WHY, HELLO THERE. This is Callirhoe again (player of Kevin, Angelo, and Jean-Paul) with another student and my first girl. GASP. Meet Nori Ashida, aged 18, who is a mutant from Japan who's been living on the streets of various American cities since running away from home at the age of 13 and illegally immigrating to the US. She's also been using antipsychotic medications to control her mutation -- which, incidentally, is that she continuously absorbs electrical energy from anything and everything around her, which she can then use to create lightning bolts from her hands. FEAR HER. No, seriously, she doesn't have control of the mutation without her drugs, which is why she'll be coming to Xaviers soon, because as fun as it is being dependent on pills (NOT), she'd like to get that under control and actually, you know, live her life.

Nori in a nutshell is a headstrong, independent girl who's totally not afraid to speak her mind and will stand up against injustice wherever she sees it. She's got strong ideas about feminism and the duty women have to speak up for their rights and not submit to men in any way, so she'll likely clash with some young men (and women!) there. She's fairly proud, and while she'll take help from others, she won't take charity and will always pay back favors or anything she's given. Aaand there's more about her in her profile, I don't know. I always forget to say something in intros.

So! At the moment she's living on the streets of Salem Center while she's scoping out the school and being cautious about trusting them with who and what she is, and I'd love to introduce her to the school with a bang. In the comics, her arrival at Xaviers is... eventful, shall we say? It involves a confrontation with Julian, and Nori being subdued by a team of students who think she's a crazy homeless junkie. We don't have to play it that way, but I'd love for her to cause some sort of commotion when she comes in, because you know, there just aren't enough explosions around here. ;P If anybody wants to volunteer to meet her when she comes knocking who would not be thrilled by having some dirty homeless Asian chick wandering around the grounds, I WOULD LOVE THAT. <3

"What are you talking about? I'm totally smooth." He just haaaates on Nori. <3

Regan: Will be cool with her, I can't imagine she'd have too many problems with Nori, if any at all... just don't touch her iPhone, and it's all good! If Nori is cool with Regan, Regan is cool with Nori. It's as simple as that.

Laynia: will dig Nori. Especially since they both come from the Western world, if nothing else. She likes people with strong opinions too. Japan's views on mutants are very similar to Russia's. Either a mutant works for the government (like big hero six =/= winter guard, etc), or they don't (and are considered big deviants, potential criminals, often end up in sex industry (big problem in Russia), living on the streets, keep mutations hidden = stay alive, etc). So its a horrible double standard that they have going on, too. Right now, Laynia is sort of 'rose-tinted' to all of that thanks to the government, but maybe Nori could shed some light on that for her? Laynia knows of Big Hero Six, so her rose-tinted views apply to Japan as well.

Callisto: knows a thing or two about the streets after roughing it out for about 10 years, especially District X, she's seen all of it's garbage pass through the underground. Surge and Cal could have an interesting mentorship if you want to explore that!
