Blood Type: O+
Hair: Brown

She could be strict sometimes due to her teachings in the university she is currently now on but most of the time she is more of a carefree spirit person. Kitty takes her work seriously and very rarely takes it out as a joke.
Kitty is also known as a party girl since she will lose control of herself whenever there's a disco ball and loud music plus a dance floor. She loves dancing and it is one of her greatest talents.
Appearance:
Clothing Style: When she's not fighting crimes but just chilling out and hanging around, Kitty Pryde dresses up casually.
::Battle Uniform::
Color: Black
Style: leather suit
Patterns/Markings: The outfit have a symbol of X, below her left shoulder in the color of white.

Relations: Carmen (father, divorced), Theresa ("Terri," mother, divorced), Samuel Prydeman (grandfather, deceased), Chava Rosanoff (great-aunt, deceased)
Weaknesses:Innability to breath while phasing through solid matter (no noteworthy air pockets to breath in)
While phasing can dodge physical attacks, however, psychic, magic and some energy attacks are still valid.
Powers: Levitation: Using her phasing ability, Shadowcat can walk on air. In fact, she can use her ability to walk on the air from the ground to the upper stories of a building as if she were climbing a staircase.
Phasing Extenstion: From the first use of her phasing power, Shadowcat has been able to phase her clothing along with herself. Through practice she has learned to phase other objects along with herself without harm to them, and can now phase a living person as big as her teammate Colossus along with herself. She can also enable someone as big as Colossus to "walk on air" along with her. However, she must maintain physical contact with the person or object she phases along herself for the effect to work with this other person or object.
Electrical Disruption: can phase through any material object, even living people. When she phases through an object with an electrical system, the process disrupts the systems workings.
Telepathic Immunity: her thoughts are highly erratic when phased as if there was no mind to telepathically effect
Affiliation: (Xavier's, Brotherhood, Marauders, Independent): Xaviers
Skills: Shadowcat possesses moderate expertise of the martial arts of the Japanese ninja and samurai. Shadowcat is a genius in computer science. She has continued to take dance training under the tutelage of Stevie Hunter, and is highly agile. Shadowcat demonstrated great knowledge of ninja methods of combat when she was mentally possessed by the Ronin Ogun. With the possession over, Shadowcat has forgotten the knowledge of ninja techniques he gave her, but she has retained the knowledge of Oriental methods of combat taught her by Wolverine.
Shadowcat is an expert in the field of computer science, demonstrating genius-level aptitude for programming, modifying, and diagnosing almost any computer system: even those of unfamilar human and extraterrestrial origin. She has used her skills in many high-stress combat situations to great effect, and in combination with her mutant ability to disrupt electrical systems she is a formidable foe for any enemy relying on advanced technology.
Bio/History: Katherine "Kitty" Pryde was born in Deerfield, Illinois, to Carmen and Theresa Pryde. Her paternal grandfather, Samuel Prydeman. At the age of thirteen, Kitty started suffering from intense recurring headaches, soon followed by the emergence of her mutant power - the ability (called "phasing") to become intangible and walk through solid matter.
Meanwhile, Professor Charles Xavier, founder of the X-Men, a team of mutant adventurers whom he trained in the use of their superhuman powers, located Kitty with his device for finding superhuman mutants, Cerebro. He and three of the X-Men, Colossus, Storm, and Wolverine, set out for Deerfield to contact her and possibly recruit her as a member of the X-Men. Unknown to Xavier, the mercenary Warhawk had planted a device that enabled his employers in the Inner Circle of the Hellfire Club to monitor Cerebro's activities. The Inner Circle thus also learned about Kitty Pryde, and one of its leaders, Emma Frost, the White Queen, also went to contact her.
Shortly thereafter, Pryde was approached by both Professor Charles Francis Xavier and the Hellfire Club's White Queen, Emma Frost. Taking an instant dislike to the White Queen, she chose to go with Xavier. When Emma kidnapped Xavier and the X-Men, Kitty helped fight to free them. Proving herself in this battle, she joined the X-Men, becoming one of the youngest members ever. Her parents, particularly her father, objected to this but Jean Grey used her telepathy to 'convince' them otherwise. This slip in Grey's ethics was one of the first indications of the Dark Phoenix persona's growth in her mind. Unaware of the manipulation, Kitty went to Westchester. In such a stimulating environment and away from the stress of her parents' crumbling marriage her beginning there was a happy one.
Xavier trained superhuman mutants at his School for Gifted Youngsters, whereas Frost was headmistress of the Massachusetts Academy, where she also secretly trained young superhuman mutants such as the Hellions in the use of their powers. Hence, Xavier and Frost would each approach Pryde and her parents as the heads of private schools seeking to recruit her as a talented student. Neither Xavier nor Frost intended to reveal to Kitty's parents that their daughter was a mutant.
Kitty herself was unaware that she was mutant or that she had a superhuman power until the afternoon that Frost arrived to speak to her parents. While Frost was downstairs, Kitty went to her room upstairs, suffering her worst headache ever. Lying on her bed, she closed her eyes, wishing the headache would stop. It did. Kitty opened her eyes, and, to her surprise, found herself lying on the floor of her living room. Without knowing it, Kitty had used her "phasing" power for the first time, and had passed through her bed and the floor into the room below.
As Frost left, Xavier and his three X-Men arrived. The three X-Men took Kitty to a local malt shop, where Kitty and Storm began what evolved into a close friendship. Suddenly three Hellfire Club mercenaries burst into the shop and attacked the X-Men. Surprised and frightened, Kitty moved out of the way and found herself passing through the wall. Landing outside, she fell unconscious since she was still not used to utilizing her power. The White Queen used her telepathic powers to overcome the three X-Men, whom the Hellfire Club took into their hovercraft.
But the brave Kitty had decided to snoop around the hovercraft before it took off, and discovered the X-Men were aboard as prisoners. Unwilling to desert her new friend Storm or the others, she hid aboard the craft and used her new powers to find the captive X-Men in the Frost Industries complex to which the White Queen had taken them. Storm gave Kitty the X-Men's phone number and asked her to summon help. But one of the Hellfire Club mercenaries spotted Pryde, and the White Queen ordered her capture. Using her powers, Pryde got away long enough to phone the number.
Two Hellfire Club mercenaries in a car were just about to capture Pryde in Chicago when they were halted by Phoenix, who had just arrived with her fellow X-Men Cyclops and Nightcrawler in response to Kitty's message. Phoenix found and comforted the frightened Kitty, who told her story to her and her X-Men colleagues. Pryde then helped the X-Men and their ally, the Dazzler, in rescuing their captive colleagues.
Phoenix used her mental powers to calm Carmen Pryde's rage over his daughter's disappearance. Mr. and Mrs. Pryde allowed Kitty to join Xavier's school, and soon afterwards she became the newest member of the X-Men. She originally took the code name Sprite, but later changed it to Ariel. Kitty quickly became a valuable member of the X-Men, so much so that Xavier retained her in the X-Men even after founding a new team, the New Mutants, most of whose members were closer to Kitty in age than the other X-Men were.
Kitty's friendship with Storm has continued, but her best friend was Illyana Rasputin, the New Mutant called Magik. Kitty was deeply affected by Illyana's recent death from the Legacy Virus. Kitty had a romance with her fellow X-Man Colossus, and although it proved to be short-lived, they remain friends today.
*Example Post: The plane finally landed on the airport as Kitty is quite impatient to go back to the academy. Kitty had practically missed her old 'home' and is eager to see it back again. She got up from her seat, grabbing her bag from above and walked out of the airplane. The elevator door slides open and Kitty stepped into the airport. She looks around awhile, scanning the area for any familiar X-Men.
Finally, after five minutes, she gave up as she got no sign of them. Kitty took a deep breath before finding her way out of the airport and to get a taxi.The invitation letter Scott personally handed her was still in her hands. She had read it a couple of times on the plane. Kitty finally found a taxi and got into it. She looked in once again to the letter and read the address that is stated on the left corner of the paper.
The driver nodded his head, as he starts to drive off to the mansion.
The ride to the mansion seemed forever although it was only thirty minutes. As soon as the taxi pulled a stop in front of the mansion, Kitty got out of the taxi quickly. She grins as she look at the sight before her eyes, the academy she once studied in, the mansion she once lived in but most of all, the place were she still call as home.
Kitty thanked the driver as he helped her take the back out of the trunk. She then paid him before he left. Kitty took another deep breath before stepping in front of the gate, ringing the bell. This is it... she thought as she bit her bottom lip excitedly. Kitty tries to look over the gate before bending her head a little to look at the ground.
