Bling!
Bling! is a comic book character that first appeared in X-Men #171
Bling! was a member of Gambit's Squad up until they disbanded following M-Day. She is now an active X-Man-in-training.
Origin and history
An overall good student who displayed much responsibility, leadership, and initiative, she was the de facto leader (if not, in fact, the official leader) of her student training squad that was mentored by Gambit.
Bizarre Love Triangle
Mystique as Foxx
When Foxx was revealed to be longtime X-Men foe Mystique in disguise, Bling! broke the news to Onyxx. Onyxx refused to believe what Bling! said and nearly attacked her. However, Bling! could do nothing when he tried to confront Mystique in her cell, where she rendered him unconscious with a near-lethal blow to the head.
Decimation

Shortly after, the school was attacked by William Styker's Purifiers, resulting in the deaths of several students. When Elixir was suspended from the training squad for attacking a teacher, Bling! was the first to be asked to replace him due to her experience working with the X-Men. However, due to the dangers of the school and the death that surrounded them, Bling! refused and contemplated leaving the school altogether with Onyxx.
Blood of Apocalypse
When several members of Havok's X-Men squadron left the team--including her former mentor Gambit--to join the Horsemen of Apocalypse, Bling! did not hesitate to assist the X-Men in infiltrating and investigating Apocalypse's temple, which had emerged a few miles from the school.
Along with the group, they were able to diffuse the situation and recovered Polaris, who was brainwashed into joining the Horsemen.
Utopia
Bling! is one of the more active students to take a role in calming the riots caused by Simon Trask and his Humanity Now! Coalition's anti-mutant riots surrounding Proposition X, a pending law that would strictly monitor mutant breeding.
Along with Karma and Angel, she tried to stop Frenzy and Nekra from exasperating the situation. She later tries to stop Moonstone (dressed as Ms. Marvel), who arrived to respond to the aggressive mutants, from killing Nekra. During the final battle, she and Frenzy get revenge against the "Dark" Ms. Marvel.
To combat Norman Osborn's power over the U.S. government, the X-Men then move to an island dubbed Utopia. Made out of the remains of Magneto's former home base, Asteroid M, the X-Men are now within their own jurisdiction.
X-Men: Legacy
When the X-Men were attacked by the vampiric mutant known as Emplate (brother to former X-Man Monet St. Croix), the students were instructed to be in high alert and were told to never stray far from the others. Irritated with the idiocy and immaturity of Hellion and Onyxx, Bling! drifted off on her own.
Due to his hunger of mutant bone marrow, Emplate captured Bling, specifically for her ability to generate an infinite amount of crystalline bone marrow from her body. He then held her prisoner and fed off of her, much like he had done many years ago to Penance.
Bling tried to escape and attacked Emplate and his lackey D.O.A. While she was able to
Recently she was taken by Emplate, he stated that she reminds him of Penance/Monet. During the initial meeting, she lanched her shards, one hitting D.O.A. directly in the head. Emplate has feed on her several times already. During one of Roxy's encounters with Emplate she was able to get information from Emplate by stroking his ego. Rogue went to go save her using Trance's powers.
Powers and abilities
Bling! is a mutant with a crystalline body, granting her superhuman durability. She is able to manipulate the shape and quality of diamonds that protrude from her body, which are formed by her bone marrow, and expel them from her body at high speeds.
Given her abilities, it is possible she has limited shapeshifting abilities as well.
