"You know why the moon is so lonely? 'Cause she used to have a lover. His name was Kuekuatsheu. They lived in the Spirit World together. And every night they'd wander the skies together. But one of the other spirits was jealous. The Trickster wanted the Moon for himself. So he told Kuekuatsheu that the Moon asked for flowers. He told him to come to our world and pick her some wild roses. Kuekuatsheu didn't know that once you leave the Spirit World, you can never go back. {Now he's trapped here} Every night the Moon searches for him, and every night he sees her in the sky and howls her name, but he can never touch her again."
―Silverfox[src]

Silverfox (Kayla Silverfox) was a mutant who had telepathic and hypnosis powers who was the love interest of Wolverine. She was forced to fake her death so she could save her sister, Emma, who was being held by William Stryker on Three Mile Island being tested on to combine abilities into mutants.

Biography

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Six years after the last Team X misson, Kayla and Logan lived happily together in the Canadian Rockies. She was seemingly killed by Victor after being stopped in her car. She dies before Logan was able to save her.

Kayla told Logan at Three Mile Island that she did not really die, but only faked it in order to help release her sister Emma, which Stryker broke his promise to release her. Follwing the fight between Victor and Logan, Kayla said that she only did what Stryker wanted her to do because of her sister being held hostage. Logan and Kayla then proceed to free the mutant prisoners.

Kayla was shot by a bullet when the mutants tried to escape. She told Emma to go without her and went to find Logan. After Logan was shot by William Stryker with adamantium bullets, she dies after punishing Stryker with her abilities. Before Logan escapes the island, him and Gambit come across her lifeless body. Gambit asks Logan if he knows her. Unaware that he knows her due to Stryker shooting Logan in the head with adamantium bullets causing him to lose his memory, he says no. Logan shuts her eyelids before escaping the island.
