::She was sound asleep in her bed, wearing nothing more than a silk, flannel shirt. The covers were down by her feet as she snored peacefully. It was a Saturday morning, a day when she didn't have to get up early to go to class. However, at about 9AM, the phone rang and she picked it up:: Hello.... ::her voice was low and muffled, showing she was still half asleep. As she yawned, she finally recognized the voice over the phone. It was Kurt, calling to make sure she was still feeling all right, since it had been one week since the mark of Piotr being dead for one year:: Yea Kurt, I'm feeling great. ::she gave another yawn as she grabbed one of her stuffed teddy bears and cuddled with it as she listened to Kurt:: What do you mean you want me to come there and see everyone? I told the Professor I need to do things my own way. ::she listened to Kurt a bit more before se sighed:: Ok Kurt. I have a couple months off from school coming up in a week anyway. I should be there sometime next week. ::after she hung up the phone, she turned on her back and staired at the ceiling. Well, it looked like she was going back to the place she had called home for so long. She wouldn't get involved in any missions though. Those days for her are over::

IC:
Name:Katherine Pryde
Alias:Kitty
Age: 24
Height: 5'4
Weight: 115 lbs
Weapon: She has a yellow glove that has three shards from Wolverine's claws attached to it. She is usually seen wearing this glove on her left hand.
Ability: She has the ability to pass through solid matter by passing her atoms through the spaces between the atoms of the object through which she is moving. In this way she and the object through which she is passing can temporarily merge without interacting, and each is unharmed when Shadowcat has finished passing through the object. (Commonly known as phasing.) When Shadowcat is phasing, she is, for all intents ad purposes, intangible. Meaning projectiles will pass right through her with no harm done. While phasing Shadowcat is still vulnerable to psionic or mystical attack.

She can phase through any material object, which includes people.However, when she phases through something that has an electrical system, she usually causes the system to stop functioning correctly. She can also walk on air and can phase any object and/or living person with her as long as she is making contact with them.
Special Abilities: She is extremely intelligent. Great with computers. And a well trained ninja.
eyes: Hazel
hair: Brown
skin tone: Tan
clothes: Usually a pair of tight fiting, leather pants with a black, tight fitting halter top.
other special appearances: She has a tattoo of Lockheed on her right arm.
personality: Outgoing, Freindly, Strong-Willed, Caring
Quirks: Can get very angry at times and can also be quite stubborn if something doesn't go her way.
history: She had a huge crush on Colossus almost from the day they met, and the two did fall in love, but Peter dumped Kitty after his experiences with Zsaji during the Secret Wars.

During the Mutant Massacre, Kitty was injured by Harpoon, whose energy harpoon interfered with her power. She was unable to stop her phasing, and her molecules began to drift farther and farther apart. If not for the assistance of the Fantastic Four and Dr. Doom, Kitty would have completely dissipated.

Soon after, the X-Men "died" Kitty helped form Excalibur. Little by little Kitty has regained control over her power, and is now substantial on a regular basis, although it is sometimes a strain.

While a member of Excalibur, Kitty discovered that she had become the holder of her best friend Illyana's (Magik) Soulsword, an item of great mystical power, when Illyana reverted back to her true age of 6. The sword was coveted by Dr. Doom, but ended up in the possession of Darkoth. However, after Illyana's death, the sword returned to Kitty and was actually incorporated into her body, though she didn't know it until months later.

In the meantime, she befriended and then fell in love with Pete Wisdom, a former spy who joined Excalibur. Then a magician named Darkmoor came to find the Soulsword, which was affecting Kitty's personality. Kitty and Daytripper managed to defeat the demon, and Kitty handed the Soulsword over to Daytripper.

Kitty's relationship with Pete continued, even through the return of Colossus to Earth after the fall of Avalon and his subsequent joining up with the Excalibur team.

However, after an adventure as a temporary agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., in which she not only fought the disembodied spirit of Ogun, but also met a really nice guy her age, who was subsequently killed, Kitty broke up with Pete Wisdom and he left the team.

Shortly therafter, Kitty, along with Colossus and Nightcrawler left Excalibur to rejoin the X-Men in America. Not long after the battle of the Twelve, Kitty underwent a large personality shift. She became more rebellious and hard-edged than before, and started carrying one of Wolverine broken bone claws as a weapon.

She got involved with the Neo Seth, who believed she was Neo, too. During Seth's attempt to sabotage the High Evolutionary's space station, which was appropriated by NASA, he knocked Kitty out and planned to save her life. Kitty escaped and knocked him around until they had to flee the station, but she went back out into space to phase a falling beam that would have crushed the shuttle. Kitty found her way inside and found a suit that Seth had intended for her to use. She put it on and it took her to Earth, but where she landed is unknown.

Recently, Kitty apparently showed up back at the X-Mansion, only to find that Colossus had sacrificed his life to host the cure for the Legacy Virus. She volunteered to take Peter's ashes back to the Ust-Ordinski Collective where he was raised. Afterwards she returned to college, where she apparently had been for some time, and wrote a letter to Professor X stating that she needed to fulfill her own dream in her own way, and asking that the X-Men not contact her. Professor X agreed, and deleted all references to Kitty from the X-Men's computer system.

Kitty attended Robert Heinlein University in Chicago and settled into "normal" life, with an apartment and a part-time job tending bar. She continued to search for her father, who had been in Genosha when the Sentinels decimated the mutant population there.

While she no longer considered herself a "superhero," the rising anti-mutant tide and certain dangerous situations forced her to use her powers and skills. After saving a family from a fire, she returned to find a clip of her father in her system, telling her to make him proud. Exactly what Kitty plans to do now is uncertain.
