The woman who voices Shadowcat should be commended for her excellent work as Kitty Pryde. One of the reasons she's my favorite character on this show is because of the liveliness of her character. Never has she been more earnest than here, where she meets a new friend, Danielle Moonstar, a Native American she found abandonded in a canyon.
Kitty goes so far as to bring Daniel home and she even tries to be a part of the team- but her ability to create illusions is a liability, and the next day she disappeared. Was Shadowcat dreaming? Is she going crazy? The remainder of the episode falls into a procedural, as she and Nightcrawler try to uncover the mystery. Very different from other X-Men eps, but the emotion and connection between the two girls comes across very well. Cool guest role by Moonstar and her power.moreless
Kitty is saved from a rockslide by a mutant girl named Danielle Moonstar. Danielle quickly joins the institute, but immediately causes trouble during a training session when she causes the nightmares of Jean, Kurt, and Kitty to come true. That night, Logan, Professor X, and Storm also have powerful nightmares, worrying Kitty that her new friend will be expelled from the institute. When Kitty wakes up the next morning, Danielle isn't there -- and when she asks, nobody has even heard of her. Kitty is determined to find Danielle Moonstar, and follows a path of strange messages that only she is receiving to her location.moreless

Of the 9 main New Mutants from the comics (Mirage, Cannonball, Sunspot, Karma, Wolfsbane, Magma, Magik, Cypher, and Warlock), only Cypher has not appeared in either X-Men cartoon. Mirage (Danielle Moonstar) appeared in this episode, and Sunspot, Magma, Cannonball, and Wolfsbane have been recurring characters. Cannonball and Wolfsbane also appeared in the 1992 series (Cannonball in "Night of the Sentinals", "Repo Man", and "Hidden Agenda", while Wolfsbane appeared in "Cold Comfort" with the rest of X-Factor). Magik (Illyana Rasputin) appeared as a child in "Red Dawn". Karma was seen briefly in "Beyond Good and Evil, Part 2: Promise of Apocalypse", and Warlock met Beast in "The Phalanx Covenant", parts 1 & 2.
-
Dani has the same nationality as Forge.
-
Jean, Kurt, and Kitty are all afraid of their powers going awry. This marks the second appearence of those dinosaur monsters from the "bamf" dimension.
-
Maggie Blue O'Hara, who voices Kitty Pryde (Shadowcat), gets to say part of her name in this episode. When Kitty looks for the Moonstar residence in the phone book, she says it's at 760 Maggie Blue Road.
-
Dani was born in Boulder, Colorodo and her parents are William and Peg Lonestar.
-
Dani Moonstar is a Northern Cheyenne Indian.
-
Based on the conclusion of this episode, it is unlikely that Dani actually joined the New Mutants, but will remain an ally and a possible future student, like Forge and Angel.
-
Dani Moonstar (codename Psyche, then Mirage) was one of the five original New Mutants in the comics, which included: Cannonball, Sunspot, Wolfsbane, and Karma.
-
In the comic, Danielle's grandfather was an old friend of Xaviers. Danielle was also the second leader of the New Mutants (after Karma) a title she shared with Cannonball. When she was transported to Asgard by Loki, she found and rescued a pegasus of the Valkyrie herd. The pegasus bonded with Danielle, making her a Valkyrie and giving her the powers that come with the title. Later in that storyline, she battle the Norse Goddess, Hela, for Wolverine's soul.
