Powers: She can walk through walls, or any other solid material, by making the material intangible.
Background/Bio: Katherine (Kitty) Pryde is the only child of Carmen and Theresa (Terri) Pryde.
Carmen's grandfather was held in a Nazi concentration camp during World War II, and, upon release, brought his family to the United States. They settled in the suburbs outside of Chicago, Illinois. Carmen and Terri met in high school and married after college. Neither has ever traveled far from Chicago. Carmen and Terri identify as non-practicing Jews.
Kitty was born on a snowy Valentine's morning in Deerfield, Illinois. She grew up in the house Carmen and Terri purchased not long after their marriage. Though Kitty grew up fully aware of her Jewish heritage and of her grandfather's harrowing experiences in the concentration camp, religion wasn't really a factor in her life.
Always a bit of a tomboy, Kitty loved sports. Her favorites were soccer and Kung Fu, and she excelled at both from a very young age. Kitty was also an honor student, and enrolled in the gifted and talented program at her elementary school. When she was twelve years old, Carmen and Terri surprised Kitty with a Boston Terrier puppy that she named Lockheed.
Hers was a happy, healthy childhood.
When Kitty was 13 years old, she began having headaches. Carmen and Terri took her to the family doctor, but he was unable to identify the cause. He told them not to worry, that Kitty was probably entering puberty, and that the headaches would pass. A few weeks later, they woke in the middle of the night to the sound of their daughter screaming from downstairs. Confused, they jumped out of bed and ran down into the living room, where Kitty lay on the floor, sobbing. During a nightmare, she'd phased through her bed and the floor, falling into the living room below. Her blanket still hung, partially phased through the ceiling. Being generally uneducated about mutants, all three of them were very upset by
this development. Carmen and Terri were torn between their love for their daughter and their fear of her mutation. They withdrew her from school and researched their options. They were considering a boarding school in Massachusetts when they heard about Xavier's School For Gifted Youngsters in New York. It sounded like the perfect fit for their daughter. They felt a lot of guilt about sending her away, but were somewhat comforted by the fact that she was allowed to take Lockheed.
Kitty fit in, but, for a long time didn't quite feel at home. It took almost a year for her to get used to her routine of classes and training at the mansion. She watched the news coverage of crimes against with a heavy heart, finally confident and comfortable in her own skin. Kitty believed in equal rights for mutants, but disagreed with the tactics employed by radical groups like Magneto's Brotherhood of Mutants.
Although Kitty became more involved in following politics, she maintained her status as a star student and a good friend. She fought with the X-Men in the Wideawake battle against the sentinels.
After the battle, Kitty found herself confused and doubtful. She was traumatized by what she had seen and disillusioned by the things of which she now knew people were capable. During her dark mood, she forged a friendship with Pietro (Quicksilver). She battled her depression, focusing on school, her training, and Kung Fu classes. She also started working as a barista at Starbucks in Salem Center.
Kitty was injured in an attack by the Morlock's at a St. Patrick's Day party with her good friend, the former Morlock, Typhoid. Kitty was fully recovered just in time to start the fall term. Her misadventures had taken their toll, but hadn't disrupted her schooling.
Once again, Kitty was quick to recover from her myriad traumas. She and Tron became friends, and she accompanied him to The Hellfire Club on the fateful night Omen delivered her terrifying prophecy. She did her best to be a supportive friend while Tron dealt with conflicts both internal and external regarding his possible development of artificial intelligence. When Omen's Prophecy proved, very unfortunately, to be true, Kitty once again fought with the X-Men, who were no match for the machines. Civilization had been all but wiped out, and the survivors were left to fend for themselves. Kitty returned to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, as she always had, to find the only home she'd ever known in ruins.
