A high-school junior, Jean is a vibrant redhead -- very beautiful and very
popular. She's the only one from the Xavier Institute who is not regarded as
a little weird at Bayville High.
Jean has a sibling relationship with Scott Summers, and likes to push his
buttons. Knowing that Scott might have a slight crush on her she is
not above using other people to make Scott jealous.
Although Scott and Jean are in different grades, they have many classes
together -- as is the case in high school. Since they are always budding
around together, people perceive them as a couple. This will lead to Scott
getting razzed and hassled by jealous football players, and other such high
school situations.
Because Jean is a cheerleader, she gets to hang out with the other
cheerleaders and jocks. And although Scott wouldn't be excluded from such
activities, he would keep the perspective that their duties at the Xavier
Institute always need to take precedence over, say, going out with other
kids. Jean will need to learn this lesson, since she will be pulled in two
directions at once.
Jean grew up in Connecticut, in an utterly normal upper-middle-class family.
She has a non-mutant sister, and her parents are still alive and happily
married. Jean is a telekinetic (TK), enabling her to move objects merely by
thinking about it. At first, weight will be a real issue with her -- and she
starts out only able to move what she can actually lift with her arms.
Jean has latent telepathic (TP) abilities. Professor X, the world's greatest
telepath, will train her to use and refine these powers. However, telepathic
abilities are hardly a blessing -- especially in high school! When her TP
powers first manifest, Jean will first overhear exactly the last things
she'd want to -- especially about herself!
An additional drawback to TP is that some of the things you hear are true,
and some of the things may actually be misperceptions, or even outright lies
planted into other people's heads.
