Character Name: Oren Ishii (Cottonmouth)
Nationality: Japanese
Age: 21
Power: Manipulation of snakes; can insert poisons into other people by something as simple as a kiss.
Bio: Ishii is an American of Chinese and Japanese heritage. She was born on an American military base in Tokyo, Japan and apparently lived there with her mother and father. Her father's position in the US Military and whether she had ever been to the United States herself are both unknown. When she was nine years old, she witnessed her parents being brutally murdered by a psychotic Yakuza crime lord, Boss Matsumoto, while she hid in terror under her parents' bed. Ishii's father, a martial artist and member of the military, fought off most of their attackers, but was stabbed in the back and in the head. Boss Matsumoto himself then dragged Ishii's mother to the bed and stabbed her as well, almost killing young Ishii as the katana's blade went through the mattress, nearly penetrating Ishii's head. After this, he burned down the house, and little Ishii barely escaped, swearing revenge against Matsumoto. Ishii then spent the remainder of her childhood years training herself to be a ruthless killing machine, vowing to extact justice; she finally got it by posing as a child prostitute and stabbing Boss Matsumoto to death when she was eleven years old. As she plunged the blade of Matsumoto's katana (possibly the same one he used to murder Ishii's mother) through his stomach, she asked him if she reminded him of someone he had killed. After he died, she pulled the katana out of his body and took his gun, using it to kill the underlings who came following his screams. At twenty, Ishii was already one of the world's top assassins. One year later, Ishii became the head of the Tokyo Yakuza, over the objections of the son of one of its founding members, Boss Tanaka, who looked down upon her mixed ethnic makeup. She stifled this criticism by decapitating him instantly. She then told her subordinate bosses that they were free to question her on any of her decisions, and that she would take the time to convince them in a civilized manner. She also stated that no subject was to be "taboo" around her, except the one voiced by Boss Tanaka; if any of them were to bring up her Chinese or American heritage as a negative, she would "collect their head." Ishii also had her own personal army of sword-wielding, masked punks known as the Crazy 88. She ruled over her criminal empire with the help of her lawyer, lieutenant, and best friend, Sofie Fatale. After some time, she realized how pointless it was to continue to kill and she no longer needed to vengance and given up her rank as Yakuza leader to Marikio Yoshida and joined the X-Men in hope of seeking redepmtion. She still isn't completely trusted by most of her colegues and feels completely neutral about the whole idea of a cure for mutants.
Personality: Somewhat uncaring and gruff at the begining, but as she softens to you, Oren can become a great and loyal friend.
