Magik

Illyana Rasputin is a young teenage student over at Xavier's institute, and is from Siberia. She has a somewhat cold, haughty personality. She is the younger sister of Colossus.

Magik is the current heir and ruler of one of the numerous demonic sub-realms called Limbo.

Background
Born the youngest of the Rasputin family on the Ust-Ordynski Collective Farm in Siberia, Illyana grew up on the farm and got used to life cut off from most of society in the modern world. On the farm, everything was shared. Her eldest brother Mikhail seemingly died when she was young, and she was left with her fiercely and overly protective older brother to take care of her. Illyana grew up helping on the farm and with a loving family, despite the circumstances.

She was aware of her brother's secret, being a mutant, and her life was saved by him when Piotr saved her from a runway tractor on the day he was recruited by the X-Men. So she was the last child of her family on the farm, now having to grow up alone. Given the penchant for mutant abilities running in the family, Illyana was watched from afar by the Oktober Guard - the equivalent of the Avengers of Russia.

Growing up further alone as a young girl, Illyana was mostly left to her own devices on the communal farm with few friends. Around the time when Piotr was traveling to England to join Excalibur on mystical adventures, Illyana's mutant powers began to manifest. The girl began to experiment with magic and her stepping disks, using them to wander the tundra, all the while under the eyes of the Oktober Guard and further afield the demons S'ym and Belasco whom wished to use the girl's domain to-be of Limbo as their personal realm.

Around the time when Piotr returned to the X-Men and Xavier's Institute, S'Ym and Belasco struck, intent on kidnapping the girl who was caught up in a fight between the pair, the demons of Limbo, and the Oktober Guard. The girl spent some brief time in Limbo, and became aware of her heritage. During the melee, Illyana was able to manifest her Soulsword - the weapon that gave her claim to the realm. S'Ym and Belasco retreated, and Illyana settled into an unfamiliar routine. Joining Xavier's shortly before the Crisis, she was incapacitated by magical aftershocks during the Labyrinth.

In the period since, Illyana is a young member of the student body, haphazardly learning how to control her powers and get what tutlage she can in her magic. Given the scarcity of knowledge of both, it is slow going. She has made a few friends at the Institute, and is particularly close with Kitty among others, but few have earned her trust and shyness, and she is still closest to her big, overprotective bear of a brother.

Personality

 * Arrogant: She might only be a bit of a teenager, but Illyana is almost defiantly sure of herself. Via a combination of ego, sureness, and pride, she tends to leap into things without thinking and is almost always sure of herself. She is more reserved when she is with friends and those that she trusts, but the girl is prone to acting without thinking when in a fight or with others. She can come across almost as having a chip on her shoulders sometime, and it can make it tricky to get along with her.


 * Playful: Ruler of the Limbo Dimension, wicked kid, and.. Playful? Known to take other students over to her pocket dimension to have slumber parties and pillow fights, to summon goblins for pranks, with her friends and her brother Illyana is particularly playful and loves to join in games. One can tell how much the teenage girl is open with someone by the number of jokes she tries to play when she's around them.


 * Focused: Illyana is focused. She has to be to survive. Whether it is fending off adversaries tryin to take over Limbo, protecting her big brother, or just learning English, Illyana has learned that nothing in life comes without struggle and sacrifice. So she has to work extra hard at it and cannot let herself get distracted. This gives her at times, particularly when caught up, a particularly dour outlook that only her friends can break her out of.


 * Girly: To your doom, you will find out that Illyana has moments of being a girly girl. She loves fashion, collecting her books and her toys, and enjoys spending large amounts of time getting her hair perfect. She is every bit the potential teenage diva adn queen that every other girl has the potential to be. And she secretly enjoys it very much and it is what keeps her sane with everything else going on in her life - to have something to distract herself with.
