If they decide to stand up and fight her on her level, then i would be far more even, otherwise, she's going to be at a loss.<br/><br/><strong>General Personality/Traits:</strong>Vanessa has been, for the most part, sheltered from the life of crime fighting and superheroes. Her mother made sure to have her stay a little ways out of New York City when her innate abilities and charms were starting to show in her daughter. Thus, the girl has not been exposed to the real problems surrounding her existence and those of other mutants who are bent on eliminating the human race, or at the very least those with ideals against mutants.<br/><br/>Inheriting her mother's smarts, looks, and charms (among other things), Vanessa is seen as a popular child, and is not disappointed in that fact in the slightest. At times, she can be seen as a little arrogant; over confident in her abilities that it can drive the average person into jealous fits. In essence, a good girl with mischievous tendencies.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong>Vanessa was born in New York, New York under rather incredible circumstances. Well, the birth was as normal as any other, but having a mother who is as famous as hers for all the wrong reasons, it was quite the spectacle in the hospital. Growing up in a rather lavish home with everything one could ever really want and definitely need, the girl grew up well. Taking after her mother in the ways of athletics and never seeming to fail, Felicia, Vanessa's mother, had figured out that her daughter had caught 'the<span class="bbc_u">bug</span>' of mutant powers, and tried to nurture this in the most subtle of manners. When puberty struck, the brunt of Vanessa's powers had made itself known, and with a recent crime wave, her mother made sure to send her to live with some relatives out of Big Apple to keep her away from all of it.<br/><br/>For a year or so, it seemed to have worked. It was only when Vanessa read a little too far into her mother's past that her own little crime spree went under way. Being as old as she was, the teenager never went as far as banks or multi-million dollar pieces of art, but rather just homes of people she and her own group of friends didn't quite enjoy. Petty crimes turned into bigger crimes that eventually became rather boring and dull, leaving her instead to feel that her time is better spent getting rid of her 'competition'. Simply donning a black ensemble, Vanessa started her bid to become a local super heroine at the age of eighteen.
