AURORA
Real Name: Aurora
Legal Identity: Jeanne-Marie Beaubier
Group Affiliation: Former member of Alpha Flight, former associate of The Brotherhood
First Appearance: Uncanny X-Men #120
Origin: Alpha Flight #9
Creator: John Byrne

        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.
