Not just your weapon (Laura's Plotter)

Laura "X-23" Kinney

50+ (looks 20) | Combat Teacher | Clone | Mother

X-23, or Laura as she would later be called, didn't grow up in what would be considered an ideal lifestyle. And while she had a mother who tried to help her child retain some form of her humanity, Laura was emotionally stunted from a young age. She wasn't allowed to act in the same manner most children were and, given that any of her advances as a child were denied, how was she expected to really be all that normal? When she speaks, she uses proper english, rarely ever using slang terms or curses to express herself. At times, she seems a bit quiet and, occasionally, she still suffers from depression, though it's not as bad as it used to be. Cutting herself isn't something she does often anymore but old habits can die very hard, especially when you know you can't really kill yourself. She has never learned to properly express her sadness. Hell, most emotions, even though she's slowly coming to terms with them, are still a bit confusing to her and she has a bad habit of trying to distance herself from them.

While occasionally quiet, her low-self esteem has vanished and she's grown to become quite the headstrong woman. She tries to remain calm in any situation she is put into, considering the fact that she is so highly trained. She doesn't want to hurt people but, while she's trying to steer away from it, she occasionally still succumbs to instinct when it comes to occasionally killing.

Laura's social skills still aren't the greatest but she's slowly learning. She can be a bit strict when it comes to her students, wanting the best for them, which can be a bit off putting at times. She's happier than she used to be, and she's slowly starting to try and be the mother she should have been. Albeit twenty one years too late. She doesn't allow people to control her anymore. Though she doesn't always speak her mind, when she does talk to people, she remains honest and a bit blunt. That is, when she actually thinks talking to them is a good idea. She's more likely to talk to her students, trying ti remain a positive role model for them. Interactions with others are something she's working on, doing better and better with it. Considering her checkered, vicious past, though, she wouldn't be surprised if people still didn't trust her. But she doesn't care that much. She knows she's loyal, knows she's changed, and knows she's doing what she can't to be a better person. She's got a long life ahead of her, she knows that. No need for it to be as terrible as the start of it.
[This'll eventually get written proper but, for now, that's her personality in the about her spot xD]

Relationships

Apollo de Costa - This would be her son, somewhat estranged at that. She wasn't really a good mother so she can't blame him for being sketchy about her but she's gonna start putting in the effort what with him being a teacher's aide and herself a teacher at Xavier's.

Fresh Air || Apollo de Costa

Heading up ti the roof for a bit if time to herself, she catches onto the scent of her son, Apollo. But, rather than simply leaving him be and finding somewhere else to relax, she joins him.

Seeing as they're mother and son, and work at the same place, they're bound to run into one another. I'd love to see attempts at family bonding, patching up insecurities between them, and generally causing the kind of mayhem the Howlett family is known for.

Jasper Collins, Jasper Collins
Jasper's a good kid, really, she is. Bright, bubbly, generous - a big gossip, too. She's just a huge fashion hound, and loves to show off - when she even bothers to attend her classes. Showing up to Art and Danger Room sessions is the most she can be bothered to do - and even then, she just likes to show off her powers by scuttling along the walls like the gecko she took her codename from. Laura would certainly have her work cut out for her with Jas!

Laura Kinney && Apollo de Costa
I would very much love for them to attempt at sime family bonding, honestly. Possibly involving the danger room (let's be honest, it wouldn't be that surprising) or some sort of trip that she takes them on i.to the city that held gopd intentions but will probably go horribly wrong in the end xD and, since he's a teacher's aide, there is also always the possibility of her trying to get him to help her with one of her language classes or something xD

Laura Kinney && Jasper Collins
Laura is gonna end up yelling at her for her constantly showing off. I'm sure she would even try to discipline her for it. Of course, she probably won't be allowed to give her detention or anything, but she'll figure out something xD you're right, though. She really will have her work cut out for her with Jas.
