## **History**

### **Childhood: 1978 - 1989**

Jean Grey was the youngest of three daughters of Professor John Grey of the History Department of Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York, and his wife Elaine Grey. Jean also has two younger brothers, Roger and Liam.

When Jean was ten years old, she was playing with her best friend, Annie Richardson. While running to catch a ball, Annie was struck by a car right before Jean's eyes. This traumatic event jumpstarted Jean's powers causing her to experience Annie's own emotions and thoughts as she died. The shock of not only this tragic loss, but also experiencing the sensation of death, sent Jean into an almost catatonic state.

Not only did Jean become incredibly withdrawn and deeply depressed, but she lacked the ability to control her new mutant abilities and was unable to isolate herself from the ocean of others' thoughts always flooding over her. Without any idea what was happening to their girl, John and Elaine Grey sent Jean to be treated at the Ravencroft Institute in Westchester County, not far from the Graymalkin Estate.

### Institutionalized: 1989 - 1993

Not long after being taken to Ravencroft, Jean encountered Charles Xavier in her thoughts. Charles contacted Jean's family and acquired the necessary permission to visit Jean. After their first meeting, Charles was able to use his own psionic power to put blocks in Jean's mind that held back much of the constant psychic barrage she was experiencing. Once she was able to think clearly, Jean gave Charles a big hug.

Charles taught Jean a few basic tricks before he left. When he returned, he bought his friend Erik with him. Charles asked Erik to assess the biomagnetic field around Jean to estimate her own potential power. Much as Charles presumed, Erik said she has such a rare power.

While Jean was being treated and making incredible bounds, Charles kept visiting her. He taught her to hide her powers, explained what it was to be a mutant, and brought her art supplies.

During one visit, where Jean's parents were taking their girl home for the holidays, Charles pitched the idea of enrolling Jean in his school. Since Charles had been instrumental in Jean's recovery and his school was close to Ravencroft in case of a relapse, the Greys agreed to allow Jean to attend. Before parting, Jean gave Charles a hug and then gave him his Christmas present. Charles opened the gift and found a picture of a boy with beams coming from his eyes. Charles asked who it was and Jean said "I was hoping you'd know... You need to find him. He needs your help, too".

### **Year One: 1993 - 1994**

Jean would eventually meet the boy she had painted. The two were put on the Alpha Squad together. Jean knew right away he liked her, but she needed to let the idea of a relationship marinate for a while. During this time, Jean became close friends with Bobby Drake, taking to him easily as he reminded her of her two younger brothers.

### **Year Two: 1994 - 1995**

During the summer break, Jean went to stay with her parents but came to visit her classmates for a poolside birthday party. Jean had so much fun soaking in all the happy thoughts, she decided to throw caution to the wind and planted her lips on a very surprised Scott Summers. She then asked him "What took you so long?" They've been dating since.

## **Personality**

Jean Grey is apparently a strong-willed and independent woman, who secretly struggles with her nature, perceived as something alien to herself. Very wise for her young age, Jean won her teammates’ love with her positive attitude and cheerful spirit, but gained their respect with her mature way of facing problems and her innate capability of staying close to people. Jean is one of the most powerful beings on Earth, always striving to maintain control over herself.
