Solstice Banks has never known a family that was bred to love her.
Homeless at the age of 10, alone at the age of 12, and told her whole life that she was a sin with a girl wrapped around it, she knows what it's like to be unloved.
So she decides to be strong.
She keeps the homeless men away by coming up with cigarettes and booze to distract them. She keeps the questioning police and any civilian who's a little too interested away by whipping out her very best smile and lying her ass off. She works for everything she has, choosing to ignore the tiny gifts that appear in her hand the moment she shuts her eyes and wishes hard enough for them.
And then Charles Xavier finds her.
It's all history from there, and suddenly Solstice finds herself discovering whole entire worlds of things that she could never imagine, not even in her wildest dream.
Solstice Banks has never known a family that was bred to love her.
But maybe, now, she's found one.
