Roxy Washington is daughter of the celebrity couple Roy "Daddy Libido" Washington and Angel "Sexy Mutha" Depres, both were very popular hip hop artists. Having appeared in her parents' rap videos from a young age, Roxy was often targeted by would-be kidnappers and assassins.

Though Destined to follow in her parents' footsteps, she turned her back on the music industry and enrolled as a student at the Xavier Institute under the tutelage of Gambit. At the Institute, she proved herself more interested in improving herself rather than joining in the escalation between humans and mutants . Her school record shows that she appears to be a good and attentive student with a strong sense of responsibility.

As a member of Gambit's squad, Washington was forced to deal with the arrival of newcomer Foxx's infatuation with her teacher, despite being strongly attracted to Foxx herself, until Foxx was revealed to be Mystique. It is unknown whether she is a lesbian or bisexual is not yet to be shown. Bling is one of those who retained thier powers after M-Day. She has been seen helping out with Havok's squad during the Sentinels' arrival and Apocalypse's return due to lack of members, particularly due to Polaris' depowerment, Wolverine's frequent disappearances, and Gambit's betrayal.

As she alone has aided the X-Men on several dangerous missions, it seems that the X-Men find her suitable for those missions. During this time Roxy has revealed recently to Surge that all the time she had a dislike for field missions, she is intimidated by the idea of being a full time X-Team member, and has even contemplated leaving the institute with fellow team mate Onyxx after all the crisis which happened after M-Day such as Stryker's attack on the mansion
