(Khan's Slot 4/6) Chloe Grant

[Chloe Grant]

Name: Chloe Grant
Codename: Galah
Hometown: London, England
Age: 20
Student at XU

Power: Chloe can shift into a very attractive pink and grey cockatoo. She can now shift smoothly from human to cockatoo form, and retains human level intelligence when she is shifted. She is also capable of speech in cockatoo form, although her vocalizations are limited to the normal cockatoo range, and may be hard to understand for people who are not used to speaking to her. She's also, recently, discovered that she can shapeshift into a deinonychus, although its taking her a bit longer to come to terms with that new shape. It helps that her dinosaur form has the same attractive plumage.

Non-mutant abilities: She's a typical teenage girl.

Physical Description: 5'3" and weighs 115 pounds with blond hair and brown eyes when she is in human form. In cockatoo form, she is a 14 inches long, including her tail and weighs just under a pound. Her wings and back are grey, with a pink belly, head and crest. She has similar coloring on her plumage when she is shifted into 150 pounds of prehistoric fury.

Personality: Chloe is a hardworking, focused and somewhat socially awkward girl. She does well academically and in high stress situations, but she sometimes has trouble relating to people her own age, especially in social situations.

Background: Chloe was born in Australia, but moved back to London with her mother, a wedding dress designer, after her parents divorced when she was an infant. Chloe had a comfortable, secure childhood. For the first few years it was just her and her mother, but when she was 7 her mother remarried and had another daughter. After a period of adjustment, Chloe became quite attached to her step-father and new sibling. Her life was fairly ordinary-family vacations, friends, school and tennis lessons taking up most of her time until she turned 14, and while on holiday with her family started sprouting feathers. Her parents were able to find a private shapeshifting tutor, and she was able to learn to control her powers. When the time came for her to start university, she decided to apply to XU, excited about the prospect of being at a school with a lot of other mutants (who she might be able to relate to better) and at the chance to be on a X-team.

At XU: Chloe joined the X-teams, and went on a number of exciting missions. She also dated, and then broke up with, Simon Kipling. And she learned to shift into a dinosaur.

Retcons: Jess? Lucy? Never heard of them. Chloe's sister is named Gemma, and is twelve.
