Crystal

**Character Bio -** Born into the Inhuman Royal Family as the younger sister of Medusa, Crystal was exposed to the Terrigen Mists as per the tradition of her people. The mists activated Crystal’s Inhuman powers, giving her control over the elements of Air, Fire, Water, and Earth. As a child, Crystal was forced to flee from her home in the City of Attilan when war broke out, and it wasn’t until years later when Crystal was an adult that she found her sister again. Unfortunately, Medusa’s memory had been manipulated by the villainous Wizard, leading Medusa to attack her sister. With the help of the Fantastic Four, Crystal was able to restore Medusa’s memories, and together they returned to Attilan. But in this time Crystal fell in love with the Fantastic Four’s Human Torch, which caused tension in the Inhuman Court. When a fight between King Black Bolt and his brother Maximus the Mad caused serious damage to the city, it was decided to move the Royal Family away to safety, and Crystal was allowed to return to the Fantastic Four.

When Invisible Woman gave birth to her first child and removed herself from active duty, Crystal stepped in to take her place on the team. Her time as a successful member of the team was eventually ended when it was found that Crystal was slowly being killed by the pollutants in Earth’s atmosphere. Returning to Attilan, Crystal met and fell in love with the Mutant Quicksilver. Eventually the two married, and had a daughter, Luna. Crystal for a time joined the Avengers, but later returned to her people. Crystal and Quicksilver’s marriage was rocky, and despite attempts to repair it, eventually fell apart when Quicksilver, depowered like many other Mutants during the events of M-Day, stole Terrigen Crystals in an attempt to repower his fellow Mutants. When a war with the Skrulls forced the Inhumans to flee into Kree space, Crystal was forced to marry Ronan the Accuser in exchange for protection for her people. Despite her initial dislike of Ronan, Crystal eventually formed feelings for him over time, and opted to stay by his side through many conflicts. Now back on Earth as a conflict between the Inhumans and Mutants has escalated to the brink of war, Crystal leads a small task force in an attempt to defuse the conflict, and to protect Inhumans, Mutants, and Humans alike.
