Biography
Amanda and her mother Margali are witches. When Nightcrawler joined the X-Men, Jimaine followed him, assuming the identity of Amanda Sefton, and became his girlfriend. When Margali attacked the X-Men, believing Nightcrawler to have been responsible for the death of Stefan Szardos, her son and Jimaine's brother, "Amanda" revealed herself as Jimaine, convinced her mother to let Kurt live, and resumed her on-and-off relationship with him.
Years later, Jimaine (having fully Anglicized her name to Amanda) joined an interim team of "X-Men" that was organized at Moira MacTaggert's Muir Island facility, and eventually came to join Excalibur under the codename Daytripper. During this time, she obtained the Soulsword from Shadowcat, and after Excalibur's dissolution she came to rule Magik's Limbo (not to be confused with Immortus' Limbo), and took the title of Magik for herself.
She remains an ally of the X-Men, particularly Nightcrawler.
