Kyle Gibney is a former student of [[Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters]], and is now the resident English teacher while also juggling a place on the X-Men. His [[feral]] mutation and [[healing factor]] give him a tendency to leap before he looks.  
''"Oooh.  Auntie Jennie like..."''
 
Jennifer "Jennie" Stavros is a graduate of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. No longer the unrepentant party girl of years past, a wiser, warier Jennie has returned to the mansion after a three-year absence.

==Biography==
'''Education:''' Graduate of [[Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters]].  Holds a BFA in Dance.


===Childhood===
'''Relationship Status:''' Single


Kyle was born the only child of Margaret Gibney and Tyler Gibney, although unknown to Kyle until his late teens, Tyler is not his biological father. Until his early teens Kyle was a fairly average boy. Not quite a 'handful', but active, cheerful and just a little bit loud. A little hyper, a little overly affectionate, but nothing that was a major problem. Until he hit thirteen, puberty and all the social games that teenagers play in middle and high school.
'''Occupation:''' Student


Desperate for friends, he fell into socializing with the local 'bad crowd', believing that the group accepted him. In truth, they used him as an errand boy, an alibi and a lookout, and he quickly picked up a few skills in jimmying car locks and hotwiring cars. With a want to be accepted by his friends, Kyle took a dare. Kyle stole a Porsche.
'''Team Affiliation:''' [[X-Men]]


Naturally, he was caught and arrested, and sent to juvenile hall. The stress of the situation caused him to manifest his mutation a few days after arrival, and he spent nearly a week in the center's infirmary, in bone-wracking pain. It was another several weeks before his mutation finished manifesting, leaving him nearly a foot taller and with several physical changes.
==Biography==


===Rescued===
===Childhood===  


Only a week after his mutation fully manifested, social workers and members of the local police came to transfer him to a detention facility designed for mutant adolescents. That is what they told Kyle, and the guards at the juvenile detention center. In reality, they were [[Mistra]] operatives, intent on taking him to be trained.  
Jennie is the product of a brief relationship between a Greek-born dancer named Penelope Stavros and a Greek shipping heir named Aristotle Niarchos.  After Jennie was born, her mother moved them to Las Vegas, Nevada, where Penny found work as a dancer in the many large shows on the strip.  Jennie had a relatively stable childhood, especially when her mother began to see a lighting technician named Dan.  Jennie and her mother lived with Dan for 6 years until he split suddenly when Jennie was 12. As a consequence her mother's substance abuse ran dangerously out of control, and Jennie retaliated by staying out late, drinking, hanging out with much older people and seeing boys.  Also during this time Jennie's neatness habits began to develop into a form of mild OCD. Her powers also manifested around this time, during a heated argument with her mother she caused their microwave to explode.  Bad luck began to follow Jennie everywhere she went as an uncontrollable side-effect of her probability manipulation powers.  This culminated with her mother throwing her out of their house when Jennie was 15.  


In [[October 2004]], the Mistra training facility that Kyle was held at was discovered by [[Nathan Dayspring]]. He and several others - [[Pete Wisdom]], [[Madelyn Bartlet]], and [[Sam Guthrie| Sam]] and [[Paige Guthrie]] [[X-Men Mission: Wildchild| went to the facility]] intent on shutting it down and rescuing the children there.
Jennie spent the next few months sleeping on friends' couches, and bouncing between the teen shelter and group homes.  Finally, her friend Julia offered her a permanent place to stay.  Jennie dropped out of school halfway through her sophomore year of high school so she could take a second part-time job and better support herself. During the summer of 2005, she found her friend and roommate Julia brutally murdered.  The lead suspect was the woman's on-again, off-again boyfriend, who was under suspicion for alleged ties to the mafia.  The FBI took her case, and with the girl being a mutant and with no where to go, they handed her over to agent [[Fred Duncan]], who contacted the school.


While Kyle was in the process of being empathically manipulated by one of the Mistra operatives, Nate found him and attempted to rescue him, and then calm him. It backfired, sending Kyle into a panic. In his haste to escape, Kyle attacked Sam, and was then tranquilized by Madelyn and brought to the school.
===[[:Category: Phase 1|Phase 1]]===


===Living At The X-Mansion===
====Coming to Xavier's====  


Kyle's time at the school was largely been one of self-discovery and acceptance. He had to learn to accept his mutation, and now almost embraces it, at least on the surface. His unusual appearance still causes him some discomfort, but he considers the benefits to far outweigh the disadvantages.
Madelyn Bartlet met the young woman in the New York FBI offices, and convinced her that the school was the safest place for Jennie to go.  In spite of some initial hesitation, Jennie agreed. After a slow start, Jennie settled in and began to make friends, including the young inventor [[Forge]], and her powers tutor, [[Wanda Maximoff]].


With the resources of the school at hand, Kyle became a fair to average student, putting in a great deal of effort to maintain a B+ average, and showing a preference towards English and Literature that seem out of place in the athletic looking hyperactive young man.  
During the month of September, when the medlab was very understaffed Jennie volunteered and was trained as a medlab helper.  During one of her shifts watching the comatose [[Tommy Jones]] she became bored, and along with [[Clarice Ferguson]], painted his toenails.  


In the time that Kyle has spent at the school, he has developed a close and unlikely friendship with [[Forge]]. He is also good friends with [[Marius Laverne]], [[Jennie Stavros]], [[Julio Richter]] and [[Angelica Jones]]. During both of her times at the school, he was a frequent stalking target and friend of [[Catseye]].
She also met and bonded with fellow student [[Marius Laverne]]. The two quickly became friends after they got drunk together during the Seattle riots and later when Jennie dumped a bookshelf and a door on his head in retaliation for him being an utter nuisance.  Also during the fall and winter Jennie contacted her mother, and began to slowly rebuild their relationship.  In March, Penny revealed to Jennie she had been speaking with her parents again.  However, her mother suffered a sudden stroke and died shortly thereafter.  Jennie was accompanied to the funeral by Marius and [[Nathan Dayspring]]. Afterwards she asked Forge to locate her father, whose identity was still unknown.  She finally contacted her father in the summer of 2006, and has begun a tenuous relationship with him and her stepmother and half-siblings.


During his senior year of high school, Kyle spent it much like any other normal teenager with an acceptable set of grades. Fighting off Senioritis, sorting through piles of college applications, looking for dates and wondering just what the heck he's going to do with himself in the future. Unlike the average high school senior, Kyle gained an additional and new set of responsibilities.
During the summer she acquired a roommate after a year of living by herself, [[Crystal Amaquelin]]. After a bumpy start, the two befriended each other, and Crystal was the one who was the most vocal when Jennie disappeared.


===Maturity and the X-Men===
====Bleeding====


After being the subject of a [[Ahab (plot)|kidnapping for the seventh time]], and suffering genetic manipulation and brainwashing at the of [[Dr. Rory Campbell]], Kyle (along with Jennie and Marius) decided to join the X-Men in an effort to both learn to prevent threats to himself, but also to help prevent it to others. He was beset upon with the trainee codename "Beast Boy" and spent the last half of 2007 learning to control himself, work with the team, use his powers responsibly, and how to write mission reports that do not use the word "PWN". The last of these has, much to the regret of the team leaders, not been entirely successful, even into 2009 and Forge and Kyle's 'report' on the events of [[Analog Kid, Digital Man]].
During the summer Marius Laverne's maladaptive mutation finally got the better of him and frustrated, he left the school.  Jennie left soon afterwards to visit her father in Europe.  On the trip home, Jennie ran into Marius at a Paris airport and decided to stay longer in order to convince her friend to return to the school.  Unbeknownst to either of them, she became caught in an empathic loop that prevented her from leaving anyway.  She accompanied Marius and [[Manuel de la Rocha]] around Paris, and later to Monaco when the former's parents cut him off.  She was vehemently opposed to Marius's purchase of [[Yvette Petrovic]], but unable to make her opinions known due to the empathic loop. She used her powers to help them survive, but they eventually backfired on her and caused a probability backlash that resulted in Manuel being seriously injured. The staff, having shown up before the lucksnap, took both Jennie and Marius home.


His ex-boyfriend Jay Guthrie returned to the mansion, which caused Kyle no small amount of awkwardness until he and Jay managed to resolve their lingering issues. In the meantime, Kyle went on a single date with [[Laurie Collins]], with any further dates being prevented when their respective powers interacted badly and they decided it was best to not risk it. In winter 2007, Kyle began dating [[Clarice Ferguson]], after Clarice assisted Kyle with his contribution to the 2007 Halloween themed costumes of the Teen Titans from the DC Universe comic series.  
After waking up and realizing what had happened was not entirely her fault, Jennie had a falling out with Marius, and refused to have anything to do with him.  She also had a severe flare-up of her OCD, she cleaned the floor of her bathroom to the point where her fingers bled. Jennie finally reached a breaking point and sought help from the student counselor [[David Haller]], and from [[Dr. Leonard Samson]].  Jennie also sought and received Yvette's forgiveness, as the girl became her new suite mate.


Kyle's training as an X-Man began to pay off during the events of [[Thirteen Days]]. When the X-Men and trainees who had remained behind were called up to retrieve and rescue their teammates who had crash-landed, Kyle found himself defending Skin, Blink and a squad of soldiers from Toad. Quick thought and some unorthodox tactics gave Kyle the upper hand, luring Toad in close range with insults and mocking and despite a broken jaw, breaking Toad's kneecaps and knocking him unconscious. The injuries took some time to heal, and in the meantime Kyle found himself embarrassed to to thanked for saving Angelo and Clarice's lives.
====Vitiation and the Aftermath====


Presented with actual opportunities for the first time, and beginning to believe he wasn't as dumb as he had always been told when he successfully passed his SATs, Kyle enrolled at [[Empire State University]], majoring in eduction, although he was - and remains - reticent about his choice in major. To earn money for himself, he began working as [[Cain Marko| Cain's]] assistant groundskeeper, a job he found himself well suited to doing.
On a visit to see her powers tutor, Wanda Maximoff, Jennie encountered [[Marie-Ange Colbert]], who had a precognitive vision.  When Marius later came into contact with the [[Infectia]] virus, he quickly started to degrade.  When Marius startled Yvette in the kitchen, the younger girl found Jennie and asked her to help him.  It is because of Marie-Ange's vision that Jennie followed Marius into the woods.  Going by herself in a stroke of brilliance, she used her luck powers to find him, and lost her cellphone in the process. Having no control over his predator instincts, Marius chased Jennie, who tried to incapacitate him by hitting him with a tree.  Wounded, but not out, Marius attacked Jennie, only to be subdued by Cain and Kyle.


Despite his new-found maturity and adult status, there were several incidents which displayed Kyle's temper. Recurring arguments on the journals with Laurie, an extremely negative reaction to a suggestion by [[Kevin Ford]] that they experiment with his healing factor and hostile reactions to the nickname 'Dog Boy' were mostly generated by residual trauma from the [[Ahab (plot)|Hounding]] incident and Kyle's deep-seated insecurities about his feral nature. An incident with another mutant, in which [[Aureus Canis| Kyle was turned into a fox]] gave him small comfort knowing that he was a fox-based, rather than a dog-based feral. His issues with Laurie, however, were more difficult to address, with apologies said and the two repeatedly trying to talk, only for another argument to arise on the journals.
Realizing that she still cared for her friend, in spite of his best efforts, Jennie sought Marius out and forgave him. The two resumed their friendship, claiming to the rest of the school that they had eloped while in Europe. Shortly thereafter Marius underwent an experimental medical procedure, and surprised Jennie on her 18th birthday, completely cured.


Following a [[Resurrection Man| student pick up gone horribly wrong]], Kyle was made full X-Man, taking on the code name "Wildchild".
====A Rough Spring====


===Keeping The Faith and Doing No Harm===
Jennie busied herself in getting back into school, determined to finish her senior year and get into a good college.  Over Christmas she attended a family party after excusing herself from a family holiday over Thanksgiving.  Much to everyone's surprise, Jennie's father invited Marius to accompany them as well.  It probably had less to do with altruism and more with a desire to torture his mother-in-law, but nevertheless it ended up in a situation in which Jennie's half-brother tricked both her and Marius into kissing.  Both decided to forgo the month of awkwardness in favor of never speaking of the incident again.


Kyle once again found himself at the mercy of others when he and several other younger X-Men, plus [[Janet Van Dyne|Jan]] we [[X-Men Mission: Keep The Faith| captured]] by the [[Brotherhood of Mutants]]. Kyle in particular suffered, being brutally tortured by the sadistic [[Brotherhood of Mutants| Senyaka]]. During the worst of it, Kyle regressed to some of the [[Mistra]] programming he had been given several years ago, manifesting a tactical personality which helped him escape. The incident disturbed Kyle, who had thought he had escaped Mistra's reprogramming unscathed. The death of [[Colin MacInnis]] gave him the chance to talk to [[The Reclaimed| Anika]] about the issue and as always, she was more able to help him than most.
The new year came, and with it the [[When It All Goes Wrong Again | mysterious comas]] and the [[Red X Mission: Whiteout | Kansas City blizzard]], where Jennie used her powers offensively for the first time and rescued some trapped teens. However, as the anniversary of her mother's death approached Jennie became sullen and withdrawn.  She got a tattoo to commemorate her mother, and then later on the actual anniversary went out drinking and almost ended up in a bad situation. The night culminated in a fight/talk with her best friend that allowed her to come to terms with a few of her issues regarding her mother.
   
Bouncing back, Kyle assisted in [[Red X Mission: Rising Waters| a Red X mission]] and [[Seven Minutes In Heaven| rescued Nathan from drowning]] in Alaska. During this time, he and Clarice realized they were essentially friends having sex, rather than a couple, and ended the relationship amicably. Later on, Kyle started dating [[Janet Van Dyne]].  


The journal fights with Laurie continued, however, with Kyle driven outside to cool off safely. His personal anger management strategies came in even more useful when [[Yvette Petrovic]], in an uncharacteristic bout of anger and frustration, [[Razor's Edge| pursued the man]] who had [[Bleeding| kidnapped her]] in Kosovo. Kyle was shot during the rescue, but managed to resolve things enough with the young girl to suggest the [[Danger Room]] as a safer way to let off steam. Less successful was managing his own temper as yet again, he and Laurie fought in the journals, this time about seat upgrades.
Jennie applied to both Columbia and NYU as part of a desire to stay close to home.  She was eventually accepted into NYU and into the Tisch School of the Art's dance program. Jennie met Marius's sister [[Monet St. Croix]], and found the girl rather odd, but nothing like the horror stories she had been told.  She also formed a stronger friendship with [[Illyana Rasputin]] after the girl was deposed as the ruler of [[Limbo]].  She also fought off [[This Savage Land | dinosaurs]] as the [[Field trip curse| field trip curse]] reared its head yet again.  Afterwards Jennie began to openly express her desire to leave the mansion for an apartment in the city.


The issues between Laurie and Kyle came to a head when, following [[First Do No Harm| an attack on the pair by another mutant]] in New York, Laurie accused Kyle of not being able to control himself due to his feral nature. The accusation, which he felt was as good as calling him an animal, enraged Kyle and virtually destroyed any friendship between the two. Over the next several months, Laurie made several attempts to rebuild things, but more often than not the attempts resulted in further hostilities.
====Ahab====


===The Weight of Responsibility===
While out for dinner, Jennie and her friends Marius, [[Kyle Gibney|Kyle]] and Crystal were ambushed by [[The Nasty Boys | mercenaries]].  All but Crystal were captured and taken to an abandoned hospital in New Jersey to meet one [[Rory Campbell]].  While in Campbell's hands she and her friends were twisted and  brainwashed into becoming [[Hounds]].  The school intervened as swiftly as they could, but when the [[X-Men]] arrive the changed students attacked on sight.  Jennie fortunately caused a [[Bleeding | lucksnap]] that caused her and the boys to regain temporarily control.  Jennie turned on Ramrod and shredded him before throwing in a bleeding ulcer while she was at it.  She was knocked out, and mercifully restored to normal before the effects of the spliced DNA could culminate in her death.


During [[Day Zero]], Kyle found himself fighting [[Horsemen| War]] alongside [[Sabretooth]], the man who had [[Minitooth| eviscerated him]]. In the confusion, Sabretooth escaped, a situation which Kyle predicted would not end well. He was correct - only a month later Sabretooth was implicated in an [[Mechanisms of Revenge| attack]] that left [[Garrison Kane]], [[Pete Wisdom]], [[Jay Guthrie]] and [[Danielle Moonstar]] missing, presumed dead. Assisting with the FBI investigation with [[Adrienne Frost]], Kyle confirmed the former [[Brotherhood of Mutants| Brotherhood]] member's participation by scent.
Afterwards, she was left with a desire to be more proactive against people who hate and fear mutants in order to alleviate feelings of helplessness and anxiety.  She also came to see the [[X-Men]] in a new light, as the hope that they would come to her eventual rescue kept her sane during her capture. After discussion with both Kyle and Marius, all three decided upon a course of action.  They arrived in [[Ororo Munroe|Ororo Munroe's]] office to ask permission to join the team as trainees.


Kyle mourned his three friends and buried himself in his various duties. With [[Cain Marko| Cain's]] departure and Kyle's promotion to groundskeeper, these were many. Between his job, the X-Men and his studies, Kyle found himself stretched thin. Laurie continued to pick at him, driving him to ask [[David Haller|Haller]] and [[Dr. Leonard Samson| Samson]] to intervene, but despite that stress, [[Manuel de la Rocha]] believed him to be the best choice for a suitemate for the unshielded [[Psionics|empath]], citing the simple clarity of Kyle's emotions as the reason for the choice.
====The Real World====


The return of the missing did little to clear the tension; Kyle found Jay's new-found predatory instincts clashing with his own and they very nearly came to serious physical violence on several occasions. The two resolved things 'their' way, featuring a dead rabbit as a peace offering. [[Suzanne Chan]] also came to Kyle's rescue, offering to take on the paperwork side of the groundskeeping, something he had struggled with due to his youth and not being taken seriously by contractors.
Jennie graduated with honors, miraculously in light of her many absences, and eagerly began her training. However, with the [[Sound of Silence| disappearance of Attilan]], and the loss of her friends Crystal and Forge, Jennie had a slight Moment.  She walked to Poughkeepsie and back while memorizing an almanac.  She can now recite the populations of every country above "m".


Already close with Yvette and Catseye, who had returned to the school, Kyle found himself helping out the various [[New Mutants]] more and more, in particular, [[Doreen Green]], whose feral episodes were disorienting and frightening to her and whom Kyle rescued from a tree at one point. [[Callie Betto]] also joined Kyle's maintenance crew, assisting with the gardening angle.
She was also invited along on two missions.  Much to Marius's chagrin.  The first, she had to overcome an old [[Bleeding| hurt]] and [[X-Men Mission: Fin Fang Foom!!!|rob a casino]].  Again.  This time she gave it back, though. She also waited in the getaway car when Marie [[Acumen| needed to steal some things]].


In mid-2009, more than six months after the fight which had created the gulf, Laurie and Kyle were forced to cooperate to escape [[Analog Kid, Digital Man| elevator]] controlled by technopath [[Milan]]. It proved to be a step towards ending hostilities, and the two have restored their friendship, with Kyle occasionally providing Laurie with a dose of reality to oppose some of her more sheltered or naive viewpoints.
When word reached the school that Crystal and Forge were alive, and with Forge's subsequent return Jennie found herself strangely affected. Must be that whole "numerous deaths of close friends and family" thing.  Eventually she got over it and welcomed back her friend.


===Comings and Goings===
School started, and Jennie found herself in a completely different world than what she was used to at Xavier's.  Now with a new roommate, [[Noriko Kikuchi]], new classes and her training continuing, it was anyone's guess whether or not Jennie could keep up.


Late summer saw Kyle having to confront his own pack instincts, going [[Fiddler's Green| under telepathic cover]] to rescue Nate from his captors, and seeing first-hand what he would have likely been like had Mistra continued their empathic conditioning. The telepathic camouflage also had the unintended and minor side-effect of removing the last remnants of the tractable 'beta' conditioning from [[Ahab]].


This resulted in his being more than willing to aggressively confront [[Jay Guthrie]] on the winged mutant's unwillingness to be assigned a trainee code name and the two spent weeks sniping at each other.
====Graduation====


Autumn and winter brought a reminder to Kyle about why he hated zombies, when Nico's Halloween decorations came to life. He was briefly deafened trying to track and re-capture some of the escapees from the jailbreak in November, and despite he and Laurie having restored their friendship, was unable to comfort her after her own encounters with the prisoners. He found himself working closely with [[Catseye]] to track and return [[Nicholas Gleason]] when the young man ran away after accidentally hurting [[Julian Keller]].  
In October, the [[Thirteen Days| Russians decided to take out Magneto with a big fricken space laser]]. This had no unforeseen consequences whatsoever.  In the ensuing melee, Jennie was called along with Marius to go to the Australian outback to rescue [[Scott Summers]].  Jennie wound up having to go one-on-one with [[Nimrod]], and ended up having to drop the blackbird on him.  Nimrod escaped, and Jennie spent her 19th birthday very high on painkillers as a result of the beating she received.  But all in all, she considers that one a win.


The autumn departures saw Kyle attempting to remain optimistic about the eventual return of those who left, but when Jay, [[Forge]], and [[Jennie Stavros]] all left within a short period, he seemed to lose some of his belief that his people would always come back to the fold. After the departures, Kyle became less social, and less quick with a joke or reassuring remark, and quicker to anger, even going to the point of damaging his laptop and working off the frustration sparring with Forge's other close friend, [[Doug Ramsey]].
In November, an order of monks [[Karma Police| tried to take out several probability manipulators]], including Jennie, [[Domino]], and Wanda. They quickly learned why this was a stupid idea.


Kyle was injured again, this time more seriously, during the [[Lakshmibai Raj|India mission]], when he, [[Dominion]] and [[Wasp]] blew up a fuel depot. Kyle was seriously burned and put into a medical coma for several weeks while his healing factor took care of his injuries. He required further physical therapy, however, and saw a new side to the quiet and shy [[Yvette Petrovic]] when she took on the job with a particularly bratty Kyle. He also was called on his attitudes about his female teammates, being lectured by the small red girl (who had recently become a trainee) that they were no more delicate and fragile than he was and could withstand the rigors of the team. It also became clear around mid-2010 that fellow feral [[Doreen Green]] had a crush on him, something his girlfriend Jan was quite happy to tease him about. Kyle tried to ignore Dori's hero-worship, although it was difficult when she later came to him to ask for advice about joining the team.  
When the psis [[The Shadow King (plot)| went crazy]], Jennie, along with [[Theresa Cassidy|Terry]] were sent to retrieve [[David Haller]] from a convenience store and wound up foiling a robbery in the process. As a result of her quick thinking, Jennie was promoted to full team status, the first of her class of trainees.


Graduation 2010 was marked by [[A Betrayal of Heart|a betrayal, an attack and the apparent death of a student]], something that hit Kyle hard as he had been working with the young werewolf on powers control. Before he could really close up, however, he wound up with a new roomie, [[Jared Corbo]], whose outlook and attitude tended to clash with Kyle's own. Over the time they shared a suite, they had several epic journal fights, although one was precipitated more by an incident at Kyle's university involving his medical records for his teaching rounds and a bigoted secretary. 'Work' also kept Kyle busy, with a [[Red X Mission: Firestorm|Red X mission in Alberta]], [[There Will Be Peace|a rescue mission in LA]] and [[Dinosaur Bugaloo|the return of an old foe]] in [[District X]].  
Unfortunately, her [[Aureus Canis| first official duty]] as a full team member went horribly awry, and she wound up spending three days stuck as a dog.  She tried to maintain a sense of humor about it, but the casual cruelty of her peers came off as a shock to her, and when she regained her shape, left her with some food for thought. Especially in light of the different treatment [[Angelo Espinosa]] received for essentially the same public actions.


===Mr Reliable ===
Thankfully, something did go right for Jennie.  She and Terry were able to help [[Tatiana Caban]] when she was in [[Cornered| peril]] and bring her to the mansion, Jennie herself taking on an angry mob.  Of course, many were visibly intoxicated, but the principle is the same. She acquitted herself well, the lessons she had been taking with [[Pete Wisdom]] coming in handy.


2011 became the year that Kyle took on some of the training for the new X-Men, especially Dori and [[Jean-Phillipe Colbert]], and became something of a mentor to young student [[Molly Hayes]], as well as befriending former mercenary [[Wade Wilson]], at the mansion for medical treatment. He also tried to help the amnesiac [[Nicholas Gleason]], back from the 'dead' and calling himself John, piece together his memories. He and [[Julian Keller]] continued to rub each other the wrong way, both in and out of the [[Danger Room]], and eventually the situation with Jared reached a stage Kyle could no longer live with him, making a request to [[Charles Xavier]] that the other young man move out following 'hazing' jokes about the blind student, [[Matt Murdock]]. [[Warren Worthington]], moving back to the mansion to focus on the team, soon filled the gap.
====College Girl====


Kyle's relationship with Jan ended much the same way as his relationship with Clarice had ended, with again the pair realizing they were really friends who had sex rather than being romantically involved. When Laurie's air scrubber broke and the grad wing was filled with sex pheromones, Kyle found himself 'taking one for the team' in the form of [[Laura Kinney]]. [[Marius Laverne]], disturbed by his predatory reaction, had thrown himself out of the window and it was Kyle who found and rescued him from Molly's questions – and distracted Laura from going after him. Later, for Xavier's Prom, he practically dragged Dori out of her room when he found out she was playing ''World of Warcraft'' instead, and while she initially protested, she wasn't ''too'' upset.  
Jennie was the quintessential college party girl, her frequent answer to difficult situations being to get drunk - or to tell others to get drunk. The anniversary of her mother's death was one such situation, Manuel's return another, which caused issues with her friendship with Marius as the Australian pulled his typical disappearing act. Their relationship was further complicated by Jennie's realisation that she'd developed a crush on her oldest friend at the mansion, a fact she managed to hide from Marius, although the [[Shakespeare Syndrome| poetic truth-telling sports drink fiasco]] made it a very close call. Brash and no-nonsense, she would sometimes get into arguments on the journals, especially with [[Laurie Collins]] and [[Amanda Sefton]], the latter two never really resolving their issues. Another unresolved problem was with team member [[Garrison Kane]], that particular clash erupting on the journals following the [[Zemo| Baron Zemo mission]].  


Part of the [[My Long Forgotten Son|rescue team when the New Mutants went missing]], Kyle suffered the wrath of [[Artie Maddicks]] on the journal stoically, refusing to react to even the "Dog Boy" taunts. He was also the supervising adult for Matt's punishment detail after he beat up Artie. No sooner had the dust settled on that incident when [[Don't Close Your Eyes|the mansion was invaded again]], this time with the residents being cast into their worst personal nightmares. While the shared nightmare Kyle found himself in with [[Monet St. Croix]] and [[Piotr Rasputin]] was bad enough, waking was worse as he was planted with a telepathic trigger by [[Nightmare]] and attached [[Meggan Szardos]], cutting up her arms and shoulders. [[Kurt Sefton]] stepped in and teleported Kyle to the [[The Box|Box]], but being in a 'white room' again only made Kyle more ferocious and Kurt was injured as well. Eventually, with [[Jean Grey]] defeating Nightmare, the trigger was removed, and Kyle spent several days up a tree.
In [[October 2008]], Jennie appeared to have died in an heroic attempt to save lives on the George Washington Bridge during [[Day Zero]]. Her powers saved her - barely - and she spent some time recovering. In the months that followed, the team seemed to be the only truly stable element of her life, as she found herself leading [[The Magnificent Seven| part of a mission]] and being groomed for eventual leadership of the team as a whole. That all nearly fell apart in [[May 2009]] when she found herself pregnant to the boyfriend who had already dumped her. She had to pull out of [[X-Men Mission: Fifth Column| the Budapest mission]] at the last minute and faced having to tell Scott and Jean why, and her lashing out on the journals nearly cost her several friendships, including the long-standing one with Forge. She lost the pregnancy not long after confirming it, and after some time concentrating more on her school, she accepted an internship with the Royal London Ballet Company and left the mansion.


During a Danger Room run with Dori, Kyle found himself realizing the hyperactive squirrel girl was in fact an attractive young woman, and an awkward moment led to dinner. An email conversation while Kyle was in New Orleans with Laurie, Kevin and a number of the grads led to a second date being arranged, much to Julian's disapproval; the wealthy young heir 'tested' Kyle by offering him $250,000.00 to not date Dori. Predictably, Kyle refused – and then told Dori what her best friend had done. Needless to say, the incident did little to improve Kyle's impression of Julian, who he already disliked because of his treatment of Nick back before Nick's disappearance.


Kyle's healing factor came in handy during [[Mortimer Toynbee's Electric Funkedelic Boogaloo|Yvette's birthday party]], although before his system cleared itself of the combination of Laurie's happy hormones and [[Megan Gwynn|Pixie's]] hallucinogenic dust, he and Kurt shared their love of pineapples and fruity drinks with umbrellas in them. This was followed by a more serious matter, when [[Capital Turpitude|the Black Court of the Hellfire Club almost killed]] Garrison and a group of FBI and DEA agents in a fire; summoned by [[Adrienne Frost]] via [[Emma Frost|Emma]], the X-Men went into the burning factory and rescued the unconscious law officers.
===[[:Category: Phase 2|Phase 2]]===


Kyle's perennial joke about his biological father backfired on him when he tried it on Wade, who was both old enough and had possibly known Kyle's mother back in the day. Eventually, unable to coax any information from his mother, Kyle suggested a DNA test to settle things one way or another. The joke also went public, causing a lot of confusion as Wade's real age became a subject of debate (it was eventually settled that Wade was in fact not Kyle's father).


Wade's Halloween party went off in usual Xavier's style [[What_Goes_Around,_Comes_Around | when an old pendant of Amanda's accidentally activates and curses the party]], leading to Kyle and several other party members believing they really were their costumes. Even after the curse was broken, Kyle retained the ability to speak Chinese. The year ended with Kyle joining an X-Men team [[Sons_of_Liberty_(plot) | to deal with a hostage situation in California as a result of Kane accidentally unearthing the Super Soldier program]].


===2012===
==Physical Characteristics==  
The year brought with it one disaster after another. It started with [[London to Ladysmith via Pretoria | two refugees from the small island of Genosha]] taking refuge at Xavier's and later disappearing from protective custody. In an attempt to find out what had happened to them, Kyle joined a mission [[X-Men Mission: Amid These Storms | to try and find the kidnappers]], which ended up failing. A few months later [[For Free Trade | a group of mansionites and mansion associates were kidnapped from the mansion]], and [[The_End_of_the_Beginning | Kyle joined the rescue team to try and save them]]. It ended in disaster, however, with most of the rescue team (Kyle included) being captured, and a very small portion escaping into the Genoshan wilderness. The captured group was later rescued when [[The Unrelenting Struggle | the train they were on was ambushed]] by the [[Genoshan Resistance]]. Kyle then assisted in helping to [[Savrola | raid the city]], [[Onwards to Victory | helping to bring down]] [[Laurie Collins | Mutate 42]], and [[The Dawn of Liberation | defeating the crazed monster Moreau]].


There was no risk for the wicked, however. No sooner did everyone get home (where Kyle was furious to learn he had missed his graduation and his fantasy baseball team had failed miserably), was Kyle being recruited to help [[Any Port in a Storm | a couple of teenage mutants who had been kidnapped]]. He was then pulled off on another mission to investigate [[Ashes and Mist | a mutant who had appeared in Madripoor]], who turned out to be an alternate version of [[Rachel Kinross-Dayspring]]. In August he helped patrol [[X-Men Mission: Joyful Noixe | a mutant concert that had been threatened by anti-mutant protesters]], and only a few days later he was running off to England to help Angel [[Half An Ocean Away | find her friend who had been kidnapped by a mutant group]]. And finally in November he [[Katabasis | went to Peru with a team]] and inadvertently ended up helping [[Jennie Stavros]], who was being hunted.
'''Height:''' 5'7"


===2013-14===
'''Weight:''' 120 lbs
Twenty-thirteen was significantly quieter, with Kyle settling into his new position as English teacher at Xavier's - a position which came with its own unique set of problems, like having to assure [[Molly Hayes]] that he did not, in fact, think she was stupid after her encounter with the [[Slendermen]]. In February he helped to rescue Garrison and Adrienne after [[Tropic of Capricorn | they were shipwrecked on the mutant island]] Avalon (which was being run by Magneto]]. And the end of the year brought with it [[Deal With The Devil | a demon raid on the mansion]], during which Kyle had to destroy a library wall (and later hide from the wrath of the students who used the library for sanctuary).


The fun continued into twenty-fourteen, when Kyle went back to Avalon to help evacuate it when [[Red-X Mission: King Tide | a tsunami threatened to wipe it out]]. And the field trip curse struck again in August when a field trip Kyle was chaperoning was [[New Mutants: Scribblenauts | attacked by paintings brought to life by an out of control mutant]], and Kyle ended up being eaten by a painting and later rescued by [[Tyrone Johnson]].
'''Eyes:''' Blue.  


==Physical Characteristics==
'''Hair:''' Currently black (she doesn't remember her natural hair color)


'''Height''': 6’5”
'''Other Features:''' Multiple piercings in both ears.  Lip and belly button piercing healed after undergoing the Hounds process. Ears and belly button stubbornly re-pierced.  Scars on lower left side of neck and right wrist.

'''Weight''': 205 lbs.
 
'''Eyes''': green-brown
 
'''Hair''': dirty blond
 
'''Other Features''': Due to his mutation, Kyle has somewhat larger than normal ears, pointed at the tops. He also has extended top and bottom canine teeth, and the nails of his fingers and toes are clawed. His feet are larger then normal human feet, and have developed in such a way that Kyle is most comfortable walking on the balls of his feet. On any given day, he might have short spiky hair, longer shaggy hair, or below-the-collar hair tied back into a ponytail and a variable amount of facial hair, depending on his mood, and whether or not he decided that shaving was more or less important than another fifteen minutes of sleep.


==Powers==
==Powers==
Jennie has the ability to [[Probability manipulation|manipulate probability]], which is like telekinesis on a quantum level.  She can give objects or people, and to a degree certain situations, "good" or "bad" luck.  I.E, a lamp sitting on a desk has a 50/50 chance of staying on the desk or falling over.  With her powers, she pushes it to a 0/100 percent chance in either direction.  But sometimes the results aren't always what she plans.  If she uses her chaos powers, the lamp could tip over, it could short out and break, or it could disintegrate.  With her luck powers, she can do anything from finding missing objects, affect the outcome of a card game in her favor, to (theoretically) dodging bullets, (she's not too eager to test that one out).  If she manipulates a certain kind of energy too much, the natural balance will be upset and the universe will snap back, sort of like a rubber band.  The universe wants to stay in 50/50, and will reassert itself forcibly if she messes with things too much.  The last time something like this happened, she accidentally destroyed two city blocks after an overuse of good luck.


Kyle has what is described as a "[[Feral| feral]]" mutation. He possesses [[Enhanced Physical Traits|enhanced agility and strength]], and his [[Enhanced Senses|senses of sight, hearing, smell, and taste]] are incredibly acute. He also possesses [[Atavistic|atavistic physical traits]], with claws, elongated canine teeth and a less complex digestive system.
Her powers also come with a type of short-range [[Psionics|precognition]].  She "sees" probability as red or white light on the edges of her vision, and more directly if she squints.  The more a type of light an object or situation has, the more energy of the opposite type she has to throw at it to get what she wants.  It also helps her to read certain situations.  If the world goes red, something's about to go FUBAR.  She projects the energy via flat disks, which are that way for no other reason than she played a lot of frisbee as a child and it's easier to aim than a straight energy blast. She can also affect objects with a touch, and project a good or bad luck field around herself.


As an effect of the increased agility, Kyle possesses a natural sense of balance and lands on his feet more often than not when falling or jumping - he is not at the trained skill level of a gymnast or acrobat, but easily does flips, cartwheels and handstands. He can - and does when showing off - walk on his hands for several yards. He is also stronger then someone of his build would normally be, with increased muscle density, although not to a great degree - it is a byproduct of his healing factor rather than a separate power of it's own.
==Equipment==


Kyle's finger and toenails are clawed - on his hands, they are thicker, tougher and sharper than normal human fingernails, tan and slightly curved. He can retract his claws into the nailbeds of his fingertips, although this prevents him from bending the first knuckle of each finger. Because of the claws, Kyle has difficulty with holding pens and pencils, and his handwriting has been described as somewhere between terrible and 'why would anyone do that to a piece of paper?'.
None.


On his feet, the claws more resemble that of a large cat or dog and he cannot retract the claws on his toes. In addition Kyle's feet are noticeably different looking from regular human feet. The bones of his feet are elongated - if his feet could be put in normal shoes, he'd be somewhere around a American size fifteen or sixteen - but where his heels are narrow, the balls of his feet and his toes are wide. and he walks primarily on the balls of his feet. Putting his feet flat on the ground is uncomfortable for him and causes cramps in his Achilles' tendons.
==Trivia==


Because of this, Kyle does not quite move like a normal person. He hunches when he walks, and unless he takes a great deal of care to try not to, tends to 'bounce' a little. He actually looks more normal running than walking as most people run on the balls of their feet. He can also run on all fours, and not only refuses to demonstrate, but will refuse to acknowledge it to anyone who happens to see it on the rare occasions it is necessary.  
*Jennie is horribly embarrassed by her middle name and only a select few of the Xavier's residents actually know it.


Kyle's ears are pointed, larger than normal, and look a little 'too big' for his face.  He also has fangs - his top and bottom canines are much longer then normal, and this is typically visible when he talks. He also has a thicker and heavier jaw then a normal human - he can bite through small bones.
*Jennie's godparents are actually two former drag queens who were friends of her mother.  They may be the ones responsible for her middle name.


Kyle also possesses a [[Healing factor| healing factor]]. Less powerful than that of [[Logan]] or [[Sarah Morlocke | Sarah]], he heals from injuries faster than normal, up to regrowing two toes that were accidentally severed in a wood chopping accident. He is resistant to colds, flus and infections, and recovers very quickly from exposure such as [[Seven Minutes In Heaven | hypothermia]]. Kyle also seems to possess somewhat of a degree of control over his healing factor, and with enough incentive can heal life-threatening injuries first, while leaving other injuries for later. This control is very limited, and has only occurred twice, both in situations where Kyle was near death.
*Actually quite smart, Jennie was the one who figured out that Forge, Kyle, Jay and Marius had been in her laundry basket and messing with her things in their ill-conceived panty raid. She was also the one who spearheaded the revenge that left all four boys tied up in the foyer in women's underwear.


==Equipment==
*Jennie has memorized the first 100 numbers of pi, can sing the distributive formula to the tune of jingle bells, and balances the medlab budget in her spare time.


Marius purchased a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawasaki_Ninja_ZX-14 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14] for Kyle as repayment for his help in saving Marius life. As of his 18th birthday, and the closing of his juvenile criminal record, Kyle is finally the legal owner of the motorcycle that was purchased for him years earlier.
*As a dance student, she is now forced to shave her legs during winter.


==Trivia==


Despite all former protests to the contrary, Kyle is not only an excellent dancer, he very much enjoys it, as it gives him a chance to show off his agility and athleticism without being violent.
==Plots==


Due to his mutation, Kyle's digestive system reacts badly to a number of artificial flavorings, colorings and preservatives that most people can consume. Despite being a self-described omnivore, he is very conscious of what goes into his food - and the food choices and sensitivies of others. When you have a two page long (and growing) list of foods you can't eat, you can't help but notice it when other people do the same.
===[[:Category: Phase 1|Phase 1]]===


Kyle is the owner of a small black-and-white cat named [[Pets| Shamu, Jr]], which he and Marie rescued from the snowed-in animal shelter in [[Red X Mission: Whiteout| Kansas City]]. Shamu is spoiled rotten, and takes complete advantage of it.

When writing the application for the character of Kyle Gibney, Frito had been inspired by the voice and mannerisms of Beast Boy from the Teen Titans cartoon. After several months of Icon Bases that were less than ideal, it was suggested to her by Ben that she use Greg Cipes, who fit the physical description of Kyle almost exactly at the time. Greg Cipes happens to provide the voice for Beast Boy. Due to this, when it became time for Kyle to be assigned a 'trainee codename', Beast Boy was the obvious choice. Shiro (played by Ben) was the one to suggest this.
Jennie was introduced by [[Azzy]] in [[July 2005]] and played by her until [[January 2010]]. Azzy returned to XP - and Jennie - in [[October 2012]]


In 2011 when it became apparent that Greg Cipes was very much a hippie and his fashion choices were far more ridiculous than even Kyle would wear, Kyle's pb was changed to Matt Barr.

Biography

Childhood

Jennie is the product of a brief relationship between a Greek-born dancer named Penelope Stavros and a Greek shipping heir named Aristotle Niarchos. After Jennie was born, her mother moved them to Las Vegas, Nevada, where Penny found work as a dancer in the many large shows on the strip. Jennie had a relatively stable childhood, especially when her mother began to see a lighting technician named Dan. Jennie and her mother lived with Dan for 6 years until he split suddenly when Jennie was 12. As a consequence her mother's substance abuse ran dangerously out of control, and Jennie retaliated by staying out late, drinking, hanging out with much older people and seeing boys. Also during this time Jennie's neatness habits began to develop into a form of mild OCD. Her powers also manifested around this time, during a heated argument with her mother she caused their microwave to explode. Bad luck began to follow Jennie everywhere she went as an uncontrollable side-effect of her probability manipulation powers. This culminated with her mother throwing her out of their house when Jennie was 15.

Jennie spent the next few months sleeping on friends' couches, and bouncing between the teen shelter and group homes. Finally, her friend Julia offered her a permanent place to stay. Jennie dropped out of school halfway through her sophomore year of high school so she could take a second part-time job and better support herself. During the summer of 2005, she found her friend and roommate Julia brutally murdered. The lead suspect was the woman's on-again, off-again boyfriend, who was under suspicion for alleged ties to the mafia. The FBI took her case, and with the girl being a mutant and with no where to go, they handed her over to agent Fred Duncan, who contacted the school.

Phase 1

Coming to Xavier's

Madelyn Bartlet met the young woman in the New York FBI offices, and convinced her that the school was the safest place for Jennie to go. In spite of some initial hesitation, Jennie agreed. After a slow start, Jennie settled in and began to make friends, including the young inventor Forge, and her powers tutor, Wanda Maximoff.

During the month of September, when the medlab was very understaffed Jennie volunteered and was trained as a medlab helper. During one of her shifts watching the comatose Tommy Jones she became bored, and along with Clarice Ferguson, painted his toenails.

She also met and bonded with fellow student Marius Laverne. The two quickly became friends after they got drunk together during the Seattle riots and later when Jennie dumped a bookshelf and a door on his head in retaliation for him being an utter nuisance. Also during the fall and winter Jennie contacted her mother, and began to slowly rebuild their relationship. In March, Penny revealed to Jennie she had been speaking with her parents again. However, her mother suffered a sudden stroke and died shortly thereafter. Jennie was accompanied to the funeral by Marius and Nathan Dayspring. Afterwards she asked Forge to locate her father, whose identity was still unknown. She finally contacted her father in the summer of 2006, and has begun a tenuous relationship with him and her stepmother and half-siblings.

During the summer she acquired a roommate after a year of living by herself, Crystal Amaquelin. After a bumpy start, the two befriended each other, and Crystal was the one who was the most vocal when Jennie disappeared.

Bleeding

During the summer Marius Laverne's maladaptive mutation finally got the better of him and frustrated, he left the school. Jennie left soon afterwards to visit her father in Europe. On the trip home, Jennie ran into Marius at a Paris airport and decided to stay longer in order to convince her friend to return to the school. Unbeknownst to either of them, she became caught in an empathic loop that prevented her from leaving anyway. She accompanied Marius and Manuel de la Rocha around Paris, and later to Monaco when the former's parents cut him off. She was vehemently opposed to Marius's purchase of Yvette Petrovic, but unable to make her opinions known due to the empathic loop. She used her powers to help them survive, but they eventually backfired on her and caused a probability backlash that resulted in Manuel being seriously injured. The staff, having shown up before the lucksnap, took both Jennie and Marius home.

After waking up and realizing what had happened was not entirely her fault, Jennie had a falling out with Marius, and refused to have anything to do with him. She also had a severe flare-up of her OCD, she cleaned the floor of her bathroom to the point where her fingers bled. Jennie finally reached a breaking point and sought help from the student counselor David Haller, and from Dr. Leonard Samson. Jennie also sought and received Yvette's forgiveness, as the girl became her new suite mate.

Vitiation and the Aftermath

On a visit to see her powers tutor, Wanda Maximoff, Jennie encountered Marie-Ange Colbert, who had a precognitive vision. When Marius later came into contact with the Infectia virus, he quickly started to degrade. When Marius startled Yvette in the kitchen, the younger girl found Jennie and asked her to help him. It is because of Marie-Ange's vision that Jennie followed Marius into the woods. Going by herself in a stroke of brilliance, she used her luck powers to find him, and lost her cellphone in the process. Having no control over his predator instincts, Marius chased Jennie, who tried to incapacitate him by hitting him with a tree. Wounded, but not out, Marius attacked Jennie, only to be subdued by Cain and Kyle.

Realizing that she still cared for her friend, in spite of his best efforts, Jennie sought Marius out and forgave him. The two resumed their friendship, claiming to the rest of the school that they had eloped while in Europe. Shortly thereafter Marius underwent an experimental medical procedure, and surprised Jennie on her 18th birthday, completely cured.

A Rough Spring

Jennie busied herself in getting back into school, determined to finish her senior year and get into a good college. Over Christmas she attended a family party after excusing herself from a family holiday over Thanksgiving. Much to everyone's surprise, Jennie's father invited Marius to accompany them as well. It probably had less to do with altruism and more with a desire to torture his mother-in-law, but nevertheless it ended up in a situation in which Jennie's half-brother tricked both her and Marius into kissing. Both decided to forgo the month of awkwardness in favor of never speaking of the incident again.

The new year came, and with it the mysterious comas and the Kansas City blizzard, where Jennie used her powers offensively for the first time and rescued some trapped teens. However, as the anniversary of her mother's death approached Jennie became sullen and withdrawn. She got a tattoo to commemorate her mother, and then later on the actual anniversary went out drinking and almost ended up in a bad situation. The night culminated in a fight/talk with her best friend that allowed her to come to terms with a few of her issues regarding her mother.

Jennie applied to both Columbia and NYU as part of a desire to stay close to home. She was eventually accepted into NYU and into the Tisch School of the Art's dance program. Jennie met Marius's sister Monet St. Croix, and found the girl rather odd, but nothing like the horror stories she had been told. She also formed a stronger friendship with Illyana Rasputin after the girl was deposed as the ruler of Limbo. She also fought off dinosaurs as the field trip curse reared its head yet again. Afterwards Jennie began to openly express her desire to leave the mansion for an apartment in the city.

Ahab

While out for dinner, Jennie and her friends Marius, Kyle and Crystal were ambushed by mercenaries. All but Crystal were captured and taken to an abandoned hospital in New Jersey to meet one Rory Campbell. While in Campbell's hands she and her friends were twisted and brainwashed into becoming Hounds. The school intervened as swiftly as they could, but when the X-Men arrive the changed students attacked on sight. Jennie fortunately caused a lucksnap that caused her and the boys to regain temporarily control. Jennie turned on Ramrod and shredded him before throwing in a bleeding ulcer while she was at it. She was knocked out, and mercifully restored to normal before the effects of the spliced DNA could culminate in her death.

Afterwards, she was left with a desire to be more proactive against people who hate and fear mutants in order to alleviate feelings of helplessness and anxiety. She also came to see the X-Men in a new light, as the hope that they would come to her eventual rescue kept her sane during her capture. After discussion with both Kyle and Marius, all three decided upon a course of action. They arrived in Ororo Munroe's office to ask permission to join the team as trainees.

The Real World

Jennie graduated with honors, miraculously in light of her many absences, and eagerly began her training. However, with the disappearance of Attilan, and the loss of her friends Crystal and Forge, Jennie had a slight Moment. She walked to Poughkeepsie and back while memorizing an almanac. She can now recite the populations of every country above "m".

She was also invited along on two missions. Much to Marius's chagrin. The first, she had to overcome an old hurt and rob a casino. Again. This time she gave it back, though. She also waited in the getaway car when Marie needed to steal some things.

When word reached the school that Crystal and Forge were alive, and with Forge's subsequent return Jennie found herself strangely affected. Must be that whole "numerous deaths of close friends and family" thing. Eventually she got over it and welcomed back her friend.

School started, and Jennie found herself in a completely different world than what she was used to at Xavier's. Now with a new roommate, Noriko Kikuchi, new classes and her training continuing, it was anyone's guess whether or not Jennie could keep up.


Graduation

In October, the Russians decided to take out Magneto with a big fricken space laser. This had no unforeseen consequences whatsoever. In the ensuing melee, Jennie was called along with Marius to go to the Australian outback to rescue Scott Summers. Jennie wound up having to go one-on-one with Nimrod, and ended up having to drop the blackbird on him. Nimrod escaped, and Jennie spent her 19th birthday very high on painkillers as a result of the beating she received. But all in all, she considers that one a win.

In November, an order of monks tried to take out several probability manipulators, including Jennie, Domino, and Wanda. They quickly learned why this was a stupid idea.

When the psis went crazy, Jennie, along with Terry were sent to retrieve David Haller from a convenience store and wound up foiling a robbery in the process. As a result of her quick thinking, Jennie was promoted to full team status, the first of her class of trainees.

Unfortunately, her first official duty as a full team member went horribly awry, and she wound up spending three days stuck as a dog. She tried to maintain a sense of humor about it, but the casual cruelty of her peers came off as a shock to her, and when she regained her shape, left her with some food for thought. Especially in light of the different treatment Angelo Espinosa received for essentially the same public actions.

Thankfully, something did go right for Jennie. She and Terry were able to help Tatiana Caban when she was in peril and bring her to the mansion, Jennie herself taking on an angry mob. Of course, many were visibly intoxicated, but the principle is the same. She acquitted herself well, the lessons she had been taking with Pete Wisdom coming in handy.

Jennie was the quintessential college party girl, her frequent answer to difficult situations being to get drunk - or to tell others to get drunk. The anniversary of her mother's death was one such situation, Manuel's return another, which caused issues with her friendship with Marius as the Australian pulled his typical disappearing act. Their relationship was further complicated by Jennie's realisation that she'd developed a crush on her oldest friend at the mansion, a fact she managed to hide from Marius, although the poetic truth-telling sports drink fiasco made it a very close call. Brash and no-nonsense, she would sometimes get into arguments on the journals, especially with Laurie Collins and Amanda Sefton, the latter two never really resolving their issues. Another unresolved problem was with team member Garrison Kane, that particular clash erupting on the journals following the Baron Zemo mission.

In October 2008, Jennie appeared to have died in an heroic attempt to save lives on the George Washington Bridge during Day Zero. Her powers saved her - barely - and she spent some time recovering. In the months that followed, the team seemed to be the only truly stable element of her life, as she found herself leading part of a mission and being groomed for eventual leadership of the team as a whole. That all nearly fell apart in May 2009 when she found herself pregnant to the boyfriend who had already dumped her. She had to pull out of the Budapest mission at the last minute and faced having to tell Scott and Jean why, and her lashing out on the journals nearly cost her several friendships, including the long-standing one with Forge. She lost the pregnancy not long after confirming it, and after some time concentrating more on her school, she accepted an internship with the Royal London Ballet Company and left the mansion.

Powers

Jennie has the ability to manipulate probability, which is like telekinesis on a quantum level. She can give objects or people, and to a degree certain situations, "good" or "bad" luck. I.E, a lamp sitting on a desk has a 50/50 chance of staying on the desk or falling over. With her powers, she pushes it to a 0/100 percent chance in either direction. But sometimes the results aren't always what she plans. If she uses her chaos powers, the lamp could tip over, it could short out and break, or it could disintegrate. With her luck powers, she can do anything from finding missing objects, affect the outcome of a card game in her favor, to (theoretically) dodging bullets, (she's not too eager to test that one out). If she manipulates a certain kind of energy too much, the natural balance will be upset and the universe will snap back, sort of like a rubber band. The universe wants to stay in 50/50, and will reassert itself forcibly if she messes with things too much. The last time something like this happened, she accidentally destroyed two city blocks after an overuse of good luck.

Her powers also come with a type of short-range precognition. She "sees" probability as red or white light on the edges of her vision, and more directly if she squints. The more a type of light an object or situation has, the more energy of the opposite type she has to throw at it to get what she wants. It also helps her to read certain situations. If the world goes red, something's about to go FUBAR. She projects the energy via flat disks, which are that way for no other reason than she played a lot of frisbee as a child and it's easier to aim than a straight energy blast. She can also affect objects with a touch, and project a good or bad luck field around herself.

Equipment

None.

Trivia

  • Jennie is horribly embarrassed by her middle name and only a select few of the Xavier's residents actually know it.
  • Jennie's godparents are actually two former drag queens who were friends of her mother. They may be the ones responsible for her middle name.
  • Actually quite smart, Jennie was the one who figured out that Forge, Kyle, Jay and Marius had been in her laundry basket and messing with her things in their ill-conceived panty raid. She was also the one who spearheaded the revenge that left all four boys tied up in the foyer in women's underwear.
  • Jennie has memorized the first 100 numbers of pi, can sing the distributive formula to the tune of jingle bells, and balances the medlab budget in her spare time.
  • As a dance student, she is now forced to shave her legs during winter.
