## History

### Early Life

Emmalina was a relatively happy child when growing up. Born to George and Christina Ross, Emma was an only child that got spoiled by the riches of her family. Her mom was the owner and promoter of one of the world's leading cosmetic brands while her dad was making a name for himself as an action director in Hollywood. However, Christina had been hiding a dark secret from her family. Her mother had been a witch in hiding, having only revealed this secret to Christina and Christina's father before his passing. When Christina herself failed to inherit any magical abilities from her mother, she assumed there would be no reason to worry about her daughter. But she was sorely mistaken.

Emma's powers manifested in her early teenage years, just shortly after her fourteenth birthday. She hid these abilities in fear of what her parents might think of her. But one night after she snuck out to get in some practice with her newly discovered magic, she was found by a classmate of hers named Leo. Leo himself convinced Emm to join him, showing off a sophisticated ice gun he designed himself. When asked to join on his adventures, she at first didn't know what she was saying yes to. It didn't become clear until later that night when the two stood in front of a jewelry store that Leo was trying to talk her into becoming a criminal. Emma immediately said no and returned home, leaving Leo to rob the store himself.

The next day, however, Emma was discovered on the security cameras in front of the store just moments before the robbery. She was viewed as an accomplice to the crime and was facing charges which her parents were able to have removed from her record by bribing the authorities. But their disappointment in their daughter and decision to label her as a criminal was emotionally devastating to the young teenager. Her parents didn't believe she wasn't involved in the crime, and took away her inheritance and forced her to stay in her room without being allowed to leave for any reason. Feeling neglected and blamed for something she didn't do, Emma fled the house and went to find Leo, breaking him out of jail and going on the run with him.

The two teenagers formed a budding romance while they started pulling heists together. Emma was against the idea at first. Breaking the law wasn't exactly what she would consider a fun pastime. But after becoming accustomed to a certain lifestyle that she could no longer afford, she slowly eased into the pattern of robbing banks and hijacking jewels. Most of her magic turned out to be based on manipulating the probabilities of situations around them, and thus Leo bestowed Emma with the nickname of "Lucky" while he referred to himself as "Kid Cold."

Unfortunately for Emma, the budding romance and partnership wouldn't last. Once Leo had enough money to escape the city, he left during the night while Emma was left to wake up alone. Once again, she had been left abandoned and devastated. Emma struck out on her own for four years after that, jumping from city to city and gathering a fortune to maintain the high expense lifestyle she had been living most of her life. It was on these journeys that she met some new friends that called themselves Gizmo and Mammoth. Gizmo was a tiny tech genius, while Mammoth was a brutish behemoth.

The three teammates of Lucky, Gizmo and Mammoth were a powerful trio. Within just a year or two into running heists with her new partners, Emma decided it was time to move on from her past with Theo. Lucky was the sidekick to Kid Cold. But now? Now, Emma was the leader of her own crew, and she needed a new name to lead her new team. That was when she revealed her new codename. From that point on, she'd simply be known to the world as Jinx.

At the age of twenty-one, Jinx and her two partners had gotten over-confident and captured during an attempted raid on a military outpost to retrieve some top secret government project for Gizmo to study for his own inventions. The three of them were sitting in a jail cell, powers dampened with nowhere to go but prison. But fate must have been on their side, as the guard for their cell had been an undercover agent for a brand that called themselves HIVE. The HIVE was recruiting young, powerful soldiers for an upcoming project. Potential was seen in the leader of this trio, Jinx. A deal was placed on the table for her to accept. Her bail would be paid and her record erased. All of her future crimes would be covered up and hidden. All they needed in return was the services of Jinx in her crew whenever the HIVE called on them, with the addition of a few more young soldiers to add to her crew if she so accepted. Of course, the deal was a no-brainer. Jinx shook the stranger's hand, and was soon introduced to See-More and Billy Numerous. The inclusion of these two and the new trio of Jinx, Mammoth and Gizmo created what was being called The HIVE Five. And together, they were going to show the world that they were a force to be taken seriously.
