CHARACTER

Name: X-23 | Laura Kinney
Canon: Marvel comics
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Wing Color: Black

Canon Point: End of X-23 #18
Canon Point Explanation: I feel this leaves Laura at a good point. She's learnt a lot about herself, made friends and fought some demons and is well on the way to recovering from the damage X-Force did to her attempts at a normal life.
History: Wikipedia link.

Personality: (Please consider here things such as habits, likes and dislikes, thought patterns, experiences and so on. This section should be fairly detailed!)

Strengths (Provide canon examples and include special powers/abilities as necessary. You may combine sections as needed, but remember to always be thorough.)
Physical: As a clone of Wolverine, Laura has his accelerated healing and his claws, two each in her hands and one each in her feet, which have also have also been coated with adamantium, making them virtually indestructible and capable of cutting through most substances. Her healing ability means cuts, bullet wounds or stab wounds are healed within minutes, and she is advanced enough to regrow or reattach limbs, regrowing her arm after Kimura cut it off, and reattaching her hand after she severed it herself. It also makes her immune to most diseases, toxins and drugs, though high doses of drugs will affect her. The lack of an adamantium skeleton means she tends to heal faster then Wolverine. Her mutation has also pushed her senses such as sight, hearing and scent as well as her speed, agility, strength, balance, endurance, reflexes or reactions to superhuman levels.

On top of that Laura was trained form birth to become a weapon, which means she is superb at hand to hand combat, specifically an unamed martial art, as well as skilled in long range weapons and explosives.
Mental: Laura has been well educated, though her education often covered topics not usually touched upon, like how much you should bribe police officials in France. Never the less she is intelligent, knowing at least fluent French and Japanese on top of her native American-English. She also has learnt to shield her mind to some degree, enough to make it difficult for a telepath to get in, unless they are very persistent.
Emotional: Laura's biggest strength, emotion wise is her empath. Even years of being forced to watch brutal scenes of murder and death, of being forced to kill puppies and then humans wasn't enough to properly kill it. She lets the son of a target go more then once, she goes in the place of her friend Sooraya to what she's sure is a trap. This empathy leads into loyalty and to some degree, Laura is loyal to those who show her kindness. She is extremely loyal to Wolverine, to the point of protectiveness, and she develops this loyalty to Gambit as well as her New X-men teammates when she was still with them. Most importantly she is capable of love. She loved her mother. She once loved Julian Keller. And she's learning to love herself.



Weaknesses ( Provide canon examples and include special powers/abilities as necessary. You may combine sections as needed, but remember to always be thorough.)
Physical: Laura has a trigger scent, created to override her mind and moral compass and send her in a beserker rage. One sniff sends her in a full attack against the person who bears it and snapping her out of is difficult as not many can hold her still long enough to remind her who she really is. A lack of an adamantium skeleton also is a flaw in her, as without it she can still be killed, if her head is ripped off.
Mental: Her ideas on what is right and wrong are a little skewed, though this is starting to get better. But basically she sees no issue in harming or even killing someone who has done horrible things. They deserve it, don't they? She also tends to be a bit too obedient, though that has started to changed as she's started to do what she wants to do rather then be the obedient weapon to be used against an enemy.
Emotional: Laura is highly emotionally disconnected even now. She was subject to repeated attempts to destroy her empathy, make her a mindless killing machine and while it may not have worked, it has left her unable to deal with her emotions properly. Love baffles and scares her, her crush on Hellion originally scares her because she just doesn't understand it. It also makes her rather blind to others emotions, resulting her being quite blunt, for example when Nori attempts to find out what happened to David in Limbo everyone but Lauara attempts to tell her nothing happened, where as Laura gives the exact details without hesitation.

The biggest weakness in Laura's inability to handle her emotions is that it has lead to her becoming a cutter to cope with times she is unsure and scared of them as her body will heal the cuts easily.


Anything else?: Nope!
