History/background: Since my birth it has been no grand secret that I am a mutant. There was no great and traumatizing discovery of my powers. I don’t really remember much of my early childhood, not even my parents.. The farthest back that I can clearly remember was my first appearance in a side show. I was six years old and at that time living with the members of a traveling circus. They treated me well, and most of them were in the same boat as me, a freak. People paid money to see us, and they would stand and stare forever it felt like. One woman fainted when I tried to talk to her… that was the last time I ever spoke to a customer, or anyone outside of the show. I never left our camps whenever we were stopped, I was ashamed… I knew by my experience in the show that there was no way anyone ‘normal’ could accept me. I assumed that this was the only life for me. The other people in the show were not very helpful in lending me information on where I came from. The general answer they gave me was that I fell from the sky. This answer always seemed more absurd to me than anything I had ever seen in all my travels. There came a time, last year, I was 15 and at my lowest low. I felt like I had no purpose, no history, I felt that I only existed to be gawked at. One cold night in Germany I was sitting in my display stall when a man in a wheelchair approached. I looked blandly at him, letting him stare like everyone else. And then… the strangest thing happened. He spoke. But not to the black haired man beside him or to himself, but to me. He told me he had come to offer me help if I would take it. It all sounded to good to be true, going to school in America with others like me that were my age. People who wouldn’t look at me as a freak.. And one of the best things of all, an image inducer. It looks just like a wrist watch but now I am free to go wherever I want in public with the push of a button. I am finally feeling like I belong somewhere, the X-men give me a sense of purpose.
