Ororo Munroe

Storyline
Ororo is the descendant of an ancient line of african priestesses, all of whom have white hair and blue eyes, as well as the potential to wield magic. Her mother N’Daré was the priestess of a trive in Kenya, who married an american photojournalist, David Munroe. They moved to Manhattan, where Ororo was born.

At six months old, her parents moved the family to Cairo, Egypt. But at the age of five, a plane crashed into their home, killing her parents. Ororo was trapped for several hours under rubble with her mother’s corpse. This event left Ororo with a severe claustrophobia disorder. She managed to escape with only the clothes on her back and her mother’s ancestral ruby. Orphaned and without a place to call home, she was found by a street gang and was trained in pickpocketry and thievery. She found herself picking the pockets of an american tourist once, that man was Charles Xavier. Recognising her as a mutant from her brainwaves and realizing her situation was deplorable, her offered her a place in the academy he was building at the time.
