Amanda Weinrich

[Amanda Weinrich]

Name: Amanda Weinrich
Codename: Snake Eyes
Age: 28
Hometown: Taos, New Mexico, USA
Professor of Mutant Studies at Xavier's University.

Power: Amanda has some very noticeable physical mutations, but no powers beyond a slightly heightend sense of smell and a increased sensitivity to cold. As far as anyone knows. What she doesn't talk about is her ability to turn into a massive, acid dripping tentacle beast.

Non-mutant abilities: Knitting, speaks fluent Spanish.

Physical Description: Were it not for her scales, and the dark pigmentation around her eyes, Amanda would be wholly unremarkable in terms of appearance. The scales cover much of her arms and torso and run in a line down the outside of her legs. Otherwise she is 5'2", medium build with brown hair and brown eyes, and looks a bit younger than her actual age. Because of this, she tends to dress conservatively and professionally when she is teaching, so as not to be mistaken for a student. When she is 'off duty" she tends to favor jeans and t-shirts, or sweaters, depending on the weather.

Personality: Amanda is friendly, but can seem a bit shy around people she doesn't know. Once you get to know her, she has a subtle, sarcastic sense of humor, and is quick to defend her friends and loved ones.

Background; Amanda was born in and raised in Taos, New Mexico. When she was born with an obvious physical mutation, her parents rearranged things so that her mother could work at home, not because they were ashamed of her, but because they wanted her to have a supportive environment. To help this along, they moved to the Greater World Community subdivision, hoping to find a accepting environment for their obviously mutant daughter. The ex-hippies and environmentalists were, for the most part, welcoming and accepting of Amanda and the two mutant siblings that followed her, although her parents did choose to homeschool all of the children. She studied anthropology at the University of New Mexico, and then got her Phd. at Columbia, in the spring of 2021. Her dissertation was on Morlock social structures. After graduation, she applied to the Mutant Studies department and was thrilled to get a job. The ink still wet on her diploma, she packed her up and headed for London.

At XU: Nothing. Amanda just got here.

Retcons: Basically everything, Amanda is new here.
