Belldandy Wodendottir was a mutant of great power. Her power was simple and versatile.
The human body produced a great degree of bio-energy. Vast amounts of energy in the form of heat, electricity, chemicals and other types. Belldandy could manipulate that energy within herself (and others, to a limited degree) to produce a vareity of effects from energy blasts and force fields to a healing touch and even temporarily animating non-living material.
The use of her powers, of course placed great strain on her own body, and if she tried to much, she would fall into a deep sleep, almost a coma, until she had recovered the burned energy.
Having grown up in Sweden with such imported works of literature as Lord of the Rings and Conan the Barbarian, it was almost inevitable that she developed the habit of "casting spells" to help her focus her attempts to control her power.
She came to the conclusion that the "gods" of the past must have been earlier mutants and that she, like them, bore a responsibility to the world to use her powers to protect others. The fact that her and her sisters were named after the Norns of myth was not lost on her and she took it as a sign from the heavens above.
She had come to Japan several years before, studying the Shinto religion, and had met Keiichi there. It was as if fate and the creator above had guided her there.
Keiichi may have been a normal human, but he possessed a determination and adaptability that more than made up for his lack of powers. Keiichi possessed a keenly brilliant mind when it came to engineering and, in the years since she met him, his talent, his genius had grown.
It was her and Keiichi together that had funded the creation of the Yggdrasil Academy. Where Belldandy could teach other mutants about how to use their powers for the betterment of mankind. She smiled in memory of those early times, trying to keep what they were doing at this old shrine a secret.
Belldandy smiled at her boyfriend, though she still remained tense and worried.
"Huginn can still find no trace of Xavier's bio-energy," Belldandy said, speaking of the variation of Cerebro that Xavier had helped her build. "And there is no record of anything Muninn about what could block him...except death. If we've lost Xavier..."
"I'm sure he's fine," Keiichi comforted her. "Come on, we have our own kids to watch over." Belldandy nodded.
"I'll gather the children," Belldandy said. "You find the faculty."
