xxxxxAeryune Aoife Mallory was born to a Irish couple who came to the united states seeking a better, more prosperous life. She was born in Ireland with 6 older siblings and 2 younger ones came after her in America. The family settled in Madison, Wisconsin. The capital city was not the largest but certainly one of the most diverse in the state.
Having a large family to support Aeryune and being one of the younger children Aeryune was doted on plenty. She was always the smallest of the children but also one of the bright and bubbliest of them. Spoiled completely rotten she was the first one to hug someone to try to make their day a bit better. This remained into her teenage years as she was really a cheerleader for all those around her being supportive. Not afraid to make a fool out of herself she was a very positive influence.
Her family was always rather healthy and did not get sick, they simply didn't. However she might have never found out she was a mutant if it weren't for volunteering in a youth program at a local hosptial. Following around nurses and assisting at the hosptial doing minor tasks. When she would visit with struggling patients as part of her volunteer work they would always get markedly better. Those that she visited regularly became to actually recover. She began to have some inkling then that there might be something different about her.
Aeryune was popular in school. She was outspoken and part of cheer squads. Being smaller than most girls her age she wasn't afraid of bullies, and not only did she look to the brighter side of things she also didn't seem to mind the spotlight either. She started studying music and learned how to play a guitar as well as sing. Singing and dancing, any spotlight didn't matter to her as it brought attention to her, especially since she was a late bloomer physically. It was one way to get people to pay attention to her she felt.
Aerin's eldest sister Siobhan was dating a military veteran who had lost his arm. Spending some time at the family home he received lots of attention from Aeryune as well as the other members of the household. Surprisingly his arm began hurting, and even had growth where it began slowly growing back. Spending time figuring things out through process of elimination it was found that Aeryune's touch seemed to do it. It was painful for John, however the more time they spent on it the more it regrew. An exhausting process for both and painful on John's side they worked together and over the course of several weeks his arm had completely grew back.
Eventually word got out in John's circles that he somehow regrew his arm. He wasn't a mutant and some of the financially wealthy wanted to know more. One of the men who owned the company that John worked for had cancer and it was not going well. Looking into things with private investigation he ended up kidnapping Aeryune with intention of keeping her locked in his room to heal him, and then sell her services to other rich to keep them healthy as well.
John learned of this plot and violently rescued Aeryune. He and Siobhan ran off with her to try to keep her safe. Approached by the Xavier institute Aerin was offered a scholarship. More important to the family it was far away from Wisconsin, and it was safe and secure.
