History: 

Dalila was born and raised Dunkirk, Tennessee, a small town west of Nashville. She was the youngest of 3 daughters. On September 11, 2001 the news was brought to her on the attack of the World Trade Center. Her oldest sister worked in the building. The grief and shock caused her mutation to come out. Not only did her family have to deal with the loss in the family but also with a daughter being a mutant. For years Dalila was kept inside and in the backyard, fortunately the family owned a lot of land. She remained alone most of the time, for fear of hurting people, like when she sent her mother to the hospital during a mourning embrace.

Dalila lived her life for several years outside mainly, making friends with plants, the only things she could touch for they were immune to her toxins and she felt like she belonged with them. Her parents were made aware of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters via mail and quickly talked to the headmaster and arranged for Dalila to join in hope of being able to some day control her mutation.
