- Name: Nahla Amin
Allias: Belladonna
Age: 25
Gender/Gender Preference: Female
Nationality/Race: Indian-American
Affiliation: X-Men
Appearance: Priyanka Chopra
Personality: To the outside world, Nahla tends to be described by others as cold, among other adjectives - quiet, stoic, poised, elegant, disconnected, heartless, ruthless, deadly. Rarely will the woman ever let her guard down or allow for her emotions to cloud her judgement. This, in part, could be a result of her 'upbringing', where any indication of being human (ie. expressing emotion, weakness) was essentially discouraged. Trained to be a fighter and a killer, Nahla’s greatest weapon is not her physical prowess or her mutant abilities… what makes her so dangerous is her mind and the flexibility of her thought processes.

Power Strengths: In conjunction with her physical training, Nahla’s ability to augment her own physical capabilities makes her a worthy and dangerous opponent on the battlefield, much like any “supersoldier”-type hero.
Power Weaknesses: The greatest flaw of Nahla’s ability is its weakness to other energy-based or psionic-based attacks. Things like psi-blades or energy constructs are capable of damaging/piercing/breaking Nahla’s protective exoskeleton. In addition, if there are any flaws in the exoskeleton, physical trauma may also be capable of breaking her exoskeleton. In addition, while it may be true that Nahla is capable of absorbing and converting most forms of energy, her body can only handle so much before the buildup of metabolic byproduct increases to the point of fatigue.
History: Raised an orphan in a government facility, Nahla was one of many children that, after being genetically screened and determined positive for the X-gene, was forcefully chosen to take part in the military's neo-bioweapon initiative. As such, Nahla's was a childhood that vastly differed from that of most children. From the day she could walk to the day she 'graduated', Nahla underwent grueling training that pushed her to the absolute limits in more ways than one could ever imagine... not that anyone ever cared. Besides, these were orphans, abandoned and left in the care of the state with no records. Nonexistent. Government property. This was the only life that Nahla had known - a painful and at times near-lethal upbringing that dulled her humanity but sharpened her mind and body. By the age of 16, Nahla had 'graduated' from the program to become a full-fledged government-controlled weapon, ready to carry on the so-called "agenda of the people". It wasn't until Nahla's first encounter with the X-Men that she finally found the strength to betray her makers. Nahla has been associated with the X-Men ever since, promising to protect mutant-kind from exploitation and to guide the students at Xavier's Academy where needed.
