Name: Emily Hays. She usually doesn´t go by that name as she abandoned it when she left home. Hardly anyone knows her full name, even her first name is only known to very few people.
Alias: Shade
Age: 30
Looks:
Height: 5 feet 7
Hair: surpassing shoulder length. Very dark brown and wavy
Eyes: green
Powers:
Invisibility.
She has full command over her own invisibility and so far can extend her powers to other persons or objects for a limited span of time. She has increased her command of invisibility since she appeared on G&I and is thus able to work on what she calls "fine tunings" which refers to little tricks such as:
- "writing" on her body with traces of invisible skin
- making parts or layers of her body vanish
- forming "riplets" of invisibility around her e.g. when standing in water
Stealth.
An extended version of her invisibility extending to being undetectable even for heat and sound scanners. (Probably her stealth has no immunity for empathy though) Has been triggered once only yet and seemingly works only under life threatening situations as a survival instinct. As she is training her powers achieving to get better command almost constantly, her stealth is slowly drifting into a facet of her power that becomes consciously accessible to her. So far however, its use is immensly draining and doesn´t cover veiling her emotions.
Dress sense:
Mostly a casual jeans and shirt or top. No girly girl clothing even though she does not mind wearing a skirt or dress at special occasions.
Special features
A tattoo on the front of her right lower hip near the hip bone formed as a double Native American tribal that indicates the symbols for "eye" and "fire" as a homage to her childhood nickname Bloody Fire in her Eyes.
History:
Shade was born and raised in a small town near Asheville, North Carolina to human parents who showed acceptance towards her mutation which showed when she was 12. She had a happy childhood and was a true tomboy, having more boys than girls as friends. After high school she studied history to become a teacher, but shortly after her graduation her younger brother Jimmy who was 12 at that point was killed by unknown anti mutant activists who broke into her apartment at night. Shocked and disillusioned Shade witnessed her brother´s death, unable to help and, fearing for her own life and being confused ran off and away from home to finally arrive at Xavier´s School for Gifted Youngsters, seeking someone who would help her to get revenge. Since then Shade has been in and out of the Brotherhood, abandoning her membership there when she came to the conclusion that revenge wouldn´t take her far. She has been a teacher for History and Creative Writing ever since she arrived at the mansion. She has never really chosen a side since leaving the Brotherhood, reluctant to join the X-Men for various reasons. She tehrefore was not directly involved at defending the mansion against Wideawake, but helped indirectly, by getting the younger students to safety.
About two years after Wideawake she ran into her brother´s murderer by chance. Saving a fellow mutant from the hands of the human supremacists, she was influenced by the man´s powers and killed her brother´s killer, the deed and the way it happened causign a temporary amnesia and a loss of the knowledge of the finer tunings of her powers. Both have since then been restored again with the help of the Prof, Gambit and Tante Mattie.
In the wake of the apokalypse, her previous training with Gambit and her powers helped her to survive. She retreated to the mansion but only after making it to North Carolina to make sure her family was safe. her parents, having lived in a suburb, could make it out and have joined a group of survivors near the town where they used to live, some of the rest of her family however have gone missing or are reported dead.
Shade returned to the mansion partly motivated by wanting to protect mutant kids that were bound to filter in by and by. She had started to make a connection to Connie. Ever since she has made more frequent use of her powers, also expanding her skills in her stealth, using it to scout unseen and unheard.
Character:
Kind, predominant sense of slightly odd humour, good listener, friendly and curious. She can be pretty spontaneous and is highly loyal to her friends. Her greatest fear is being helpless while bad things happen to the ones she loves. Can tend to place the needs of those she cares for before her own. Shade can be rather emotional at times, mostly following rather her heart than her reason. She also can be rather stubborn when it comes to emotions and opinions. Usually, it´s difficult to set her off, but when she feels need to protect friends and loved ones, Shade can get into a pretty nasty mood.
Even though she would mostly place herself on the "good side" she won´t deny everything that is considered risky or illegal right away. She has her little secrets, and has currently become more daring and tough.
