On occasion she will be seen in skirts, and rarely in dresses. During missions, she will wear the leather flight suit in her picture<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Who they are</span></strong></span><br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Kitty is a fairly easy-going person...at least around other mutants. She will stand by those who are friends, and will work hard to take on people who are against her. Trust is fairly easy to gain, and even easier to lose. Once lost, it is extremely difficult to gain it back.<br/><br/>-Charles's pacifist and gentle approach to the Brotherhoods rampant violence.<em>Mr. Xavier is a great man, and a wonderful teacher. I just don't think he's going about dealing with the Brotherhood the right way. They are really bad dudes!</em><br/>-The U.S government rounding up and tagging or imprisoning mutants.<em>It was my understanding that the U.S. Government couldn't just round up citizens. Mutants are people too! This is bulllshit!</em><br/>-The Brotherhoods 'mutants first' ideology and terrorism.<em>I understand the anger. I really do. But aren't they just proving the point of scared humans? You want to change the perception, go about it the right way!</em><br/><br/><strong>Biography:</strong>Kitty's life began like any other. She grew up in Illinois, in a quaint suburb with a mother and father who loved her. Elementary school she showed promise as a bright student, and Kitty always had lots of friends. Even at the start of middle school, Kitty was popular and smart. Her friends always liked her, and her teachers seemed to think she would have a promising future, something that brought her parents lots of pride.<br/><br/>Everything seemed to change when she turned 13. While she continued to do well, when she turned 13, Kitty began to have really bad headaches. At first, it seemed that she was just complaining. But passing out in class one day showed that she was serious. Her parents took her to the hospital, though they couldn't find anything. No doctors truly saw anything wrong, but they were all looking for something wrong wIt's her brain. The issues were more complex...her body was changing, because her powers were beginning to flourish.<br/><br/>Before her 14th birthday, her powers seemed to blossom. Kitty was introduced to her phasing abilities by falling asleep in her bed, and waking up on her fathers desk. It took a few weeks for her to gain some form of control over her powers, but by then, she had gained the attention of the government. Luckily for Kitty, she had also gained the attention of Charles Xavier, who had brought her on to become a student at the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters. It has been here that she has stayed since turning 14, and has enjoyed working with the school, and with the X-Men.<br/><br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Superpowers &amp; Equipment</span></strong></span><br/><br/><strong>Class:</strong>Gamma<br/><br/><strong>Power Name:</strong>"Phasing". Kitty is able to phase through solid objects without harm to herself. She has learned to be able to phase objects and people that she is touching, but has not learned to "phase" through the air to learn to fly. She also cannot phase through things she cannot see. She is also a millennial, and as such is a computer whiz. Kitty is also an accomplished martial artist.<br/><br/><strong>Equipment Name:</strong>Being able to phase, Kitty doesn't often wear armor. However, in battle she will carry electrified batons, which she can use with wonderful effect of disabling her opponent.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><span class="bbc_u"><strong><strong>Flaws or Weaknesses</strong></strong></span></span><br/><br/><strong>Weakness Name:</strong>Strength: Kitty isn't super-human in the way of strength. She cannot take someone with superhuman strength.<br/><br/>Mystical: while phasing, Kitty is vulnerable to mystical attacks (like Jean Greys psychic abilities).<br/><br/>Respiratory: Kitty cannot breathe while phasing through solid or liquid objects. Because of this, her phasing only lasts as long as she can hold her breath. This does not cause problems when phasing through people, as she has seen that phasing limbs through enemies can cause them immense damage, but does not hurt her.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Flaw Name:</strong>Kitty can be jealous to a fault. She has also been known to be exceptionally vindictive.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Other</strong></span><br/><br/>COLOSSUS - Kitty and Piotr have an odd relationship of sorts. Technically they are keeping a very strict teacher/student dynamic. However, this hasn't stopped them from giving each other the occasional "look". If asked, Kitty would absolutely poo-poo any idea of romantic feelings towards the massive man. However, deep down, she know that there is something in him that she wants to see more of. That he is easy on the eyes doesn't hurt either.<br/><br/>PRODIGY - Kitty hated math. Okay, so she doesn't HATE it, but it has never been her favorite subject. At least, not until David came along. When he told her the importance of math in coding, and how it can be used for Danger Room scenarios, she was all in, absolutely. Now she thinks of him like a mentor.<br/><br/>LEGION - She has know Legion for as long as she has been at the school. Or rather, know OF him. He is one of the only people she feels comfortable telling her story too, and opening up to. Him and all his personalities..though a couple she tends to stay guarded with. Still, he is worth talking too, and has made the transition to the school a lot easier than it could have been.<br/><br/>CYCLOPS - best friends for LIFE! Despite the age difference, these two are as thick as thieves! Kitty loves Salem to death, and gods above help anyone that would cross her!
