Cannon or your own: Mine…. Again…..

Civilian Identity: Tamaya Shikoba

Super Hero or Villain Name: Hotwire

Hero or Villain: Hero (( X-Student))

Gender: Female

Apparent age: 16

Age: 16

Hair: Black, cut in a page-boy style and generally slicked back. When not slicked back it tends to curl around the ears.

Eyes: Brown

Height and weight: 5'6 130 Lbs

Appearance: Three inch, slightly curvy horns that sprout just above her hairline. Small black scales along her cheekbones. Only slightly elongated canine teeth. She has a three and a half foot long foot prehensile tail covered in short black fur. Naturally Tanned skin, as she is half Cherokee and half Hispanic. Well muscled, but lean. Generally dressed like a tomboy or punk. Her favored out fit would be her baggy, hip hugging camo cargo pants and a black tank top.

She has three tattoos, two of which are horizontal black lines circling her left bicep. The lines are about an inch wide, and about an inch and a half apart. The third tattoo is just below the small of her back, resting at the base of her spine. It is an eagle spreading it's wings.

Super Powers and Abilities:

Metal manipulation= Ability to control metal. She can soften, melt, or form metal into any shape she wishes.

I.E. She could melt a bullet before it reaches her, or cause it to suddenly become much heavier and drop to the ground.

Mutations: Her tail is prehensile, like a monkey's so she can use it as a fifth limb to a limited extent. The rest of her mutations are mostly self-explanatory.

Weaknesses: Inability to control her gift to a certain point. She must always wear gloves, because if she touches anything with her bare hands then her powers will manifest themselves in a random and generally unfortunate way. Most of the time thing that is in contact with that hand will be coated in a fine lair of metal.

She needs to have metal in the area to manipulate it.

Personality: She's a bit of a loner, and very tough. She has a tendency to curse in a unique mixture of Spanish, English and Cherokee. Being a mechanic she can't be kept away from the cars. There's a wee bit of a temper on her, and it takes a bit to get through her tough skin to find that she really is a loyal friend. Seriously. Really loyal.

Background: Tamaya grew up as the middle child of seven. Her parents lived right next to the New Mexico- Mexico border and were very poor. She was the middle child and thus was often over looked by her parents. Because of this she would often trek across the city she lived in to spend time with her grandfather. Her grandfather was a medicine man and she would help him around the house with the chores he could no longer do in exchange for the stories he would tell her and the small lessons in medicinal lore he would give.

About the time she became seven her mutations started to manifest. Her grandfather was away on a trip and the terrified girl did her best to hide her growing changes. She was frightened to go to her parents with her problem, and thus began wearing baggy pants to hide her tail and baseball caps to hide her growing horns.

When her grandfather arrived back home she went to him immediately. Her grandfather was equally horrified by her mutations, but loved her nonetheless and did his best to help her hide her secret. She ended up moving in with him at the acceptance of her parents.

Young Tamaya's mutations only grew from that point on and grew harder and harder to disguise. She discovered her gift/curse with metal one day while tending her grandfather's plants. She touched a flower that had always been her favorite. Metal spilt from the ground and coated the fragile plant in a perfect covering.

Again horrified, Tamaya took the flower to her grandfather. They experimented some and found that simple cloth gloves would keep her power from manifesting on it's own.

A few years later, at the age of thirteen, the mother of a good friend of Tamaya's fell desperately ill. The family needed money to pay for an expensive operation but had none. The friend, knowing about Tamaya's "gift" came to her in the hopes that she could help. Tamaya, a fiercely loyal girl, took matters into her own hands and devised a plan to get her friend that money.

Tamaya trekked again to the richer side of the city and used her powers to steal a car. She took a pocketful of change, targeted a car and used the metal from the change to create a key to the car. Once inside she manipulated the ignition of the car into starting and drove away.

She would have gotten away with the car most likely, if she hadn't been pulled over by the cops and asked for her license, which she did not have. Her grandfather managed to get her out of the dangerous situation with a great deal of difficulty and took her home.

She did manage to get the money for her friend, finding that she could cause silver and gold to rise from the ground of their own violation. Her friend's mother got the operation and soon afterward her grandfather sent her to Xavier's school.
