MARVEL GIRL // 21 // X-MEN // LINDY BOOTH
"If you knew the kind of person you used to be...the work we did together..."[/color]
:: Personality ::
Jean is a relatively shy young lady. She spends a lot of her time focusing on school work and having not much of a social life. She's very concerned with making a respectable name for herself within the human community as a mutant. She shares Charles Xavier's vision for the future, a society where humans and mutants alike could live together in harmony, however she recognizes the difficulties that accompany such a goal.
Not accustomed to failure, Jean is an incredibly determined individual. She will not back down from a goal unless it has been deemed absolutely impossible. And even then you have to pretty much beat her over the head with that fact. She is also incredibly loyal, not willing to falter from her cause or her friends for any reason at all. She's likely to sacrifice her life to save her friends, if the situation were ever to arise.
Jean was raised by honest, hard working parents and that has left her very goal oriented, however slightly ignorant of the difficulties that face the lower class. In the past few years, Jean has learned a lot and her time at NYU has opened her eyes to quite a bit. She has grown a passion for helping other people, in whatever trials lie ahead of them.
"You're not the only one with gifts."
:: Mutation ::
- Telepathy: Jean possesses the potential to be an incredibly powerful telepath with abilities ranging from entering and traveling the astral plane to entering the mind of an enemy and mentally stunning them for a time.
- Telekinesis: along with her telepathy, Jean has the power to move objects, generate near impenetrable force fields and stimulate and heat molecules to generate a concussive blast.
As of yet, Jean's control over these powers is limited and she is apprehensive to push herself too hard.
"Living from day to day, moving from place to place, with no memory of who or what you are."
:: History ::
Jean was born to Professor John Grey and his wife Elaine. Having a relatively normal and happy childhood with her older sister, Jean seemed like a well-adjusted, normal little girl. She enjoyed the simple things in her life, playing in the yard and not really realizing how privileged she truly was.
Jean met and mingled well with the neighbourhood children, being a polite and mild mannered young child left her in the good graces of their parents.
Over the course of her childhood, the young Jean Grey grew quite close with Annie Richardson. In their younger years they were nearly inseparable, becoming more like sisters than anything else. However, one tragic day in Jeannie's tenth year, Annie was struck by a car while they were playing. The high emotional stress of the situation triggered Jean's inherent abilities and she entered her dying friends mind, thus experiencing Annie's death first hand.
Experiencing the emotions and rationalization of a dying mind was so traumatizing to Jean that she spent the next three years of her life in a near catatonic state. Near the end of this time, Jean's parents had taken her to Charles Xavier for treatment as a last-ditch effort to being her out of it.
Unknown to Jean at the time, the experience that she had that day split her personality, and upon discovering this Xavier put blocks up in her mind to prevent the more volatile side from surfacing and to help her control the full extent of her powers.
Of course Charles would take her into his newly established boarding school for 'gifted' youngsters, and train her to be on t he subsequent team.
Over the years that she spent at Xavier's, she trained hard and buried herself in her schoolwork so that when the time came, she would be able to protect herself and get into a decent college.
For the past three years, Jean has been studying psychology at NYU and working at the institute, trying to help the troubled teens that enter those doors to the best of her ability.
