Icara Sorus was standing on the very top deck of the airship, out in the open air. She leaned against the railing and looked down at the City of Vale slowly rolling past far below. Any other person would've suffered horrible vertigo at the sight of such a drop, but Icara was unfazed. Infact she seemed to feed on the view. Icara was excited, to say the least. She'd never been to Vale before and, now that she was going to be attending Beacon Academy, she had a whole new city to explore. She smiled brightly as her eyes devoured that city, adventure was waiting for her down there, she just knew it. By the time she graduated from Beacon, she'd have made a name for herself and would be able to return to her family with pride.

Icara closed her eyes as a lovely breeze blew her way, running through her blonde hair and whipping the tails of her blue scarf out behind her. She opened her eyes and turned her attention upwards towards the wide blue sky. There was barely a cloud to be seen and the sun was shining brightly, glinting off the metal backpack that was strapped tightly to her back. It all served to heighten her good mood. Her excitement grew and finally she couldn't contain it any more. She leapt up onto the railing, to stand precariously on the edge of the abyss. Her face was still turned up towards the sky and she spread her arms out wide, seemingly oblivious to the drop just a misplaced foot away, and let out a whoop of joy.
