Kitty Pryde is the kid in the class. She is young, naive and totally idealistic. She's in it to fight the good fight and will need no convincing to rush off into battle.

Kitty grew up in Northbrook, an affluent area outside Chicago -- utterly normally suburban, with her utterly normal parents. They will be shocked to discover how different their "little kitten" is, and they'll be in total denial. When Professor X offers to help Kitty and displays his other students, the Prydes will be utterly horrified and turn down the Professor. But after seeing the X-Men in action, the Pryde family will do an about-face. Kitty will join the Institute, as well as the team.

Kitty's powers enable her to phase through walls. She does this by canceling out the space between atoms, and therefore should not turn transparent when phasing; she does not turn into a ghostly vision.
