|History=Kitora started her life as a normal girl - her parents immigrated from Japan but she was born in the suburbs of Hartford, CT.

Profile
A Japanese-descent girl living in the outskirts of New York City, quite intelligent and into acrobatics. However, she was actually a mutant - and when her gravity-shifting powers ignited, the wild surges of gravity powers smashed her parents into the ceiling as the house collapsed around them. Her parents survived - barely - but their house and most of their possessions were ruined - and they drew Kitora out for being a 'freak' and dangerous.
Taken in by the Xavier's School, they helped her to train her powers and to make new friends - for all her old ones had forsaken her due to the incident. She accepts herself as a mutant - and she tends to eat like a horse - her powers are demanding on her body, but no matter how much she eats, she doesn't gain any weight.
Prone to nightmares of that fateful day, she tries to put on a brave face... but she still misses her parents - the rest of her family shunned her for being a 'freak'. She hopes, one day, to reconcile with them. But all attempts of contact have been shunned so far.
Sheet
Description
Her neck is long and leads to slender shoulders. She has a petite physique with a modest bust - she wears a snug red blouse. She has muscular arms and slender hands with red-painted fingernails. She has a narrow waist and curvy hips - her athletic legs are contained in red cotton pants. Her feet are in sensible tennis shoes, also red.
History
Then... just as she was finishing grade school at age 12... she was bouncing on her bed and suddenly everything went weird. Suddenly she found herself standing on the bedroom ceiling - and her body was glowing red - dull red for the most part with bright red lines down her arms and legs visible through her skin, and big sunbursts of red where her heart and brain were. She, of course, screamed in panic. Her parents came rushing in to see what looked like some kind of demon - in a panic, her powers flailed out of control as everything in her room started pulling to her and flinging about - the gravitational anomaly was powerful enough to warp the structural support of the home - even as her parents were smashed into a wall. It finally ended when the ceiling joist hit her in the head, knocking her out - but the damage is done. The house was ruined, and her parents were critically injured. Other than a bump, she was fine, but she discovered that her hair and eyes are now permanently bright red.
Once they recovered, her parents threw her out, told her never to contact them again. She started wandering off, not knowing where to go - when a van came to her. An envoy of the Xavier's School for Gifted Students, they told her what she was - a mutant. And they can help her control her powers, so an accident like that won't happen again. Having nowhere else to go, she accepted.
Away from her old school, she got homesick fast - all calls she tried making to her parents were rejected and she gave up - none of her friends from school would have anything to do with her either - they were all afraid of the 'mutie'. Giving up on all that, she started to try to rebuild a new life at the Xavier's School, making new friends. Discovering how to use her powers in a more constructive manner - and shocking the cafeteria workers at how much she eats - she eats triple what a normal person her age would eat but never gains a pound. Apparently bending the laws of physics requires a lot of energy.
As she ages, she gains more control and fine-tuning of her powers. Her studies of gymnastics and acrobatics help her to learn how to move in the air - for she figured out pretty early how to fly - and her study of physics let her know just what she was messing with. She finishes high school with a very high GPA and was accepted to Princeton on full scholarship. Meanwhile, she read all she could about the mysterious group of mutant vigilantes known as the X-Men, wishing that one day she can join their elite ranks.
Personality
But when her mind turns to her family, from which she has been exiled, she can get homesick and lonely. She is trying to prove herself not to be the monster, the demon they called her, just because her ill-controlled power kindling almost killed them.
Abilities
One ability that Rift has that is not entirely under her control is an emergency teleport. If in a life-threatening situation, sometimes her powers can activate and simply rip her from where she was to the place where she considers most safe. This is a painful act and damaging to the environment at both ends, but it won't permanently hurt her. She cannot control when it'd happen, nor can she stop it if it's about to happen.
GRAVITY MANIPULATION
Rift's ability to control gravity extends beyond being able to fly or use herself as a kinetic missile. She can manipulate the effect of gravity of objects and people in her line of sight.
She can make things weightness and move them around, in an effect that would seem similar to telekinesis. In her immediate vicinity, she can suspend 5 tons this way - she can make something stop in place and float, or deflect its trajectory. She can either have said object orbit her in a type of 'stasis field' or hold them still, or move them around. Any object she is manipulating will be limned in a red aura, similar to Rift's own aura of power. But it's harder to do this at range, or to move something heavy away. Every 100 feet distance from her, her 'carry weight' is halved in a geometric decay. So 2.5 tons at 100 feet, 1.25 tons at 200 feet, etc. At 1,000 feet, this equates out to about 10 pounds, and is her maximum range. If she has something ensconced in a zero-g field, she can fire said object at high speed in the direction of her choice, but the larger the item, the more effort this takes. (Some objects, like bullets, are moving so fast and are so tiny that it's very difficult to deflect or stop them.)
The other half of this is INCREASING the gravity. In her vicinity, she can trap someone in a high-gravity field, up to 5 times Earth's gravity in her immediately vicinity. The area where the gravity is high will glow in a red light. Like her other ability, this, too, has a geometric decay, halving the effectiveness every 100 feet, trailing off to having no effect at 250 feet.
GRAVITY SHIFTING
Rift's main mutant power is the ability to manipulate gravity in her vicinity. Though whatever she does, she is never affected by her own powers, nor does her actual mass change. She can use her power to negate her personal gravity so she can hover effortlessly in the air - or even 'fall' at high speeds at any direction - using these two aspects to basically 'fly' in a way. She can even propel herself feet-first as a high-speed kinetic missile to deal devastating physical blows.
She can make herself light enough that she can jump like she's on the moon - or so heavy that a kick would hit like a brick truck. She can also 'slide' along the ground with a focused gravity vector like it's on ice. Of course, which way her personal gravity field pulls her is up to her discretion. She can stand on walls or ceilings just as easily as a floor.
PORTALS
Rift can use her gravity powers to tear open a small portal that she can use to travel from one place to another. She has to know her location intimately to focus the portal... or it be in line of sight... but once established, it creates an aperture about ten feet in diameter. It requires most of Rift's concentration to hold the portal open, and her presence at one end or another. Once she stops focusing on it or leaves its vicinity, it closes.
SPACEWORTHY
Kitora's abilities are useful outside the normal environments that people live in. While her powers are on, environmental effects don't matter. She can travel underwater no differently than in air, and can even survive outer space without protection and generate her own gravity field even if there's none to manipulate. Without having to fight the pull of Earth's gravity, her speed is greatly accelerated, up to 10,000 MPH. However, it takes more effort to sustain her own life-support this way... she can survive an hour at most without protection. (Longer with a spacesuit obviously.)
SUPER SPEED
Though no speedster, Rift can use her gravity-shifting abilities for more than just fighting. She has a variety of means of travel at her disposal, other than portals. Her flying speed can be clocked at 500 mph at top speed (though it takes more effort that way), and she can use her gravity slide to travel at close to 50 mph while on the ground. She can also decrease her weight to simply make running more effective, or to do prodigious leaps that'd make a lunar astronaut jealous.
Skills
It took Kitora a time to find a martial art that suited her unique fighting style of acrobatics and powerful legs. She chose Capoeira due to its agility and kicking ability. She has honed her legs into being deadly weapon - she also wears heavy-soled shoes to deliver that much more kicking power - with this, she can weave and dodge her way across a battlefield and deliver devastating kicks. She can also amplify her weight to make her blows even MORE devastating. A kick from her will not be soon forgotten.
COOKING
Kitora has a voracious appetite ever since her powers awakened - a more recent interest of her is cooking - she has a varied taste and knows how to cook a variety of meals - she even gets summer jobs cooking for fine restaurants.
GOOD STUDENT
Though Kitora doesn't like being cooped up indoors at school, nonetheless she's an excellent student and routinely aces all her classes. She is a quick study on new subjects and a fast reader, able to pick up on new subject material quickly.
GYMNASTICS
Kitora's body is a finely tuned instrument - she has trained all her life in gymnastics. She can balance her weight on a finger, and knows how to manipulate her mind and body in three dimensions. She never suffers from vertigo, no matter how much she is twisted around - and knows how to fall - for flying through the air on controlled gravity is much like falling - all the time.
PHYSICS
Kitora has studied physics all her life - figuring out how things work is a passion of hers - especially once she got her mutant powers and she could manipulate gravity, one of the hallmarks of the laws of physics - it made her even MORE interested - in order to control something, you have to understand it.
Resources
Kitora has made some extra income by working part-time at a local restaurant. It's where she honed her cooking talents and she is rapidly considering an idea at being a full-time chef. But for now - it's a living for a college-bound 18-year-old high school graduate. She does enjoy the friends she has made there, and even the managers are good people.
XAVIER'S SCHOOL
As a student and resident of Xavier's School, she has a place to live, friends to rely on, and the school's staff protect their students from those who would persecute mutants. They can also serve as confidants, counselors, and advisors for a student's future endeavors. Kitora has nowhere else to go - the school is her home now.
Weaknesses
Kitora's normal appearance is slightly unusual with the flame-red hair and eyes, but... when she turns on her powers, things get really strange appearance-wise. Her body and garments glows a dull red color and wash out all other colors, with bright red lines visible inside her body - along her arms and legs, a large 'cluster' of these vein-like lines in the middle of her chest where her heart is, and a smaller cluster in her head, with her eyes glowing bright red. She could look like some kind of demon perhaps.
FAMILY ISSUES
When Kitora's powers kindled out of control, they tore her house apart - and almost crushed her parents. Though they survived, they exiled her for being a 'freak', and none of her family will speak to her anymore. Though the people at the Xavier's School have become her friends and family now, she still longs to rejoin her real family one day - one day that seems to be very very far off.
HEALTH IS POWER
In Kitora's case, this is quite literal. She has to be healthy and fit to use her powers. If sick or poisoned or otherwise incapacitated, she can lose her focus needed to turn her powers on. Poison gas would be an effective deterrent for darts could be deflected by her defense fields. But if physically injured or incapacitated, it could be possible to shut her down.
HUNGER
Kitora's abilities require a lot of energy to use - that means food. Kitora's appetite is rather legendary - she eats like a horse - and it's not just gluttony. It's necessary - for if she becomes too famished, her powers may fail her. This can become quite problematic.
