This Woman’s Tale Begins With:

Jennifer was born to a navy seal and his new wife. Her dad was a hard worker while he was at work but he never brought his problems home - once he was at home it was family time. Her mom was laid back and had become accustomed to how much moving her family would be doing with her husbands job. In any town they lived in she would pick up a small job to bring in extra money but nothing that she would have to make a lengthy commitment too. They had a healthy relationship even though they hadn’t been together for more than a few years and it was clear they were meant for each other. The addition of their first child to turn their couple into a family was exactly what they needed to take everything to the next level. As a baby, Jennifer was quiet and calm and rarely cried. She was always cooing and giggling, playing with toys and as she grew older remained stable and fit in easily wherever she lived. When she was nine, her brother Christopher was born and they were closer than any friends either had while growing up. The years around his birth were the most stable in Jennifer’s life in terms of living situation as they stayed in the same house for around five years. In this time Jenn was hitting puberty and was at her most vulnerable, when she was really moving into being a young adult and her personality could be easily manipulated. The fact that they stayed for so long was good for her in feeling supported and she made a lot of friends that she became very close to. In these years Jenn picked up cheer leading as something appreciated in many high schools and something she could use to make friends when they moved again. She had a knack for it and became very close with the other girls on her team, though he was never intent on following it up as something she was passionate in. When it was time for them to leave and move to another navy seal owned home there was many tears but Jenn moved with her family and didn’t kick up a fuss. Chris, on the other hand, had developed a rebellious streak even as a young child and Jennifer and the rest of her family had noticed. Chris felt especially betrayed by how willing Jenn was to leave because they were so close but as soon as they left and he realised it was the reality of the situation, they were back to being as close as ever. When Jennifer turned 18 her father decided he was going to retire from the navy and take up a more peaceful job at home so they could settle down somewhere and live as an average family. He opened up to his family about his career in the special forces of the navy seals and Jenn realised why they had moved so much. It wasn’t just to be closer to work; it was to protect the family from anyone who could possible be seeking revenge - and little did they know, people were.

Things were calm for years and Jenn began to assume that her father’s stories were over-exaggerated  to make her see the situation as a serious one. When Jenn was twenty two she moved out, returning home each holiday and many days in between to see her family with whom she had always been very close. Her father’s birthday in her twenty third year was eventful to say the least, and one she would never forget. Her immediate family was there, along with her father’s parents and her uncle. At dinner, two men broke into the house and shot wildly throughout the dining room, hitting everyone besides Jenn’s grandmother who escaped into the kitchen. Jenn, her body wildly scraped by bullets but not directly hit, moved as quickly around the room as she could. She moved first to her brother who was closest to her, holding his head in her hands and blood from her forehead dribbling into his mouth. When she got no response from him she moved to her other family members as her grandmother called for an ambulance. She went to the hospital with them and her brother was admitted with no visible sign of injury except for emotionally. Her mother, father and grandfather died that night, while her uncle made a slow and painful recovery. While in the hospital a young paramedic intern passed her a note with only a phone number on it an she tucked it into her pocket and forgot about it. Once everything was calmed down and Jenn had paid her respects to all of her family members she found it again and as curiosity took her over, she called. Leviathan Institute picked up and Jenn realized the person in the hospital had recognized her as a mutant. The girl had identified her as a mutant with healing blood and the reason that her brother was still alive.

Jenn, after a discussion with Chris, moved to Leviathan institute full time. She chose not to go to school, even though her academia has always been incredibly important to her, especially on the science side of things. She’d already been through high school and a huge chunk of university, and her power wasn’t one she needed to learn how to control, just one she needed to discover the extent of it’s usage. This has made her want to research more into the mutant gene and why it effects the people it effects and how ti works. She isn’t a very good fighter yet, but she is trying to get her combat skills up. Her quick reflexes and athletic ability was built up in cheer leading and she is using it to her advantage. Jenn is often sent with mutants on rescue missions when needed as she can help to keep team members alive. She performs check ups on them once she gets back and fixes them up accordingly, though she often only uses her blood when it comes to the last resort as she doesn’t yet know enough about it to trust it. Her blood comes out when it’s life or death or something that needs to happen quickly, but if  med team can be used, she’d rather use the tried and true methods of healing. As for the war, she is yet undecided but she isn’t even considering choosing yet. Her biggest concern is the safety of everyone involved but she knows her past will heavily influence her decision once it comes down to it.
