Xi'an Coy Manh/Karma
Sep. 27th, 2009 06:50 pm
A refugee from Vietnam, Xi'an Coy Manh, or "Shan" as she prefers to be called, is the daughter of a South Vietnamese war veteran suffering from post traumatic stress and a leg injury. The family immigrated to the US when Shan was a young teen - it was on the refugee boat that she manifested her ability to psionically possess others when they were attacked by pirates. She built herself a successful life in the States, studying hard, until her college graduation when a hotel fire killed her parents, made her twin brother and her uncle fugitives from the FBI and placed the responsibility for raising her young siblings directly in her hands. Struggling to cope for some time, she eventually got a job at Xavier's as the school's librarian, the position suiting her quiet, orderly nature and the school providing an education to her younger brother and sister, also twins and both X-positive. In August 2010, with the twins still showing no signs of manifesting, Shan decided to move to Salem Center in order for them to have a wider social circle and to allow her the chance to pursue her own academic career.
