Full Name: Aya Lynn Germain

Mutant Alias: Cosmos

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Asexual, Hetero

In Depth Description of Appearance:
Small and lithe, Aya's 5' build betrays none of her strength – she has years' worth of lean muscle hidden under her clothes, built up from doing judo. Her long hair falls down her back, straight and dark brown. She's never been one for doing much with it. Aside from the occasional ponytail or braid, she's content to just let it rest where it falls. Her eyes are a deep brown color, and fairly weak. She's supposed to wear glasses, but she often finds them too much of a hassle to put on, and dislikes the idea of contacts. Her clothing style is simple, but not without its edgy touches; she enjoys the occasional dress and biker jacket, or heavy boots, and has multiple piercings on her ears. She leans more towards earthy colors, like greens, blues, browns, and blacks.

Personality:
Aya is a girl of simple pleasures; give her a good book, some music to listen to, and she'll be content to hang out in bed all day, oblivious to the rest of the world. Though very clever and sweet, she's not the best at making friends or opening up to people. Years of hiding her mutation from those around her have made her slow to trust and constantly afraid of rejection. Because of this, she's always eager to please, even if it means compromising who she is and how she presents herself. Once you actually get her to open up though, you'll find a playful and genuine girl, with a penchant for mischief and a low tolerance level for narrow-mindedness.

Mutation: Astral Projection
Aya is capable of extending her consciousness outside of her body. Invisible to others, her spirit form is capable of passing through solid objects or going into dangerous situations or environments that she otherwise would avoid. She can also create projections of other people if she's touching them.
Strengths: Aya can keep up her projection indefinitely, and can hear and see everything around her, making her ideal for reconnaissance missions. So long as she keeps up her concentration, she can also sustain the projection up to half a mile from her physical location.
Weaknesses: When maintaining her projection, her physical body is more or less helpless. She's still conscious, and can talk to others, but it's difficult for her to move, and she is more or less oblivious to her surroundings. Due to her projection's intangible nature, she's also unable to influence her spiritual environment or talk to anyone through it. 

Fears:
Aya has a deep-seeded fear of rejection, and by extension, any form of intimacy. She's also afraid of thunder storms, and loud noises in general (she scares easily)

History:
Aya discovered her abilities at a relatively young age. The professor showed up on her doorstep shortly after (which was surprising to say the least, since she lived all the way in Hawaii) and the meeting with her single mom didn't go… well. Ms. Germain was fairly prejudiced against mutants and outraged when the professor suggested that Aya was one of them. Furious, Ms. Germain turned to little Aya and asked if what the professor said was true… and Aya denied it. With a sad look in his eyes, Professor X apologized to Ms. Germain for the intrusion and left their home – but not without discretely giving Aya his card first. 
Life went on as usual for her after that. She went to school and eventually got a part-time job, all the while keeping her abilities a secret from everyone around her. That is, until one day. When Aya was 18, she and her mother got into a monstrous fight about the mutants they had seen on the news, and Ms. Germain's prejudices. Because Aya was untrained and didn't yet have proper control over her powers, when her mother grabbed her shoulder (Aya had been attempting to walk away from the argument, and Ms. Germain simply wasn't having it) Aya accidentally pulled her mother into the astral plane with her. She was horrified. Her mother was outraged because not only was her daughter a mutant, but Aya had kept it from her all these years. Whatever hope of calming down was lost after that. The fight only became more visceral, and it ended with Aya packing her bags that night and booking a flight to the mainland, remembering the professor's invitation. 
She's been at the academy ever since.
