Personality: Storm is usually known as the peacemaker of the group and she is very patient with the others. She is an incredible mentor for the students and a good example for the younger X-men, her personality and emotions affect the weather if they're strong/overpowering
History: Storm is the descendant of an ancient line of African priestesses, all of whom have white hair, blue eyes, and the potential to wield magic. Her mother, N'Dare, was the princess of a tribe in Kenya. She married the American photojournalist David Munroe and moved with him to Manhattan, where Ororo was born.
When Ororo was six months old, she and her parents moved to Cairo, Egypt. Five years later, a bomb destroyed their home. Ororo's parents were killed, but she survived, buried under rubble near her mother's body. This traumatizing effect left Ororo with the severe claustrophobia that still afflicts her today.
Homeless and orphaned, Ororo, came under the tutelage of master thief Achmed el-Gibar. She became his prize pupil in thievery and in picking locks.
Years later, feeling a strong urge to go south, Ororo journeyed alone across the Sahara Desert and finally reached her ancestors' homeland, the Serengeti Plain, which lies in the modern nations of Kenya and Tanzania. By this time her mutant power to control the weather had emerged, and she used them to help the local tribes, who worshipped her as a goddess.
Soon after that, she was discovered by Professor Charles Xavier and recruited by him to join him at the Insititute. Her emotions were the thing that controlled the weather and environment around her at first, but she trained her powers with her fellow X-men in the Danger Room and honed her skills with Professor X and soon became one of his prized pupils.
She was one of Jean's best friends, thus the death of her affected her greatly. She is currently a teacher and mentor for the students and a faithful servant alongside her friends in the X-men.
Sample RP: Storm opened the glass doors of her room and stepped out onto the balcony, her high-heels clicking across the marble deck. She sighed as she looked up at the cloudy, gray sky. Sprinkles of rain slowly began to fall and she ran her hands through her short hair.
How was everyone else so calm about it? The death of her best friend and nobody, save the Professor, Scott, and Logan were even concerned. Nightcrawler went out of his way to be nice to her, but other than that, she couldn't really share her feelings with anyone unless they shared their feelings with her. But what if they had no feelings to share with her? No feelings about the death of Jean Grey. She sighed again and turned on her heels, hearing a knock on her door.
She walked back into the room, closing the doors and opening her front bedroom doors to face Rogue. "Hey...Bobby, Kitty, and I were plannin' on going to the Danger Room for a little practice session... wanna come?" she asked in her gentle southern accent. Ororo forced a weak smile, but shook her head. "No thank you..." with that she closed the door. She forced away tears, flashing back to the last time she saw her, the last moment of when Jean saved their lives. She sat on the bed and rested her head in her hands. It was going to be a long day...
