MAYA/GAWAIN MORRIS
aka MIRROR

People in mirror are closer than they appear.

HISTORY
Mirror was born to an absent father and a shapeshifter mother. S/he had been switching gender even before s/he was born; Mom organized her child a life in which s/he lived as the twins Maya and Gawain. All things considered, Mirror had a happy childhood, being homeschooled by Mom and taught everything s/he needed to know to survive as a mutant in the world of humans.

When s/he turned 13, Mirror woke up one day and Mom was gone. She never showed up again. The child has been looking for her for over 3 years now; thanks to his/her newly discovered second mutation - the ability to walk in mirrors - s/he searched through half of the continent from mirror to mirror, till s/he finally arrived to New York City.

Things changed there. First there was Rupert, who hated the kid to death, but still didn't shoot him, and in the last couple of months he became a substitute for an unknown father figure. Then there was Twyla, and Gawain got dangerously close to experiencing his first teenage crush. Then there was the School for muties, and even though it took Mirror a lot of extra rounds to convince himself/herself, with the help of others like Ghost-Maya, finally s/he moved in to the Mansion before Christmas, just after his 17th birthday.

And then there were dances, and friendships, and birthdays, and holidays, and big ass clay monsters, and drinks, and winks, and adventures to no end.

And the show goes on...

POWERS
Mirror has two mutations: one is the shifting inherited from Mom. Mirror shifts gender automatically every night; one day she's Maya, other day he's Gawain. Same person, same mind, same attitude, same charm, ladies and gentlemen, it's just the gender that changes. The possibilities are endless.
His/her main ability (and the one that s/he likes best) is mirrorwalking. S/he can walk in and out of any reflecting surface. S/he can also take over people's reflections and animate them while in the mirror. It. Is. Fun.

POSTS TO SEE
The glass that looks - Mirror arrives in New York City, gets into trouble, ends up bleeding onto Rupert's bathroom floor who is not happy about it, and decides to shoot the brat. Is he really the cold-hearted mutant-hater he thinks he is?...
(The saga continues in Prodigal daughter, prodigal son, where Rupert finally meets the Other Half...)

Jammin'-Walkin'-Prancin'-Dancin'-Feelin' SO Good - A girl names Maya meets a girl named Twyla. Both of them are hiding something, but that doesn't stop them from having a world of fun, including Chinese food and rolling around in a pile of autumn leaves.

Mirror, Mirror, Off the Ball - Sir Gawain's first experience with adapteds. Two of them. Both girls. Half naked. In a changing room. Uh-oh...

Maleficen't reflection - Sir Gawain walks into the life of one desperate single office supply manipulator via the bathroom mirror. He has nooo idea what he's gotten himself into...
