## Biography

### History

The child who would become Kid Howell was one of the forty-three children born on October 1st, 1989 to mothers with no previous signs of pregnancy. Like the other children, xe possessed extraordinary powers. However, xyr abilities did not manifest until the age of four.

When xe was born Reginald Hargreeves attempted to adopt xem and xyr twin sister, Rosetta Parisi into the Sparrow Academy but their mother, Elena wouldn't let him. Unsure of how to explain the existence of the twins, Elena kept them a secret. The only other person who knew was their nanny/family friend, Catherine Stroble who they knew as Aunt Catherine. Unbeknownst to the Parisi family, Catherine was hired by Reginald to watch the twins and make sure they weren't dangerous.

The children were never allowed outside except for when Elena would sneak them out to the beach at sunrise before anyone else arrived. But when they were four Elena agreed to take them to a park in the neighboring town where they could play with other kids without being discovered. It was here that Kid's shapeshifting powers manifested for the first time rendering xem unrecognizable to xyr family. Xe got lost as a result and was later found by crime boss Elias Moreau. Upon realizing xe had powers, Elias adopted xem. Elias referred to the child solely as "kid" and the name stuck. As Kid grew up xe eventually forgot xyr family and previous life.

#### Befriending The Sparrows

When Kid was older Elias' gang would set up crimes around the city with the intention of drawing out the Sparrow Academy. Kid was tasked with befriending the academy members and collecting information about them. After awhile Kid grew to value xyr friendship with the Sparrows and told them the truth. Elias was angry that Kid had 'betrayed' him but the Sparrows rescued Kid and they decided to stay friends.

#### Learning the Truth

In the years that followed Kid tried searching for xyr mother, unaware that she had been killed in a fire when xe was eighteen. After several dead ends xe wound up living in the Academy alongside the Sparrows. At the Academy xe was eventually reunited with Rosetta although neither realized their true relation at the time. Rose later discovered Kid’s identity after meeting with their Aunt Catherine but kept it a secret to avoid telling Kid about the part she had played in their mother’s death.

When Kid began to suspect that Elias was up to something xe discovered that xyr father was attempting to replicate superpowers for non-powered people. Xe reluctantly agreed to help when Elias offered to reunite xem with xyr mother in exchange. Kid proceeded to undergo secret experiments with Elias, help surveil the academy, and even plant a mind control chip on Sky Hargreeves. The other Academy members were unaware until Elias revealed the truth and admitted that Kid’s mother was long dead. After learning about Elias’s scheme Rose confessed, finally telling Kid about their family history.
