Sooraya's dust form

Sooraya without her abaya

Quirks: Dust is a devout Sunni Muslim. She always observes hijab because of the modesty it affords her from men.

History:

Dust is a mutant from Afghanistan. She was taken into captivity by slave traders who planned to sell her off as a mutant slave. When her captors attempted to remove her headdress, she lashed out at them, turning into her dust form and stripping flesh from their bodies.

Wolverine had also been out to locate her, and assisted in killing the remainder of her would-be captors and getting her to the safety at one of his acquaintances' house in Mumbai. While Wolverine was sleeping and allowing himself to heal, she turned into her dust form, hiding all around the room. Jean Grey recognized telepathically that she was there and attempted to comfort her, but she would only say one thing: Turaab (meaning "Dust").

Instead of wearing a traditional X-Uniform, she decided to keep her traditional clothing, an abaya and a niqab veil.
