Biography
Romany is the elder sister of Pete Wisdom; after their mother's death, she became his primary caregiver. In her youth she was wild and adventurous, exploring the forbidden with gusto. It was this rebelliousness that led her to become a member of Rack's cult for two years, before acting on a moment of distraction during a ritual to rescue the young child Rack used as a power source. Her lifestyle and history made her unsuitable to be a guardian to the child, a decision she wasn't entirely unhappy with, and Amanda was passed onto a foster family. Age has not particularly changed her ways; Romany is currently in a group marriage with two women, a man and the ghost of a former police officer, one Jerry Reynolds.
After finding Amanda on the streets of Brighton, several years after her rescue from Rack, Romany engineered her transfer to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters with the unknowing assistance of Pete. It proved to be a double-edged decision - several near-disasters led to Romany almost withdrawing Amanda from the school, including the girl's suicide attempt as a result of her addiction to her powers. When Amanda and various other students were abducted to Asgard, she came to the school to assist in locating them, which included an altercation with Alphonso de la Rocha, father of Manuel. Later, in an attempt to remove the influence of Selene, the truth of Romany's involvement with Rack came out and created a schism between her and the London Coven, part of the English magic community. Romany then largely went her own way, withdrawing to work with Dr. Stephen Strange on a spell to bind Selene for once and for all. This created a gap between her and Amanda, one which has not been fully healed. Romany still meddles in the lives of her brother and Amanda, however these days she has learned some restraint, and with the events of Operation: Opening Salvo she has taken a much lower profile to avoid another kidnapping.
