Just 3
I, Michelle, only have three I'm clearly slacking (Jessica is the fourth).
This journal is Karma, also known as Xi'an Manh Coy from Canon so you probably know her. The same backstory applies, just for the modern era - from Vietnam, a sketchy uncle in the military, a boat ride across, and ending up with nothing in America but two young siblings she looked after. Xavier's took her in when she was fourteen (that's when she arrived here, so she wasn't on her own) so she's been here the past four years going through high school. She's an XC Freshman this year, is on the teams track, and had to go from being very serious/rigid/no fun to opening up quite a bit which she's done. So! She's been here a while, is a telepath/mind-jacker, and has likely been a go-getter in an academic/team sense for a while now. You'll know her! She's been gone since Christmas time settling her younger siblings with a relative she found out about the past year, and she's a little late coming back - there was a bit of trouble she'll tell you all about when she pops up this weekend.
I also have Pat Bellucci (~stormseye) who is an incoming HS Soph. Ash is trying to tell me Pat is a lateral move from his actual name Pasquale, but that's definitely not true in my mind. He's from nearby in Brooklyn, and his power involves being the eye of a storm. He can make a tornado, a hurricane, a snowstorm, etc, but the only catch is it centers around him entirely. He made a mini-tornado in Brooklyn a few weeks ago you might have seen on the news. He has a very big, very stereotypical Italian-American family except he's the oddball as an only child. He's pretty chill, not a loud or outgoing sort, but not a sourpuss or asshole either. He'll be friendly enough, but if you're over the top giggly or ridiculous he'll probably just... sigh and talk to someone else. He'll be here tomorrow making a cyclone in the cafeteria in a scene.
Then finally I have Anjali Raina (~invisiblebox) who is a 30 year old coming back to Xavier's to teach Biology and Ecology. She's an alumna herself, she's 30 and was here around 2008-2012ish before going back to her native Australia to get her degree in biology and work in a greenhouse/plant sciences firm. She thought she was going to get married, didn't, and decided she wanted a bigger change so she took the job to teach here and pay it forward since Xavier's helped her so much. Her powers are she makes invisible telekinetic constructs so she's looking like a mime all the time. She can make anything, not just walls, you'll see her in class pick up something invisible and cut some paper or something with invisible scissors, or use invisible cutlery in the cafeteria. I don't think anyone from her class is here right now, but the older guard would have graduated when she first started so they might have still been around and known her as the shy kid who kept embarrassing herself with her powers by running into walls she made inadvertently while trying to get to class on time. She's grown up now, caring, approachable, and knowledgeable in her field.
