HISTORY: From Cherokee North Carolina Delaney came to the institute as a teacher shortly after her parents disappearance when she was 21. At the time she had little control over her powers and was a danger to herself and those around her. The same year the school was attacked by Col. William Stryker. The Weapon-X program left Delaney with her DNA manipulated to take on an organic metal laced to her entire skeleton. The Shadow Adamantium as it was called had been harvested from her father and allowed her to still shape shift. During her captivity she learned that Stryker had been the reason for her parents disappearance and that Logan was her mother’s biological father all be it illegitimate. That following year she gained the control she so desperately needed.
The following summer Delaney, Logan and her boyfriend Kurtis Smith traveled back to Alkali Lake to discover that the Weapon X-Program had created a clone of Logan several years earlier. Designated X-23 (the 23rd attempt at a clone) Laura was only 4 years old but appeared to be 15. She has 2 claws in each hand and one claw in each foot. She had been the only survivor of the incident a year earlier and had escaped into the wilderness and a feral state. After much attention she has become a sort of sister to Delaney and is a fully functioning 25 year old woman. However she remains distant and quiet around those she does not trust.
Delaney and Kurtis Smith married in the spring three years later. They have been married for 6 years and have currently been trying to have children.
Delaney remains a teacher and active member of the X-Men.
ANY SERIOUS PHYSICAL OR MENTAL CONDITIONS: Not any longer.
HOBBIES: Drawing traditional tribal tattoo flash, tattooing, taking long walks in the woods, collecting Native American artifacts and collecting swords.
PERSONALITY: Earlier in life Delaney was faced with a great lack of control over her powers. This made her easily angered, untrusting and abrasive. Delaney has since learned to control her abilities by embracing her mutations and in turn has quieted her mind. She remains easily angered, untrusting and abrasive but also reflective and understanding to those students having a harder time with adjusting to their powers.
ANY PETS: No
OTHER: Delaney has extensively studied Ninjitsu, Kenpo and Jetkundo. She is also an excellent marksman with shiroken and knives, a talent inherited from her father.
Delaney is registered with the Department of Mutant Affairs with being one of the few Class 5 mutants in the United States. Class 5 mutants are mutants who's powers grow unexpectedly or rapidly. This has only pertained with her ability to take on new instincts and shifting forms with each new type of animal she encounters. Delaney became registered after the events of M-Day when 90% of the world's mutants lost their powers. The event had been caused by a Class 5 mutant named Wanda Maximoff aka Scarlet Witch. Magneto's daughter.
Students refer to Delaney as Ravenclaw or Miss Blackfeather. She's a teacher, be respectful.
