| Description
|
|
xxxxxKitty is short and wiry, all muscle tone and curly brown hair. Standing at 5’2”, she stares people down with big brown eyes and a resting scowl daring people to mess with her. Her forehead is big and a point of adolescent anxiety. She used to care a lot about her appearance - these days she lives in athlesiure wear and messy buns, provided her Ashkenaz curls cooperate.

| History

|
xxxxxKatherine “Kitty” Pryde is the only child of Carmen and Theresa Pryde, second generation Polish Jewish Americans, and the only grandchild of a Holocaust survivor. She grew up in a upper middle class suburb with access to extracurriculars, good public schools, and Jewish community.
xxxxxShortly after she turned ten, Kitty was kidnapped after school by members of a Chicago based criminal organization. She was held hostage to threaten her father, who to Kitty’s shock was involved in white-collar crime through the bank he worked at. After her return, Kitty was enrolled in self-defence classes.
xxxxxAfter her thirteenth birthday, Kitty began to experience terrible headaches and nightmares of falling through the floor. One day she woke up to find she had fallen through the floor, in the first manifestation of her mutation. She was shortly thereafter recruited to the Xavier School, where she excelled throughout academically. Kitty was fascinated with the X-Men team and joined up as soon as she could.
xxxxxThough her parents wanted her to return to Chicago for university, Kitty stayed in New York, attending Columbia for undergraduate studies and NYU for her PhD in physics. Even though she had lots of college credit from XS, Kitty still took the full four years to graduate as she tried to balance academics with her obligations as an X-Man. She took a year off after graduation from university to travel and try to regain life balance, something she has always struggled with. Currently she is approaching completion of a PhD in astrophysics at NYU.
