Name: Sofia Mantega
Age: 25
Apparent Age: 23
Gender: Female
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Brown/Hazel
Appearance:
Celebrity Appearance: Dayana Mendoza
Code Name: Wind Dancer
Powers:
Aerokinesis: ability to mentally direct air particles, allowing her to amplify small vibrations in the air and draw far-off sounds to her ears, disrupt the equilibrium of others with compressed air, lift herself off the ground for flight, create sharp forces of wind that can cut through material, and create isolated whirlwinds or directed blasts of high pressure air control and manipulate the movement of air.
Background: Early Life
Sofía was born and lived most of her life in Caracas, Venezuela. While under the care of her uncle, Sofia's mother was killed in a riot in town. Busy playing with the winds and her younger cousin, the news came to her uncle first, who watched the pair in the distance. Unfortunately, Sofia's mutant ability brought her the news of her mother's death as well as her uncle's refusal to take care of her. Shortly after her mother's funeral, she is sent to her father, who had been previously unaware of her existence. The head of a major supermarket chain located in the United States, Walter Barrett is an occupied businessman without the time nor the interest for a daughter.
Despite her enthusiasm in the reunion, he quickly sets three ground rules - she would learn English before school started, she would get good grades, and she would not use her mutant power. In return, he ensured her she would want for nothing.
Xavier Institute
Three weeks later, she joined a local school, but had difficulty fitting in. By her birthday in May, despite her best efforts, she still had no friends at the school, and her father didn't even know it was her birthday (unlike his butler Derek, the only person who had any time for her). After hearing someone say that no one liked her behind her back after lying that they were busy, she finally snapped. Going to one of her father's stores, she let loose a hurricane inside it, completely wrecking it before collapsing into a fetal position, where the police found her and arrested her.
Her father visited her in jail. Asking her why she'd done it, she weakly replied that it was to see whether he'd notice, and that she'd made sure no one was hurt. Intending to leave her in prison for 48 hours before dropping the charges, and planning on a second paternity test to make sure he was not her father before sending her back to Venezuela, he was confronted by Danielle Moonstar. Having seen what Sofía had done on the news, she "persuaded" him to release Sofía into her custody so that she could take her to the Xavier Institute, then talked Sofía herself into going. After saying goodbye to Derek, they went onward to Xavier's.
New Mutants-New X-men
Resident mischief maker Hellion (Julian Keller) found himself instantly attracted to Mantega, offering to guide her through the school and tour the local hang out spots. Despite his persistent efforts, she nearly always rejected his offers due to his haughty behavior and rude remarks to her new growing group of friends, including the shy, emotion manipulating Wallflower (Laurie Collins) and the straight-laced Prodigy (David Alleyne).
The group would eventually become the New Mutants squad, along with several other students including a runaway from Japan named Surge (Noriko Ashida), Laurie's love interest and former Reavers member Elixir (Joshua Foley), as well as a dangerous but well intentioned mutant named Wither (Kevin Ford).
When it came time to appoint a leader, one of the more qualified members, Prodigy rejected the role of leadership. With no other volunteers, Sofía took the position, but became isolated and irritable when she proved unsuited to the task. Her command decisions weakened further when Wither was arrested for the accidental murder of his father, and she briefly sided with the Hellions, the group's rival squad, to break him free. After the New Mutants fought the Hellions over the incident, Prodigy talked her into letting Kevin go, and she talked him into leading the team. He was reluctant, but agreed to be co-leader with Sofía, to better mesh their strengths.
Thereafter, Sofía's temper eased again until the school dance, where she caught Laurie manipulating Prodigy to make her ex-boyfriend Elixir jealous.[3] Alarmed by the rapid disintegration of the squad, she found herself kissing Hellion, to whom she'd reluctantly been drawn since her arrival at the Institute, and he pushed her to end the in-fighting since she was the one who saw the good in everyone - even him. She tried to do so by forcing everyone to get together for a camp-out on the X-Mansion grounds. While bickering and even fist fighting broke out, Sofia was able to eventually reconcile her teammates.
Depowered
Sofia lost her powers along with 90% of the mutant population when the Scarlet Witch produced a reality-bending spell in an attempt to solve the human/mutant problem.
Along with most of the depowered students, she moved out of the mansion and was to return to Venezuela with her father's former man-servant, Derek. She left the school abruptly without giving Julian notice after she catches him callously denouncing Prodigy after he had lost his powers. Luckily, she was not one of the many students to have been killed by an attack from William Stryker and his Purifiers.
New Warriors
Yet for unknown reasons, Sofia moved to New York City, where she lived alone and worked as a waitress. She felt directionless in her new "normal" life and had nightmares, which ominously featured none other than the Scarlet Witch, about the trauma of losing her powers. During the dream, Sofia enjoyed the pleasures of winged flight. Around that time Sofia began to receive strange messages from a group calling itself the New Warriors. The group sent a messenger whom Sofia recognized as Barry, a young man she knew (and flirted with) from the restaurant she worked in. Sofia was angry until Barry explained that he was a depowered mutant, and was actually her old friend from the Xavier Institute, Beak. (She did not recognize him because of his altered appearance post-M-Day.) Beak transported Sofia into the secret base of the New Warriors, where she was introduced to Night Thrasher. Sofia refused Night Thrasher's offer. Before leaving, Night Thrasher gave Sofia an amulet which she later threw in an alley whereupon it exploded into a wall of webs. Immediately after the amulet detonated, fellow ex-mutant Wondra (formerly known as Jubilee) demonstrated why she joined the Warriors and further tried to persuade Sofia into joining the group.
She recently had another dream where she fought alongside both the X-Men and her former teammates against the Blob, which seemed to indicate a longing for her old friends, her former love interest Hellion, and a life of heroism.
Back in Action
Still refusing to join the team, Sofia returned to her job as a waitress. However, a battle between the New Warriors and a new Zodiac broke out near the restaurant and Sofia helplessly witnessed Cancer kill the New Warrior Longstrike.
With the Warriors fighting a losing battle and a little boy caught in the crossfire, Sofia charged unarmed towards Cancer providing enough distraction to give her friends the upper hand. While the super-powered individuals battled, Sofia tried to get the young boy to safety but was blasted from behind from an unknown energy blast. The battle ended and the unregistered heroes fled for violating the Superhuman Registration Act. Nearby paramedics agreed to take care of the fallen hero while the team escaped.
At the hospital, doctors determined that Sofia was suffering from burns, a concussion, and various other problems from the attack. During a comatose state, Sofia dreamed she was meeting her mother in Heaven and once again bore angel-like wings. While Sofia was overjoyed by the reunion, her dream ended when Sofia's heart monitor continued to show signs of life.
Sofia made headlines for her heroic deeds during the battle, suffering serious injuries. Luckily, she was expected to fully recover and only briefly lost her hair due to surgery.
Upon her release from the hospital, Sofia reconsidered Night Thrasher's offer to join the team right as he was about to disband the group following the disastrous encounter with the Zodiac. However, the team of depowered mutants had found a sense of belonging with each other after losing a part of who they were following M-Day and wished to stay a team.
Renascence
Sofia's first mission as a New Warrior put her and the team up against the Alphaclan, a villain team atop of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s most wanted list. While Wondra said Sofia "held her own on her first mission", the team's efforts fell short until Night Thrasher intervened.
Sofia took on the codename Renascence while operating with the New Warriors. She continued to waitress at her job and lived off-base as to never be dependent on someone else ever again.
During one of her shifts at the restaurant, Sofia was greeted by news reporter Kat Farrell of the Daily Bugle who wanted to know the "inside story" about the New Warriors.
