Biography
Sofia Emma Mantega was a female human Mutant who grew up in Caracas, Venezuela. Her loving mother was in the city one day, buying her daughter a gift, when local police showed up to break up an escalating protest. The gunfire tragically hit and killed Sofia’s mother. When one of Sofia’s family members brought the news to her uncle, Sofia’s mutant power of wind manipulation carried the heartbreaking news to her ears. At the funeral, Sofia could hear all of the hushed whispers of her family members, discussing how they didn’t want to take in a mutant child. She was sent to her father in Colorado, who had a successful supermarket business. He made it very clear that he had no desire for a daughter and commanded her to quickly learn English, get good grades and never use her mutant power. He said she would want for nothing, as long as she did nothing to embarrass him. Luckily for her, to counteract this cold demeanor, Sofia had one friendly presence in her new life in the form of her father’s assistant, Derek. Sofia was full of optimism when she first went to school three weeks later. Despite learning passable English in such a short time, the other kids still made fun of her speaking and whispered about how they didn’t like her. On her sixteenth birthday, she hoped that her father or some of her classmates might want to celebrate with her, but she only received a cold shoulder. This finally made Sofia snap and she calmly left school and entered her father’s supermarket. Using her mutant powers, Sofia summoned powerful gusts of wind to obliterate the store without hurting any people. The incident made national news and Sofia was berated by her father for ruining his reputation. He planned on sending her back to Venezuela but was interrupted by Dani Moonstar. Having seen the news, she had traveled to offer Sofia a spot at the Xavier Institute. Having nowhere else to go, Sofia graciously accepted the offer after a heartfelt goodbye to Derek.
