{{Tab}}Echo is 5'8" and, though she attained this height around two years ago, moves as though she is slightly surprised that she takes up space and trying not to. Her collarbone-length black hair is straight and thick, seen primarily as an obstacle to detangle or get out of her glasses (tortoiseshell acetate, but importantly, with nosepads). There is a tentative air about her expressions, but she smiles often, if not fully. While her build has softened from childhood athleticism, she retains muscle mostly in her thighs and glutes. She dresses simply, solid shirts and jeans most of the time.

{{Tab}}Echo was born Clarissa Ziyin Lin on January 23, 2007 to Chinese immigrant parents. She had a classic sheltered middle-class life in the suburb of Eden Prairie, full of little activities (in order of longevity: piano, Chinese dance, Chinese school, even hockey) and the anxieties of growing up in a fairly white neighborhood and having a domineering and unsympathetic mother.
{{Tab}}Echo had a classic sheltered middle-class immigrant childhood in the suburb of Eden Prairie: lots of little activities, a domineering mother, trying to be Midwestern enough to fit in. Being a mutant seemed fun and harmless at first, until it started uncontrollably manifesting whenever she tried to prove something in all-too-frequent arguments. Apparently fairly useless mutant powers look like cheating to schools and make you a bad influence on little sisters, so after a failed attempt at a different boarding school, Echo ended up at Xavier's and hasn't been welcome home since. Post ill-advised group detour, she's managed to make Xavier's feel reasonably like home.  
 
{{Tab}}Persistent tensions turned hard in middle school when academic expectations and Clarissa's desire to fit in increased. Her powers kicked in to cover up freezing during a piano recital, and at first, being a mutant seemed fun; a trick to read while "practicing", a sense of being, like in a favorite fantasy novel, someone else. She confided in six-years-younger sister Candace, who would always keep a secret for her, and then her best friend, who first floated the idea of the name "Echo", but never planned on telling her parents, until it started uncontrollably manifesting whenever she tried to prove something in an argument.  
 
{{Tab}}Things calmed into an icy silence at home after a replay shook the window glass, but during her freshman year the entire class started hearing their teachers' voices during tests; she was pulled out of school after cheating accusations and lost touch with her friends. After a semester of online school, her parents outsourced the problem to a private Catholic boarding school the next year, but she got expelled from that one too. Her parents reached out to Xavier's after hearing about some mutant alums; after learning it could be a more permanent solution, they made it clear that though they would support her financially, they wanted her home as little as possible. Seemed a good time to start calling herself something different; Echo, meet Xavier's.

Introduction

xxxxxWalking tape recorder.

Description

xxxxxAt 5'8", Echo is tall for the Chinese-American teenager she is but lacks much of a presence -- her movements tend to be relaxed-but-reserved, though it's not hard to get her to smile. Her collarbone-length black hair is straight and thick. She's almost always just wearing her tortoiseshell glasses, some genre of t-shirt, jeans and sneakers, and a hoodie when it's cold, and she often has earbuds in. Echo's build is fairly straight up-and-down, carrying more muscle in her lower than upper body.

Reputation

xxxxxClassmates may know that Echo arrived at Xavier's in the spring of 2023 and somewhat promptly became one of the kids that landed themselves in Lassiter. Otherwise not very high-profile -- may be known for having her hand in a smattering of different music things and sharing whatever she's baking if you run into her in the kitchen. Never instigates trouble but game to participate and easily influenced by friends.

History

xxxxxEcho had a classic sheltered middle-class immigrant childhood in the suburb of Eden Prairie: lots of little activities, a domineering mother, trying to be Midwestern enough to fit in. Being a mutant seemed fun and harmless at first, until it started uncontrollably manifesting whenever she tried to prove something in all-too-frequent arguments. Apparently fairly useless mutant powers look like cheating to schools and make you a bad influence on little sisters, so after a failed attempt at a different boarding school, Echo ended up at Xavier's and hasn't been welcome home since. Post ill-advised group detour, she's managed to make Xavier's feel reasonably like home.

Powers

xxxxxEcho is an audiokinetic who can perfectly reproduce sounds she's heard (audible, 20 Hz to 20 kHz). Can cut out background noise if she was focused on the sound. A useful memory aid, as long as she can remember that it happened (a bit of a circular problem). Passively, she has immunity to cochlear damage from audible soundwaves as well as perfect pitch.
