Powers: Kit was a strong-willed and outspoken woman capable of berating an opponent into surrender, and if that didn't work she knew how to brawl. She was an accomplished artist.

History: (Hellblazer I #42 (fb, BTS) - <1980s> Young Kit started dating occultist Brendan Finn. The couple was friends with English magician John Constantine, who loved them both. He began to fall for Kit, who he called Miss Ireland, but out of respect for Brendan he never made a move. Years later Kit would break up with Finn because of his alcoholism.

(Hellblazer I #274, 275) - John set the wedding date for his marriage to Epiphany, and Kit shed a tear when she opened the invitation. Kit met John outside his flat, and they were at each other's throats in a few minutes. Kit asked him why Epiphany was "the one," and John said he didn't have to hide anything from her. He admitted he'd loved Kit, but was more in love with Epiphany. The Demon Constantine took John's place at the wedding, and Nergal used Afghan mobsters to raid the ceremony, but John took care of his doppelganger and killed Nergal.
