{{Tab}}Kitty is short and wiry, | {{Tab}} Kitty is short (only 5'2") and wiry, strong in an unassuming, unapparent way – lean muscle tone but a softness in her face that routinely makes people underestimate her. Open and friendly features, big expressive brown eyes and a resting expression that often looks like she's about to smile. She has an eclectic sense of fashion that's mostly cobbled together from her friends – she loves to be comfortable, first, colorful second, and for her clothes to show off her love for the stars. Has highly textured curly hair for a White People – her battle to tame the frizz and curls into something manageable and loved is ongoing. | ||

{{Tab}} To most mutants in NYC, a friendly face at both mutant community and Jewish community events who has been more active at protests since ~2020. People affiliated with the Xavier's school know her as one of Many Alumni that do not achieve escape velocity of the school, and is often around for X-Men Reasons. Known to be helpful, and often volunteers her uncanny mutant ability of Owning a Car in New York to help people move. To other scientists, a brilliant astrophysicist that would go so far if only she stopped talking about mutants all the time on Twitter and actually finish her dissertation. | |||

{{Tab}}Katherine “Kitty” Pryde is the only child of Carmen and Theresa | {{Tab}} Katherine “Kitty” Pryde is the only child of Carmen Pryde and his ex-wife Theresa, Jewish Americans of Polish and Russian origin, and the only grandchild of several Holocaust survivors. She grew up in the upper middle class suburb of Deerfield, IL, with access to extracurriculars, good public schools, and robust Jewish community. | ||
{{Tab}} When she was ten, Kitty was kidnapped after school by members of a Chicago based criminal organization, and held hostage for several weeks. At the time she was told this was to motivate her father's participation in a large operation. After her eventual release, she began taking self-defense classes and never stopped. | |||
{{Tab}} Kitty's mutant manifestation was triggered by a nightmare flashback to this ordeal, where upon waking she found she had fallen – but not from the top of a Chicago skyscraper, but through her bed and the floors of her house into the basement. She was recruited personally by Charles Xavier to join his school to learn to control her powers. Once she was out of the house, her mother filed for divorce – in the same year, Kitty learned that her father had deliberately arranged for a longer kidnapping to try and compel ransom money out of Kitty's grandparents. All of this knowledge coincided with the death of her grandfather, Holocaust survivor Samuel Prydeman, and Kitty was compelled to speak in his place at a meeting of survivors that year in Carmen's place. All this personal turmoil messed heavily with her ability to manage her mutation at the beginning of her time at Xaviers. In spite of all this, Kitty excelled academically over the next four years. She was salutatorian and class president of her graduating class before matriculating at Columbia. | |||
{{Tab}} After hearing about the rescue of her classmate Jackson Holland by the X-Men, Kitty was quietly fascinated by the vigilante group. She joined the team in 2013, but was discouraged from joining the ''other'' team her friends and former classmates were on. Beyond a brief period in 2017 Kitty spent traveling, she has been exclusively New York based for her near decade with the X-Men. She began PhD studies in astrophysics at NYU in 2018, focused on the search for exoplanets. | |||
{{Tab}} After the death of her friend Dawson Allred in late 2020, Kitty became much more active in NYC mutant rights protests, to the detriment of her studies. After a particularly high profile incident after a Free Jackson Holland protest in 2022, she was compelled to register as part of the conditions of remaining in her academic program. Currently, she is juggling the completion of her dissertation with her duties as an X-Man, her obligations to her community, the logistics of dating Wanted Terrorist Leonid Concepcion, and the emotional turmoil of her father moving to NYC. | |||
