History- Jeanne- Marie and her brother Jean- Paul (Northstar) where orphaned and separated whilst still babies. She was raised at Madame DuPont's School for Girls, a strict religious school in Quebec. Jeanne- Marie was a very introverted girl and was very depressed at the school.
At the age of thirteen, she attempted suicide by jumping from a roof It was at that time of great stress that her mutant powers exhibited themselves for the first time and she found that she could fly at great speed. Unaware of the the fact that she was a mutant Jeanne- Marie thought that it was a miracle but was severely punished for blasphemy by one of the Sisters. This beating led to her developing schizophrenia, and a second, daring and extrovert character that she kept hidden for five years. On finishing school she applied to be a teacher there, but that same day her second personality took over and she wound up in Montreal. She was spotted by Wolverine and was recruited for the Canadian governments super team Alpha Flight. Once with Alpha Flight she took the code name Aurora and was reunited once more with her brother.
