She is able to make friends quite easily and is fiercely loyal. The unlucky few who make an enemy of her, sorely regret it. Illyana has a strong bond with her brother, Piotr, who is also a mutant.<br/><br/><strong>Hobbies:</strong>Swimming, archery<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong>Illyana was born the youngest of the Rasputin's. Her older brother, Mikhail, became a cosmonaut for the Soviet Union. However, he disappeared during a mission. The rest of the family was devastated, but life on the farm had to continue. A few years later, Piotr saved her from a runaway tractor. His power to transform his skin into a steel-like substance; nearly indestructible. It was not long after that, that he was recruited into the X-Men.<br/><br/>When Illyana was six, she was kidnapped by a demon and taken to a dimension known as Limbo. There, the ruler of Limbo - Belasco - attempted to corrupt her soul by use of the Bloodstone. He tempted her with the Bloodstone, saying that he would bestow great power upon her. However, Illyana didn't realize that this also allowed him some degree of control over her. While in Limbo, she was constantly beaten by Belasco's servant; a demon named S'ym.<br/><br/>Time moved differently in Limbo. As years passed in the dimension, only a few moments had gone by on Earth. Illyana escaped with the help of Cat and Storm, Limbo's versions of Kitty Pryde and Ororo Munroe. However, she was now 13 years old and her parents didn't recognize her. Immediately afterwards, Illyana was pulled back into the Limbo dimension by Belasco's use of the Bloodstone. Once there, Cat and Storm managed to hide her from him and began instructing her in the use of her powers.<br/><br/>After some time, Illyana challenged Belasco to a fight. Using her new found abilities and control over her powers, she used her own life force to manifest a blade known as the Soulsword. The blade seemed ordinary at first, but the more Illyana used it the more powerful it became. Intricate designs began to appear on the handle and blade as it absorbed more and more power from fallen enemies.<br/><br/>Illyana bested Belasco and killed him, gaining control of Limbo and all its inhabitants; including S'ym. She told him he could either serve her in Limbo, or die by her hand. Naturally, he chose to live and became Illyana's servant.<br/><br/>Several years later, Illyana left Limbo and went on a search for her brother. Her travels led her to New York, where she found Xavier's school. She was 16 when she began classes.<br/><br/>When Magneto and his mutants attacked the school, Illyana fought alongside her brother and friends. She summoned demons from Limbo to push back the attackers. It proved quite helpful and prevented more damage from being done. Unfortunately, Sabretooth sensed when her guard was down and attacked her. After all was said and done, Illyana was in the infirmary for quite some time with several broken ribs and a dislocated shoulder.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_u">Mutations and Powers</span></span><br/><strong>Classification:</strong>Alpha<br/><br/><strong>Type of mutant:</strong>Created<br/><br/><strong>Powers:</strong><br/><span class="bbc_u">Stepping Disks</span>- For teleportation.
