Code Name: Minx
Real Name: Cali Victoria Creed.
Nicknames: Kitten (although Sabretooth's the only one who gets away with using this nickname).
Occupations: Student. (Cali attends an expensive private school in a Feral commune In Canada).
Legal Status: Minx has no criminal record in the United States. She is, however, wanted for a strain of brutal slayings in her hometown in Japan.
Identity: Sabretooth has made every effort to keep Cali’s identity out of public knowledge, for her own safety.
Aliases: None
Place of birth: Japan
Age: 16
Marital Status: Single
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Known Relatives: Victor Creeed AKA Sabretooth (father). Yukio (mother), Damien Creed AKA Rage (half brother). Anna-Marie Creed AKA Vixen Blue (half sister). Riley Creed (half brother).
Group Affiliation: None
Base of Operations: The Creed Estates, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
First Appearance: Minx has not yet made an official appearance in NXU.
Origin: Minx is a mutant and was born with her powers.
Height: 5 foot 5 inches
Weight: 127lbs (9 stones and 1 pound).
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Black with naturally blonde bangs. Straight and bobbed.
Distinguishing Marks: Cali has various attributes typical of a Feral, which make her rather odd in appearance to average passers-by. She has claw-tipped hands and feet, pointed ears, and elongated, rather sharp canines. Also, Minx’s blue eyes are like a cat’s. Her pupils dilate into slits.
Strength Level: Minx possesses the normal strength of a human her age who engages in intensive regular exercise.
Known Superhuman Powers: Minx has Feline Theriomorphic capabilities. She is a shifter, able to physically morph herself into a 'werelioness' at whim. Due to her feline feral mutation, Minx has advanced senses and agility, as well as a set of retractable claws and sharp feline-esque teeth, both of which are strong enough to splice through substances as hard as bone. Minx also has the ability to project a strong psychic link between herself and other felines and individuals of Feral nature. Within this link, she can physically and mentally control her host's body as if it were her own. Such a link to another living being proves harmless to both involved as the mental host's own consciousness lies dormant until Minx chooses to break her psychic link.
Abilities/Special Skills: From the moment Sabretooth manned custody of his daughter, he went to work training the girl, as a Feral, a fighter, and a lethal, self-assured young woman in general. As such, she’s highly apt in hand-to-hand combat, and continues to broaden her knowledge of self-defense and defiance of conventional authority. She has a rather keen knack for taking full advantage of her father’s wealth as well - manning his credit cards an the nearest given shopping mall whenever the opportunity arises.
Weapons Used: Minx is rather talented with and occasionally sports a Japanese broadsword. Beyond that, as do most Ferals, she prefers to use her built-in weapons: claws, fangs and instinct.
Personality: Minx is a fiery teenager - very spunky, with quick whit, a sharp tongue and quite often, a rather bad attitude to match. Just as much, she’s a rather sly and calculated young woman, and, it seems, the older she gets, the more her cleverness manages to overpower her brash, try-and-do-anything-at-the-drop-of-a-hat sensibility. Despite her lineage, and quite a rough start as a mutant and a Feral, she’s shaping up to be a rather sturdy, independent young woman as a whole.
Personal Interests: Shopping. Friends. Parties. Boys. Minx is a teenager to the umpteenth degree and revels in the fact. Her social life is made a bit odd by her father’s choice in atmosphere - he’s placed her in a small, remote, all-Feral school, and has outright threatened to kill any male she brings home who isn’t a Feral. This makes dating a bit of a challenge, needless to say, but she gets on quite well regardless. (And yes, actually, for the record, Sabretooth did string the one non-feral date she brought home across the front lawn. Their front lawn is a couple of acres in diameter. You do the math.) Cali is athletic. She loves to roller blade, hike, hunt. She also plays a mean game of pool - often, to Damien Creed’s chagrin, absolutely pounding her big brother at nine-ball.
History:
Cali was born as the result of a tumultuous but brief love affair between Sabretooth and Yukio. She was raised by her mother entirely unaware of her father's existence, not to mention that of the rest of her family. Neither was she aware of the fact that she had a tremendously large chance of inheriting her father's mutant abilities. Yukio had fled from her home in Japan with the knowledge of her pregnancy, raising both Cali and Wolverine's foster daughter Amiko for years with the assistance with a few close friends whom were involved with the Japanese sanction of the Knox. At age 10, Minx's Mutant abilities surfaced in a tragic fit, and the death of several townspeople close to her and her family came as a result. Cali was arrested by local authorities and put into containment soon after, a death sentence soon pitted over her head. Through this, Yukio and Amiko went into hiding with Yukio’s Knox friends, through whom Toad was notified of Cali's existence and predicament. Toad soon contacted Sabretooth, and He, Sabes and Victor's eldest son Rage put Minx's kidnapping, capture and freedom from the government facility in which she was being held into play. Initially, Minx was terrified by her newfound 'knights in shining armor' and fled back to Yukio and Mariko. Yukio, however, eventually decided it best for Minx to be traded over to her father's custody, for the girl was entirely distraught, terrified and unable to handle her newly surfaced powers as a Feral. Yukio hoped that Sabretooth would have the ability to help the girl to learn how control the powers she so terribly feared.
