Name: Shadow
Civilian name: Abe Fuyumi
Age: 24
Occupation: Literature Teacher
Alliance: Good/ X-men
Appearance:
Fuyumi is average height and a very slender woman of Japanese descent. Her hair is long, with wispy curls and dark brown color. She’s pale and carries a very melancholy expression often times. She likes to wear flowing dresses and or simple comfy clothing.
Personality:
Fuyumi is generally very quiet and likes to watch others. She is not opposed to talking but she somewhat feels that she’s generally uninteresting so she won’t be the first to offer information about herself. She usually carries a lofty disposition and simply likes to take her time with things. She’s very kind to others and is most always gentle in her ways. When she’s angered she’ll let her face show it, although she may or may not speak on it. If she’s upset she’d most likely try to go somewhere and sleep. It’s her comforting device. Her smiles are small and pretty, however one has to catch her in a smile as she’s quick about smiling.
Mutant Classification: Alpha
Powers and Abilities:
Fuyumi is a mutant with the ability to pass through solid matter by passing her atomic particles through the spaces between the atoms of the object through which she is moving. In this way she and the object through which she is passing can temporarily merge without interacting, and each is unharmed when Shadow has finished passing through the object. This process is called "phasing" or quantum tunneling and it renders her almost completely intangible to physical touch. Shadow passes through objects at the same speed at which she is moving before she enters them. Since she is unable to breathe while inside an object, she can only continuously phase through solid objects (as when she travels underground) as long as she can hold her breath. The use of her abilities also interferes with any electrical systems as she passes through by disrupting the flow of electrons from atom to atom, including the bio-electric systems of living bodies if she concentrates in the right way. This typically causes machines to malfunction or be destroyed as she phases through them, and can induce shock and unconsciousness in living beings.
While phasing, she does not physically walk on surfaces, but rather interacts with the molecules of air above them, allowing her to ascend and descend, causing her to seemingly walk on air. While phased, she is immune to most physical attacks, and has inconsistent resistance to telepathy (It becomes more difficult for a telepath to get a grasp of her mind but not impossible). The density of some materials (such as adamantium) can prove deleterious to her phasing, causing her to be severely disoriented or experience pain if she tries to pass through them. Some energy attacks also prove problematic for Shadow.
Shadow can also extend her powers to phase other people and objects. Currently, she is able to phase at least a half a dozen other people (or objects of similar mass) with her, so long as they establish and maintain physical contact with her. She can extend her phasing effect to her own clothing or any other object with mass up to that of a small truck, as long as she remains in contact with it. Shadow can also make objects intangible by maintaining contact with them. She has threatened to leave people phased into a wall. It has been suggested that depending on the density of the person or object moved, she would be able to incinerate a person or object by dragging it to the center of the earth and leaving it there.
History:
Abe Fuyumi was born in Hokkaido Japan to a quiet hard working family. She lived life quietly and did well in school. She was always into reading and did so often in her spare time. Fuyumi discovered her powers when she was 14. She was sitting in her window reading and phased through, causing her to fall out of the second story window. She landed through the ground unharmed. She knew that this would be a problem. She went for a period of a month in a completely phased state and was unsure how to turn back. Charles Xavier using Cerebro found her and trained her to return to her original un-phased state. She decided to return to the X-mansion with Charles and Magneto and they helped he to train her powers both defensively and offensively (Magneto taught her more offensive tactics.) She currently teaches literature at the Xavier institute.
Other information:
She speaks English really well. She is also likes to sing when no one if around, unless she’s doing Karaoke.
