Standing at almost 173 cm, it is quite likely that her Asian roots are mixed. That likelihood is increased when her violet eyes are noticed, too deep to be blue, but not nearly dark enough to be the customary black of a pure-blooded Asian.

|History=In Prograss
|History=Elizabeth Braddock was born in terribly unusual circumstances. Her father (James Braddock), an extra-dimensional knight posing as a research scientist (also part of the Captain Britain Corps), and her mother an aristocrat. Both were lost tragically when they were murdered by a supercomputer named Mastermind, which was created by her father. Betsy has two brothers Jamie and Brian (her twin). They have been through many of their own adventures, with doppelgangers from other dimensions and all sorts of craziness that her father had gotten tangled up in through his association with S.T.R.I.K.E.
<br><br>
Suffice to say, Betsy had already been through far too much before she even met the X-Men. Even then, half of that time, her powers were in utero. She only had discovered her telekinetic and telepathic abilities only after her brain was controlled by Dr. Synne. That whole debacle deserves its own epic account, but that was not even the pivoting point in Betsy's life. Little did she know of what the future held in store for her. She tried to leave everything behind after that moment and become a model.
<br><br>
It was during this time as a model that Betsy made contact with a S.T.R.I.K.E. Psi Agent (since she still had her powers from Dr. Synne's attempt to control her mind). She got caught up in the agency that her father had worked with, and became heavily involved in their operations. While maintaining two identities, this is where Betsy Braddock learned SpecOps approaches to operations and became incredibly skilled in the strike-team approach to her missions. After some very close calls, and being rescued by her brother Brian (Captain Britain), Betsy decided to step down from S.T.R.I.K.E., and return home to Braddock manor (which had been repaired).
<br><br>
However, life was not content to leave Betsy alone. Her brother Brian fought an alternate dimension version of himself, Kaptain Briton, and lost. This doppelganger tried to take his place and take advantage of Betsy. This alternate version did not live very long. In a fit of rage and anger, Betsy fried this imposter's brain with a wave of psychic energy, killing him and rescuing her brother. This was when S.T.R.I.K.E. approached her again (when her brother refused to help them, for whatever reasons), and asked her to take up the mantle of Captain Britain. She agreed, and using the old costume of Kaptain Briton, assumed the title of defender of Britain.
<br><br>
Eventually, this lead to several complicated situations. Brian's enemy, Vixen, lead Betsy into a trap, and Slaymaster beat her brutally. This caused Brian, the original Captain Britain, to come to his sister's rescue. This, however, only happened because Brian felt his sister's pain, when Slaymaster and Vixen tore out her eyes. She refused to receive cybernetic eyes and was sent away to recover at Xavier University, where through her connections, she could secure a place to stay and perfect her telepathic abilities from Professor X to train her "sight without eyes." Of course, Betsy's adventurous side meant she could not sit still for long. She went on many missions with the X-Men helping them out. However, again, life would take a drastic turn.
<br><br>
Betsy does not remember much of this, as she had died during a battle with Sabretooth, because she was gutted. The X-Men, supposedly, acquired a potion from the dimension of the Crimson Dawn that brought Betsy back from the dead, but marked with the otherworldliness of the other dimension, allowing her to travel in the shadows and forming a red tattoo over her right eye. After being resurrected, everyone decided that it would be best if Betsy took some time off (and she agreed). She was sent to the Swiss Alps to recover and recuperate (she still did not have use of her eyes, but used her telepathic abilities to see).
<br><br>
But Betsy's decision didn't get to be an issue for long, as Betsy was kidnapped by the otherworldly being known as Mojo, given cybernetic eyes that were also cameras, given the codename "Psylocke" and made to star in her own show for a time until she made her escape.
|Personality=Considering that Psylocke is a magical amalgamation of two very different women, to say Psylocke's personality can be a little erratic is putting it mildly. Betsy was warm, cheerful, a little arrogant and a lot adventurous. Kwannon was cold, calculating, blunt to the point of being tactless, and perhaps just a little heartless. This means that there are times that Psylocke can be rather affable and other times that she can be rather aloof, and there is no telling which version of her you are going to get at any given moment.<BR><BR>Between her adventurous nature from one part of her and her killer instinct from the other, Psylocke can be very decisive, especially when in the heat of battle. Once a decision is made, there is very little keeping her from acting upon said decision immediately. Add to that that both personalities were willing to kill and Psylocke is a force to be reckoned with.<BR><BR>However, for all her flaws, Psylocke's melded personalities have their good sides to. She is loyal, almost to a fault. She has a maternal instinct for small children, letting them see a softer side of her then most ever get to. It is said around the halls of Xavier's that Psylocke is the perfect person to go to when you have nightmares, because she is scarier than the nightmares themselves.<BR><BR>She comes across as a bit of a health nut, as both her daily exercise regime and her strict dietary plan are adhered to with an almost religious fanaticism.

Profile

A strong and confident psychic with a short fuse and deadly ninja skills. To most, she is just another pretty face in the modelling industry. To those who are close to her, it's hard to predict which one of Betsy's melded souls they're going to be dealing with.
