Age: 19
Mutation: The ability to read minds. She may have more, but she has never had the opportunity to test that. She's also unaware that she is a mutant.
History: Deirdre was born in a small village in Ireland. Her mother died due to extreme complications from childbirth and her father was left to raise Deirdre on his own. Her father was cold and blamed Deirdre for his wife's death; he turned to alcohol to numb the pain. As a result, Deirdre spent her early years in extreme poverty. None of this dampened Deirdre's spirits though. She was always a happy child, talking with her imaginary friends and making up stories and places in her mind. She didn't have any real friends, as they all thought her abnormal, which she was. At age 8, she began hearing voices in her head. Occasionally, she would be able to focus on a particular thought, and would reply to this person's said thought. The small village, old fashioned as it was, began to think of Deirdre as a witch, or possessed by some demon, along with a variety of other heinous rumours. However, most of the time, everyone's thoughts flooded into her mind and she had no filtering system. By the time she was nine, she was no longer accepted in her town. She never attended school, and she never left her home.
One night, her father stumbled home from a late night of drinking. Unable to stand being the father of his wife's killer and one possessed, he tried to kill Deirdre. She awoke in the dark of morning to her father stumbling into her room with a shotgun pointed at her. Although she had no prior practice, her body and mind instinctively protected her by entering her father's mind. This exchange killed him and so she ran away.
She had no idea how long or how far she travelled, but in her nightgown, she was cold and getting sicker with every step. Deirdre was picked up by police in another county and brought into the local station. Her rantings were unintelligible and tears were constantly running from her eyes, while she would occasionally answer a thought from a passing officer. A psychologist was brought in to evaluate the 9 year old and decided that she need to be brought to an institution as she was a danger to both herself and society. The institution is where she grew up.
Personality: Deirdre's personality is full of scattered thoughts and phrases, and insanity. There may be something beyond the surface, but her institutionalization and the lack of acknowledgement regarding her powers has kept any sign of personality suppressed.
Appearance: Deirdre has brown hair, dark eyes, and pale skin. She's abnormally thin because she often refuses to eat, and she stands about 5'2".
