Name: Ash Mareinos 

Age: 15

Year: 2nd year

Normal or Supernatural (as in, what are you?): Supernatural. Ash is the far descendant of water nymphs. She is the first in a very long time to show any promise. Her gifts would be control of water, ability to breath under water, she is far enough removed from the original Nymph in her line that she will not have the control over sexual desires that is common with Nymphs. She is also an excellent singer, and her parents had her classically trained.

Personality: Ash is brilliant, but she doesn't apply herself. At Northwood she does the bare minimum to not get in trouble. She avoids the smaller school work as much as possible, but aces her tests with ease. She has a streak of anger that comes out when questioned about her choices. She's modest and prefers long skirts, since she can't wear pants at school. Though she always has a pair packed in case of need to climb a tree. Ash is tom-boyish and outgoing.

Bio: Ash is descendant from the nymph Pareia and Minos' son Nephalion. She was raised on a ranch in Upstate New York. The ranch had a lake that she spent most of her summers in. As such her skin is tanned deeply (Don't let the photo fool you). Ash doesn't know who her ancestors are. What she knows is she's a really good swimmer and never seems to have to come for air. Her parents take a vacation to the ocean for two weeks every year, there she swims in the ocean and seems unbothered by the tides. 

It was during one of these trips to the ocean that one of her older brother was pulled out to sea in a riptide. Ash freaked out and swam to him, she was miraculously able to rescue her brother. He swears that the ocean obeyed her pleas for his safety, and has become very devout about her safety. They exchange letters frequently. 

Ash has several other brothers varying in older and younger (there are a total of 6 boys), she's a middle child. Because of all of her brother's she has grown up rather tom-boyish, she's the type to walk a fence or take a dare. 

Ash is nervous about the lake after last year's incident, but the draw to swim it much too strong for her to ignore it for long.

How you came to the school (did you transfer or are you a Year 1 student?): She started here her first year.

Name: Amy Snow

Age: 15 

Year: 2nd

Normal or Supernatural (as in, what are you?): Normal

Personality: Not outgoing, unless it's going to the Library. She holds no resentment over being an orphan, in fact she believes that she's got it made. She has no family history to hold her back. Amy has a drive to prove herself in the classroom. She is easily found in the library. Amy is an extrovert surprisingly, so even though she revels in books Amy needs friendship. She's not daring enough to be part of Ash's group of friends, and it's clear Ash doesn't have much time for someone so stuck in her books. 

Bio: Amy is an orphan. She was raised in a Home, capital H and all. All she knows of her family is her name. Other than that she has never cared. She may have been raised in the Home, but she grew up in the library. She lived close enough to DC to take two buses every weekend into the city to go to the Library of Congress, and the Smithsonian. She was, by the time she was ten, considered a permanent fixture in the library. 

When she turned 14 one of the librarians put a stack of school applications in front of her. She filled them all out and was accepted to most (only the ones who needed more socialization in her record turned her down). Amy was told by the librarians that she was to apply all of herself to her school work and they'd pay and find scholarships for her. They want her to succeed, and she wants to show them how much she really can do. Her strength is in languages, but she isn't short in sciences or maths. 

Amy didn't know the girl last year, but it struck her deep. She won't have anything to do with the lake now. 

How you came to the school (did you transfer or are you a Year 1 student?): Came as a 1st year.
