This sometimes tempts more confrontational people to step in and fight her battles for her. Someone with a tendency to be more hotblooded, like Scott for example, often jumps in with their own two cents to defend her. During these situations, Kitty just watches from the sidelines, unhappy that a fight’s broken out, and sometimes adding her opinion, but usually not bold enough to step in and end it herself. But that doesn’t mean she won’t stick up for her friends. If she sees someone being bullied, she’ll step right in and come to that person’s aid if she thinks she stands a chance of helping. And she’s definitely not afraid to try to be the voice of reason if somebody’s taking things too far.
But this doesn’t mean she can’t be passionate. When there’s a job to be done, Kitty will stop at nothing to do it. And while she may let her emotions take over, she has no problem pushing them to the side when it’s time to get serious. This makes her a very unshakably determined person with incredible focus and belief in what she feels is right.
In the beginning, out of all the X-men recruits, Kitty had to do the most adjusting. So many of the X-men have had rough lives, came from broken homes, or had tragic backstories. Then there’s Kitty, the normal girl who never had to worry about much more than what she was gonna wear the next day before all this happened. Because of this, she tended to be the most openly wary of some of the stranger aspects of the team, judging things heavily by appearance. Nightcrawler, for example, disturbed her greatly in the beginning of the series. But as they got to know each other, Kitty began to accept Kurt for who he is, judging him by his personality instead of what he looked like. In time, they became very close, and Kitty learned to be more accepting of people like him.
Now, Kitty’s harder to surprise, and she’s much more considerate of people’s feelings. Though she’s still very much a girlie-girl, and if she thinks something’s gross, she’s gonna flip out about it. If it’s a person, she’ll be much more patient than she was before, getting to know them better before passing judgment.
However, like most kids her age, she’s very susceptible to peer pressure. She just wants to fit in and do the “cool” thing. And even though she’s fairly level-headed, she can make some pretty bad judgment calls. She’s easily persuaded by things that sound good in theory - like throwing a house party with her friends at the Institute while the Professor is away, or buying a hat that supposedly focuses your brain waves so she could do better on a test - that usually turn out bad in the end. But Kitty’s young, and even though she’s very bright and intuitive, someone at her age is bound to make mistakes. The good thing is Kitty usually learns from her mistakes and never makes them twice.
Kitty is also incredibly observant. A lot of the times she likes to have some time to herself to just think about the world and people around her, which gives her very good insight into people’s motivations and behavior. People interest Kitty, and she likes watching them go about their lives from the sidelines.
Overall, Kitty is a very well-balanced girl. Her life with the X-men and her identity as a normal teenager coincide almost seamlessly despite other people’s judgment. And though she enjoys sitting back and pondering the world around her, she still loves taking charge, having a good time, and living life to the fullest.
