At school -- a small Islamic school outside of DC -- she had an interpreter, and while she had to deal with a fair bit of teasing and a fair bit of difficulty connecting to other students who did not have the patience to deal with note-writing or interpreting, by and large her life was happy. Always involved in Too Many Things, she was active in sports, loved to dance, loved to play drums.

After a year of unsuccessfully trying to integrate into public school, Yasin came to the attention of Xavier's School, attending there for his final two years of high school and continuing on to study in the city at Columbia, where he is currently a junior.

Though not a mutant herself, her mother teaching at the school means a steep discount for Lyric; she is one of Xavier's only two current human students. It's likely that in two more years when he is old enough, her younger brother will join her there; for now, he goes to public elementary school in Salem. Being one of the only humans in a school full of mutants is a strange experience. Lyric tends to respond by telling people who inevitably ask (over and over) that her superpower is not having to hear their questions. Alternatively, making up increasingly esoteric powers for herself.

How can we know the dancer from the dance?
Introduction

xxxxxPretty normal kid in a pretty abnormal world.

Description

xxxxxSlender and and willowy, Lyric stands an average 5'5" of lean limbs and few curves. Her warm brown skin is usually impeccably made up, her deep brown eyes, wide mouth, rounded nose, round face, generally framed with brightly colored and intricately wrapped headscarves. She carries herself tall, a confident energy to her bearing and movement.

History

xxxxxBorn the second of four children to a pair of Somali refugees living in Maryland, Lyric has had a largely uneventful life. Born deaf, this never became much of an impediment to her early life; with two Deaf parents and a Deaf older brother, her entire family and much of her surrounding community signed. At school -- a small Islamic school outside of DC -- she had an interpreter, and while she had to deal with a fair bit of teasing and a fair bit of difficulty connecting to other students who did not have the patience to deal with note-writing or interpreting, by and large her life was happy. Always involved in Too Many Things, she was active in sports, loved to dance, loved to play drums.

It was her elder brother's manifestation as a mutant that prompted the first major upheaval of her life. Though her family was quite supportive, his school was not; when Lyric was nine they moved north to New York City to seek an environment for him where more people would understand and be able to deal with his mutation. After a year of unsuccessfully trying to integrate into public school, Yasin came to the attention of Xavier's School, attending there for his final two years of high school and continuing on to study in the city at Columbia, where he is currently a junior.

Her mother, on the other hand, began teaching at Xavier's when Yasin was a student there, forming their ASL classes for the first time. Five years later, and her mother still teaches at Xavier's; her father now works in nearby Salem Center, where he owns a small aquarium supply store.

Though not a mutant herself, her mother teaching at the school means a steep discount for Lyric; she was one of Xavier's only two current human students before graduating last year.

Skills

Also quite an excellent drummer, favoring small handdrums over Western-style drumkits, though she is decent on those, too. Excellent at sewing and designing clothes.

Token Minority - One of the only human students at XS, Lyric is kind of a freak by virtue of not being a freak at all.
