Full Name: Marie Raven d'Ancanto
Alias: Rogue
Age: 24
Birthday: 6th March 1988
Hometown: Meridian, Mississippi
Current Occupation: Waitress at Hellfire/Leader of the Brotherhood
Appearance: Standing at 5'5", Rogue is of a rather average height and build. She is not overly skinny nor is she overweight. Her skin is quite pale as a result of having to spend so much time with it covered up and even when her skin is exposed, she doesn't tan too well. Her hair is naturally a reddish brown with two white streaks in the front however she has been known to dye the streaks red, blue and even briefly green. Due to the nature of her hair colour and how it was obtained, Rogue's hair does not dye easily when she is not cured, causing her a need to re-dye before most other people would. Her eye colour is a caramelly hazel colour that can appear almost greenish or very dark under different lights.
While not cured, Rogue tends to wear lots of long sleeved tops and/or opera gloves and sticks to jeans or trousers. During her teen years, she favoured almost psuedo-punk clothing in accordance to her rebellion and though she has kept some of these traits, in recent years her clothes have become much more casual.
Personality: If Rogue is your friend, she can be lovely; if not, she is a complete bitch. Her personality borders on bi-polar with extremes of mood between depression and ectasy, unable to happily exist in any sort of middle ground. Though she treasures the friends she has, she no longer goes out of her way to make new ones and enjoys the freedom of being able to move around.
History: Born Marie Raven d'Ancanto in the small town of Meridian, Mississippi to parents Peter and Donna, nothing in Rogue's early life was any more special than completely average. She went to school and church with all the same people, growing up in a town where everyone was stagnated and stuck in their ways.
Aged fifteen, Marie got her first boyfriend, a boy by the name of Cody Robbins who she sat next to in English. He was your average redneck boy and nothing about their blossoming relationship suggested they were going to ever deviate from their parents' paths. It was only when Cody and Marie were in her room one day, discussing her dream of being an explorer that suddenly things stopped being ordinary. Cody had leaned in to kiss her, and the second their lips had touched, Marie's mutation had triggered. With just that small touch, she had sucked enough of the life from Cody to render him comatose. As her parents called an ambulance, Marie had been inconsolable, her head filled with Cody's memories, emotions and sub-conscious. From then on, she knew she'd never be normal again.
Scared and outcast, Marie could stay in Meridian no longer. The people there didn't know exaclt what had happened but that fact that she'd put Cody in a coma for three weeks was enough to see her snubbed by the town's residents. Packing her bags, Marie adopted the alias 'Rogue' and fled Mississippi in the middle of the night, hitch-hiking to Canada with the goal of starting a new life in the place she'd dreamt of visiting. However, the town she arrived in wasn't exactly everything she'd been expecting and she tucked herself into a corner of the bar, unsure of what to do now. She had no money and their wasn't exactly any honest work she could do in the area.
It was in this bar, in a middle-of-nowhere town that Rogue came to realise she was not alone in being so different. When one cage fighter tried to pull a knife on another, she gave a cry of 'look out', only to find that the man she was warning was more than capable of taking care of himself. From his hands, silver claws glinted under the dull bar lighting and suddenly Rogue understood that she was not the only person to have a gift. Convincing the reluctant cage fighter, known as Logan or Wolverine, to let her ride with him, the pair fled the bar and the town.
While driving, the pair crashed in something more of design than accident. Trapped in the vehicle, and watching as Logan was attacked, Rogue was convinced she was going to die, until a group clad in black leather appeared like something from a movie and saved both her and Logan. Taking them to a mansion in West Chester, New York, it turned out that these mysterious saviours were a group known as the X-Men who operated from the basement of school designed for those with special powers - mutants. The mansion offered a roof over her head, square meals and a place where she'd fit in and Rogue wasted no time in saying yes to staying.
Though everyone was incredibly nice to her, Rogue's self-esteem had taken something of a kicking from her experiences back home and it was only when she met John Allerdyce and Bobby Drake that she got any confidence back. Bobby was sweet to her, and Rogue found herself developing a crush even though her powers made her two scared to act on it straight away. However, her new found happiness at the mansion was doomed to be cut short and one night, unable to sleep, she crept into Logan's room to talk. He had been having nightmares and as she tried to wake him, he stabbed her through the shoulders. Mortally wounded, Rogue did the only thing she could think of and raised a bare hand to Logan's face. Using his powers, she was able to heal herself but almost killed him in the process.
Feeling alienated again because of her actions and egged on by an enemy mutant disguised as Bobby, Rogue decided she could stay at the mansion no longer and fled in the night again. However, what she wasn't counting on was that not only the X-Men would be on her tail, but a mutant terrorist organisation known as the Brotherhood as well. Their leader Magneto wished to use her in a machine to mutate the whole of New York City and while being talked into returning to the mansion by Logan, Rogue was kidnapped by Magneto and his cronies Mystique, Sabretooth and Toad.
Terrified and captured, Rogue failed to understand Magneto's reasons for wanting to kill her but his need for her alive prevented any of the other Brotherhood members causing her harm. Chained inside the torch of the Statue of Liberty, Rogue found herself facing death as Magneto transferred his powers to her to start the machine. As it began to work, Rogue found herself put through incredible pain by both the machine and Magneto's memories. It was as this all occurred that the front of Rogue's hair turned white.
The X-Men managed to stop the Brotherhood and their plan, but by the time Logan got to Rogue, she was hanging by a thread. Holding his hand to her face, at first it seemed like she was a lost cause until her powers began to claw at the lifesource and Rogue awoke, scared and confused at the top of the Statue with Logan and Magneto passed out around her. It was a traumatising experience but as she returned to the mansion, her friends helped her re-adjust to being 'normal'.
As Logan took a break from the mansion, Rogue began to date Bobby, taking a very cautious approach to the relationship that threatened it itself. Her relationship with Bobby tested the strength of his friendship with John, causing the once best friends to become rather tetchy around each other and make John seem even more distant than he had been on first meeting him. Logan's return to the mansion was tainted by a night time attack from forces assembled under William Stryker who was building a reverse Cerebro to try and destroy mutantkind. Seeing as many children to safety as she could, Rogue escaped with Logan, Bobby and John to Bobby's parents' house in Boston.
It was while at Bobby's house that he and Rogue shared their first kiss, despite Rogue's fears of draining him. The kiss did not give her as much of his mind as any of her other encounters had but it was still enough to feel tied to Bobby quite considerably. However, they had little time to reflect as soon the police were upon them, having been called by Bobby's anti-mutant brother. Using his powers, John blew up several police cars and officers before Rogue drained him to reverse the damage and leave him weakened. For the rest of the flight when the X-Men appeared, Rogue was to dwell on what she'd seen in both Bobby and John's heads.
While the X-Men infiltrated Stryker's Weapon X base at Alkali Lake, Rogue, Bobby and John had been told to stay inside the jet. Unable to just do that, John left them, leaving Rogue feeling like she too had to do something to help. Despite having had no training, Rogue flew the jet, allowing the X-Men and rescued students an escape before the dam broke. Leaving without John, they were informed that he had joined Magneto, leaving Rogue feeling rather heartbroken to have lost a friend to the man who'd tried to kill her.
Returning to the mansion without John, Rogue and Bobby began to train to become X-Men, their realtionship becoming rather distant due to Bobby's friendship with Kitty Pryde. A short while into their training, Worthington Labs perfected their 'cure' for mutation and began to market it. All thoughts of the cure were pushed aside however when Professor Xavier was murdered, leaving the mansion torn apart with grief and unsure of its future. With an uncertain fate hanging over her and having seen Bobby kissing Kitty, Rogue packed her bags and left the mansion to go and be cured. Being away, she missed the battle between the Brotherhood and X-Men on Alcatraz Island, seeing only sections on the news and worrying for the lives of her friends.
Returning to the mansion as a normal human being, Rogue was not to stay for long as the school closed, dipsersing its student and staff. Rogue travelled for a year, unable to stay long in one place and having no contact with Bobby. Their realtionship was over and in honesty, Rogue was not heartbroken by this. Within three months, Rogue's powers had returned and she therefore jumped at a chance to return to the mansion when she recieved a letter to say it was re-opening due to a miracle that had led to Xavier being alive.
One of the first to return, Rogue had a large amount of time before classes started again and she found herself unable to just sit in her room after the freedom of travel. The problem of the re-opened mansion was the addition of Magneto to the faculity. He claimed he had reformed his ways but no one save Xavier seemed truly convinced. Filled with a confidence she had lacked on first meeting, Rogue confronted Magneto about his actions but found herself unable to view him with the same disgust she had, his memories too vivid in her head after the cure had worn off. As people began to fill the mansion once again, Rogue became something of a social butterfly and made many friends, the closest of which being a girl by the name of Dia Sanders who she came to adore.
Despite her better judgement, Rogue befriended Magneto and when he secretly formed his new Brotherhood, she was first to sign up, living a double life between the mansion and Magneto's lair. The re-appearance of John Allerdyce ignited feelings she had long supressed but as he involved himself with Kitty Pryde, Rogue threw herself more heavily into her Brotherhood work. As she tried her best to fill Mystique's shoes, Rogue's found her relationship with Magneto taking on a new edge that no one would have suspected. She tried to put down the romantic feelings she felt for him, knowing that his age and what he had done to her in the past should have stopped them from occuring in the first place and yet she found herself falling into a dangerous infatuation.
Disillusioned and full of optimism, Rogue believed everything Magneto promised her and any ties she had to the X-men were abandoned. And for a while, she was happy. Magneto understood her mentality and exploited her understanding to keep her on side. When he offered her the cure he'd fought so vehemently against, she let go of any doubts she may have had about him and placed her trust in him and him alone. On her nineteenth birthday, Rogue's commitment to Magneto was consumated in a rash action.
Barely twenty-four hours later, Magneto had dissapeared and Rogue was left alone to try and build the Brotherhood back up and ignore the empty feeling in her stomach after Magneto leaving. Seeking solace in John, he and Rogue grew closer, their relationship complicated by the fact that John was still dating Kitty. This however was resolved when Kitty walked in on Rogue and John kissing, essentially ending the realtionship. When John left the mansion to live in the city, Rogue got herself a job at the Hellfire club, partly as a way to see John more often. The job was hectic and the uniform awful but it gave her money and that was all that mattered.
Spending more time in the city, Rogue came to meet a young girl by the name of Beth when she nearly got hit by a car. Wondering why someone so young was all alone, Rogue came to discover that the girl had been abandoned by her mother and with no other option open to her, she had taken the girl to the mansion with her. Sympathising with the girl's fears, Rogue was reluctant to give her to the authorities and bought herself more time by trying to send Beth away with John. When this backfired, they were left with no other option but to put Beth into the system.
Reunited with John following the incident with Beth, Rogue and he grew closer again, trying to ignore her heartbreak from being abandoned by Magneto. Trapped in a mansion full of awkwardness and bad memories, Rogue left to set up home in an apartment in the city with John and for a while they were happy, even if they did quarell.
Their happiness was short-lived when Rogue discovered she was pregnant. Initially John was happy, believing the baby was his, but their relationship became strained when Rogue revealed that the dates were wrong and that the baby was in fact Magneto's. Disgusted with herself, Rogue slowly adjusted to the idea of being a mother, even noticing a change in John as he came round to the idea. Discovering the baby was a girl, thanks to the powers of then-Brotherhood member Seer, Rogue picked the name Iris after hearing a song on the radio and relating to it completely.
After an arguement with John one night, Rogue stormed out of the apartment, falling down the stairs at an awkward angle. Though John got her to the mansion in time to heal her, they were unable to save the baby and all the coming-to-terms Rogue had done fell apart around her. For awhile, she was an emotional wreck but slowly began to recover thanks to John who was doing all he could to cheer her up. This including the purchase of the first of the pair's dogs - a white Husky named Princess. Returning to their apartment in the city, they also adopted a little Daschund for John named Zippo.
A few months later, the pair became engaged and it seemed their lives were on track. However, Rogue's deep-set commitment issues and need for freedom caused an emotional conflict and she left John, breaking off the engagement via a note on the coffee table. Returning to the mansion, Rogue kept herself to herself until John arrived and the pair slowly began to approach their relationship again. When John took off to Australia without a word, Rogue was heartbroken but her relief to see him when he returned made her quickly forgive him.
It was only when Lucy Branding turned up in New York, claiming that she was John's wife (as it was, the drunken marriage they'd taken part in was not legal), that Rogue listened to her head and left John, taking to the road with Logan. Even when they returned, she steared well clear of John, even kissing Logan in a bid to get him to stay at the mansion. Realising that her old friend had developed an immunity to her powers, she found an old crush lighting up again inside of her but she did her best to supress it. This in itself was made hard by Rogue continuing to live at the mansion.
While she continued on with her life, Beth ran away from her orphanage to find Rogue, not wanting to be adopted and never see her or John again. Scared that if she sent her straight back, the little girl would only run away again and this time might not find them before someone else got to her, Rogue took Beth and tracked down John to an old hotel where he was running the Brotherhood from. Here, she met Astral, John's ever-victim girlfriend who was as far from Rogue as you could get.
Eventually, John and Rogue managed to convince Beth to return and she was adopted by a couple moving to Florida, with the couple promising she could write to them. That day, Rogue left Brotherhood HQ, and refused to keep in contact with John. On returning on the mansion, she kept her distance from Logan as well, focusing instead on her blossoming friendship with his love interest Rahne.
Her happiness in the mansion was short-lived however, when the threat of the Legacy virus became much larger. Scared that things were about to become much harder for mutants, Rogue set off on a search for Magneto, believing that no matter what her personal issues with the man were, he was the one to keep mutantkind safe. While searching for Magneto, Rogue bumped into John who seemed to have abandoned the Brotherhood to set up home with Astral in the apartment that had been their's. He offered Rogue a place to stay with them, not wanting her to return to Magneto but she refused and instead found her own lodgings in the city, taking a job at the re-opened Hellfire Club to make some extra money.
Meeting a man who was also looking for Magneto in the city by the name of Pietro Maximoff, Rogue decided that her best chance of tracking the man down was by setting herself up in the Brotherhood and bringing them to prominence. As it turned out, Pietro was Magneto's son and with him and his twin sister Wanda, Rogue seized control of the Brotherhood again and the members Siryn and Maya that John and Astral had left in an abandoned subway station, well equipted and refurbished into a base by previous occupants.
The station was home for just a short time when it was stormed by agents from the disbanded team UNIT and the MBI. Amongst those in the attack was a friend of Astral's by the name of Eclipse. After a tense stand-off that resulted in her team suffering injuries, Rogue was able to negotiate a retreat and the Brotherhood fled. With her team (not to mention her own wrist) shot up and bloody, they had little choice but to make for John's apartment that served as an emergency hospital. With Dia on the run from the MRA in Canada, they were without a healer and had to make-do with what few medical skills John had. Though he did a good job, Rogue's wrist was destined to scar badly where she had been shot.
Taking up residence with John and Astral was a tense situation that resulted in John and Rogue reflecting on their past relationship. When this was teamed with alcohol, the pair became reckless and left the apartment to visit Dia just south of the border. While they were with their friend however, Sabretooth was trying to find answers from the Brotherhood as to Magneto's whereabouts. Using Astral to try and achieve this goal, the girl was subject to a brutal attack before Pietro could get word to John, Rogue and Dia who rushed back to New York.
With Astral in a bad state, Rogue took the Brotherhood and found a new base in an abandoned fire station that they did up to make workable. Keeping her distance from John, Rogue was even able to go on a successful date with her boss, Fitz Darmonte and seemed to be moving on, even if her feelings for John refused to go away. The relationship barely lasted more than a night however, when she ran into John and the pair kissed. What led on from this night were a manic few days in which John and Astral broke up and he reconciled with Rogue.
Eventually Rogue moved back into the apartment, finding life going well for once as she and John managed not to argue. She had plans for the downfall of prominant anti-mutant politician David Greene, but John objected so they were put on the back burner. While this could have sparked a major arguement for the pair, they continued to go strong. Life was perfectly normal until the post arrived one morning. Tucked in amongst the various bills and junk mail was a small parcel, filled with paparrazzi-style photos of the pair and a locket once belonging to John's mother. Aware they were being followed by someone who knew them very well, the pair became more alert and worried about who exactly was on their tail.
Determined not to let this stalker ruin their life, Rogue and John continued to go on as normal, just being extra-sure to lock the doors and windows at night. It was around this time that they became aware that Astral was dating Eclipse, whom Rogue remembered from the attack on the Brotherhood. An air of unresolved anger hung over Rogue and Astral, especially in the wake of her and Eclipse both getting jobs at Hellfire and having to see them on a regular basis.
The edge of having to work with her rival was removed somewhat by the development in Rogue's relationship with John as he proposed on the same night Rogue had her scar covered with a tattoo. Instantly agreeing to marry him, Rogue did so with a condition that the wedding be a small affair with as few people as possible. Complete in her existence, it was Murphy's Law that things were destined to take a bad turn and that turn came far too quickly for Rogue's liking. When John returned home one night saying he was leaving and that she shouldn't look for him, Rogue knew something was wrong but was unable to stop him going.
For months, she was alone, unsure of where John was but sure he was in trouble. Dying her hair blonde, Rogue adopted the name Anna Smith and took on a job in the offices of David Greene, acting every bit the bimbo to get him to trust her. She uncovered little bits of information suggesting something illegal was going on but remained unable to help John. When he managed to telephone her, saying his father who had long been presumed dead had him as well as Dia and her partner, the Doctor, Rogue knew she had to act. Gathering the Brotherhood, they broke John's father's prisoners free and the pair were reunited.
With John cured and his father still loose, Rogue felt the time to get married was now and she went back on her own condition of the small wedding. Deciding that they should make it a day to look back on fondly, Rogue asked Fitz for financial help and soon found her plans being put into action by his pushy sister Zara. With the ceremony set to take place at the mansion, Rogue found herself desiring the small ceremony when it came to the big day itself. Ironically, luck came in the form of an interuption caused by a search of the mansion conducted by David Greene and the police.
Rogue and John both suffered from the memory loss, waking to find Rogue eight months pregnant. Reuniting with Siryn and Maya, they began to adjust to the idea of being parents and on January 18th, their son Leo was born.

Seeking solace in John, he and Rogue grew closer, their relationship complicated by the fact that John was still dating Kitty. This however was resolved when Kitty walked in on Rogue and John kissing, essentially ending the realtionship. When John left the mansion to live in the city, Rogue got herself a job at the Hellfire club, partly as a way to see John more often. The job was hectic and the uniform awful but it gave her money and that was all that mattered.
Spending more time in the city, Rogue came to meet a young girl by the name of Beth when she nearly got hit by a car. Wondering why someone so young was all alone, Rogue came to discover that the girl had been abandoned by her mother and with no other option open to her, she had taken the girl to the mansion with her. Sympathising with the girl's fears, Rogue was reluctant to give her to the authorities and bought herself more time by trying to send Beth away with John. When this backfired, they were left with no other option but to put Beth into the system.
Reunited with John following the incident with Beth, Rogue and he grew closer again, trying to ignore her heartbreak from being abandoned by Magneto. Trapped in a mansion full of awkwardness and bad memories, Rogue left to set up home in an apartment in the city with John and for a while they were happy, even if they did quarell.
Their happiness was short-lived when Rogue discovered she was pregnant. Initially John was happy, believing the baby was his, but their relationship became strained when Rogue revealed that the dates were wrong and that the baby was in fact Magneto's. Disgusted with herself, Rogue slowly adjusted to the idea of being a mother, even noticing a change in John as he came round to the idea. Discovering the baby was a girl, thanks to the powers of then-Brotherhood member Seer, Rogue picked the name Iris after hearing a song on the radio and relating to it completely.
After an arguement with John one night, Rogue stormed out of the apartment, falling down the stairs at an awkward angle. Though John got her to the mansion in time to heal her, they were unable to save the baby and all the coming-to-terms Rogue had done fell apart around her. For awhile, she was an emotional wreck but slowly began to recover thanks to John who was doing all he could to cheer her up. This including the purchase of the first of the pair's dogs - a white Husky named Princess. Returning to their apartment in the city, they also adopted a little Daschund for John named Zippo.
A few months later, the pair became engaged and it seemed their lives were on track. However, Rogue's deep-set commitment issues and need for freedom caused an emotional conflict and she left John, breaking off the engagement via a note on the coffee table. Returning to the mansion, Rogue kept herself to herself until John arrived and the pair slowly began to approach their relationship again. When John took off to Australia without a word, Rogue was heartbroken but her relief to see him when he returned made her quickly forgive him.
It was only when Lucy Branding turned up in New York, claiming that she was John's wife (as it was, the drunken marriage they'd taken part in was not legal), that Rogue listened to her head and left John, taking to the road with Logan. Even when they returned, she steared well clear of John, even kissing Logan in a bid to get him to stay at the mansion. Realising that her old friend had developed an immunity to her powers, she found an old crush lighting up again inside of her but she did her best to supress it. This in itself was made hard by Rogue continuing to live at the mansion.
While she continued on with her life, Beth ran away from her orphanage to find Rogue, not wanting to be adopted and never see her or John again. Scared that if she sent her straight back, the little girl would only run away again and this time might not find them before someone else got to her, Rogue took Beth and tracked down John to an old hotel where he was running the Brotherhood from. Here, she met Astral, John's ever-victim girlfriend who was as far from Rogue as you could get.
Eventually, John and Rogue managed to convince Beth to return and she was adopted by a couple moving to Florida, with the couple promising she could write to them. That day, Rogue left Brotherhood HQ, and refused to keep in contact with John. On returning on the mansion, she kept her distance from Logan as well, focusing instead on her blossoming friendship with his love interest Rahne.
Her happiness in the mansion was short-lived however, when the threat of the Legacy virus became much larger. Scared that things were about to become much harder for mutants, Rogue set off on a search for Magneto, believing that no matter what her personal issues with the man were, he was the one to keep mutantkind safe. While searching for Magneto, Rogue bumped into John who seemed to have abandoned the Brotherhood to set up home with Astral in the apartment that had been their's. He offered Rogue a place to stay with them, not wanting her to return to Magneto but she refused and instead found her own lodgings in the city, taking a job at the re-opened Hellfire Club to make some extra money.
Meeting a man who was also looking for Magneto in the city by the name of Pietro Maximoff, Rogue decided that her best chance of tracking the man down was by setting herself up in the Brotherhood and bringing them to prominence. As it turned out, Pietro was Magneto's son and with him and his twin sister Wanda, Rogue seized control of the Brotherhood again and the members Siryn and Maya that John and Astral had left in an abandoned subway station, well equipted and refurbished into a base by previous occupants.
The station was home for just a short time when it was stormed by agents from the disbanded team UNIT and the MBI. Amongst those in the attack was a friend of Astral's by the name of Eclipse. After a tense stand-off that resulted in her team suffering injuries, Rogue was able to negotiate a retreat and the Brotherhood fled. With her team (not to mention her own wrist) shot up and bloody, they had little choice but to make for John's apartment that served as an emergency hospital. With Dia on the run from the MRA in Canada, they were without a healer and had to make-do with what few medical skills John had. Though he did a good job, Rogue's wrist was destined to scar badly where she had been shot.
Taking up residence with John and Astral was a tense situation that resulted in John and Rogue reflecting on their past relationship. When this was teamed with alcohol, the pair became reckless and left the apartment to visit Dia just south of the border. While they were with their friend however, Sabretooth was trying to find answers from the Brotherhood as to Magneto's whereabouts. Using Astral to try and achieve this goal, the girl was subject to a brutal attack before Pietro could get word to John, Rogue and Dia who rushed back to New York.
With Astral in a bad state, Rogue took the Brotherhood and found a new base in an abandoned fire station that they did up to make workable. Keeping her distance from John, Rogue was even able to go on a successful date with her boss, Fitz Darmonte and seemed to be moving on, even if her feelings for John refused to go away. The relationship barely lasted more than a night however, when she ran into John and the pair kissed. What led on from this night were a manic few days in which John and Astral broke up and he reconciled with Rogue.
Eventually Rogue moved back into the apartment, finding life going well for once as she and John managed not to argue. She had plans for the downfall of prominant anti-mutant politician David Greene, but John objected so they were put on the back burner. While this could have sparked a major arguement for the pair, they continued to go strong. Life was perfectly normal until the post arrived one morning. Tucked in amongst the various bills and junk mail was a small parcel, filled with paparrazzi-style photos of the pair and a locket once belonging to John's mother. Aware they were being followed by someone who knew them very well, the pair became more alert and worried about who exactly was on their tail.
Determined not to let this stalker ruin their life, Rogue and John continued to go on as normal, just being extra-sure to lock the doors and windows at night. It was around this time that they became aware that Astral was dating Eclipse, whom Rogue remembered from the attack on the Brotherhood. An air of unresolved anger hung over Rogue and Astral, especially in the wake of her and Eclipse both getting jobs at Hellfire and having to see them on a regular basis.
The edge of having to work with her rival was removed somewhat by the development in Rogue's relationship with John as he proposed on the same night Rogue had her scar covered with a tattoo. Instantly agreeing to marry him, Rogue did so with a condition that the wedding be a small affair with as few people as possible. Complete in her existence, it was Murphy's Law that things were destined to take a bad turn and that turn came far too quickly for Rogue's liking. When John returned home one night saying he was leaving and that she shouldn't look for him, Rogue knew something was wrong but was unable to stop him going.
For months, she was alone, unsure of where John was but sure he was in trouble. Dying her hair blonde, Rogue adopted the name Anna Smith and took on a job in the offices of David Greene, acting every bit the bimbo to get him to trust her. She uncovered little bits of information suggesting something illegal was going on but remained unable to help John. When he managed to telephone her, saying his father who had long been presumed dead had him as well as Dia and her partner, the Doctor, Rogue knew she had to act. Gathering the Brotherhood, they broke John's father's prisoners free and the pair were reunited.
With John cured and his father still loose, Rogue felt the time to get married was now and she went back on her own condition of the small wedding. Deciding that they should make it a day to look back on fondly, Rogue asked Fitz for financial help and soon found her plans being put into action by his pushy sister Zara. With the ceremony set to take place at the mansion, Rogue found herself desiring the small ceremony when it came to the big day itself. Ironically, luck came in the form of an interuption caused by a search of the mansion conducted by David Greene and the police.
Rogue and John both suffered from the memory loss, waking to find Rogue eight months pregnant. Reuniting with Siryn and Maya, they began to adjust to the idea of being parents and on January 18th, their son Leo was born.
