Fictional Character Biography
Born and raised in a small midwestern town, Edie often felt like a stranger in the presence of her own father. Restless and eager for bigger, better things, she became pregnant by a young drifter when she was fifteen. Edie confessed to her parents when she could no longer hide the signs, and soon discovered the truth about her own parentage: she herself was the daughter of an anonymous drifter whom her mother slept with, and the man who raised her as her father was unable to have children. Instead of disowning Edie, her parents formed an elaborate lie to protect her. She was pulled out of school under the ruse of an illness, and her mother began putting a pillow under her dress to pretend that she was pregnant. Thus, when the child was born she would be raised as Edie's sister rather than her daughter. Edie's power of teleportation fully manifested when she first looked at her daughter's face and felt a powerful urge to "get away." She appeared atop the Hollywood sign in Los Angeles.
A few years later, Edie returns to Los Angeles to make her fortune. She struggles as a waitress and an actress until she became smitten with X-Force leader Zeitgeist and decides to try out for the team. She perfected her "aim" with her teleportation and came up with the codename "Tele-Girl"; she became U-Go Girl after she accidentally flashed a crowd during her team tryout and someone screams, "You go, girl!"

Famous quotes containing the words fictional, character and/or biography:
“One of the proud joys of the man of letters—if that man of letters is an artist—is to feel within himself the power to immortalize at will anything he chooses to immortalize. Insignificant though he may be, he is conscious of possessing a creative divinity. God creates lives; the man of imagination creates fictional lives which may make a profound and as it were more living impression on the world’s memory.”
—Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
“Our character is not so much the product of race and heredity as of those circumstances by which nature forms our habits, by which we are nurtured and live.”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
“Just how difficult it is to write biography can be reckoned by anybody who sits down and considers just how many people know the real truth about his or her love affairs.”
—Rebecca West [Cicily Isabel Fairfield] (1892–1983)
