Biography
Childhood
Janet is an only child who grew up in a family semi-accepting of mutants. Her father loves his daughter, but was less than pleased when she grew wings shortly after her 14th birthday and even less pleased when, a year later, she began accidentally shocking people by simply touching them. As she attended Salem High School, know for its anti-mutant reactions as Tommy Jones and Laurie Collins had discovered, she kept these two powers secret.
At seventeen, Janet was reported missing when she seemingly disappeared during a camping trip with friends. The campers had been startled by a bear and believed Janet had slept through the ordeal, but she had actually been so startled that a new aspect of her powers came into play and she shrunk to a one-inch size. Unable to see or hear her, Janet's friends thought she disappeared and told her father. The police were called in and several Xavier's residents decided to help look for the missing teen. Janet stung several of her would-be-rescuers but was simply brushed aside. It was not until her father finally revealed that Janet was a mutant that the Xavier's residents realized they could be looking at a powers mishap. However, it was only when Janet started screaming at Theresa Cassidy that she was finally heard and Janet was safely brought back home. Unsure of what to do with a miniscule daughter who did not know how to become human-sized once more, Vernon allowed Janet to stay at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters so they could help her out.
Living At The X-Mansion
Jan settled in quickly at the school, despite the handicap posed by her tiny size. Unable to be heard by anyone except those with enhanced hearing and terrified of being squashed, she communicated largely via the journal system, jumping from key to key to type. She re-established contact with her former boyfriend, Tommy Jones, and made friends. A slight increase in size meant she was able to communicate more easily, and Forge helped with tiny computer keyboards for her to use. During Easter she became known as the Peep Fairy when she sprinkled crumbed pieces of the candy on various people.
As a result of this prank, Jan was assigned a presentation on the History of Peeps, to be given during lunch. The talk became somewhat more dramatic than expected when Jan regained her full size during it. After speaking to her father, she returned home to complete her high school year at her normal school.
During her first year of college, Jan was asked to become an RA at Xavier's. She moved into the room formerly occupied by Marie D'Ancato, sharing a suite with Danielle Moonstar, although she continued to keep a dorm room and alternated nights between the dorm room and the mansion. The following year, she began living at the mansion full-time, eventually having a suite of her own and finding herself as the sole RA after Dani went missing. While Dani returned to the mansion and later took on her role as RA again, Dani did not move back into her old room.
