Rogue
she beautiful, young and powerful. once a supervillian, who had no choice but to seek out the xmen to help her control her powers but to no avail. we've watched her change uniforms hairstyles and eye colors. we watched her fall in love with gambit and can't do anything about it. she is a complex character with a terrible circumstance.

I like Kitty Pryde, (Shadowcat) because she was younger than all the other X-Men, but probably still the most outspoken ones. Some of her quotes are amazing...
Kitty *to entire high school*: "Some of you know me. Most don't. I'm here because I guess I knew Larry Bodine best. I hardly knew him at all. If I had, maybe we wouldn't be at this memorial assembly. Who was he then, that we gather to mourn him? Who am I? A four-eyed, flat-chested, brat, chick, brain, hebe, stuck-up Xavier's snob freak! Don't like the words? I could use nicer. I've heard worse. Who here hasn't? So often, so casually, that maybe we've forgotten the power they have to hurt. ******, ****, wop, slope, ******, mutie -- the list is so long and so cruel. They're labels. Put-downs. And they hurt.
But, usually, we laugh it off or hit back -- with words of our own, or fists -- or we suffer in silence. No big deal -- this is the rough edge of reality, right? Why make a fuss? Trouble was, when someone labeled Larry Bodine a "mutie" they hit home -- because he was. His power created beauty. That's it. He did with light and color what Mozart did with music. And he wanted nothing more than to be accepted by his peers, and possibly even liked -- And isn't that what any of us really want? To have friends, people to care for us? Not to be alone? If we're lucky we have someone to turn to. Larry didn't. He thought, if people knew the truth, they'd stop seeing him and see only the label, the brand, his personal "scarlet letter." So he hid the truth and lived in terror of being discovered. He even joined in when others put mutants down. What matter the cost to his soul if it made his life a little better. That's the tragedy, that's our shame.
Think of what you say. Imagine it being said about you. It's easy to make fun, real easy to be cruel. Try sometime being on the recieving end. If we're to learn anything from Larry's death, it should be this...
You want to know who I am? I'm Katherine Pryde. That's the only thing that matters. The rest are just labels."

Kitty *to Illyana while watching Piotr talk to angry mob*: "Peter must be crazy for pulling a stunt like this. And I must be crazier for going along"
Kitty *to angry mob*: "Hey mister -- who defines what's human?"
Guy in mob: "It's obvious, girl. Just open your eyes."
Kitty: "That simple huh? Well, a whole chunk of my family was murdered in gas chambers because the Nazis said it was just as "obvious" that Jews weren't human. And not so long ago, in this country, people felt the same about blacks. Some still do. Is that right?"
Guy in mob *talking about Nightcrawler who is lying looking helpless*: "He scared my kids!"
Kitty *with Piotr, Illyana and Kurt behind her*: "You scare ME! Does that give me the right to beat your brains out?! You want to prove how big and tough you are -- beat up on me! C'mon want're you waiting for?! You're bigger'n me, an I'm just a girl! Hey -- maybe I'm a mutie, too?! Ever think of that?!! Maybe we all are?!! Maybe the big guy can turn into steel and his kid sister's a demon sorceress and I can walk through walls. Maybe, when you're done, you can hang our heads on your wall as trophies. Or, better yet, take our scalps, like they did in the Wild West. That'll really be something to be proud of."
Lady in crowd: "You shouldn't talk so to your elders, young lady."
Kitty: "I don't -- to those I respect."
-----------
Those are two amazing quotes.

Personally, I've always been a fan of Psylocke.
She's been through a whole crapload of stuff, yet she just keeps on going. Doesn't hurt that she's a psychic ninja with nifty costumes.
It's all about the ninja.
