Life as a Mercenary
Alizée is the daughter of François LeBradoq, a highly decorated former French Army General, and Amalia LeBradoq (née Shammapandour), an Israeli forensic medic. Her family was set in Montpellier, France, where she spent most of her life until her teenage years where her desire to be her best self in every aspect (a trait she inherited from her father) made her become a fierce warrior. After spending years training in Krav Maga, Taek-Won-Do and Ninjitsu, she excelled her physical abilities to the human peak, becoming the "perfect warrior" in her own mind.
Developing her Mutant Powers
During her work as a mercenary for a private military company, she had developed her "special weapon" in her expertise: psychic abilities. She started developing this power during her teenaged years, mastering its craft over time and applying it in her work, allowing her to read her opponents' minds and have the upper hand in battle.
A Deadly Mission and Betrayal
After spending time developing her powers, she was assigned to a dangerous mission in the Middle East, assisting the European Forces, however, while reading the minds of the insurgents, she discovered a person who was blocking her mental powers. The team embarked in full force, but one by one the soldiers fell, except for Alizée, who defended her ground and defeated every soldier. She reached the leader, but before she could attack, a psychic blast hit her, which caused her to fall into unconsciousness.
Two days later she woke up tied down and physically tortured, face to face with the leader, who unmasked himself. He was none other than her own father, who explained that he knew all along about her powers and that he also had psychic abilities. He revealed that he left the French Army years ago and formed his own radical group in order to "feed from the action he craved for so long" and that having a family would be only a hindrance, and he proved it by leaving his daughter to be tortured by his men.
Fighting Back
During another torture session, François revealed to Alizée that the reason he betrayed the French Army was because he was tired of "playing the good husband and father" and craved for action, but the French Army refused to grant him another mission due to his age, so he formed a secret private military agency so he could engage in dangerous activities. His wife was strongly against it, having already lost her daughter to the profession, and since she was an only child, no one could stop him from assassinating his wife. Thanks to years of military experience, he managed to avoid suspicion by planting fabricated evidence of a serial killer. The pain of losing her mother drove Alizèe to a rampant fury, which also manifested her latest ability: psychic projections of large, powerful and blades, which she nicknamed "Críme" and "Châtiment" (which is Crime and Punishment in French) which she used to pierce the man she once called father. They didn't just block his psychic abilities, but also left him brain dead, shutting down all of the cerebral activities.
Joining the X-Men
After she managed to escape the prison, she returned home, only to find out that her father's body was found and the French government called a manhunt on Alizée (due to her blood found on her father's body) since her father was a very decorated military member. With nowhere to go, she wandered through Europe until she was found by Henry McCoy. Although Alizée was ready for a fight, Henry managed to talk to her long enough to calm her down. He invited her to meet his friends, led by Xavier, who said that he understood Alizée's situation and was willing to help her achieve the full potential of her abilities. Though she felt that she had already reached her potential, she agreed to join Xavier's team since that meant she would receive asylum, and even took the nickname of "Psylocke".
