Heidi avait remarqué que la ""conversation""" entre elle et le nouveau gamin avait fini. Est-ce qu'elle devrait essayer de le ranimer? Il semblait bien s'engager avec ce plan de farce. Est-ce qu'elle devrait se joindre à elle aussi? Non, non, elle n'allait pas se mettre à ce niveau pour une amie qu'elle pourrait même ne pas garder au cours de la journée avec ses compétences sociales. En outre, il y aura d'autres chances, d'autres opportunités.
Quand son nom a été appelé, et qu'on lui a demandé de calculer les chances que cette farce fonctionne réellement, elle a mentalement roulé les yeux et puis, avec une pause si brève qu'on peut aussi bien lui demander ce qui était sur plus un, elle a répondu d'une voix tranquille du manque de pratique mais juste assez fort pour que la classe entende.
"Entre 68 et 86 pour cent, selon son imagination et sa crédulité."
Elle n'avait même pas levé les yeux.
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.
