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}} When she was ten, Kitty was kidnapped after school by members of a Chicago based criminal organization, and held hostage for several weeks.

{{Tab}} Kitty's 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 | {{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 hearing about the rescue of her classmate Jackson Holland by the X-Men, Kitty was quietly fascinated by the vigilante group.
