Mirella Loxely

Mirella Loxely is a student at the Xavier School for the Gifted and a member of the Gen X class.

History
Mirella mostly keeps her background to herself, claiming that only the present matters. She had a relatively normal upbringing in Manhattan. Eventually her powers manifested, resulting in her hair turning green, causing her parents to question her and attempt to color it back to normal, assuming her to be a normal, rebellious teenager. After discovering that it couldn't be changed, Mirella and her parents were confused until they were contacted by Charles Xavier and the X-Men.

Powers

 * Illusion Generation/Manipulation: Mirella can create, shape, and manipulate convincing illusions, causing her target to see, taste, feel, and hear things that may not actually exist, and to perceive things as she wants them to. She can create decoys, cause people, places, or objects to turn invisible,
 * For an unknown reason, when Mirella's powers first manifested, they turned her hair green. Her hair color can not be changed by normal means (coloring or dying it) as the color will immediately turn the same shade of green.
 * Illusion Sense: Mirella can tell when things are being generated as an illusion. However, Lady Mastermind uses Telepathic Illusions to override her target's senses, this would eclipse Mirella's abilities and she would accept them as fact.
 * Astral Projection: By entering a trance-like state, Mirella can project her spirit physically into another location. She can enter the astral plane or enter real world locations this way.

Abilities

 * Acting: Mirella enjoys acting.
 * Fighting and Strength: While Mirella isn't overly skilled or exceptionally strong, she can use her powers to trick her opponents into thinking she is as their mind will be convinced she is doing things she's not. This means she could just be standing there while her opponent sees her fighting them Black Widow style or lifting a car to throw at them. In theory, she could give off the illusion that she possesses any skill.

Weaknesses

 * Telepathy: Telepaths, especially powerful ones like Emma Frost, Lady Mastermind, Phoenix, or Charles Xavier, will see right through her illusions.
 * Physical Attacks: If she were caught off guard while casting an illusion (via a sneak attack or ranged attack) she would be defenseless.

Trivia
