### Childhood: 1967 - 1982

Cecilia Reyes was born to her loving Puerto Rican father, Alejandro Reyes, and his African-American wife, Maria Washington-Reyes. The Reyes family lived in the Bronx, a borough of New York City that faced significant challenges in the late sixties and seventies, including an economic downturn and high crime rates, but the Reyes family remained hopeful and committed to their community despite these difficulties.

Growing up, Cecilia witnessed the struggles her neighborhood faced. The fires that ravaged the Bronx during this time left many homeless and the city's response to the crisis was inadequate. This sort of neglect only exacerbated the crime rates, leading to a rise in gang violence. When Cecilia was ten, a neighborhood gang gunned down Alejandro in a drive-by shooting while he was walking home with groceries — when he was mistaken for a member of the gang's rivals.

However, throughout the mourning and amid the chaos that followed, Cecilia found inspiration in her mother, a nurse working tirelessly to provide care to those in need regardless of her own personal difficulties. This sparked Cecilia's determination to become a doctor and use her knowledge to help her community and anyone else who needed aid.

In school, Cecilia was always a bright student and excelled academically. With Alejandro's passing, Maria put extra effort in supporting her young daughter's dreams and encouraged Cecilia to pursue higher education.

### Coming of Age: 1982 - 1985

When Cecilia was fifteen, she began to notice strange occurrences around her. Objects near her would suddenly move or be knocked over without Cecilia making any contact. Other times, Cecilia would feel an invisible force emanating from her body. Though she didn't understand what was happening, Cecilia kept this aspect of herself secret and rarely made an effort to develop this ability further — focusing on her studies.

Against all odds stacked against her, Cecilia managed to graduate from high school with top marks. With the support of her mother and by virtue of her own remarkable will, she earned a scholarship to ESU.

### Empire State University

At Empire State University, Cecilia focused on her studies, but being alone in her dorm room gave her opportunity to do some experimenting with her unexplored mutant ability. It was during one of these secret training sessions, Cecilia got a knock at her dorm room's door. There in the hallway was Cecilia's genetics professor: Charles Xavier.

Charles tried to help Cecilia make some sense of her mutant nature, but Cecilia was not interested in being a mutant or exploring these abilities further. She tanked Charles for his help, but asked him not to tell anyone about her and declined meeting any of Charles' other friends.

Charles kept his promise, but when he departed from ESU, he checked in to leave Cecilia with his contact information. Following Xavier's departure, Cecilia finished her classes and earned her degree.

### Medical Career: 1993 - 1995

Cecilia returned to the Bronx, where she started a surgical internship at Our Mother of Mercy Hospital. She managed two years at the hospital before an angry gunshot victim at the E.R. attacked Cecilia, causing her power to subconsciously trigger. Panicking, Cecilia fled home, tearing her apartment apart until she found Professor Xavier's calling card.

Honestly, she showed at both the best and worst time imaginable, but we're glad she did. She's been a real lifesaver! Hehe... literally even.

## Analysis

* **Mutant Level:** Cecilia is a Gamma-Level mutant with Beta-Class projected potential.
* **Mutation: Psioplasmic Bio-Field:** Cecilia possessed the mutant ability to generate a bio-energy field around her body. This field can permeate anywhere from six inches and up to several feet from her body at all times. This field is always present and is usually invisible. However, upon the detection of a threat, this field suddenly manifests as a hardened field with glass-translucency to deflect the immediate threat. Cecilia can use this to shield others from harm provided they are close to her. The strength and durability of the energy field are directly propotional to Cecilia's concentration and emotional state. When fully focuses, her bio-energy field can withstand high-impact forces, such as high caliber bullets, explosions, collisions with high-speed vehicles, and physical blows from being with enhanced strength. With concentration, the field can also be fine-tuned to allow certain objects or individuals to pass through, while still maintaining its overall integrity — however it requires intense concentration to override the field's subconscious trigger and intentionally allow a threat.
	+ ***Force Field Manipulation:*** Cecilia can manipulate her bio-energy field to create various shapes and constructs, such as walls, platforms, and simple objects. While her primary focus is on protection, Cecilia can also use her force field offensively by willing it into powerful energy blasts or extending it outwards to repel opponents.
	+ ***Hyper-Awareness:*** When Cecilia's bio-field isn't triggered by a threat, its dormant state acts as a sort of sensor or radar field in her presence, constantly scanning her immediate surroundings for perceived threats. Though the passive perceptive aspect of this ability is laser focuses on possible threats, Cecilia can tap into it to give her heightened alertness to the area around her. Using this, she can perform extremely accurate diagnostic scans of her patients in the field without equipment or scan a small crime scene for possible clues in a handful of seconds.
* **Expertise: Medical Doctor:** As a trained medical doctor and novice trauma surgeon, Cecilia has extensive knowledge of human anatomy, physiology, and medical procedures. She is skilled in diagnosing and treating a wide range of illnesses and injuries, as well as performing surgery when necessary.
* **Background: Bronxite:** Born and raised in the Bronx, Cecilia Reyes has a deep love and appreciation for the diverse and resilient community that shaped her upbringing. She understands the unique challengers faces by the people of the Bronx and similar communities, which allows her to connect with them on a personal level.
* **Language:** Growing up in a diverse household, Cecilia is fluent in both English and Spanish. She is also knows some Latin from her medical books.
* **Faculty Duties:** With the restructuring of the academy following the fallout and Cecilia's arrival, I've turned over the care of the students to Cecilia so I can focus on instruction, assisting Charles in his recovery, and lab research to help the students further understand their powers. Cecilia helps me with all of this, too — whenever she's not busy with broken bones from a training accident or digging glass out of Logan from his latest tavern brawl.
