Code Name: Stray
Real Name: Chandi Madeleine Atkins
Age: 21
Appearance: Petite and very slim Chandi stands at 4â11â, rather cat like in appearance sheâs one of those mutants that canât go out without getting odd looks.

Her skin is covered in short silky jet-black fur, her nose and face resemble that of a catâs features, and she has whiskers, cat ears, teeth and a long slim tail to top off the whole look. To top that off Chandi has jet-black long silky corkscrew curls that reach to her elbows. Although with the appearance of her second mutation (Which appeared just a little bit after she left Valiant) Chandi is able to drop and illusion over herself to make those around her believe she looks completely human, with only a few aspects of her actual appearance staying in place like the appearance of her hair and the color of her eyes. Chandi speaks with a very slight Australian accent, one that sounds very much like Nicole Kidmanâs, and when she isnât under her own illusion powers she speaks with an added purr to her voice.
Former Occupations: Ex-Waitress/ Ex-Circus performer/ Ex- Exotic Dancer/ Ex- Member of Valiant.
Current Occupation: Chandi is currently making a living working as a Jockey for one of New Yorkâs biggest Racing Stables, and bartending on the side.
Powers: Chandiâs abilities are very closely related to her appearance, she has faster then normal reflexes (Think cat reflexes, but 5 times faster then a normal cat even), and the ability to make an ear-piercing shrill roar/meow that can shatter glass, and basically anything solid in-adamant object. She has also gathered another ability and that is the ability to form illusions; Chandi most notably uses this power to change her appearance to look like a normal everyday human.
Parents names: Talia and Ruaidhri
History:
Chandi Madeleine Atkins was a child of privilege, born into the notably wealthy Atkins Family and being the only child born to her parents they bestowed many gifts on her as she grew up, although it soon became apparent to them that their only daughter was not ânormalâ and that thought scared them. Chandiâs parents relished there high standing social status and didnât like the âflawâ Chandi had created in it by being a mutant and so things became very tense in the Atkins house hold and her parents often would spend weeks at a time in their Manchester Offices and away from Sydney and the daughter they had began to hate so very much. Chandi had been such a happy spirited young child that she hadnât noticed her parents pulling away, nor had she really noticed she was different having spent her entire life with tutors and only having maids and butlers to keep her company as she grew up in a relatively happy atmosphere at home. That all took a turn for the worse when Chandi hit puberty and more of her powers began to appear, most notably her ability to generate a very loud roar like noise that could shatter glass and almost anything else in a mile radius. That was when it really hit Chandi that she was different and having to become almost non-verbal for almost a year after her most recent power appeared hadnât helped her come to terms with her mutation any better. By this time she was about 13 and her parents had all but abandoned her, so she began thinking up a way to get away from it all yet still be able to live a relatively normal life, that way appeared in the form of a traveling Circus which was in dire need of a High wire Acrobat. Chandi soon approached the owner of the troupe and asked if she would be able to join the show, and when they questioned her about her appearances Chandi made up some extravagant lie about how it was a costumeâ¦a very good costume. The owner agreed to hire her and so Chandi was on her way out of Sydney and away from the life that had become to her very boring in many aspects. She traveled around with the circus troupe for a good 3 years before life just had to throw her yet another curve ball in the form of an old friend of her parents whom recognized her instantly while she performed with the troupe at a high profile charity banquet held in New York City. Fearing that this old ghost form her past might give her away Chandi didnât speak to him that night, and avoided any sort of high profile gigs that the circus company did after that. Though to her shock he contacted her about a week later, wanting to speak with her in person about an offer of sorts. Chandi agreed to meet with him while the circus was still in New York, after all the worst he could do is tell her parents she was with a traveling circus. Chandi met with this old friend, whom ended up offering her a way out of the circus and into the life sheâd left. But she would still be able to hide from her parents, which Chandi so desperately still wanted to do. This man was Sebastian Shaw, Black King of the Hellfire club. Chandi felt that he would in fact be able to keep her hidden from her parents and allow her to try and live some kind of a normal life, so she took the offer and a six month leave from the circus troupe as well. Having told the owners that she needed a break, and some time to herself. Soon after she moved into the Shaw mansion Chandi began to experience the life she had been used to for so long, maids and butlers at her beck and call and people falling all over themselves to do as she wished. Deep down she enjoyed this and felt very at home with Sebastian because he treated her unlike her own parents had and Chandi even began to view Sebastian as a lone lost father figure of sorts. A few months after Chandi had moved into the Shaw mansion Sebastian started bestowing large gifts and privileges on his guest and even offered her a place in the Hellfire club as Shinobi Shawâs Advisor, much like Tessa was to Sebastian. Shinobi was not at all happy to have a âchildâ as his advisor and voiced this to his father, though Chandi wasnât going to take any of his attitude and Shinobi soon learned to respect the young fireball of a girl. The two of them became an almost unstoppable force in the business field with Shinobiâs business sense and Chandiâs tell it, as it is personality. Chandi was slowly starting to feel very at home, but that all changed when Shinobiâs respect for her soon turned into more romantic feelings and he soon began to bring Chandi wherever he went and had begun spending large amounts of money on expensive gifts to show his affection. Chandi was again starting to feel very smothered but didnât say or do anything for fear of loosing the life sheâd become very accustom to again, and by this time the young mutant had reached her 18th birthday and had long ago cut all ties with the circus, although for the most part everyone involved in the circus was made to believe sheâd gotten married and moved on with her life, although only the latter was true. As Shinobiâs affections grew Chandi began to feel more and more fearful that she may be losing the life she cherished in New York by the pure fact that he had become very possessive of her and had even assigned her a bodyguard. Chandi couldnât say she didnât enjoy the attention she was getting from Shinobi but often wondered if it was real or false, because like his father he was manipulative and cunning and so she was always on her guard around him, plus her fear of losing her freedom was always at the forefront of her mind while around him. Half way into her second year with The Shawâs Shinobi proposed marriage stating that they were an unbeatable team in whatever they put their mind to, so why should they not get married and take the business world by storm. All of that was far to overwhelming for Chandi so she did the only thing she knew how to do when things got tough, she fled to London and avoided giving Shinobi an answer for almost a year and half. Having chosen to spend her time fighting crime it the United Kingdomâs superhero team Valiant, although after a year of doing that Chandi soon found that she would have to face her demons some day and so she left Valiant at the age of 20 to fix the mess sheâd made of her life before joining Valiant. Upon leaving Valiant Chandi traveled the world for two months, trying to take in all that she could be leaving behind if she were to go back to New York and give Shinobi the answer he so badly wants, it was also around this time that her belated second mutation appeared and Chandi gained the ability to be able to drop illusions around things. Although for the most part she only uses this power to change her appearance into that of a normal human being, which has made it easier for her to avoid having to face Shinobi for a little bit longer while she tries to figure out how exactly she felt about the whole thing. She spent another few months in Tibet enjoying being so secluded from things and from the world she was used to. Chandi soon took the dive and flew back to New York, meeting with Shinobi after only a week of being back. Although she didnât agree to marry him at the moment, the possibly still looms in the air for her, she still frequents the Hellfire Clubâs parties and works as a Liaison between the club and the inner circle, but she holds a day job as a jockey (horse racing) and does some bartending on the side. Over all Chandi leads a far more quite existence now in New York, casually dating Shinobi and a few other random tycoons of the Big Apple.
