******History******
There isn't a lot known about Rahne's childhood before she met Moira
MacTaggert, but what little we do know isn't nice. We know that her mother
died when she was VERY young, and she came into the care of Rev. Craig. He
raised her in the strictest, most Fundamental Christian method possible,
indoctrinating her into the ways he saw as right. We also know he hated
her (Exc.94), ever before her powers developed. It all came to a head when
she manifested her mutancy, Rev. Craig called her 'Devil Child' and tried
to have her burnt at the stake (to save her soul, of course). A lynch mob
led by him chased her over the highlands, until she ran into Moira
MacTaggert. MacTaggert put herself between the mob and Rahne, and said she
was under her protection, forcing Rev. Craig to grudgingly abandon his
lynching. Moira made herself Rahne's legal Guardian, and took her to
Charles Xavier, for help in controling and using her powers. The saddest
thing about her childhood is that it is highly likely that Rev. Craig is
he father, and all his hate toward her is because she always reminded him
of his affair with her mother.
 Rahne
was the one of the first two New Mutants, along with Xi'an Coy Mahn(Karma).
In Rahne's opinion coming to Xavier's school, were "either the best thing,
or the worst thing, to happen to her"(NM GN), and originally she viewed
her mutant gift as a curse from Satan, an opinion that soon left her.
Along with Danielle Moonstar(Psyche, later Mirage), Roberto
DaCosta(Sunspot) and Samuel Guthrie (Cannonball), Karma and Wolfsbane
formed the original line-up of the New Mutants. Rahne and Dani soon became
the very closest of friends, largely do to the psi-link they shared, and
the two pretty soon became inseperable.
With the New Mutants, Rahne had numerous adventures, a lot of them
unintentional or without permission. Whilst with the New Mutants she say
more and went more places than most only dream. She has been around the
world, to Atlantis, to other galaxies, Asgard (and had a love affair with
a 'Wolf Prince' - the two are still believed to love each other), and got
flung through Time more than once. There have however also been great
tragedies, the entire team was slaughtered by the Beyonder, only to be
resurrected later with severe mental trauma and a loss of all their
training. However, the events of Genosha aside, the most harrowing event
in Rahne's life was Doug Ramsey's sacrifice to save her life from the
Animator, she still blames herself for him dying.
The Genoshan X-tinction Agenda was probably the biggest single turning
point in her life, the hideous treatment and enslavement inflicted upon
her by the Genoshans and Cameron Hodge will most likely haunte her until
the day she dies. She was on of the five kids kidnapped by Magistrates
form the ground of the Mansion, and though they managed to escape, she
went back to save Warlock's life, and failed. Because of this meddling,
Hodge reserved a special punishment for her, while Storm was turned into a
special mutate to be used as a weapon against Hodge, Rahne underwent the
full process, with the exception that all her memories were left intact
and her free will utterly buried. This was meant to make her enslavement
all the more painful, but It also made her a dangerous weapon, and when
she regained her free will, she decided that she was going to personally
cause Hodge to rue the day he had been born. Since then she has had a deep-rooted
and vicious hatred of Hodge.
However, regaining her free will was not enough, as Rahne was left unable
to return to a human form without reverting to the mindless state of a
mutate. This lead to a lot of experimentation and practice in control of
her abilities so as "get as close to human as possible without reverting
do a docile featherbrain".
Rahne was one of the original members of the Government-run X-Factor,
along with Havok, Polaris, Madrox, Quicksilver and Strong Guy. If truth be
told, the real reason Rahne joined X-Factor was because of her 'crush' on
Alex Summers (Havok). It only turned out later that this was merely a side
effect of the master/slave she was bonded to him in. Because of this 'crush'
rather tensions existed between her and Lorna Dane(Polaris), who was very
much involved with Alex, until the real cause of the 'crush' was found.
However, the team eventually were able to work together without problems.
Unfortunately, over time, Rahne's bond with Alex became a problem, she was
unable to be treated for it on Muir Isle, because it physically hurt for
her to be seperated from him, and she became more and more savage, feeding
off Alex's Id, his darker emotions, and acting them out. This was
partially reduced by her growing friendship with Guido. Luckily she was
helped by Haven, curing her of the Genoshan programming.
When onslaught came to power, she joined the x-corp thinking Onslaught was
a good guy, fighting the resistance. Eventually, she realized she was
deceived. She found that their cause was unjust and switched sides.
Rahne went back home to Moira after the fall of Onslaught., she has been
able to lay some of her ghosts to rest. She finally challenged Rev. Craig,
showing him that she knew the truth behind his hatred, "[her] own firey
torch". Being tired of her surroundings on Genosha, she has decided to
head for New York
