Special Powers: She can acquire the skills of any animal she touches, but she tends to stick with those of the cat due to an incident when she was little. She occasionally will use other animals, but that really only happens when she becomes emotionally unstable and can't control her powers. She doesn't know the full extent yet, but hopefully she will learn about them at the institute.

Biography/History: Since the age of nine she was able to absorb the skills of different animals. But ever since an incident where she lost control of her powers and nearly died, she tries to stick with one species- a cat- which she finds the easiest and to handle. Her parents supported her ever since her powers came to light, and they've told her over and over to never be ashamed of herself, to live in the moment, and help people. Her father died from cancer when she was twelve, and she always wears a silver heart shaped locket around her neck that he gave her. It contains a picture of her parents and her.
Membership: X-men, New Mutants

Weapons: Two staffs made of a strong metal alloy that isn't too heavy but can pack quite a punch. If necessary, V.J. uses her claws.
Anything else?: She likes being around people and is addicted to apple juice and music. Her iPod is her "precious." When she gets nervous, she tends to trip over her own feet. V.J. is mortally afraid of needles and thunderstorms.
