Full name: Rahne Sinclair
Alias: Wolfbane
Age: 20
Birthday: February 11
Hometown: A little town in Ross and Cromarty (Marvel Cannon)
Appearance: Rahne is 5’5” with red hair that has a mind of its own (in that is tends to tangle and curl wildly) and hazel eyes. She has a naturally athletic build because of her mutation, which has her spending a lot of time running around either on two legs or four. All this running around also has a direct effect on her wardrobe, and her clothing is usually more practical in nature than functional, and occasionally smudged with dirt or grass.
Personality: Rahne is generally amiable and laid back, despite some hardships in her childhood. Though sometimes quiet at first, she is quick to warm up to people and loves to make friends. She has a temper but is not necessarily quick to anger. Rather she can be extraordinarily stubborn, and more likely to argue a point for a long time before losing her temper over the issue. Rahne is also extremely loyal to those she loves and trusts, never taking family or friends for granted.
Powers: Rahne’s gift if the gift of shape changing, and her alternate shape is a wolf, a darker russet color than her hair. She can choose, also, to change only a part of herself. For instance she can form claws, and sharpen her teeth without sprouting fur. Even without changing any of her body she has naturally acute hearing, sight, and smell.
History: Rahne was born and raised in a small town in the Scottish Highlands. When she was 13 her powers manifested quite by accident one day, and she immediately went to her parents for help. Panicked, fearful, and a little bit ashamed, her parents did what seemed reasonable at the time. They located a hospital on the east coast of the United States that was designed to “cure” such genetic mutations. But St. Victor’s Hospital for the Genetically Abnormal was more a prison than a hospital. For five years Rahne lived in misery and pain, subjected to any number of painful, humiliating, and horrible tests as the staff of the so called hospital studied the “mutant condition”.
Because Rahne was committed there against her will, when she turned 18 the hospital could no longer force her to stay. She was a legal adult and had the right to walk away. With a pack of her few possessions she fled the hospital. After a year of struggling to survive in New York, alone, Rahne got word of a place outside the city for people like her. It was a sanctuary for mutants, a school. She was 19 at the time, and had no need for classes, but what she needed was a home.
The institute became Rahne’s second home, and after Professor Xavier’s gracious welcome she settled in to life there quickly. Not long after her arrival she met Logan, and started a new chapter in her life. What started one race through the woods became a regular game, became their idea of quality time, and eventually a relationship… however unusual. But then the virus came. People started dying en masse, and somewhere in the chaos Rahne and Logan lost touch. By the time it was mostly over she hadn’t seen him in a while and had her own affairs to attend to. Specifically: finding a way back to Scotland to make sure that her own family had survived. No matter what they’d done to her family was family.
She succeeded in getting to Scotland, and had intended to return to Xavier’s as soon as she confirmed that her family was safe. Unfortunately these plans fell by the wayside when she returned home and found only a shallow grave in the yard, and her mother who believed that Rahne was a hallucination created by her own guilt. It took a whole year almost for Rahne to fix things, having her father properly buried, moving her mother in with an aunt and family who had survived the virus, and not only making sure that she was on the path to recovery, but reconnecting with her for the first time in 7 years.
Finally, with all this accomplished, it was time to return to New York state. The idea filled Rahne with joy and trepidation. She viewed the institute as home now, more so even then Scotland. But she’d left suddenly, and without any real goodbyes, just a note to the senior staff explaining where she was going and that she’d return. Now she is back in America, having made it across the Atlantic again, and returned hom.
