She has also been subjected to conditioning in which a specific "trigger scent" has been used to send her into a berserker rage, killing anything in sight; She is also highly educated and so far has displayed that she is fluent in French and Japanese.
Life so far: (aka character History) (first six paragraphs from wikipedia))
A top-secret program is tasked to replicate the original Weapon X experiment that produced the feral mutant Wolverine. The project is taken in a new direction: Doctor Martin Sutter recruits renowned mutant geneticist Doctor Sarah Kinney to develop a clone of Wolverine.
Since the only genetic sample from Weapon X is damaged, Kinney is unable to salvage the Y chromosome. Kinney proposes the creation of a female clone; her request is denied. Sutter's protégé Doctor Zander Rice, whom he has raised after Rice's father was killed by the original Weapon X, is opposed to the idea. After 22 failed attempts at cloning using a duplicate X chromosome, the 23rd sample yields a viable embryo. Although Kinney is allowed to proceed, Rice exacts revenge for her insubordination by forcing her to act as the surrogate mother of the clone. For nine months, Kinney's every move is monitored; finally, she gives birth to "X-23".
Cover to X-23: Innocence Lost #2. Art by Billy Tan.After seven years, Rice subjects X-23 to radiation poisoning in order to activate her mutant gene. He extracts her claws, coats them with adamantium, and reinserts them back into her hands and feet - a procedure performed without affording the child any anesthetic. Rice creates a "trigger scent" that drives X-23 into a murderous rage when she detects it.
Kinney's niece Megan is abducted by a serial killer; she smuggles X-23 out of the facility to rescue the girl. X-23 tracks the abductor to his apartment, kills him, and frees Megan. Kinney is fired when she returns and is escorted off the base.
Rice assigns X-23 to eliminate Sutter and his family; he orders her to keep it secret. However, the girl reveals to Sarah that Rice is responsible for the murders. Before Kinney leaves, Rice reveals a chamber containing the incubation pods for X-24 through X-50.
Kinney drafts a letter to her daughter, assigning her a final mission: destroy the pods and kill Rice. X-23 succeeds and meets her mother; the two prepare to flee. However, prior to his death, Rice exposed Kinney to the trigger scent; X-23 goes into a murderous frenzy and kills her mother. As she lies dying, Kinney tells X-23 that her name is Laura, and hands her the letter and pictures of Wolverine.
After her mother finally passed Laura ran and ran and didn't stop until she was miles away. Stopping to catch her breath she fell to the ground and looked at the pictures. She looks at the back and she saw that it said "Wolverine. X-Men" Puzzled by it she folded it and put it in her pocket and looked up to the stars. She closed her eyes and for the first time ever a tear fell. She was alone now nothing left to do but maybe find this Wolverine to figure things out.
Thirty some years later Laura has showed up in Las Vegas after hearing about a new school called West-X. Was the X just a coincidence or was it a link to the mysterious Wolverine?
Intro Post
Laura sat crouching on top of a building in scenic Las Vegas. She thought back on her mother, the only person who ever cared about her. The one who had named her Laura. Not the other bastards who had called her X-23 her entire life. She frowned and took in a deep breath hoping to find a mutant scent, that was the only lead she could follow a mutant one hoping it would lead her to the mysterious Wolverine. Was he her father? Brother? Or was he something entirely different. Only time would tell.
