Personal rule: All new kids get their own. Sorry, Tracy!

kitty pryde - x-men: evolution
Kitty Pryde comes from X-Men Evolution, which was a Kids' WB cartoon that ran from 2000-2004, or as I thought, 2000-2002 because the Kids' WB pulled a Fox with it and never showed it so that I thought it was canceled long before it was. It's a reboot of the X-Men series, the same on Kurt and Jean come from (but not their timelines). Basically they took Storm and Wolverine (and Beast later) and made them instructors, and turned a bunch of the other mutants into high schoolers who attend Bayville High School while training to be X-Men at the Xavier Institute. (Cuz that's what every teen wants: two go to TWO SCHOOLS AT ONCE.)
Kitty is one of them. From Northbrook, IL (why not Deerfield? Good question. Why not, show?) she's 15 years old and a sophomore. She's basically a good kid who aside from being a mutant is just your typical teenage girl who takes astrophysics in high school (!!!!!). She doesn't talk like a Valley girl anymore (why did she to begin with? Another good question.) but overuses "like" and gets babbly around cute boys and gets into fights with her roommate and all that normal teenagery stuff. She can't cook. If she gets into Home Ec, I'm very sorry to all of you. (No I'm not.) She can't drive. When I play with this and oh dear god I will play with this, I will be stalking all y'all with cars on island and apologizing to you then. She's a dancer, and is really smart (see also astrophysics) and in comics canon is a computer genius (Goddess of Computing, whatev). Evolution doesn't play this up much at all (and in one rage-inducing instance randomly contradicts it to bring in another mutant) but I take some early comments to mean that she can do it, she just doesn't have a lot of reason to.
She can get freaked out easily, and when she came to the X-Men it took her a while to adjust to the weird, so her first few days in Fandom are bound to be a little nerve-wracking for her. She doesn't really know about things like aliens or vampires and werewolves or anything, so if you're open about it with her she might be all "........" at you and take a bit of time to get used to you. She will come around, she's a mutant. It'd be hypocritical of her not to. Otherwise she should be pretty easy to get along with. (Though I suspect Rose will hate her. I am sorry, but I can't help that Fandom comes with its own too-tall older hot Russian preinstalled!)
Overall she should be like my easiest character to play ever. La.
For the record, Kitty is based off the comics version, so if there is anything that comes up IG that doesn't have an X Ev explanation, I'll be defaulting to the comics answer for it. So don't think I'm just making stuff up. And the fact that she's not from the comics themselves means she won't even know all the X-Men. But since I've already been asked about it, if you want to drop any knowledge your character has of any version of Kitty on her, I've got no problem with that. :D
And before anyone asks, yes I'm using Lucy Hale as her PB instead of Ellen Page. As much as I love her, go watch this episode and tell me you can see Ellen playing her unironically. It's okay, I'll wait.
like she can walk through walls and stuff
Kitty's mutant power is that she can walk through walls. It's my second most-wanted superpower. (First is pyrokinesis. I should not have superpowers.) More accurately, she can choose to make herself intangible so that she can pass through an object, which is called phasing. It doesn't really matter what the substance is, she's passed through trees, walls, people, rock, giant computers, she can go through it. She's also able to take others with her as long as there's physical contact, and if she passes through anything electronic/electrical, she'll short it out.
She's coming from after the Ev ep Mainstream, after the kids were caught on tape using their powers on the news. Hey, guess whose secret's out! They were nearly kicked out of school for being mutants (hello, discrimination laws?), the other kids at school were not all that nice about it, and in the episode Kitty makes a point of saying she was afraid to go back. For FH purposes she also said to her parents, who wanted to take her back home. Since the episode does get better, I'm saying that Xavier offered up another alternative, this school in Maryland, as a compromise, and that Kitty's welcome back at any time. Coming from this episode, this means Kitty will be quiet her powers right up until the point she finds out like half the school has them, and half of them are X-Men *g*, and then you'll see her forgoing the use of doors all the freaking time.
um, didn't we used to have a kitty...?
So for those who don't know their game history, way back at the start of the game, Angelus killed a version of Kitty before he was souled. It's been years since it happened and only one person from then is still on island (hi Anakin!), and this Kitty is a different version than the one who came before. No one should be forced to deal with anything they don't want to, and I don't want to cause issues for any old school characters without the players being okay with it.
If there is anything you want to work out ICly, I am more than willing to work with you. And if you want to avoid her and don't want to deal with it at all, I'm perfectly okay with that too. It's not something I'll be drawing attention to for my girl at all for my purposes, but I'm completely fine with her finding out what happened, and she'll deal with it. Yeah, she's from a kids' cartoon, but she's an X-Man. She'd have to learn about alternate universes and character deaths sometime. (Sigh. Damn you, Joss Whedon. DAMN YOU.)
