Phoenix II

Rachel Summers is currently an unknown, the general public has no idea that Rachel is from the future or is the daughter of the X-Men Cyclops and Marvel Girl.

Background

 * Born in the future, the daughter of the X-Men Scott Summers and Jean Grey.


 * Raised at the Xavier School, her powers manifested early and she was trained from nearly an infant.


 * Rachel joins the New Mutants team and trains under the leadership of Franklin Richards.

* The government attacks the Xavier School and only Rachel survives.


 * Captured, she is brainwashed and turned into the prototype hound: a mutant hunter-killer.


 * Rachel spends years fulfilling the houndmaster's wishes, using her powers to track down mutants and being forced to telepathically live through their deaths.


 * Rebelling, Rachel escapes and is recaptured and sentenced to a concentration camp.


 * Reunited with the surviving X-Men, she helps Kate Pryde's mind to leap to the past and find the key incident that turned their world into hell.


 * The X-Men escape and stage one last desperate assault on the Sentinels and only Kate and Rachel survive.


 * Kate leads Rachel in an attack against the processing plant where a new-generation Sentinel is being manufactured. In the ensuing explosion, Rachel's astral temporal travel ability is supercharged and she's physically flung into the past, the power burning itself out on the way.


 * Rachel wakes up in the past, her memory shattered, but knowing only that something bad is about to happen and she has to stop it.

Personality
Stubborn

Rachel's a stubborn sort of person. She has a hard time giving up old grudges or giving ground on a closely-held opinion. The up side is that she has a very strong will and can hold out against pressure to get her to prematurely change her mind or even to succumb to someone else's rhetoric.

Hound

Rachel was a hound, and this flavors everything about her. She hates that she was turned into a hound and that she had been used to track and kill mutants in her dystopian future timeline. She's also cultivated an air of aloofness around her because of it, not wanting to get too close to anyone she doesn't already know because she fears if she were ever forced to do that sort of thing again.

Holocaust Survivor

Rachel had lived for some time in a concentration camp, with no powers. She understands just as much as the Jews or Romany or others who had survived the Nazi camps exactly what it was like. While she tries to integrate in this time's behavior patterns, none of them really understand her or what she went through.

Fiercely Loyal

Rachel is fiercely loyal to those she calls friends. She will stand up for them and even attack someone who seems to be acting against her friends. She will fight for them even to her own death, without question or reservation.

Heroine

Despite her failures and faults, Rachel is a heroine, albeit a flawed one. She believes in Xavier's dream, but is more willing to take extreme measures to get things done. She's more aware of the reality of the world and the fact that she still has a long ways to go before she can say she's done good as well as her mother did.

Impulsive

Rachel's an impulsive creature. Tactics and finesse aren't her strong points. She generally doesn't think too far ahead in a fight or an argument, letting herself be ruled by her emotions instead of ruling them herself.
