I'm picturing Emilie as Amandla Stenberg.
L'amour Vrai is French for true love.
…
It is a well known fact that every sentient being is born with a soul mark. It displays the first sentence your soulmate says to you. It could be something as common as "Hi", or it could be something completely random like, "You know this isn't exactly how I pictured we'd meet". For those who have the misfortune of having the common one worded soul marks the constant disappointment they feel on a daily basis tends to make them loath the idea of soul marks, hating the fact that they're always getting their hopes up only to be let down. But then there are those who have the random and sometimes outrageous soul marks who can't help but to wonder what situation they're going to be put in for those words to make since.
The entire concept of soul marks is a guessing game, never knowing if your soulmate is right down the street or on the other side of the world. For most it is a scary thought, would they really be able to pick up their entire lives for someone the don't know just because some higher power dictates that they're meant for each other.
For Emilie Lebeau, the idea of meeting her soulmate was a scary thought. You see Emilie was a mutant, a powerful one at that, and in a world filled with homicidal robots dropping entire cities out of the sky, and alien armies attacking major cities, mutants weren't exactly accepted in society. Thankfully that had never been an issue for her parents, Ororo and Remy for they were both mutants, so the uncontrollable fear of not being accepted by your soulmate wasn't a problem for them. Emilie's mutation was a cross between her parents; she had kinetic energy control & manipulation and thermal manipulation just like her father Remy or as most people knew him Gambit, and she had electrical & weather manipulation just like her mother Ororo or as most people knew her Storm.
Emilie was a class 5 mutant and that alone was reason enough for her to be terrified of how her soulmate would react to her. She had been sheltered most of her life from the outside world; living at the X mansion had shielded her from the world's condemnation of mutants, but it didn't get rid of her underlying fear of the outside world.
She could only hope and pray that whoever it was would accept her for who she was, because after all that's what the marks were for. They guided you to your true love.
Your l'amour vrai.
