| - Rose Decker was born to Jason and Regina Decker in Metropolis, Delaware towards the middle of March. Her father owned a small business repairing watches and timepieces while her mother taught at the local elementary school. Rose was an only child and her parents made enough money for a comfortable life. From an early age, Rose was put into gymnastics and dancing, both of which she excelled at. She also started figure skating as well, but not for competition. As she grew older, and she was in elementary school, she found that she enjoyed history and english. By the time she reached in High school, Rose was winning gymnastic and dance competitions. In addition to her other sports and activities, Rose tried out for and got a position on her school's cheerleading team after she was in middle school. When she was in the eighth grade, her powers developed and displayed themselves. It happened one night during a football game. She wanted the quarterback's throw to reach the wide receiver, but it was obvious that the throw was going to be an incomplete. However, as she stood there, jumping up and down, and wishing for the ball to reach the receiver, the ball curved and landed directly in the wide receiver's arms. Rose had an inkling that she had been the one to cause that and the next morning when she was able to inadvertently hear her parents' thoughts and learn that they had had a fight, she realized that something was wrong. She also learned that her parents had been fighting for years, but that they had kept a lot of it away from her, for fear of upsetting her, and because she was incredibly young. She decided that if she was able to hear people's thoughts, maybe she was able to influence them, and after listening to her parents' sides of the argument, became a silent, but powerful arbiter between them. While her parents didn't realize how exactly they had come to the conclusions that they had, the conclusions benefited the family as a whole. Her father stopped drinking as much as he did, and her mother stopped complaining as much as she did. Rose decided that she wanted to work on her powers and figure out just what exactly she could do and what her limitations were. She worked on them in secret, until her parents discovered what she could do, her freshman year of high school. The truth came out accidentally, and Rose didn't have the heart to telepathically influence her parents' minds. She decided that she had done that enough with their fights and giving them a happy home. It was up to them to see what they would do. As she hadn't expected, her parents behaved as though there had been no telepathic suggestions for a year and a half. Her father started drinking again, and her mother blamed the fact that their daughter was a mutant on her father. Rose thought that her mother was upset that she was a mutant, but found out that her mother was just concerned about Rose having to deal with prejudice and racism because she was a mutant. After the family bonded over the realization and truth, they decided that they would work together to shield Rose and the rest of them from any anti-Mutant sentiment. The best laid plans never survive contact with the enemy and when Rose was in her sophomore year in high school, she had her first boyfriend. After dating him for a solid six months, she confided in him that she was a mutant. He had said that he was okay with it, and he had been. A month or so later, they had broken up, and he had told everyone around the entire school campus that she was a mutant, making her the target of hateful comments by various students. It had been a horrible life, and one that she hadn't wanted to live at all. During this time, she found out that there was another mutant at her school, a boy by the name of Charles Drake Durant. Charles had powers, not like hers, but he had powers, which made him a target too. He stayed quiet however, refusing to let people know that he had them. He and Rose became friends however, and he helped her through the difficult time that she had at her school. Their personalities complimented each other perfectly. They became incredibly close.
