johnbyrnedraws: Concept drawing of Kitty Pryde by John Byrne from 1978. John Byrne from X-Men Companion II on the creation of Kitty. “And I remembered somebody at a con or somewhere saying that he thought it would be nice if there was a constant change of cast in the X-Men and that the new kids wore the old costumes until they graduated when they got individualized costumes. So you would have four or five Kittys running around wearing the old costumes, who would be like the second team. And then, when I started to figure what I wanted the first one to be, I instinctively thought of a little girl. She started about 18, and as I drew her she got younger and younger.” A young Sigourney Weaver was how the face started to evolve when I started looking for the face. A couple of them started to look that way and I said, “Okay, that’s fine. She can grow up to be Sigourney Weaver. That’s a nice image.” “At one point (writer) Chris Claremont said we should call her Thunderbird, and I didn’t like that at all but it put the “bird” name into my head and I started writing down bird names, trying to think of a name for her, and one of the ones I wrote for her was Kitty Hawk. And then I remembered a girl I knew in college whose name was Kitty Pryde, and I always felt that was a neat name, so as soon as I wrote “Kitty Hawk” I thought, “No, Kitty Pryde that will be her real name.” And then I came up with Sprite, and then we got all these Fresca jokes so we changed it to Ariel and just before going to press I said, “No, Sprite,” the original name. Because Ariel doesn’t tell you anything about her, but you can pick her out of the group on the basis of the name Sprite. I think I also saw The Tempest on PBS and realized that Ariel was a male.”
