Aurora was a split personality
of Jeanne-Marie Beaubier.
Beaubier's split-personalities came about as a result of harsh physical and
mental abuse at a Catholic boarding school. Although the Aurora personality
underwent several changes over the years, as a rule it was much more
uninhibited than the Jeanne-Marie personality.
The Aurora personality was
in control for the majority of the time that Beaubier acted as a
member of Alpha Flight. "She" and the main
personality struggled for dominance at various times and to varying
degrees.
When Beaubier was forcibly
recruited into the Weapon X program she underwent psychological conditioning.
The conditioning seemingly eliminated her multiple personality disorder.
Although Jeanne-Marie was freed from Weapon X's control, Aurora has yet to
put in any kind of sustained appearance.
Aurora possessed numerous super-human abilities. For a full description,
please see the
Jeanne-Marie entry.
