Sofia Mantega was born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela. Sofia has the mutant power to manipulate the wind. There she lived with her Mother, Miranda Mantega until her Mother was accidentally killed strikers were rioting against the Chavistas. The Chavistas were supporting their president Hugo Chavez, and the strikers were prostesting it. Her Uncle Paolo sent her to live with her biological Father, Walter Barrett, whom she'd never met, or knew of. Walter knew nothing of her, as well, but allowed her to stay with him

Walter was a very wealthy owner of a successful business chain. He forced her to learn English quickly before she attended the local High School. He was a cold and loveless Father to her. After forgetting about her birthday, Sofia decided to do something to gain her Father's attention. She wrecked one of his stores with her wind manipulation, carefully not hurting anyone, only the store. This act was covered by several of the local news crews, and landed her in police custody, where her Father was going to leave her.

On of the viewers of the newscast, was Danielle Moonstar. Danielle arrived at the Police station with an offer to take Sofia to Xavier's Institute for Higher Learning. After finally agreeing, Sofia was released and her and Danielle headed to the Institute. Since arriving at the school, she has grown by making friends such as Laurie Collins and David Alleyne.

Wind Dancer was depowered during the M-Day and the energies that she used to control were then drawn to the Collective.

Sofia could mentally command the wind, allowing her to raise herself and objects off the ground or create forceful blasts of wind. She could affect the balance of someone by compressing the air around them. Sofia could also bring far away noises and sounds to her ears on the wind, such as conversations among other sounds.

There was complications, which I don't want to go into, so I deleted this and Laurie Collins bios. Do not fear after editing there will be plenty of New New Mutants bios up shortly.

.

And once my comp with a scanner is fixed, headshots will be added.

She appeared in New X-Men: Academy X #2 and was given her codename, Wind Dancer, at the school assembly.

And you could change her Group Affiliation to New Mutants Squad at Xavier's Institute.

Major allies should include Wallflower, Prodigy IV, Surge III, Elixir and Icarus, all the New Mutants Squad.

Added even though it was covered IMO by listing the Squad in Group Affiliations.

I'd say the squad covers it...

Otherwise, it would be like listing the X-Men as allies, and then listing every single member... ever...
