xxxxxNeve Leone is the only daughter of prominent D.C. psychiatrist, Dr. Edward Leone. The early death of Edward's wife, and Neve's mother, left the two with a close bond that survived even through the manifestation of Neve's mutation. There are countless character witnesses who would testify to knowing Neve while she was growing up, to the fact that she was a gentle and studious girl whose manifestation of mutant abilities was a source of horror for friends, family and neighbors. Just as many would testify to Dr. Leones tireless efforts to find a treatment and therapy that would cure his daughter.
xxxxxFortunately for Neve, he succeeded.
xxxxxNow Neve has come public with a newly published autobiography and self-help book, “Mirror, Mirror: Finding my True Reflection”. It is meant for mutants and their families, those who are struggling with their identities in today's world. She is also the spokesperson for Themis House, an organization dedicated to providing counselling, mutation suppression therapy and even grants for plastic surgery for those who wish to improve themselves and re-enter society as normal people.
xxxxxShe believes in this mission. She believes that there are people out there, mutants out there, that want and need to be helped to a normal life.

xxxxxNeve has proven herself to be quite the public speaker in spite of being a soft-spoken and gentle sort of person. Judging by her recently published autobiography, she's an excellent writer as well!
xxxxxGardening is another passion. She's recently begun to cultivate orchids.
xxxxxLike many New Yorkers (and D.C.ites) she cannot drive. Themis House provides a driver but she prefers public transit and has purchased a bicycle as well, much to the dismay of her minders since she never learned how to ride one as a child. She has all of the wobblies.
