== Character Biography ==
At five-years-old, Kitty is living in India with her widowed father, Colonel Geoffrey Brydon. The two are being toured through the Indian jungle led by Nathoo and his five-year-old son Mowgli. The group learns that Shere Khan the tiger is stalking the group after he catches Buldeo and two other men killing animals for fun, which is against the jungle law. The group sets up camp, where Kitty gives Mowgli her mother's bracelet as a sign of friendship. When Shere Khan attacks the camp and kills Nathoo and two of Brydon's men who killed animals for sport, Kitty is heartbroken when she learns from her father that Mowgli has gone. 
Years later, Kitty is in the jungle with her father's friend, Dr. Julius Plumford and is reunited with Mowgli (who has been raised by the animals of the jungle following his father's death) though neither recognise the other. Despite initially frightening Kitty by trying to give her flowers and a kiss, Mowgli impresses Kitty by 'fighting' off his friend, Baloo the bear. Kitty soon finds her lover, Captain William Boone, who growls at her affectionately, causing Mowgli to run to her defense, thinking Boone is about to hurt Kitty. Much to Kitty's amusement, Mowgli throws Boone into a river. When Boone's men arrive to defend him, Mowgli easily pushes all of them, apart from Lt. John Wilkins, into the river, again amusing Kitty. Wilkins pulls out his revolver to shoot Mowgli on the orders of Boone, though is hesitant to do so when Kitty tells him that Mowgli is harmless. The men and Kitty are soon frightened off by the arrival of Bagheera and Baloo. 
Days later, Mowgli enters Kitty's house and again offers her a flower and a kiss. Mowgli soon impresses her with his ability to talk to her parrot. Kitty asks his name in both English and Hindi but Mowgli cannot answer. Kitty soon realises that Mowgli is wearing her mother's bracelet and finally realises who he is. Boone and his men soon enter and try to capture Mowgli, much to Kitty's protests. After Mowgli is imprisoned, Kitty and Dr. Plumford tell Brydon who the new prisoner is, using Kitty's mother's bracelet as proof. Kitty and Plumford persuade Brydon to release Mowgli and teach him the ways of man. In turn, Mowgli brings Kitty to the jungle and introduces her to his animal friends; the two soon find themselves falling in love again. Brydon, however, is angry that Kitty has been spending so much time with Mowgli and decides to send her back to England, unless he can find a better offer. 
Boone later proposes to Kitty and she accepts. Brydon announces this at a party, though Kitty calls off her engagement with Boone following Boone and his men's cruel treatment of Mowgli who returns to his home in the jungle. Kitty's father decides to send her back to England following her rejection of Boone. However, on the road to Jaipur, Brydon, Kitty and Plumford are attacked by bandits. Whilst shooting the bandits, Brydon is wounded much to Kitty's distress. However, Mowgli, the wolves and Bagheera all soon arrive and kill most of the bandits, but Kitty and her father are kidnapped by Buldeo and his friend Tabaqui, with Plumford being left behind. As they are abducted, they soon encounter Boone, Wilkins and their comrade Sgt. Harley who are in cahoots with Buldeo and Tabaqui, much to their shock. Mowgli soon catches up with them - Boone and his men use Kitty and her father to blackmail Mowgli into leading them to the treasure of Monkey City. 
When the group sets up camp at night, they hear the roars of Shere Khan. Mowgli realises that Shere Khan will be hunting them (most likely because Boone and Wilkins had previously shot Baloo when the latter came to save Mowgli from them) and tells Kitty he must leave the group to protect her, though promises to come back for her. The next morning, Harley drowns in quicksand when trying to chase after Mowgli, who has escaped with Bagheera's help. When the rest of the group leave Brydon behind, Kitty attempts to protest, though the men ignore her. However, much to her relief, she later sees a sign that Brydon is alive, having been helped by Mowgli onto an elephant to the village. As the group continues, they witness Mowgli and Tabaqui fighting atop some cliffs, resulting in Tabaqui falling to his death. Buldeo and Wilkins are ordered to shoot Mowgli but fail thanks to the height of the cliff, with Mowgli jumping to safety. As the group reaches the city, they hear Shere Khan's growl and separate with Wilkins being chased down and killed by the vengeful tiger. Boone hears Wilkins' screams confirming his death, to which Kitty chuckles; Boone says she could also die, but Kitty is adamant that Mowgli will not allow that. The two soon enter the city, where they hear Buldeo being burried in a tomb. As Mowgli approaches, Boone tries to shoot at him, though Kitty stops this whilst sending her and Boone plummeting down to the treasure, knocking Kitty unconscious. 
Mowgli manages to injure Boone with a dagger before Kitty awakens. She tries to take some treasure but Mowgli persuades her that the treasure will only bring death. Boone tries to persuade Kitty to help him gather treasure, but she leaves with Mowgli, finally seeing through Boone's greed. Boone is soon killed by Kaa the snake. As Mowgli and Kitty leave Monkey City, they are cornered by Shere Khan. Kitty witnesses Mowgli roar back at Shere Khan without fear, being accepted as a fellow creature of the jungle; due to neither Kitty nor Mowgli breaking the jungle law, the tiger allows them to leave peacefully. Back in the jungle, Mowgli and Kitty are relieved to find that Plumford has managed to cure both Brydon and Baloo. The two finally share a kiss under a waterfall, officially beginning a relationship, as Mowgli is made lord of the jungle.
