Name: Alessandra Withers
Nicknames:N/a
Code Name: Sora
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Powers/Special Abilities:
Flight without Wings- Alessandra can fly without the need for wings. This mutation is probably in correlation with her ability to control air and manipulate it. This was the last of her mutations to reveal itself to this present day. She wasn't too sure why, but she is guessing on age and the strain to be able to fight brought about this ability.
Air Manipulation- The first of her mutations, Alessandra can control the patterns, strength and shape of the air that is around her. Sometimes with enough strength and concentration she can create large tornadoes that can tear up everything around her. As she continues to learn how to use them and control this power alone she has been able to create shapes with the wind.
Vibration Wave Control- The second of her mutations, vibrations are most often sound that is bounced off of everything, especially air. Alessandra can intensify and direct the waves especially when she combines the ability with her wind manipulation. The vibrations can intensify to the state of knocking over buildings or shattering glass.
Appearance:
Alessandra has jet black hair that is kept tied at the nape of her neck because of her mutation and the fact that she is always flying and her long hair would just be a bother. When she does wear it down it is when she feels truly relaxed and safe. Her black hair frames a relatively pale complexion set with two bright, ice blue eyes. Her eyes look like the icy winds of the north that she takes pride in controlling. Most often it is her eyes that will tell the truth on what is going through her mind or how she feels when her own voice will deny it.
Her body is somewhat lithe but athletic with all the extensive training she has done over the years. The lithe body and light body weight is due to her need to be able to fly and control the air as well. Alessandra's movements are very graceful in movement especially when she flies and uses it to her advantage when fighting. When she is fighting on the ground the graceful movement carries over as well.Alessandra can usually be found wearing something light weight but when she is fighting for the X-Men she'll make do with the leather uniforms that she has to wear.
Personality:
Sora is a very reserved person, but that doesn't mean she is quiet. She can be very opinionated when it comes down to really serious issues. She is really good at making small talk and keeping herself out of conversations, but when someone wants to have an in depth conversation about her or things she does she will usually shove them off with a sarcastic comment and move on. Generally she is nice to others but not extremely friendly or outgoing.
Romance and love are two things Sora avoids like the plague. She has had admirers but allowing someone that close makes her shiver because she has a real trouble with trusting someone because of past events. She will bolt or completely ignore someone who shows her that kind of affection or tries to get her to open up and be with them. The only love she allows herself to experience for the time being is that of innocent love with children, especially the younger mutants. She is a spitfire and can be flirtatious but she doesn't mean too much by it.
Sora at one point worked with a team and found it wasn't her style of fighting, especially after all the pressure and misuse they had caused on her. She is an excellent fighter when it comes to hand to hand combat because of her line of work and her practice with Tai Chi, Northern Shaolin and Ba Gua, types of martial arts. She prefers not to use any mutant powers to keep from people associating her with her work. She prefers to work alone when it comes to mutant rights. Though today she working towards being able to work with a team once again.
Her temper is the only thing that is dangerous about her. She can control it very well but when she is pushed to her limits she can't control it. It is like a hurricane hit the location she is at and it about kills and destroys anything around her. Her powers go crazy as she tries to destroy the reason she was pushed and controlling herself. When she has gained her control again she becomes very cold and closed off to people not because of hate but shame. She hates it when her temper becomes uncontrollable.

History:
Sora, even though that isn't the name she was born with, knows her parent's marriage was an arranged one based on business. Her mother was an important political figure while her father was a rich and powerful CEO of a lot of companies. She was born exactly nine months after their marriage but was to never experience the feeling of a family. Feeling that they could barely stand each other and needed to get away, her parents split but didn't divorce. Her mother took Sora to England where she would grow up. Her mother was never really around while Sora was growing up so at a young age she was already getting into mischief and disobeying not only her family but the law itself.
Sora acquired her mutation at the age of twelve after she was almost kidnapped by another mutant who was trying to get to her mother. She used it against the mutant and got herself out of the situation. From then on she kept her power hidden from her mother, afraid that this would end up in the politics and ruin her freedom. She continued up until the age of fourteen to practice with the power she acquired. Young and wild she used her power to the greatest extent. When she turned fifteen she met her second mutant, a girl who had the telepathy mutation and had been abusing her power as well. Sora joined with her to cause havoc on the school until her mother reprimanded her after discovering her daughter's mutant ability.
Sora was kept at home for schooling with a tutor to keep her out of trouble but she still found ways to sneak out and meet the girl. The girl knew of other mutants their age and took Sora to her first official meeting with a club that had been started. This club was called Mutant Takeover, a group of mutants who played with humans and sometimes even injured them. Naive to the real business behind the club she joined with them and began to help them run amuck in London. She took up the codename Black Shadow because her graceful yet dark nature of sneaking in and getting out without a scratch. She soon became so engrossed with the club that she forgot about her family and school work. This club had become her whole life. At the age of eighteen she was able to drink legally and not only used that next advantaged but abused it. She began to drink excessively when she was not out messing up the humans. The drinking though was the clubs way of using her, and would be the first time she was used for her mutation.
After a night of messing with humans and later drinking the club decided to test Sora on her commitment to the club. Headstrong and stupid, especially with all the alcohol in her system she was ready to prove herself. The club put her through vigorous and disgusting test ranging from eating certain things to performing certain sexual acts. The last thing they had lined up for her to do was kill a human, to show her utter hatred for humans. The human they brought in was her mother, this caused something inside of Sora to snap. She saw what the club was doing to her and what they wanted her to do. This was the first and only time so far she had lost her temper to an uncontrollable point. Her mind in a rage she lashed out at everyone there without a thought, the only thing she felt was the need to hurt those who had just tried to use and hurt her. Most of the club was either dead or severely injured. Her mother on the other hand was fine but Sora was so ashamed that she ran away.
Sora found herself in an area of London that she didn't recognize, so she didn't really have any idea where to go from there. Alone and tired she found herself asleep on the stairs of what she thought was an abandoned building. She was found there by an older mutant who lived in the building and took her inside after she passed out from exhaustion. For the the first couple of months she was there she felt like she had a some what normal life. This ended when the mutant she had been living with wanted to created a Mutant Activist group. Remembering the last group she was with she prepared to run. The mutant she lived with stopped her and had her sit down and tell them about what had happened. After she explained it all she found herself a co-founder of the mutant activist group which was in no way as radical as the last.
The types of martial arts that Sora would teach to the new recruits were chosen depending on their mutation and skill level with hand to hand combat. For those with a more fierce fighting style or mutation were taught Northern Shaolin because of its quick movements, fierce fighting style and aggressive style. For those with a softer hand to hand combat style and/ or possessed a softer mutation that dealt with concentration were taught Tai Chi to help center their minds and expand their fluid movements. For those who were flexible and quick the last and hardest to learn martial art was taught to them. This martial arts was Ba Gua, a martial arts that deals with the fighter having a great amount of flexibility. Sora taught this to only two other mutants in the group.
After the group had been together for over two years, making her eighteen they had her go on a mission with a new recruit to teach them the ropes. This mission was intricate but not too difficult but it happened to involve more humans than normal. While she was trying to finish retrieving all of the files they needed the new recruit went viciously after the humans. Sora being unable to stand death tried to stop the new recruit and ended up getting injured in the process. Barely able to get out alone she made it back to the building and found that the people there were turned against her for stopping the new recruit and leaving him. She tried to explain but they wouldn't hear it. Kicking her out of the group she was left once again alone.
At the age of eighteen she left for America and hopefully a new life. She had heard of the Xavier Institute and was more than thrilled to find a real place where she wouldn't be used. Though she joined the X-Men she still kept up with some of the drastic activities of the mutants who fought for their rights.When she isn't busy with work at the mansion she sometimes takes a leave and does some work for the activist groups. She keeps her identity secret by going by her nickname Sora, but with the X-Men she is Alessandra.
Role Playing Sample:
The wind outside was latent with rain and the sounds of thunder. Sighing a bit to herself, Alessandra shook out her long black hair and made her way quietly to the back door of the mansion. If any of them caught her moving towards flying around they'd complain and give her hard time once again about doing things that were unhealthy for her. So what if she had gotten a slight cold the last time she went flying in the rain. It wasn't like she couldn't keep the rain from touching her in the first place with her air manipulation mutation. The rain would never touch her but it was the cleansing feeling that it gave her when it touched her skin and slid off even if into her eyes.
She tied her hair tightly into a pony tail before she slipped out the back and felt the first touches of the rain drop on her extended hand. It made her smile slightly as she walked slowly out into the rain and began to spin around. Some would have second guessed themselves to who they thought was outside, mainly because she never showed really excitement or feeling when it came to anything. This was one of the few things she liked but would never really tell someone about it. Her life hadn't been too kind to her and she knew it, she knew that trusting was pushing her limits and she wasn't willing to push her limits yet.
Looking up at the sky she pushed lightly with her feet so she would moved up into the rain, the feeling of it coming down on her while she was rising up into the air. She stopped for a moment and glanced down at the mansion that loomed below her. She saw a light in one of the windows and a few faces peek out and point at her. She took off quickly in hopes no one was really able to recognize her with all the rain, but none the less she wasn't ready to be paged quite yet by the Professor. She flew until she loomed a bit over the near by city and touched down behind one of the buildings. Her clothes were drenched and her hair was sticking to her face and clothes. She laughed a bit to herself as she noticed people watching her curiously. Right now though she could have cared less.
