Another one!
I don't have a problem, what do you mean? >_>
This is Indira Desai, Indy to friends. She is going to be the History of Europe and Asia teacher, plus a fun elective/whatever class called World Mythology and Folklore. (She became a little obsessed with mythology after her powers manifested, unsurprisingly) Her codename is Medusa because, well, that is what she essentially is. She can transform into a Gorgon (snake lower body, female upper body, snake hair) She hates this form, though, so typically avoids it if she can. Luckily, she can use aspects of her powers without fully transforming (the petrifying gaze, the dermal armor in the form of scales, the poison bite/saliva/blood) She will most often be seen with an eye patch because 1: the petrifying gaze comes from one eye and it looks freaky AF because it's not rightly colored and 2: there are nasty scars around it from the time she tried to claw it out of her own face. Whoops.
Indy can be a bit blunt, a bit bitchy, very much the boss bitch in charge type who surrounds herself with armor to prevent people from getting close and therefore hurting her. She still has trauma from her first "molting" (where she shed her skin to come into full powers), at which time she hurt several people and then tried to claw out her eye because of guilt. She was sent to an institution for it, though a rep from Xavier's fortunately got her out of there after only a couple years. Indy stayed at the school until college, where she went off to get her history degree and just try and forget that she's a monster her parents are ashamed/scared of. She came back after college for a refresher in control and more training, then decided to take the offered teaching position.
As of now, she's just returning from a trip to Greece (for research, duh) so staff or the older ones will likely know her. Some kids might remember her too as she's only been gone like 3 or 4 years. Her full bio is here. We need all the lines please!!!
