[hider= Alchemy]The ancient metaphysical science/mystical art of manipulating and altering matter by using natural energy. This act is known as "Transmutation" and its sequence is usually described as:
1.	Comprehension - Understanding the inherent structure and properties of the atomic or molecular makeup of a particular material to be transmuted, including the flow and balance of potential and kinetic energy within.
2.	Deconstruction - Using energy to break down the physical structure of the identified material into a more malleable state so as to be easily reshaped into a new form.
3.	Reconstruction - Continuing the flow of energy so as to reform the material into a new shape.
The proper application of this craft requires not only a full understanding of chemistry and ancient alchemical theory, but also a sort of natural talent towards recognizing and manipulating the physical objects with energy, which require uncommon levels of intelligence and aptitude.

It is a science and as such is subject to certain laws and limitations, all of which fall under the concept of Equivalent Exchange: "In order to obtain or create something, something of equal value must be lost or destroyed."
In standard practice, Equivalent Exchange is separated into two parts:
	The Law of Conservation of Mass, which states that energy and matter can neither be created from nothing nor destroyed to the point of elemental nonexistence. In other words, to create an object weighing one kilogram, at least one kilogram of material is necessary and destroying an object weighing one kilogram would reduce it to a set of parts, the sum of which would weigh one kilogram.
	The Law of Natural Providence, which states that an object or material made of a particular substance or element can only be transmuted into another object with the same basic makeup and properties of that initial material. In other words, an object or material made mostly of water can only be transmuted into another object with the attributes of water.
In order to begin an alchemical transmutation, a symbol called aTransmutation Circle is necessary. A Transmutation Circle can either be drawn on the spot when a transmutation is necessary (in chalk, pencil, ink, paint, blood or even traced in dirt) or permanently etched or inscribed beforehand, but without it, transmutation is generally impossible.[/hider]

[b]Personality:[/b] Fairly sweet and gentle Kaya is friendly and always willing to help out when someone, friend or stranger needs help. Sometimes her soft heart and generous, trusting, often naive nature can mean others can easily take advantage of her. It rarely seems to lower her mood though and she’s rarely seen being sad or down. She dislikes conflict and rarely uses her powers unless the situation calls for it and never against someone in a fight, even sometimes in sacrifice of defending herself.

[b]History:[/b] Both of Kaya's parents were heroes back in the day, her Mother having the ability to communicate with and control plants, whilst her father was an exceptionally powerful alchemist. However during a seemingly simply mission there was an accident and her mother lost her leg when it was crushed by a building. She retired opened a small florist. Her father remains an active hero and travels a lot, so he isn’t home often. Having moved to the quieter suburbs from the big city after the accident the family was able to settle down and have a child. 

Kaya herself has grown up in the house she currently lives in and discovered alchemy at a very young age. Her father was not around often, but all of his research, notes and books were and as soon as she was able to read on her own the girl began studying them and her mother did nothing but encourage the natural gift she possessed. As a child she found herself often picked on for being a book worm, always studying alchemy and was often picked on. It was through those events however that she met Bryant, so it was never something she complained about. As it stands now she has developed none of the plant based powers her mother has, but according to her father she may surpass his power soon. 

[b]Appearance:[/b] Fairly short in height and very slim in size; Kaya has long, waist length dark caramel brown hair and powerful butterfly blue eyes.
