Her mother enrolled her in gymnastics classes when she was three years old because she was always running and tumbling around and her mother figured it'd keep her from getting hurt too much. Soon it was realized that Maera had a gift for the sport. Maera's mutant powers manifested when she was 15. Her family was very supportive, especially her brother, who developed powers two years later. When she went to college to get a degree in physical education using gymnastics, she met some other mutants, some not as obvious as she, some more so. During Maera's second year at college her mother was killed by members of the Brotherhood because she was a physicist who refused to help them with one of their plans. Maera had just finished her second year of teaching at a private girls' school when she was approached by Professor Charles Xavier. He offered her a job at his school and the oportunity to fight against those who had killed her mother as well as lessons in developing control over her gift, which she had gained in part over the years, usually by trial and error. Maera accepted the offer. Mutant Power: Emerald possesses the ability to affect the earth in just about any way she chooses. So far she has been able to move trees and plants to any other spot within line-of-sight that she wishes, to make plants speed-grown and wrap themselves around enemies, and open holes in the earth and cover them back up with a thought. The earth she stands on will raise to bring her above an attacker's reach, although she has to know about the attack first. { Home }{ Updates }{ Archive }{ Characters }{ Gallery }{ Other } The Golden Nox is part of The Ethereal's Den & Dungeon message forum.
