OOC Name: Jeanne, which is pronounced (G-Knee), if you were wondering. :)E-Mail: ElfEARZ@hotmail.com
Character Name: civilian/code name: Katherine "Kitty" Pryde, Known as Shadow Cat
Taken From: She was in X-Men 3. Unfortunately, there is not a movie-solely based on her.
Played By: Ellen Page (Actual Kitty Pryde in X-Men 3)
Occupation: She is the youngest member of the X-Men Team, well was the youngest until Jubilee became a memeber. She is still a student.
Description: She is a brunette, her hair is as straight as a board. It falls to just below her shoulder blades, and always seems to be tidy. Her face is still youthful, she is a 17 year old, but lines from the weariness of battle-show on her face. She has arching brows that always seem to rise in a condecending manner. Her lips are rather lacking. Not quite full ,but definitely not the thin line of a mouth most women have. She almost never smiles and it definitely seems as though a half-hearted smirk is always in place. Her body is petite and curvy. She is not willowly or a two-by-four as most women today are. She is in shape, but she seems to possess those sensual curves. She is approximately 5'2 1/2. Her eyes are a light shade of brown, almost borderline hazel. She has an extremely fair complextion.
Skills/Abilities/Powers: Kathrine can phase, an ability that allows her to be able to pass through solid objects, without harming the objects or herself. She is virtually intangible. Katherine passes through objects at the same rate of speed at which she is moving before she "enters" them. Since she is unable to breathe while "inside" an object, she can only continuously phase through solid objects (as when she travels underground) as long as she can hold her breath. When first developing her powers, Katherine had no ablility to become tangible. She had to will herself to become solid. Now that her powers have developed and are fully undercontrol, Katherine can change as she chooses. While phasing, she does not touch surfaces, rather she appears to be floating. Ghost-like. Katherine is not easily hurt by physical means when she is phasing. Unfortunately, energy blasts have a lasting effect on her powers, rendering them useless for months. She has trained herself to automatically phase- if there is any chance of danger, such as a gunshot in order to protect herself. Katherine is a genuis in Computer Technology. She is also excellent in hand-to-hand combat, learning all forms of fighting. Another skill of Katherine's, rather useless and laughed at by most of the X-Men, is her ablility to dance at a professional level.
Personality: Katerine is amazingly mature for her age level and the fact that she is allowed into the X-Men team is proof of her ablities to control herself. She is extremely intelligent, knowing and understanding all most everything there is to know about Computer Science and Applied Technology. Katherine is quicked witted, using her sarcasm and sharp tones to insult those-she disapproves of. She is quick to anger, her temper, a sure sign of her age. She has a habit of being too independent, wanting to accomplish tasks on her own. She expects far too much loyalty from those she calls friends, and often does not go to the trouble of making friends.
Background:Katherine Anne "Kitty" Pryde was born in Deerfield, Illinois to Carmen and Theresa Pryde. Of Jewish descent, her paternal grandfather, Samuel Prydeman, was held in a Nazi concentration camp during World War II.Kitty started to have headaches at age thirteen, headaches which signaled the emergence of her mutant powers. She was approached by both the X-Men's Charles Xavier and the Hellfire Club, White Queen, Emma Frost, both of whom hoped to recruit her for their respective causes. Kitty was unnerved by Frost, observing that the White Queen had looked at her as if she were "something good to eat." She got along better with Xavier and the three X-Men who escorted him to his meeting with her and her parents, becoming fast friends with Ororo Munroe. Ororo told Kitty who she really was and about the X-Men, which made the teenager even more enthusiastic about attending Xavier's school.Katherine, in the beginning, was fearful of mutants with physical deformities. Fortunately, She got over that and became friends with NightCrawler. She was looked upon as the little one of the X-Men and Storm often thought of her as a daughter. She formed a relationship with Colossus
Example Post:

A long, overdrawn sigh echoed from one of the plastic chairs in the waiting room, Why me? The sigher asked, her eyes lifting to the cracked plaster ceiling. Cries from distraught babies and the soft sobbing of love ones-waiting for news resounded through the overly crowded Emergency Room. The dirty clock on the far left wall read 9:45. That was another hour of waiting gone. The receptionist was a small elderly woman-with many wrinkles and extremely shaky hands, her big smile-showed obviously fake teeth. The woman was nice, but it seemed as though she did her job with a lag. She seemed in no real hurry to help with the emergencies coming forth into her domain. The room definitely smelled of Babies’ urine and the faith stench of blood was easily picked up. All but two chairs were full; the people in the room seemed to enjoy the waiting- it gave them a chance to catch up with the other frequent visitors. The tapping coming from a rather lanky, old black man next to her- started to grate on Katherine’s nerves. She grated her teeth, trying not to verbally abuse the man next to her.
The sigher rolled her eyes in disgust, she might as well have gotten here at 4:00pm- She had thought that if she came early in the morning, the wait would not be long. Apparently, she was wrong, it seemed as though everyone in the city was suffering some kind of emergency. For the past two hours, twelve people, at the most-mind you, have passed through the double doors leading to medical assistance. A curse rose up in Katherine’s throat, Why the fuck me? She questioned the ceiling again, her thoughts becoming violent. If the black man did not stop tapping his yacht of a foot, then she was going to snap.
Finally- At petite, blonde nurse- who had the disposition of a abnormally cheerful person, called out Katherine Pryde- as she stood holding one of the double doors open. Kitty jumped up, anxious to see the under qualified assigned to her. She would be lucky if the man was able to fill out a proper prescription. Kitty was-literally-pushed into a small examination room, the nurse did not even turn on the light for her. Well, at least, she is keeping things moving in here. Kitty thought, as she felt for the light switch in the dark hole of a room. Finding it, Kitty was able to examine her surroundings- A small room with a small examination table-various medical equipment in jars and on shelves, a stool, and tacky medical information posters. Not the best, but definitely not the worst.
Patience was definitely not a trait, the petite brunette posed. As she paced about the small space, her green eyes flashing with anger every time she heard her doctor pass by her door. He was three doors down-now! Kitty was about to go and fetch him. It would not be difficult at all, just a jaunt through a couple of walls- disturbing a couple of paitents, causing a couple of nurses to scream, it could be fun. Kitty smiled, it was not a cute smile- definitely not a smile you would expect a girl of 17 to possess. It was a smile of pure evil, a smile of pure wickedness. Like a cat spotting a mouse and going in for the kill. Kitty glanced down to smooth out her clothing, a pair of overly large Nike sweat pants, black. And her favorite hoodie- emblazed with The Germany Soccer Team’s logo- A lovely shade of blue.
Let the fun begin. She thought grinning as she stepped through the first wall. A shrill scream and the thud of a body falling to ground, cued her complete entrance. Now, where was that doctor?

Plans: Well, in general, my plans are to show the inner conflict that Katherine is having about being the youngest x-man. She is really self-conscience and the fact that some of the X-Men look down upon her for being young- eats away at her. She is 17 years old, she is a young girl, albeit intelligent and mature for her age, she is still a girl- she wants to be normal, settle down, date- have girl talk. She is struggling to still accept her powers. I am hoping to portray conflicts between older superheroes, and perhaps show her lingering more to the darker side- the side that wants power and respect. That pretty much sums her up.

I hope you have enjoyed this little tid bit about Kitty. She is an amazing character, I think I will love to roleplay with her. Quite often, in fact. Drop me a line, if you want to roleplay. I will be looking forward to it.
