Megan Gwynn

## Background

### 1994 - 2007: Megan Gwynn

Megan Gwynn was raised as the sole daughter of Kathryn Gwynn. According to her mother, her father was a simple coal miner who died on the job. His death became a lot for Kathryn to handle, so she left Megan to be raised by her grandparents in the small mining town of Abergylid in Wales.

Despite her unconventional childhood, Megan enjoys her grandparents' company & consider the couple to be her best friends. She was widely known for her perky & upbeat personality, which she also states to get from her grandmother. Megan constantly stated that if she was raised by her mother, her personality probably would've been much sour.

While riding her bike home from her parent's house, Megan was almost hit by an oncoming car who was not paying attention. She tries to jump off her bike but instead, her mutant powers activated & she manifested rainbow-colored butterfly wings allowing her to fly. Fleeing the scene immediately, Megan told her grandparents wha happened, knowing they would know what to do. She did not know that they would be calling her mother.

Despite their strained relationship, Kathryn's protective side came out & she knew she had to do her best to keep Megan safe from the mutant haters of the world. Kathryn herself was a fairy, an ancient being with magical energy manipulation, immortality & wings. But she was also aware Megan's father was a mutant but decided not to disclose anymore information than that. Not sure whether it was her fairy or mutant abilities activating, she entrusted her daughter with Professor Xavier & the X-Men at the Xavier Institute.

### 2007 - 2009: Pixie

After enrolling at the Xavier Institute, Megan spent her first year getting acclimated to her new lifestyle. During the summer to her second year, the Institute decided to implement X-Men Training Squads for the high school students to ensure the student would be prepared for the day they may need to defend themselves or even become X-Men. Taking on the codename Pixie, she was assigned to the Paladins Squad under the tutelage of former New Mutant, Wolfsbane. After two months of learning under her, it was discovered that Wolfsbane had been in a romantic relationship with a student Elixir. She subsequently left the school & was temporarily replaced by her former teammate, Karma before Magma took over permanently. Gwynn proved herself to be an amiable & cheerful student, fitting in well with her squad.

While out one night, Blindfold told a frightening "ghost story to her, Anole, Loa, Wolf Cub, Gentle & Rockslide. Pixie & some of the others became frightened by the story. It soon turned out that this tale wasn't a story at all but rather a vision of things past & of things to come. The group was soon sucked down into the realm of Limbo, where they were immediately attacked by a mob of demons. Pixie stayed by Blindfold's side during the fight, where she cautioned Pixie & the others that Gwynn must not "fall into darkness." For the first time outside the Institute, Megan used her powers & incapacitated several demons with her "pixie dust." They soon encountered Illyana Rasputina, currently in her Darkchylde persona, saved the small group & had Megan brought to her. Despite her friends trying to stop her, Megan gave into Darkchylde's request for a portion of her soul to create a Soulsword. Illyana then explained that the knife was actually a portion of Pixie's own soul, which is why her Souldagger was smaller than the original Soulsword. Black magic could now fill the hole left behind, leaving Pixie no longer an innocent personality & changing her hair to pink.

After being taught the teleportation spell by Illyana, she teleported herself & her friends to Belasco to stop him from torturing the rest of the team. In order to save her friends, Illyana explained that she must use her knife to stab Belasco. Though hesitant, Pixie followed through with her orders & lost more of her innocence by stabbing the villain. After defeating Belasco, Megan teleported her friends away from Limbo.

## Powers & Abilities

* **Fairy-Mutant Physiology:** Pixie is a hybrid of a mutant & fairy. She possess powers granted to her both by her mutation & inherent magical abilities, without a clear distinction regarding the source of each power.
	+ ***Hallucinogenic Dust*:** Pixie produces spores from her wings which cause powerful visual & auditory hallucinations in her victims. This dust effects others by being inhaled or through skin-contact. Often the hallucinations are calming & pleasant images such as teddy bears, bubbles and unicorns.
	+ ***Immortality***: Faeries are functionally immortal. They are immune to the effects of aging and cease aging upon reaching adulthood. As a hybrid, it is assumed that Megan retains either full immortality or at least longevity.
	+ ***Magical Energy Manipulation***: All Faeries have a strong capacity to manipulate mystical energy, which they often use to perform spells. Because of this, she has vast potential as a Sorceress.
	+ ***Spell Casting***
		- ***Teleportation*:** To teleport, Megan uses the spell "*Sihal novarum chinoth!"* to transport herself or others instantaneously. She can also teleport inter-dimensionally. Even while inexperienced in teleporting, Pixie has shown a great amount of aptitude for it to the point where she is able to reach locations before her teleportation coach: Nightcrawler.
		- ***Demons Banishment:*** Using a spell from a Cheyennes magic book, she was able to banish demons.
		- ***Sleeping Spell*:** Scarlet Witch taught Megan a sleeping spell *"Mists of Morpheus, go!"*
	+ ***Wings*:** Pixie has insectoid wings protruding from her back that allow her to engage in flight & with great maneuverability. Her wings are rainbow-colored & butterfly-like.
* **Souldagger:** A piece of Pixie's soul was taken by Magik to forge a smaller version of the Soulsword, called the Souldagger. The Souldagger can strike the supernatural, as it only harms magical creatures or objects. It rarely injures non-magical beings or items. When using the dagger to strike a person who is possessed, ensorcelled, or otherwise magically controlled or transformed, the sword will be able to counter or break the spell. Pixie can also store her Souldagger in nothingness & summon it whenever she desires.
