She's fit and athletic.  Her arms, legs, and core have a well-defined feminine muscle tone.  She enjoys how her body looks and feels, and typically doesn't mind showing off some skin.  Her normal attire includes skinny jeans, midriffs, tank tops, and track shoes.<br/><br/>When powered up, several layers of ice coat her entire body.  In her words, she looks more like an ice sculpture than a person.  While still feminine in form, her features are difficult to interpret.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Bobbi is a fun-loving, wise-cracking kid who lives in the moment.  She's smart and intelligent, though, reckless at times.  While she has a serious side, she often hides it behind a more jovial and devil-may-care persona.  She tries to be optimistic.  Her compassion will even be extended to foes.<br/><br/><strong>Abilities:</strong><br/><strong>Thermokinesis</strong>: Bobbi is a mutant with the superhuman ability to lower her external and internal body temperature, projecting intense coldness from her body.  She can mentally override her hypothalamus to allow her body temperature to be lowered by an unknown internal mechanism. This ability converts the latent thermal energies in and around her body into an unknown form of energy that is efficiently dissipated.  She can consciously, immediately, lower her body temperature from its normal 98.6 Fahrenheit to absolute zero.  As her body temperature falls, the surrounding moisture in the air which is in contact with her is also lowered.  Like condensed moisture forming frost, this moisture forms an icy covering which encompasses her entire body.  It also obscures her facial features.<br/><br/><strong>Cold Immunity:</strong>A related mutation has rendered her body tissues unaffected by sub-zero temperatures.<br/><br/><strong>Thermal Vision</strong>: Ability to see beings due to the heat signatures that others give off, because of the absence of heat around her.<br/><br/><strong>Cryokinesis</strong>: Crystal can use her mutant ability to control moisture, such as to freeze any air moisture into super-hard ice.  This ice can be formed into any object of her choosing: the only limitation is her imagination, and the ambient air temperature which determines how long her ice sculpture will stay frozen.  She does not have to hold the ice physically in order to shape it.<br/><br/><strong>Flaws/Weaknesses:</strong>While outside of her ice form, Bobbi is much more vulnerable than she would be otherwise.  Further, the coldness she is able to generate is partially dependent on the ambient moisture available.  Likewise, intense heat will melt her sculptures and structures, unless she actively exerts a level of coldness that counteracts the heat.  Possibly, her biggest weakness is that she fears the full extent of her powers and will often hold back.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong><br/>Bobbi Drake was born in Tipano, New York, to William Robert Drake and Madeline Beatrice Bass-Drake. She is Jewish and on her mother's side and Irish Catholic on her father's.  Bobbi discovered her mutant ability to create ice at the age of 12, yet kept her condition hidden from everyone but her parents.<br/><br/>A year ago, during her Sophomore year of high school, she was on a date with Jimmy Harmon.  A local bully by the name of Rocky Beasely attempted to kidnap her.  Beasely attacked Jimmy and upon seeing Jimmy get hurt, Bobbi pointed her hand at the thug and encased him in a block of ice.  Later, the local townspeople, having heard of the incident, came looking for her in the form of an angry mob.  The local sheriff had no choice but to put Bobbi in jail for her own "protection".  While Bobbi sat in her cell at the sheriff station,  a man named Charles Xavier walked in and had Bobbi released.  They went to the Drake's residence, where Xavier sat down and talked with Bobbi and her parents.  Bobbi's parents suggest that she go with Professor Xavier to his "school for gifted youngsters". Bobbi took the suggestion and left with Professor Xavier.<br/><br/>Since then, she's attended the school and lived in the dorm.
