CONCEPT: Slightly late arrival both literally and in commitment to the X-Men, Kitty's racing to make up for lost time now that she's learned her own potential. She's from an upper middle class home where she was raised as a very gifted and talented child. While she doesn't often take a leadership role, she's a consistent and steady behind the scenes support who will jump into fires if she thinks it will help her teammates. Or because the fire looks fun.
PERSONALITY: Playful, friendly nerd. Overconfident. Cocky. Strong underlying idea of I Can Handle It when she can probably not Handle It. Consequent impulsivity. Loyal and generous to her team and their students. Slight to moderate anti-authoritarian streak. Very intelligent, a little too smart for her own good, in fact. Looks as she leaps, which is often (but not always) enough. Strong sense of justice that she personally sets out to rectify when crossed. Witty, verbose, overlying paint job of being carefree. Unflinchingly honest, will say what she means to her/everyone's detriment. Not afraid of getting in little scuffles but forgives easily, especially with friends.
TIMELINE
2016: Kitty's powers first emerge at age 14, and she is shortly after asked to join Charles Xavier. Bad timing; her parents were fighting every day and she is thriving in school. Kitty refuses,on grounds that she does not need this level of intervention. Stigma against mutants plays into this choice. If she could control it herself, and escape that label, why wouldn't she?
2017: Found So quickly she could not control it herself. There's a phasing disaster at prom. (Have you ever fallen through a prom date? Kitty has. 0/5 stars.) She graduates early, anyway. Her parents divorce, anyway. She hadn't stopped that. She moves her plans to attend college to a virtual setup, and accepts Xavier's second offer.
Immediately kind of a challenge at the school. She was talented, a quick learner, and bonded quickly with the team, but was a little feral and resistant to structure. This was her "Professor Xavier is a Jerk" era; some growing pains especially directed at authority as she tried to decide if she was in the right place, and probably some parent issues too, if we are honest.
2018Wildways: First big mission! She loves it despite herself and it's the first big indication that she couldn't go back to being the little suburban girl anymore. Nor does she actually want to. That girl didn't have a cool dragon. In Mojoworld, she's portrayed relatively positively, an underdog/newcomer story, especially when she is saved by Lockheed, with whom her image is now forever bonded.
2019:Days of Future Past: A future version of herself possesses her body and warns her friends of impending doom if they don't stop the assassination of some asshole Senator who she hates. Nice. While Older Kate is mostly on business during this event, she and Young Kitty have some conversations in their shared head, where Kate tells her just a little of what her life looks like in the future, and how she'd overcome some of Kitty's current emotional struggles. Young Kitty emerges from this experience with a quiet new resolve to become that other person, someday.
2020:God Loves, Man Kills: Kitty is and had been a proponent of going public, wanting to claim their identities as mutants from a place of pride, not shame. The Professor's kidnapping and subsequent events challenged this belief, but did not change it all the way.
2021: When the school opened up to new mutants, Kitty is immediately there to take them under her (or like, Lockheed's,) wing. She was never as public facing as some others in the school because of her espionage and hacker roles, but she did go public in support of those who had to. Here or slightly later, she hacked Senator Kelly's social media accounts to post pro-Mutant rhetoric. Thought she was a funny genius for this move. She was not caught, but it was pretty obvious where this came from for all who knew her.
2022: The arrival of the Sentinels seemed to point to a future she thought she'd helped avert. Does this mean her future self was wrong? Or she'd done something to mess it up here? Tried to figure out time travel via phasing to go ask her, which Could be possible, eventually, but she has no luck. To make herself feel better, practically riddles the internet with anti-MRA sentiment and no pro-MRA comment section knows rest.
At the same time, she finds herself higher in the X-Men ranks than she'd prefer, with Kurt vanished and Scott in charge. Kitty discovers her powers meant she could step through dimensions, and she does, once, to rescue her friend. Still, doing it even once leaves her drained for days, and she has never attempted this again.
2023:X-Tinction Agenda: Incensed when her friends, faculty, and students start going missing from the school, she's incredibly bossy on this mission. Apologies. She stays in Genosha after the rescue to assist with rebuilding technology. Befriends some of the Acolytes as she does. Maybe kisses one depending on how big of a mess she's feeling. (Pretty big mess).
2024: She returns to the Institute and establishes herself as an annoying (again) form of support to all her teammates who had just been kidnapped (again). During the holidays, doesn't leave the Institute to go back to Chicago at all for maybe the first time (missions allowing).
2025: Honestly kind of shamefully glad to have the 8 back in one place. Let's do some saving.
