Bio:

About Name: Katherine "Kitty" Pryde Codename: Shadowcat Species: Mutant Affiliation: X-Men Age: 21 (Born October 25th, 1942) Gender: Female Parents: Carmen (deceased) and Theresa Pryde Siblings: None Sexual orientation: Straight Relationship status: Taken Place of residence: Xavier's Institute	I've been an X-Man since I was fourteen. It's like wearing a big sign saying-Please try and kill me, I like it.
A little more in depth Personality: Katherine Anne Pryde is an intelligent, outspoken, sarcastic, and caring person who would rather be burned alive then turn her back on the things she believes in. Throw in the fact that she truly cares about people, both in the specific and as an abstract whole, and you have someone who is fiercely loyal. She can be as insanely protective over someone she has only known a few moments as she can the people she holds nearest and dearest to her heart. Kitty is by no means an angel, however. Just like everyone else she is flawed to a degree. The strong sense of pride she inherited from her father more times than not can cause her to make snap judgements. That same pride makes it extremely difficult for her to back down once it rears it's ugly head. She also doesn’t take well to rejection, which is probably one of the reasons she doesn’t get close to people. She has little quirks that play into her everyday life. Like, she constantly has to be doing something with her hands. Whether it's motioning with them when she talks or twirling something around my fingers...they have to be doing something. And if she starts tucking her hair behind her ears, you can be pretty sure it's because she's flustered or nervous- everyone has a tell and hers is the hair tuck, if you get her trademark half smile along with it? Then you know you've really got her going. Kitty likes her cars fast, her music loud, her studies never ending, her puzzles complicated, and her lollipops red. She's basically the neurotic girl next door. History: Kitty was born in Deerfield, Illinois to devout Jewish parents. Her mother, Theresa, thought she struck gold when she married a young Carmen Pryde. She was under the assumption that he worked for the government and simply could not discuss the details of his job. What he did or didn't do wasn't important in her eyes, all she saw was dollar signs. But unbeknownst to his self-absorbed wife, Carmen had his hand in some dirty dealings with the Japanese mafia. It never effected nor threatened to effect his home life, therefore he would keep that part of his life a secret for years. He was a hardworking man, and as far as he was concerned that was all anybody needed to know. Theresa did not want children and she made that very clear despite her husband's want for a large family. So, imagine what her reaction was when she discovered she was pregnant. The baby hadn't taken its first breath yet and already she resented its existence. Carmen on the other hand, couldn't have been happier and on October 25th, 1942 Katherine Anne Pryde graced the world with red faced screams. From day one she had her father wrapped around her tiny finger. It was he who suggested they have her intelligence quotient tested. When she ranked above a 150, he automatically began searching for the best schools. She was 13 when she began taking college courses and it was that same year her headaches began. Nothing was thought of them at first, everyone- even her doctors- thought that Kitty was simply pushing herself too hard in school and that was causing stress induced pain. But, her headaches steadily began increasing in intensity and one day, after a particularly grueling brain throbbing, she woke up under her bed without any knowledge of how she got there. It scared her at first, because it didn't stop there, she began waking up in all sorts of places throughout the house. Chalking it up to sleep walking, she tried to continue about her everyday life. Fate however had a different plan for Kitty. Fate also had a twisted sense of humor, and used it on her the day she fell through her bedroom floor and onto the couch where her parents were sitting. Theresa freaked out and refused to acknowledge her daughter's obvious mutation. She wouldn't even look at Kitty for weeks and forbid her to be around any of her friends. Terri, who cursed the day her daughter sprang from her loins would never look at her the same way again, even after Charles Xavier approached them and explained that being a mutant was not a disease and Kitty was truly special. Carmen of course was more forgiving of something his pride and joy obviously had no control over and although he missed her terribly, he was more than happy to allow Kitty to join Xavier at the Institute. Kitty had been at the Institute for 7 years when in mid July of 1963 a letter from her mother came stating that her father had died tragically in an accident. She was so angry with her mother. Who told someone something like that in such an impersonal way? It shouldn't have surprised her though. Theresa Pryde would rather have been the one who died than step foot inside her daughter's world. Kitty had become an 'inconvenience' the day she fell through the ceiling onto her parents' couch. Terri wouldn't even acknowledge her daughter's abilities, and would cover up her absence by telling people she was at some private school for 'child prodigies'. It disgusted Kitty the way she would lie so blatantly, bragging even if she was standing right beside her mother. Her father had always been supportive, even though he didn't quite understand everything. Carmen Pryde had made an effort to be in his daughter's life and his opinion of her never changed. She was his baby, and mutant or not he would always have been wrapped around her finger. He may have been absent a lot due to work, but he made sure he was there for her...especially after the divorce. For two months she tried desperately to uncover the truth behind her father's death. She knew there was more to it and her search led her to her father's secret in Japan. Knowing that she was in way over her head and couldn't very well take on the Japanese mob alone, she returned to the Institute. Powers & Special Abilities: She possesses the ability to pass through solid matter by passing her atoms through the spaces between the atoms of the object through which she is moving. In this way she and the object through which she is passing can temporarily merge without interacting, and each is unharmed when Kitty has finished passing through the object. This process is called "phasing." When Kitty is phasing, she is, for all intents ad purposes, intangible. Hence, when attacked, she can shift into a "phasing" state (even if she is not at the time passing through an object) so as to allow oncoming projectiles or energy blasts to pass through her harmlessly. Kitty passes through objects at the same rate of speed at which she is moving before she "enters" it. She has trained herself to go automatically, by reflex, into a phasing state at any indication of danger, such as a loud noise like a gunshot, in order to protect herself. Since she is unable to breathe while "inside" an object, she can only continuously phase through solid objects (as when she travels underground) as long as she can hold her breath. Denser materials are more difficult for Kitty to phase through, sometimes causing her pain. Solidifying while in an object could cause serious injury if not death. (Marvel Wiki) On the non-mutant side, Kitty has an extremely high IQ and is fluent in several different languages including German, Japanese, Russian, and Gaelic.
