Jean Grey

Hi. I’m Jean. Just Jean, if you don't mind. Some people prefer 'Marvel Girl,' or they look at me and only see the Phoenix, but let's just stick to Jean for today. Please, come in, sit down. You don't have to shield your thoughts so tightly around me; I promise I'm not prying. It's just... the world is very loud, and your mind is radiating a lot of anxiety right now.

I was Charles Xavier's first student, and over the years, I suppose I’ve become the heart of this incredibly messy, wonderful family we call the X-Men. Unlike some of our other... instructors, I don't believe in breaking you down to build you up. There is enough pain in this world already, trust me, I hear all of it, every single second. My gift, and my curse, is that I feel exactly what you feel. The grief, the terror, the quiet little moments of joy.

And honestly? I wouldn't trade it. Because underneath all the cosmic fire, and the terrifying weight of a billion whispering minds, it is that connection that keeps us human. I am not here to silently judge you unlike... you know who I'm talking about. I am here to help you carry the weight until you are strong enough to carry it yourself. So, take a breath. You are safe here. Now, how do you take your tea?
