Height: 5â7â
Age: 23
Powers: Tessa is a mutant who possesses low-level telepathic powers strong enough to read minds and communicate with others. Tessa also possesses a computer-like memory, able to store vast amounts of information and recall it almost instantly.
History:
Tessa Niles grew up in a small village in Bosnia until she was 15 years of age, her family moved to the States to escape the wars in their own country and give Tessa a better chance at a future. When they moved she also changed her first name and family name to something decidedly more American. When her family had successfully settled into life in New York City a 16 year old Tessa was contacted by Charles Xavier with a request to infiltrate the Hellfire Club to spy on its leader Sebastian Shaw, though she did not originally accept the offer, weighing the pro and cons of the situation she contacted Xavier 1 year later accepting his request.
Tessa spent more than 5 years with the Hellfire Club, working at first as Shawâs assistant and counselor, but soon into her âmissionâ she overthrew the current Black Queen, Selene and became the new Black Queen of the Hellfire Club at the young age of 18. She met Betsy Braddock during her reign and warned the other mutant away, saying it was dangerous to Xavierâs plan. Though in reality she saw Braddock as a threat to her title, knowing that Telepaths were always preferred in the Inner Circle, and Betsy was clearly much stronger than she was. She also knew her alliance with the White Queen; powerful as Emma Frost was could not secure her status forever. She also knew her hold on Shaw would not last forever, and therefore constantly analyzing ways to keep herself at the top.
She broke ties with Xavier, proving to him that sending a youth into such a situation was incredibly stupid ploy to keep the Club from doing what it may. Though to her own despair the Hellfire Club was disbanded for lack of better terms when she was 21 and she was forced to find something else to occupy her time. Earning a degree as a lawyer in less than a couple months she was quickly grabbed up by a high power law firm; working in the firm for the better part of a year, she had quickly made a name for herself in the social circles of the lawyers and enjoyed that life. Until she was called on by Emma Frost one afternoon, her former mentor was now running an academy for young mutants with other X-men as her colleagues. Emma requested she come to the Mansion with her to speak with Professor Xavier, whom needed to speak to the young woman urgently.
Against her better judgment Tessa accompanied Emma to Westchester, with thoughts that Xavier may be exacting some form of punishment on her for betraying him. But to her surprise the Professor requested she return to help Storm and her team of mutants find something called Destinyâs Diaries. She declined the offer, apologized for her previous dealings and requested a teaching position instead; Tessa was given the opportunity to teach a class on Mutant/Human dealings, though they were good now it was always helpful for young mutants to know the history between the two races. She taught at the school for a span of one school year, until she was taken from her timeline and set with a group of reality hoppers; so far she has experienced just a few missions with the group, but she has taken well to the change from teacher to a hero of sorts.

Name: Batgirl
Real Name: Francesca âFrankiâ Lind Grayson
Appearance: Tall and athletic looking. She has inherited her fatherâs black hair and blue eyes.
Height: 6â0â
Age: 25
Powers: None to speak of. But she is physically trained in gymnastics, acrobatics, and martial arts. She also has firearm training.
History: Franki is the daughter of Barbara and Dick Grayson; she grew up in Gotham City at one of the worst points in its history. Crime had gotten incredibly high, even with the presence of the many masked vigilanteâs in the city it seemed that the police and masked crusaders were outnumbered. Life in Gotham wasnât ever normal, the police force was overworked and the streets were never safe for civilians, many times her parents had played with the thought of moving Franki and her brother Garrett to Keystone City to live with Dickâs friend Wally West and his wife Linda; but in the end they could never get the headstrong little girl to agree to leaving; she was too connected to the city, as derelict as it was and to the family that would remain there.
Since she was young Franki seemed to have a morbid interest in the inter-workings of crimes, why they happened, and how the authorities would figure them out. It spurred her into studying forensic science at GCU, one of the few places in the city not taken over by crime lords; she graduated top of her class. Franki has since been working with the GCPD in their CSI division, one of the few women that still venture into law enforcement in the city. Her father had quite a bit to do with her acceptance into the force, since he was (and still is) Gotham City's police chief; though because of this she is constantly trying to prove herself, a habit that sheâs always felt in her over-achieving family and extended familyâ¦a good majority of her relations are superheroes, so she has a tendency to feel inadequate.
Recently she has been coerced into taking up the title of Batgirl as the previous Batgirl, Cassandra Cain, gave up the title and Gotham City's need for one of its most influential crime fighters couldn't be higher. Franki is now sidekick to the current Batman, Tim Drake, who is currently without a Robin.
