History:
(X-Men '97: The Animated Series cartoon - "Remember It" - BTS) - Nature Girl moved to Genosha at an unrevealed point in time. The African island nation had become a mutant paradise, allowing all mutants like Nature Girl to live in absolute freedom.
(X-Men '97: The Animated Series cartoon - "To Me, My X-Men" - BTS) - Nature Girl was one of the select few mutants to pose for a photograph for Daily Bugle photographer Peter Parker alongside Loa for the upcoming Hellfire Gala in Genosha. Nature Girl and Loa presented their garments for the biggest event of the season, Bugle reporter Eddie Brock wrote the article with the catching headline "Benetton's mutant fashion show" to highlight the multi-ethnic character of Genosha.
(X-Men '97: The Animated Series cartoon - "Remember It") - Nature Girl was seen watering her plants while the young mutants Leech, Glob Herman and Pixie were playing nearby. Nature Girl was surprised when the teleporting Pixie ran into a wooden beam next to her home.

Although unrevealed it seems likely Nature Girl's gala outfit was designed by famed mutant designer Jumbo Carnation who is typically responsible for designing all noteworthy garments for the Hellfire Gala. Carnation, however, has not yet made an appearance in X-Men '97. As Nature Girl was chosen to promote the Hellfire Gala it would seem likely she was present during the gala when techno-organic Sentinel hybrid Bastion devastated the mutant nation of Genosha by attacking it with a monstrous Mastermold, as such Operation Zero Tolerance would be counted as her enemies.
The Sentinel used in the attack on Genosha is generally referred to as either the Tri-Sentinel or a Wild Sentinel, however, the end credits of "Remember It" used Mastermold for it's name.
When, in 2015's Secret Wars, the Multiverse was destroyed following the incursions of planets it appeared as if Reality-92131 was drafted onto Battleworld as the Westchester domain. However, this has since been debunked. As such the reality seen in the two volumes of X-Men '92 (2015 and 2016-2017) now have their own reality-designation of Earth-15730. The X-Men '92: House of XCII (2022) series was inspired by both the animated series and Hickman's House of X run but is its own separate reality. The limited series X-Men '97 (2024), however, is Reality-92131 and bridges the gap between the original X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon and the new X-Men '97: The Animated Series cartoon.
