She has to think about it to do it. If she doesn't see an attack coming and she's not already phased, she's going to get hurt. And probably badly.
- Physical strength. She's in great shape, and pretty strong for a girl her size. But a girl her size is really only going to be so strong, and chances are, the people Kitty faces off against are probably going to be at least twice as strong as her, if not more. She can not rely on physical strength.

History:
((OOC Note: My Kitty is predominently comic book version, and I know that the Scott Summers here is predominently movie verse, and I'm totally cool with coming up with all kinds of meta to make both possible if I need to; the two easiest solutions to go with would be that Kitty's been dealing with a clone or something, or that when the DC and Marvel universes collided, all the DC and Marvel 'verses combined, but there are, of course, other possibilities available, and I'm completely willing to work with whomever I need to to figure things out, I promise.)) Also, I got most of my information about her history from the Marvel wikia. There are some bits of history I just don't know that much about myself, so I'm sorry if I messed anything up.
Kitty was born on a bright spring day in Deerfield, Illinois. It was just her and her parents, and the three of them were happy together. Maybe Kitty was a little spoiled, but nothing major. Kitty was a precocious kid, and her teachers at the private school she went to worked with her parents to help her learn at her own speed, rather than have to wait on the other kids in her class. Kitty wasn't really aware of the fact that she was smarter than the majority of her classmates, which is probably a good thing, or she could have easily been insufferable to them.
When she was thirteen, she started having horrible headaches. Unbeknownst to her, the headaches were a result of her mutant abilities manifesting. Professor Xavier, Colossus, Storm and Wolverine came to talk to her and her parents. The three X-Men were captured by Emma Frost and her Hellfire Club. Kitty was instrumental in helping them escape and she's had a strong bond with Peter, Logan and Ororo ever since. She has a solid friend in Ororo, an older brother in Logan and... Peter is just Peter. She's dated other guys, but she keeps measuring guys against him. That's probably not fair to the other guys, but... she can't help it. She keeps coming back to Peter.
Kitty's parents let her go to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, and she became a member of the X-Men team. She spent a lot of time training while the team was on missions, and okay, yeah, she threw a few temper tantrums, which was probably a big reason the others saw her as a bit of a spoiled brat. "Bit of a spoiled brat" in the same sense that a blizzard is a "bit of snowfall".
After Kitty lost her grip on Illyana for a few moments, the six year old came back the same age as Kitty. The two of them became best friends and roommates, and Illyana took up dance at Stevie Hunter's studio with Kitty. Kitty spending so much time with his little sister resulted in Kitty and Peter spending more time together and getting closer to each other.
The Brood implanted embryos in all the X-Men and Kitty met Lockheed. Luckily, Storm had a connection to the Acanti that saved them. Kitty and Illyana were captured by Stryker's Purifiers, but Kitty managed to evade capture long enough to alert the X-Men, who, along with Magneto, rescued them as well as Scott and Ororo on Stryker's base. Scott debated with Stryker on TV about what Strkyer was doing (trying to kill all the mutants in the world using a machine and Professor X) and Stryker pulled a gun, intending to shoot and kill Kitty. Before he could pull the trigger, Stryker was shot by a police officer. Aterwards, Ororo felt Dracula's summons and went to fight him and an angry Kitty, upset over her parents divorce, was possessed by Lilith. Kitty bit Peter, and together they attacked Ororo. When Dracula was defeated, Lilith thanked the X-Men for their help and released Kitty. It was no secret that Kitty liked Peter, except to him, just as it was no secret that Peter liked Kitty, except to her. In the aftermath of dealing with the Brood, Stryker, and Dracula, Peter and Kitty finally admitted that they liked each other and started dating.
While the X-Men were in Japan for Logan's wedding, they were poisoned by Viper and Silver Samurai, before battling Mastermind and Impossible Man. While Peter fought the Brotherhood, he became frozen in liquid nitrogen. Kitty was trying to save him when she was kidnapped by Callisto, trying to make her make good on a promise she'd made to marry Caliban, a Morlock, who then released her from her promise, hoping she'd return of her own free will. Peter was saved through combined efforts of a Morlock Healer and Rogue.
Kitty started spending more time with one of her computer friends, Doug, causing Peter to doubt her feelings for him, even though she'd worked so hard to save him. Doug asked Kitty to go with him to Emma Frost's academy, where he'd recieved a scholarship. Since Kitty thought Emma was in a coma, she accepted, but she and Doug were captured by Emma. After the New Mutants rescued them, Peter broke up with her because of his growing relationship with another girl.
Yeah. That didn't exactly make Kitty not feel like crap.
After the break-up with Peter, Kitty went home for a little while and discovered that her father was involved with some Japanese gangsters. She followed him back to Japan, where she was captured and put under the mental control of Ogun, Logan's former teacher who had become his enemy. (Yeah. Remember: resistance to mental attack doesn't mean that it can't happen.) Ogun had Kitty believing that she was his daughter and had been trained in ninjitsu since birth, and he cut her hair short. Logan was the only X-Man to get her plea for help, and he followed her trail to Japan. Kitty was sent to kill him and managed to injure him greatly, but with help from Yukio, Ogun's influence was thrown off. Logan put her through a crash course to make her body as skilled as her mind had been through Ogun. By telling her constantly that she could either train or leave, Logan was giving her the choice to learn that Ogun had denied her, and Kitty was smart enough to figure that out. She fought Ogun and was defeated, and Logan came in to rescue her. He, too, was defeated, and in a moment of uncharacteristic honesty, in which she showed him her inner thoughts, she told him that she'd been scared until he came. He apologized, and Kitty told him that she didn't want an apology. She just wanted to live. That seemed to turn something in Logan, and he was able to defeat Ogun. After that time in Japan was when Kitty took the codename Shadowcat.
Kitty was injured by a Marauder called "Harpoon" as she was phased. That was the first time she'd been hurt while phased, and the result of this particular attack was that she was stuck in an intangible state, and gradually began to dissipate. She was sent to Muir Island to recover, but rather than recovering, she continued to dissipate until it looked as though she would dissipate completely. Magneto, unwilling to watch her die, went to Reed Richards, Mr. Fantastic, to use a device that Reed had built. Unsure of what the outcome would be, he declined, even after the X-Men begged him, resulting in a fight between the X-Men and the Fantastic Four. Dr. Von Doom offered to help, and Storm accepted unhappily. Psylocke kept Kitty's mind together, and Reed reconsidered at the urging of Franklin Richards. Through the combined efforts of Mr. Fantastic and Dr. Von Doom and intense concentration on Kitty's part, she was able to regain solidity.
Kitty was deeply affected by Illyana's death from the Legacy Virus. But as hard as she was hit by that, finding out that Peter had sacrificed himself... that cut a lot deeper. Waking up each day was a throbbing wound. She'd go through the motions of eating and sleeping and talking to people, fighting the fights that needed to be fought, and then wake up the next day to start all over again. But time went on, and that throbbing wound became a little less open each day. She was recruited temporarily to S.H.I.E.L.D. when the computer system of the helicarrier refused to recognize any user but her. Kitty realized quickly that it was because Ogun's spirit had taken control of the flying headquarter's computer system, and with Logan's help, she was able to defeat Ogun and return control to S.H.I.E.L.D.
Reeling from all the deaths of close friends, she left the X-Men, intending on becoming a normal college student. But she could only be away from the X-Men and the fight for so long. While studying computer sciences, her father was killed in a Sentinel attack on Genosha. Kitty threw herself back into her old life, intent on making the people responsible for her father's death pay.
Scott and Emma took over the Xavier Institute, and Kitty was offered a job as a teacher, as well as a spot on Scott's squad. Kitty was hesitant to accept, since her past with Emma Frost were... unpleasant, to put it nicely, but she finally decided that she'd rather be on hand when crap hit the fan. Since she didn't trust Emma, she could keep an eye on the blonde telepath for signs that things were going to go bad, and maybe Kitty would be able to protect the kids. On a mission to investigate a cure for mutants, Kitty discovered a very much alive Peter. The X-Men defeated Ord, the alien that had attacked the school, and then they did what they always did: they rebuilt and dealt and healed. Kitty and Peter healed with each other and resumed their relationship with only a little (a lot) of awkwardness.
Cassandra Nova had lodged a piece of her consciousness in Emma Frost's mind, in order to use Emma's telepathic abilities to help Cassandra escape from the Stuff body, resulting in mental projections. Kitty took down and imprisoned Emma, but then became trapped in a telepathic delusion that she and Peter had concieved a child, only for the X-Men to take it away from them, claiming that the child could possibly have potentially dangerous abilities. Kitty, of course, tried to rescue her child from a box that was as close to inescapable as they could make in the depths of the school. In actuality, she was letting Stuff and the trapped consiousness of Cassandra Nova free. Kitty collapsed into unconsciousness after Cassandra tried to transfer her mind into Kitty's body.
A group of X-Men, including Kitty, was taken to Breakworld. The inhabitants had launched a gigantic metal bullet towards Earth, and Kitty phased with it in order to phase the bullet through Earth, saving her planet. She was presumed dead. Really, Kitty didn't know how long she was in the bullet, or how close she was to Earth, so she just kept it phased, because she didn't know how much was adrenaline seeming to make time go slower or how much was time actually going slowly. She didn't know what was in front of the bullet anymore, so she just kept it phased for as long as she could. Magneto was able to pull the bullet back to Earth, the process almost killing himself. Kitty was so relieved to be home and to see everyone that the first thing she wanted to do was hug Peter - at which point, she promptly went straight through him. She focused on unphasing, but was still intangible and was unable to talk.
Peter asked Emma to talk for Kitty, and Emma refused. Kitty and Emma had an argument (does it count as an argument if at least half of it is through thoughts?) in which Kitty accused Emma of being the reason Kitty was stuck in the state of intangibility. Probably not the most reasonable and logical thought Kitty has ever had, but... those aren't really words that have been used to describe her, and can she really be held responsible for her thoughts? Through Emma, Kitty was able to tell Peter that she loved him, and jeeze, you should have been able to see his face then.
When Peter became the new Juggernaut instead of his sister, she almost killed him. Not literally, of course. ...Probably not literally, at any rate. She knew that the fact he was willing to sacrifice himself for his friends and his sister was a huge part of him. It was something that made up a core part of who he was, but she would really like it if he could stop dying for other people and start living for her, damn it. Considering that she was still recovering from the effects of phasing the bullet and she'd been pretty sure she wasn't going to survive the bullet thing when she'd decided to do it, maybe she didn't have a lot of room to talk. But he'd already died. That made a big difference. She broke up with him in a fit of emotion (maybe she hadn't outgrown the temper tantrums as much as she thought she had), and she regrets doing so.
Logan decided to restart the school, naming it The Jean Grey School. Sides were chosen and Kitty chose Logan's side. Truth of the matter was, she trusted Logan more than she trusted Scott, and she trusted Logan a whole helluva lot more than she would ever trust Emma Frost. Due to a whole thing with the Brood, she thought she was pregnant and figured it was Peter's child, since he was the only possibility, but she chickened out before she could tell him. Oh. Yeah. And she kissed Bobby at the tail end of it all. Don't... don't ask her what that means. She doesn't know. And please don't ask her to choose between Bobby and Peter, because at this stage? She really doesn't know.

Writing Sample:
((OOC Note: I'm taking one of my favourite moments from canon, and showing Kitty's inner reactions, because to me, there's just so much there to work with. I'm having to do it mostly off of memory because I can't find the actual scene layout, so I'm sorry if I mess it up.))
Kitty was staring straight ahead as she spoke, keeping her eyes wide and refusing to blink and having to resist the urge to crumple and clutch her knees. Her voice started out soft but strong, and got steadily louder as she went on. "You have to know that if you're a clone or robot or, yeah, a ghost or alternate universe thingie, I can deal..." Kitty's voice started breaking and her eyes started leaking tears, though she didn't register that it was happening. She was just focusing on keeping herself together and not breaking. Short fingernails bit into her palms, cutting little crescents into the skin that she didn't feel. "But if you are some shapeshifter or illusionist who's just watching me twist, I will kill you, I will kill you with an axe--" Her voice cut out as Peter hugged her. Even on his knees, he was almost as tall as she was, his arms looping around her waist and his face at chest level. Any other time and she'd be teasing him about copping a feel while his face was at perfect height, but this wasn't any other time and now she was becoming aware of the tears streaking down her face, leaving clear tracks through the sweat and grime on her face.
"You died. You died and I went to your funeral and I spread your ashes." Her arms found themselves around his shoulders and she rested her chin on the top of his head, reveling in the fact that he was there and she could touch him, and if it turned out to not be him, yes, she would kill the bastard messing with her feelings, she meant it when she said it, but until then, she just wanted to feel this.
Peter finally spoke. "Katya. Thank you."
And that was enough to convince her. This wasn't some illusion master. This wasn't a shape shifter. He might be a clone or an alternate version of the Peter she knew, but he was still Peter.
All the strength went out of her legs and Kitty found herself sagging towards the ground. Peter was able to react faster than she could, and he caught her weight to lower her gently the rest of the way, their arms never moving away from each other.
They sat like that for a long moment that could have been seconds or a thousand eternities, clinging to each other and breaking down and rebuilding each other without words.
They were there for each other.
And sometimes, that's enough.
