Backstory* Alison was born to Carter and Katherine Blaire in the Long Island suburb of Gardendale, New York. The Blaire's picture-perfect relationship was filled with tension and doubt. Mr. Blaire was a dedicated law student, and Mrs. Blaire was a high energy performer. Katherine eventually walked out on Carter and a young Alison to pursue her own life of fame and fortune. Carter's mother, Bella Blaire, stepped in to help her son care for Alison. Carter kept his daughter's painful past a secret to protect her, but Ali's heart instinctively burned with a passion for the arts. Her grandmother also encouraged Ali to enhance and pursue her musical skills. At a high school dance, Alison's powers manifested, blinding everyone in attendance. Ali was too afraid to confide in her family, but began to use her father's intelligible law skills to investigate her powers further. Under the Alias, Dazzler, she began performing in local jazz clubs throughout New York. Ali would use her abilities to create phenomenal light shows as she was singing. It was during one of her performances that she was approached by Charles Xavier and informed of the secret mutant population of New York.
