// Illyana’s ability to manipulate magic is both a positive and a negative. Positive in the sense that it allows her to combat all kinds of supernatural beings and powers without these other beings harming her or her body. However, it is negative in the sense that she acquires some of the characteristics of her enemies (hooves, horns, etc.) and it consistently drains her body of energy.

// Illyana’s armor only appears on her arm and the rest of her body when she’s holding the Soulsword and it disappears when she isn’t. How and why it does what it does is never really explained except that it has to do with the fact that she can create whatever she wants out of thin air through magic.

“Oh, you have no idea. Like, if you have a big ass sword, big ass biceps, and — quite frankly — a big ass, gay bitches will love you. You’ll be at a million followers within the week.”

It was tempting. Illyana would have been a fool not to consider an Instagram account, but doubts were sneaking around in the back of her mind. 

“I’ve heard that the users on these things are not exactly... decent,” she said. “Should I be worried?”

all women born after 800 AD do is tempt, blaspheme, witchcraft, eat potent herbs to aid in their foul divinations, and lie

In the beginning, it was nothing more than a vision. Illyana imagined herself lying on the floor of the Sanctum Sanctorum. Slowly, she closed her eyes as tight as she could and then she felt it. Ever so subtly, her projection was gaining elevation. It was standing right over her, looking around, taking in the view.

Illyana felt her heart beating wildly in her chest. She inhaled and then exhaled, but her heart didn’t slow down. The sixteen year old blonde opened her eyes, righted herself, and looked up at Dr. Strange.

“I don’t get it,” she said. “Why am I so afraid of this, but not of going to dimensions inhabited by demons?”

Helheim was a strange place, but it wasn’t any different from many of the other worlds to which Illyana teleported herself. For a place where a person’s soul could spend the afterlife, she found it oddly serene and humane.

She was wandering down a path with her sword high over her shoulder when she spotted someone not far away. “I’m looking for Hel,” she said. After a few moments, she felt the need to specify since the name could be applied to two different things. “The goddess.”

In some other life with a few attitude adjustments, Illyana could see herself standing on the stage and performing magic tricks. The Moscow Circus of her youth would have taken her without any questions being asked. A sixteen year old girl who could make things out of nothing would definitely have been a crowd pleaser.

As she flashed one of Zatanna’s security guys a backstage pass and made her way to the green room, Illyana processed everything she had just seen. Zatanna was good, but was she good enough? If she wasn’t, would she be able to find someone else?

She could see that there were dozens of people standing outside, so Illyana waited patiently for her turn. When it finally came and she was escorted into the dressing room, the normally irritable mutant could only stand there and smiled like an idiot. “I really enjoyed your show,” she said. “Especially the last part.”

“I don’t know how many more trips to outer space I can take, Warren. The last time I went on one of those I ended up in Shi’ar jail.”

// Illyana doesn’t like to be touched or hugged unless it’s coming from someone she considers close like Kitty, Rahne, or Piotr. If someone touches her, she will flinch and then she’ll remove their hand from her body as gently as possible.
