Heidi a hurlé que Shawn partait pour le déjeuner. "Voyez à l'entraînement," elle a appelé après lui. Une fois qu'il était hors de la vue et des oreilles, elle s'est cognée à elle-même. Pour être trop occupé à parler de ne pas voir où vous étiez. C'était ce genre d'attention claire dont Heidi était en fait légèrement jaloux. D'habitude, tout était clair pour elle, mais quand l'interaction sociale a eu lieu, tout est soudain devenu un désordre compliqué. Mais aujourd'hui, ça s'est très bien passé. Elle s'est peut-être fait des amis!
Elle s'est dirigée vers sa chambre. L'entraînement était suivi, ce qui signifiait un effort physique et un risque de blessure. Bien sûr, peu importe à quel point Heidi s'était exercée, elle n'avait jamais été blessée à la suite de cela. Quelques contusions infligées par d'autres, mais c'était à peu près l'étendue de celle-ci. Elle a enlevé son épais cardigan, sous lequel elle portait un gilet blanc, parce qu'elle savait aujourd'hui que c'était le jour de l'entraînement. Elle a commencé ses étirements en échauffant ses jambes, elle a commencé ses différents reps, squats, assis-ups et une planche de deux minutes. Puis elle s'est déplacée sur ses bras, poussoirs, pull-ups sur la barre verticale que sa chambre avait installée, et a terminé tout cela avec plus d'étirements de bras. 'Ça devrait faire jusqu'à ma séance de gym demain', pensa-t-elle.
Elle a pris le cardigan, puis s'est regardée dans le miroir. Elle était maigre pour une fille de son âge et de sa taille. Pas tout à fait «musculaire», mais bien plus proche que ce qui était typique. C'est pour ça qu'elle aimait porter des vêtements lâches. Elle ne voulait pas faire quelque chose de plus inhabituel que la normale. Elle a également noté que ses cheveux étaient déshabillés et que la sueur avait un peu usé son maquillage. Elle a regardé l'horloge. Elle avait encore le temps de le réparer si elle était rapide.

Heidi, cardigan de retour et maquillage réappliqué, a fait son chemin vers la salle de danger.
Name: Heidi Williams
Alias: Prodigy
Position: Post-Doctorate level of education
Abilities/powers: Heidi possesses an incredibly hyper-intelligent mind, which gives her a perfect photographic memory and the ability to think and react far faster than a human should be capable of. She can often accurately process every possible outcome of a theoretical scenario using her knowledge of psychology (how a human or animal may act) and physics (how an object may act) to, in a sense, predict the immediate future.
The downside to this is that all her senses are in overdrive 24/7, and she can overthink the most basic of social interactions to the point where she copes by drowning her audio-visual senses with music and books, and by and large avoids social contact except when necessary.
Sex: Female
Age/Date of Birth: 15, 8/4/1984
Additional Appearance/costume: Prodigy's costume is simply a customised jumpsuit, altered to her measurements and dyed with turquoise and gold diagonal stripes. Om her right hand is a gauntlet that utilises similar technology to Tony Stark's Iron Man suit. Her own invention, of course.
Personality: Heidi is shy, reclusive and incredibly timid, but not unfriendly. Due to both her past, and the nature of her mutation, she is incredibly conscious of what other people think of her, both as a result of her direct actions during interactions, or just her reputation in general.
Heidi was raised to believe in mutant registration, a stance which she thoroughly believes in and defends to this day as the best path for everybody. She is also a believer that both body and mind should be used at their full potential, so will quietly judge people who slack off or abuse their bodies.
Special Skills: Heidi has Doctorates in physics, maths, psychology and electrical engineering, but her area of particular expertise is robotics. She also studies mixed martial arts, self defence, usage of firearms and runs as a hobby in order to keep her body in good condition should the need to run arise.
Place of birth: Edinburgh, Scotland
Weapon(s) of choice: Only her brain
Medical information: Hypersensitivity, social anxiety
Brief History: Heidi was brought up in a family who strongly believed in mutant registration, a view which she shared and still does to this day, but when her mutations began to manifest, her family and those in their circle suddenly branded her as dangerous and shunned her whole family. She was constantly aware that she was resented as long as she stayed there.
So she travelled to America. Unlike others who shared her views, she thought Xavier's school was a wonderful institute and was not some threat to the world. In fact, she believed that mutant registration, followed by a worldwide drive to make more schools like Xavier's, that taught young mutants how to control and accept their powers, was the future. Unfortunately she could find no allies with this philosophy. Any other pro-reg crowds either shunned her for being a mutant, or being sympathetic to untrained mutants who could accidentally cause death or destruction, whereas any other independent crowds of mutants shunned her for her pro-reg views, or her age, as all of this occurred before her 12th birthday.
She was eventually found and contacted by Xavier's school itself, and finally found a place she wasn't shunned.
Relatives: Her disgraced scottish pro-reg parents, though the X-men are her only family now.
