Strength Level: Kismet possesses the normal human strength of a woman her age, height and build who engages in intensive regular exercise.
Known Superhuman Powers: Super normal coordination and gymnastic ability. Probability alteration (good luck).
Abilities/Special Skills: Kismet has been trained to work in the Thieves Guild with all the skills that suggests. She is also fluent in both the Cajun form of French and English.
Weapons Used: Her primary defense is her ability to alter probabilities in her favor, but when it comes to close, hand-to-hand combat, she prefers using her collapsible bo-staff. On occasion she will us tazers and low-level energy blasters, as well as concussion grenades and smoke capsules - depending on her assignments.

Personality: Kismet is very family oriented, and is usually the voice of reason in her tempestuous/highly dysfunctional clan. She doesn’t play favorites, and never takes sides in family disputes - unless someone, usually her father, is just blatantly out of line. She is the one who points out the obvious causes for ongoing friction, and then leaves everyone else to settle their differences. Her one vice is nicotine, and she is a habitual chain-smoker who sometimes goes through two packs of cigarettes a day.
Personal Interests: Jeanette has a personal affinity for fine wines and priceless artwork. She has amassed a small fortune stealing vintage ports and antique paintings from galleries the world over. Some of the objects she keeps in her secret cache, but for the most part, she then sell the stolen items on the black market.
History: Though only two years older than her brother Trump (Cody), Kismet has kept a watchful eye out for him. As part of the Thieves Guild, she works for a gentleman known only as Essex as part of an agreement to keep the Guild away from her brother. They see his natural abilities of negation as a resource to be exploited. It is not known at this point if this mysterious employer is related to Dr. Nathaniel Essex/Mr. Sinister, but common thought is that he is a genetically altered son of one of the X-Men’s deadliest enemies. Neither of Jeanette’s parents is happy about her involvement with the Guild but have reluctantly learned to accept it.
