To aid in answering here is some info from her Wiki page:

"Superhumanly Acute Senses: X-23 possesses superhumanly acute senses that are comparable to those of certain animals. She is capable of seeing at much greater distances, and with perfect clarity, than an ordinary human. She retains this same level of clarity in near-total darkness. Her sense of hearing is enhanced in a similar manner, allowing her to both hear sounds that ordinary humans can't and to hear sounds that ordinary humans can, but at much greater distances. X-23 is able to use her highly developed sense of smell to track targets by scent with an impressive degree of success, even if the scent has been eroded by natural factors, such as the weather."

"Foreign Chemical/Disease Immunity: X-23's natural healing also affords her the virtual immunity to poisons and most drugs. She can be affected by some drugs, such as tranquilizers, if she is exposed to a massive dose. She is also immune to all Earthly diseases and infections."

1. What does your character smell like? I've been using people's individual permissions pages so far, but since scent was a later addition it isn't on everyone's page. Please be specific if possible -- it's sort of assumed that folks will smell "clean," and if they smell like "nothing" there should be a good, in-canon reason. If they use any scented hygiene products on a regular basis, describe them here; if there are specific brands please note them also. If not, describe what their personal odor might be -- because even when we're clean, we still smell like something. (If you have a preference for what their "world" might smell like, note that here also.)

2. Can Laura gain general knowledge about your character via their scent? Things such as whether they're human or not, what world they're from, etc.; things that are listed in the character bio/app or your own permissions page.

3. Can Laura gain specific knowledge about your character via their scent? Things such as who they spend time with, what room they've just been in, what they've eaten recently, etc. Basically, if you put it in the narrative and it makes logical sense for there to be an associated scent, can she pick up on this?

4. Can Laura track your character? Do they have any abilities that would affect her tracking ability?

5. Does your character possess any abilities / weapons / etc. that might negate or restrict her healing factor? Like the ability to produce or manipulate extraterrestrial toxins, magical weapons, that kind of thing. If unsure please ask and we'll work it out!

Thank you!

Your Character: Mystique.
1. What does your character smell like? At first Mystique will be locked in a human version of her true form, in which she'll smell like an ordinary human woman. She'll probably pick up some smells from around the ship and use whatever hygiene products the barge has available. She'll generally keep quite clean, and as for a scent perhaps something similar to closed in air mixed with dust. If or when restored the use of her powers then she'll immediately start repressing her scent when in her true form. She won't smell of anything whatsoever, Laura could be right up close to her sniffing and not pick up a thing (something to nicely disquiet her?)
2. Can Laura gain general knowledge about your character via their scent? Absolutely! Although this applies only to Mystique's human form, in her mutant form all bets are off.
3. Can Laura gain specific knowledge about your character via their scent? Again yes, although if/when Mystique has her powers she can manufacture just about any smell she likes and might use that to try and manipulate Laura.
4. Can Laura track your character? Do they have any abilities that would affect her tracking ability? As covered above, Mystique will be able to both repress and alter her scent, plus if Laura is ever tracking her she might mimic the smell of skunk spray just to throw her off and make her gag :P
5. Does your character possess any abilities / weapons / etc. that might negate or restrict her healing factor? Not at all.
6. Anything else? Bwahaha!
