canon point: Post X-Men 3: The Last Stand
previous cr: N/A

history: X-Men: The Last Stand Wiki (I've only linked this one as this is Kitty's biggest/main appearance, and her own wiki is comic-verse centered)

alternate 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. Before her ability emerged Kitty wasn't the most popular person in school but she never wanted to be. She wasn't part of many clubs and was pretty happy, enjoying school and out of school life with her friends - and they were quite close. When her powers emerged, and she used them accidentally, that's when things changed. She still had a couple of friends who stood by her, but they weren't the most understanding or helpful.

Kitty's first meeting with another mutant was with that of Professor Charles Xavier, the founder of 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.

[ Alteration from comic canon: ] Where Kitty's history in movie and comics differs the most is here. In the movies Xavier was the first mutant that Kitty met, bringing her to the school but in the comics she was approached by both Xavier (X-Men) and Emma Frost (Hellfire Club) to be recruited for both causes. [ mentioned here ] Everything thus after is seen in the movies - Kitty attends Xaviers, studies, learns to use and control her ability and eventually trains to become part of the next generation of X-Men.

Along with meeting other mutants this is where Kitty's life changed the most - it was a place where she felt most comfortable and at home, and had friends and people around her who understood exactly how she felt. Despite the fear and hate surrounding mutants, Kitty would never wish to stop being a mutant or to change her power - she'd rather help others to understand and become educated about them. Regarding other powers, she will always think that other powers are cool, though through others she has learned the harder sides of them and because of this, knowing her own power and liking what she can do, she would never change her power. She'd rather work as a team, gaining the benefits from all powers together.

[ headcanon: ] Kitty used to do ballet before she started ice skating. When she started skating she was unable to do them together due to conflicting schedules and chose ice skating. She still likes dancing.

Kitty can't cook. Any time she tries she ends up burning things instead. She can manage the microwave and toast, but actual cooking tends to go wrong. Not even cookies survive.

Kitty likes to doodle. She's not fantastically arty but she's better than stick figures. She doesn't ever really draw, just occasionally doodles when she's bored. Nothing big, nothing fancy, just a nice, neat little doodle.

Kitty's an only child. She lived with her parents until attending Xavier's and saw little of other relatives as her parents weren't close with them. Due to their reaction to Kitty being a mutant she hasn't seen them since moving to the school.

personality: When Kitty first discovered that she was a mutant - and had the ability of phasing - she was scared. She'd heard about mutants, knew what they were but in terms of herself it frightened her - she'd been just a normal girl and now everything was changing. This fear was lessened slightly when she met Professor Charles Xavier - the first mutant that she'd met. Although she was weary of him, the fact that he could understand her and her fears and knew a lot about mutants made her want to trust him. With him and the school Kitty learned to control and even feel differently about being a mutant, something which helped her control her ability.

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.

On first appearance Kitty's beliefs may make her seem rather naive - her friendliness and wish to help everyone is a nice thought but realistically infeasible. Although Kitty knows that it isn't possible to save everyone - either through experience or plain understanding - it is still a wish that she holds - she'd rather save as many people as possible, even if she'd have to sacrifice herself to save another. Kitty's strong beliefs can also make her stubborn, something which is often more of a good thing than a negative thing. Her kind heart and refusal to harm others (except for extreme situations) helps to remind others that there are other ways to act or settle things than violence - though mostly those ideas are often just that.

Strengths: Studious - Kitty is an intelligent girl in all aspects of her studies - school, training and learning herself and her ability. She's a curious girl, wishing to know answers and looking to find the right questions to lead her where she wants. In the three years that she's been at Xavier's she's come a long way in learning her own mutant abilities but also in her training with others too, something which showed in the battle at Alcatraz.

Open minded - whilst Kitty may originally been afraid of being a mutant, meeting Professor Xavier opened her eyes to the better side about it. Kitty is proud to be a mutant and sees the good in people and their abilities even if others can't. She has strong ideas and wishes for others to be able to see and understand them like she does. She's open to ideas and suggestions, using them to help better herself or her work.

Kind/Helpful/Friendly - Kitty is a friendly girl, helping others where she can even if it's just by being their friend. When she met Leech, even though things seemed difficult she first was friendly and kind towards him, reassuring him and showing that she was good before trying to get him to go with her. Kitty wouldn't force anyone to do what they wouldn't want to do but if something was necessary she would be persistent in trying to help someone.

Always tries her best/hardest/Isn't quickly deterred by failure - This links in with Kitty's studious nature and her resourcefulness. When an answer or situation seems bleak (such as getting Leech out of his room without her power) Kitty wasnt deterred by the fact that her original option wasn't possible and instead tried again. As a student Kitty is an intelligent girl, working hard to learn what she can abs question until she understands or to learn more. In her X-Men training Kitty works hard to know the strengths and weaknesses of everyone in the team in case she can spot something that someone else hasn't to help defend (such as grabbing Bobby to let a flying object phase through them)

Quick thinker on her feet/Resourceful - In training with the X-Men (and the battle at Alcatraz) Kitty has been placed in situations where conventional means of defence or ideas aren't possible. To find solutions Kitty has had to think quickly in the moment and to think outside of the box - using what she knows as well as the situation around her to find an answer.

A strong person (doesn't let mutant hate get to her) - Kitty sees and hears about hate towards mutants far more often than she'd like and has grown from experiencing it, helping her to become stronger and more resilient. Things that would have hurt or saddened her now have less effect and it takes more to provoke those responses or anger.

Calm - Kitty is a very peaceful person, not wishing for violence and is training to be an X-Man to help and protect others. Her non-offensive mutant ability means that she can't attack with it, meaning she'd need to learn combat if she ever had to attack - something which she hasnt done and would prefer not to do either.

Weaknesses: Can seem naive - Kitty's wishes for peace between mutants and humans and especially now within mutants is strong. As unlikely as it seems she is a firm believer that it can happen, especially due to advances that have already happened. Despite this, her belief makes her seem naive as she is seeing the good in everyone for the peace to happen when it's going to be a long road with much opposition.

Possibly a little gullible - Kitty is still young and although she's had to grow and mature a lot and quickly she's still a young woman and is prone to youth fallacies. Although Kitty has her own mind and strong beliefs she can be swayed, especially when something can sound convincing.

Can have weaker moments (letting the hate effect her) - Although Kitty has grown through and because of the hate towards mutants, hearing and experiencing it frequently is still hard and when it builds up, particularly if she's having a bad day, it does still upset her. It hurts daily knowing that there are those who cannot accept mutants but Kitty works to ignore that and focus instead on the positives.

Not used to the outdoors - as a city girl Kitty has experienced little of nature or anything outdoors, for example the countryside, barring any camping trips she's taken. Although the school has large grounds, the majority of them is rarely used and they are still close to the city.

Has experienced little (other than her education and mutant abilities/training) - As Kitty is still young she has few life experiences other than those from being at school - both pre and during being at Xavier's. The battle at Alcatraz was her first 'adventure' as a part of the X-Men and was both a new experience and vastly different to what she'd experienced in training. Kitty still has a lot to learn both in life and her education and has many more things to experience.

abilities/powers: 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.

first person sample: [ video ]
What- I?

[ Kitty panicked, patting at the gown on her. She was in a morgue. Dead? But... how? ]

I'm dead? I can't be... we stopped- Was that a dream?

[ She sighed, laying herself back down. Well, if she was dead no point in going anywhere ]

I guess I kind of expected the professor to be here.

third person sample: 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.
