*Yawwwwn* "Hm...oh...sorry, I wasn't listening. Not that you had something important to say. Can I go back to doing absolutely nothing now? Hmm? I mean, I guess I could help...if you carry me to wherever it is we're going~"
Name:
Eirwen Soyala
Age:
15
Element:
Ice
Appearance:
Standing at just four foot ten, Eirwen's entire appearance could be described as 'Cute'. Standing shorter than most other people her age, she has short cut white hair and typically dresses in blues and whites and mostly fashionable clothing. She has bright blue eyes, and an overall petite and delicate looking frame.
Personality:
In a few short words? Upon first impression lazy, unmotivated, and bit grumpy and generally could honestly care less about you and your problems. A complete introvert who sees very little value in interacting with other people. She generally keeps to herself most of the time, and only interacts minimally with other people. When she does, she tends to take a bit of enjoyment out of messing with them, either from being overly forward or slightly antagonistic.
That said, she's not a bad person. Just generally doesn't care about most other people or their problems and would totally watch and eat popcorn if there was a building on fire, but if push came to shove she'd help out a bit if no one else was around. She just doesn't like doing things if there's someone else able to do it.
Be careful if you do manage to get her to like you though, as oddly, she can get a little clingy and possessive of people she likes.
Tends to be a bit of a glutton, and is a bit on the greedy side. Feeding her is the easiest way to get on her good side. Tends to doze off a lot in class, and can often be found sleeping. Really hates physical activity. How she stays as skinny as she is, no one knows. Doesn't seem to have too many hobbies aside from video games. Likes birds.
History:
Originally, Eirwen and her family are descendants of Native Americans not that many would be able to tell by her pale skin and white hair. Her family has a long history of being rather in tune with the natural forces of the world, and while not many of them are Elementalists themselves, they never shunned the ability. At least her family didn't.
Eirwen, for the most part, grew up entirely alone.
It was clear from a young age Eirwen was an elementalist. She had a normal life growing up for the most part. Friends, a loving family, all until she was around ten years old. Secrets often have a way of getting out. Being an elementalist is no easy task, especially to the public as shunned as they are, and while the culture of the people she grew up around were far more accepting of certain things they still weren't the most welcoming to such a notion.
When she was ten, the secret was out after an accident. She just wanted to help, she did!
And she ended up alone.
After the incident, she her friends ended up shunning her and her personality took a turn for the worse. Why try helping, when someone else could do it? Why should she attempt to help people? Might as well just stuff her face with food and watch from the sidelines.
Some went so far as to say she was cursed based on some old folklore and beliefs. After all, she looked nothing like either of her parents. Whether true or not, in the area she lived in people thought her family and her bloodline was cursed due to some ancient forces, based on some old Native American mythology and beliefs.
Eventually, her parents sent her to the Academy.
Equipment:
Does a seemingly endless stash of snacks on her count? Seriously, how the fuck does she not gain weight.

Name: Alexander Fulger
Age: 15
Element: Lightening
Appearance: Alexander is an average height of 5'9" with a slim but toned build, snow white hair, and piercing blue eyes. His attire often consists of an old hoodie and a pair of jeans. He has glasses, that he should wear, but often refuses too.
Personality: Alexander is a quiet young man who has a tendency to keep to himself. Although he often wants to join in a conversation, he has trouble speaking his mind, a true shame because he is actually quite insightful even at such a young age. He is intelligent and talented, but thinks little of himself and lacks the self confidence to truly put his talents to good use. He has as exceptionally kind heart, and will go out of his way most times to help others.
Hidden deep inside Alexander is strength and determination that he rarely lets others see. He knows, deep down, that he could be something more, but childhood traumas and an inability to truly believe in himself holds him back. The only times his strong, fierce side become evident are when he is defending someone who he truly thinks of as a friend.
When it comes to his studies few are willing to push themselves quite as hard as Alexander. He loves learning to use his abilities and has a tendency to become truly enthralled with his practice, almost to the point where he forgets that there is anyone else around.
History: Alexander's life was never one of ease or happiness. His mother, Lianna Fulger, it is said, was a kind and loving woman, if a bit quiet. She was a talented water elementalist, but rarely used her powers. His father, Edward Fulger, is still considered one of the most powerful and influential fire elementalists to ever live, and perhaps one of the cruelest.
Alexander's mother died giving birth to him, so his only way of knowing her was a locket that his grandfather gave to him. His family has always had money, and so he never wanted for any material thing growing up. He father, however, treated the boy as if he was a disappointment, and openly blamed him for the death of Lianna. He grew up being pushed to his limits by his father who only cared about having a worthy heir to the Fulger dynasty. His father payed for private tutors and attempted to raise Alexander to be just like him, however, the boys quiet and subdued nature enraged the man and caused him to lash out both mentally and physically at his son.
The only bright point in Alexander's life was his grandfather, who he was allowed to see on rare occasions. His grandfather was a saint of a man, and would shower Alexander with love and praise, and tell him how truly proud Lianna would have been of him. Sadly, when Alexander was only 10, his grandfather passed away. He did however, leave Alexander his "lucky hoodie" and his great grandfathers walking stick, to items that Alexander can rarely be found without.
Even though the loss of his grandfather nearly crushed him, Alexander still pushed himself and showed real promise, but an inability to truly believe in himself always stopped him from achieving his true potential. Three years ago, Edward remarried and his wife gave birth to another baby boy. His father, believing that Alexander was a lost cause, sent him away to the academy where he could, "Either learn to become a real man or never burden the Fulger doorstep again." Though perhaps a little scared, and rather alone, Alexander can feel a growing spark inside himself, a drive that will, perhaps, push him to become something greater then his father ever was, and if he's lucky, make the spirits of his mother and grandfather proud.
Equipment: His grandfathers walkies stick and a locket with his mothers picture in it.
Name: Ivan Vonderbull
Age: 36
Element: Blood
Appearance: Ivan is tall, around 6'2" with a strong build and crimson hair. His eyes are silver and his skin fairly pale. His clothes are always striking and fashionable, but often consist of some form of button up shirt and a jacket or vest.
Personality: Ivan is highly intelligent and well read. He spends a vast amount of time going over the books within the library, though he is incredibly secretive about what it is he is researching. He likes to keep his library quiet and any overly boisterous students learn quickly it is better to stay quiet then incur the librarians wrath, though he is always willing help a student in need. He does, on occasion, enjoy the company of other teachers, and has a slight tendency to flirt with some of his female comrades, if only in an innocent and friendly manner. He is surprisingly brave and actually quite strong, although he rarely shows it.
History: Ivan, was not a handsome lad growing up. He was short, acne ridden, and a good deal overweight. He was a talented student and had an aptitude for his element, but this only made him more of an outcast in the eyes of regular people. There was something that seemed even more disturbing about manipulation blood. His parents were both non elementalists and thus were intimidated by their own child. They still loved him, but it was difficult for a non-elementalist family to deal with such a strange child, and so he was shipped off to the academy.
Even at the academy Ivan was considered...strange. He was woefully unpopular and was forced to spend most of his time alone. As a consequence of his nonexistent social life he was able to spend a great deal of his time studying his element and its many uses. He poured himself into his studies and by graduation was already a force to be reckoned with. After the Academy, Ivan sort of just, disappeared. There is no record of where he was or what he was doing, but five years after leaving the academy he suddenly reappeared.
This Ivan looked almost nothing like the other had. He was taller, thin and muscular, and his face was clean and striking. He asked the headmaster for a position at the school and after some private discussion, it was agreed too. Ivan has been working at the school ever sense. What exactly he is searching for among the thousands of books is unknown but to a select few, but Ivan shows no signs of going anywhere soon.
Equipment: A large journal that he keeps notes in and a small ring with what looks like a sharp hook in impeded in the top of it.
Class Taught: Generally Ivan only acts as the librarian, although he will substitute for one of the other teachers or give a student private lessons when needed.

"I'm anything but coldhearted darling."
Age:
15
Element:
Water with a clear affinity for Ice
Personality:
Tyler is a cool and collected person who loves spending time with other people. He walks into a room ready to charm the socks off of who ever he can. Underneath that act Tyler lies practically compulsively, he's extremely irresponsible, unreliable, and to top it of has an actual disregard for his safety as well as the safety of others. Tyler is the kind of person who breaks the rules when he sees fit with little to no care for the consequences. He just tries to be smart and careful enough to get away with it. Most people don't see through his facade until its too late and they are in his way. This all being said, he tries to be nice to people if there's no reason for him not to be. He doesn't like to make enemies unless he has to, after all he loves being liked. When confronted about his underlying nature he is very offended and vehemently opposes what ever the other person is saying, due to the fact he feels he is just a normal kid.
Backstory:
Tyler grew up in a very chaotic and confusing world, his father was a diplomat and that line of work often dictated a very nomadic life style. His mother was ever the achiever, her line of work was charity management and improvement, a specialist who could turn around a failing or under performing charity in just months. This left his parents little time to be involved in Tyler's life or his sister's. This was the way he lived for many years, an unstable life style that did nothing to help ease his feeling of disconnection towards others. It wasn't that Tyler couldn't make friends, he just knew that his care and interest in their lives was superficial. This was generally not problematic for him, relationships with friends and family were just all about acting the way people wanted him too, it wasn't rocket science.
In Tyler's later elementary school years his powers manifested themselves, after he took the habit of freezing his nanny's drinks after convincing her to let him 'have a sip.' His father and mother had many a late night conversation and after consulting a distant earth elementalist relative they decided it best to have their son sent to the Elemental Academy.
Equipment:
A notebook, he likes to write down what he knows about people to help him remember. This is a bit of a weakness if one were looking to slander his character.

Leanne Hillcrest
Age:
15Element:
DarknessPersonality:
Despite her past, Leanne is a relatively relaxed individual who can be generally friendly, and possesses a bit of a hedonistic aspect to her in the form of enjoying hot baths, savoring chocolates, flirting shamelessly if she desires, etc. This all being noted, when she puts her mind to something she goes all-in to do her best and make her best efforts. She can be as emotional and chaotic as a teenager in general could be, and is admittedly a bit afraid to mention what her element is to others based on opinions the elementalist community has about it. In fact, the awkward parts of her life are things she is less inclined to tell others, but would perhaps open up about to someone very close to her or is romantically involved enough with her that she has that level of trust in them. Her past taken into account, trust issues are actually not really a thing for her as they could have realistically been, as in her words "yeah, I went through stuff, but that does not mean everyone is out to hate me or hurt me, and life is too short for that crap". Still, she can be cautious when the situation demands, not taking on some extreme naiveté in this mindset of hers. Of course being as she is, lazy moments can occur, especially when video games are involved. Further, she does not take kindly to those who actively seek to harm her loved ones in any fashion, getting defensive for them without having to think twice on the matter. Though it is of note that when her work ethic does come into play...there is that risk she will push herself too far or get a bit stubborn, and it is also of note that a serious betrayal of her personal trust is something she finds hard to let go of in general. She does not hate her parents, still loving them even after all of this, though for her there is also the conflict of this with the frustration she feels at the tension there was around home with them after the "incident". To her, family is family, and that should be a stronger bond than the hate for her element and its dark past. I
History:
Leanne was born a middle-class child into a middle-class home, to a middle-class family of sorts in the Southeastern United States. Her mother was a lightning elementalist, a prodigy of her own generation who was helping local groups show how elementalists can work along with normal people. Her father, however, was a normal man, no powers, no elements, no anything. His grandmother had been a water elementalist, as was his younger brother being an earth elementalist, thought he had become a business man himself. He eventually met his future wife at a recently-opened local cafe one day that he was going to in order to get some "peace and quiet". The two fell in love, and together began a family that included Leanne as the oldest and a pair of twin boys afterwards. It was a normal life for them for the first ten years of Leanne's life as well. The girl had school, friends, listening to some music, a bit of anime as she hit her teens, an enjoyment for video games, and regular exercise, possessing a rather average but modern suburban life, though some minor discrimination due to her parentage did occur. Yet, never did the two think that their daughter would one day manifest the one element no one hoped she would ever possess. At the age of 10, Leanne was walking home from the suburban bus stop she normally would be dropped off at after school, when the unthinkable happened. A man attempted to kidnap her off of the normally rather safe street she lived on, to try to force her family to pay a ransom. The end result was emotionally-charged, accidental unleashing of her element, with writhing shadows flaring out to kill her attempted kidnapper on the spot, the police coming, her being knocked out and cuffed after a wrong assumption she had murdered the guy somehow, and eventually her exoneration and name and identity being withheld from the media once the truth about the matter came in. This would make her life a bit harder afterwards as locals began to suspect her as being involved with the incident, but this never came to an extreme of sorts even among her peers and teachers. Yet despite the greater discrimination she faced, she always tried to be friendly, to "kill them with some kindness at least" and not let them weight her down.
There was of course some struggle in all of this for her despite those efforts, though in truth her positive efforts and current personality in good part came from the advice and nurturing of a certain source: her paternal grandmother. With her parents suffering from the tension of hating their daughter's element but loving Leanne herself, she was often taken to stay with her paternal grandmother (who lived just under an hour away) for many afternoons each week. This was to give the girl space to breathe, live, and escape the suburbs and the craziness of general life. However, this was also so her parents could attempt to cope with their feelings, a source of tension that even for her was painful to an extent. Yet as one incident showed, this being where an attempted campfire she tried to make at her grandmother's place burned a portion part of her back severely when things went wrong (this scar being visible still even now on her back), her parents did always still love her to some extent.
Once when questioning about her own her element whilst talking to her elementalist grandmother, she was given the following advice:
"All things must have a balance in this world, my child. Fire and Water. Earth and Wind. Life and Death. Light...and Darkness. Without any one thing to balance the other, the world could not be.
And furthermore, do not let the actions of those who came before you, those who harmed the reputation of the element you bear, weigh you down. You are yourself, Leanne, and nothing more or less than that. Work hard to be your best, and make the world see who you really are beyond the shadows of the past. I have absolute faith you will be able to do that, my beloved granddaughter. "
And furthermore, do not let the actions of those who came before you, those who harmed the reputation of the element you bear, weigh you down. You are yourself, Leanne, and nothing more or less than that. Work hard to be your best, and make the world see who you really are beyond the shadows of the past. I have absolute faith you will be able to do that, my beloved granddaughter. "
As Leanne turned 15 years old, it was decided that she would be sent to the Elemental Academy, to help her learn to at least cope with her element and be among her other peers who also wielded other elements. Really, it was seen as being for her good in the future, as rumors of anti-elementalist activities from the high school staff being covered up by the principal at that school in their local area were not encouraging for Leanne's future. Not wanting things to get worse, and desiring that Leanne have a hopefully future, the girl was signed up and sent there using links from a family friend who had gone there himself.
Equipment:
A one handed axe (blunted; to be given to her as a training weapon)
A gold necklace from her grandmother, which was owned by her grandmother's mother. A family heirloom that she keeps close.
Bhu Adamina
Age:
15Element:
EarthPersonality:
Being an elementalist of the earth, Bhu is typically a very grounded person. She is a homebody and loves to just curl up with a good book. While in a tense situation, the young girl is known to remain level-headed and calm. However, if someone needs help or is being threatened, her walls and the ground beneath her feet can begin to crumble.She is known for being firm and tough, and very blunt with others. Used to being the rock in every situation, she treats everything with a firm hand and isn't afraid to hurt somebody's feelings if need be.
History:
Bhu had the quintessential life growing up: normal parents, home with a white-picket fence, quiet, loving childhood. However, that never stopped her from feeling like something was missing. When she turned ten years old, she started to notice that whenever she was upset, a tornado of sand would always occur nearby. She always thought it was a coincidence until her grandfather revealed to her a family kept secret: he was an Elementalist. He told her of their shared power and how she could use it for good. It was then decided that she would go off to his former school. So far, Bhu can only manipulate sand into weak funnels. When she gets angry, the ground beneath her can quake, but she is not strong enough to cause any real damage.
Phoebe Dawn
Age:
34
Element:
Light, specializing in invisibility
Personality:
Pheobes is very humble, loving, and chatty. She believes in all things good and always sees the silver lining in every situation. No act of kindness is too small as it all comes from the heart and out of love. Phoebe grew up with a love of the arts as she constantly loves to express herself. She's the type of woman who believes anything made from the heart is better than anything you could buy from the store. Always goes with love, trust, and light in her heart. Her students mean the world to her, and she treats every single one as if they were her own child.
History:
Growing up in a large household as the baby of the family, Phoebe was spoiled rotten. Her three older brothers treated her as the little princess and gem of the family. She was always familiar with her special family, yet never really knew about her element until she was a teenager. Being the only Light elemental of the family did prove to have its own set of challenges as nobody was really sure how to help her. Thankfully, her parents knew of the Academy and she went off to learn her trait.
Since she was used to being pampered, the Academy was a completely new learning environment for her. It was then that her specialty in invisibility manifested. She was able to make small objects invisible, and she quickly learned how to hide herself from others. The art teacher at the time made Phoebe realize how she could use her light elemental to manipulate colors, and soon she wasn't hiding anymore. Phoebe learned to embrace her true self and knew that one day, she wanted to do the same for others. She knew she never wanted to leave the school, and that was just fine with her.

Name: Gideon Hirsoi
Age: 34
Element: Earth
Appearance:
Personality: Gideon is always late to class, and when he gets there, he basically hands out a worksheet and says, "Go. Figure it out on your own." When he does teach, he mostly talks at the students about algebra, and then gets derailed and will entertain any math questions anyone has, of any nature. He is an extremely laid back person. Gideon doesn't have rigorous standards, but if he says he expects you to do it, it's highly recommended that you do it. He loves to laugh and is very full of life. Gideon loves cats and Magic: the Gathering. He is always happy, except when he has to get out of bed, which is why he's always late to class. He loves music and plays saxophone. He always has a smile on his face. Gideon's smile is highly infectious, and he loves to see others smile. Gideon is very smart, but doesn't use it to the wrong ends. Although he is very laid back, his class is not easy, and requires you to get help or be able to teach yourself. Gideon is an encouraging person, and eggs people on. He hates saying something he knows will upset someone. He pushes his students to do their best, always encouraging them to stretch to their limits. His favorite sport is swimming.
History: Gideon's take: I'm teaching here because nowhere else would take me. The actual thing: Gideon went to Elemental Academy as a child. He doesn't remember his birth parents, but he does remember hopping from foster home to foster home until he turned 14. Then he was sent to the Academy. At the Academy, Gideon was always a troublemaker, activating color bombs in the middle of class, and putting whoopee cushions under teacher's desk chairs. He was a swimmer for a long time, always sprinting the warm up just for fun. Kano gave him a second chance when the boy showed up at his door years later, looking like a half-starved kitten in desperate need of healing. Gideon had always showed promise in math, and so Mr. Gideon Hisroi, math teacher, was born.
Equipment: Short sword, dagger, chalk, cornstarch (for swim caps.)

Diana Schwarzwald
Age:
15Element:
Fire like her mixtapePersonality:
Diana is a girl who could be called a "one woman army" when she stands her ground on something, or alternately pursues a chosen target or important goal she has in mind. Up-front, bold, and not afraid to speak her mind even if it offends others, she is not someone who likes to "beat around the bush" when speaking on one topic or another. With this, some have assumed her to be "dumb" and "impatient" due to her outward personality, a thing she loathes. Yet in reality she is an intelligent person in general who tends to try to get the "feel" for the "flow" of a given situation before taking action. But when she does act, she will not hesitate, and will usually act with varying levels of force depending on the situation at hand and the decision she has made to fit accordingly to her perception of the matter.This being said, she is a teenager, and between hormones, anger, and other emotions she can still act out impulsively and otherwise like those of her age group are prone to do anyways, just that on the average she isn't as prone to being impulsive. She does have a softer side when it comes to those close to her or very young children, and is more willing to try to soften things up for them if she feels it is possible to do so. Romance is a thing she takes into account as well, albeit feeling a bit awkward in this respect, and her "sexual preference" is something she is actually hesitant in speaking about of all things. She is an avid swimmer, greatly enjoying the activity as a pastime of hers when she can, and uses the activity as a way to "clear her head" when she has a lot on her mind to boot.
History:
Diana Schwarzwald was born in Zuflucht (or "refuge"), a city of elementalists who lived just on the edge of The Black Forest in Germany, an area where they had much peace and had sufficient tourism and business in their area to be on good terms with their local area in Germany. Even so, the people there were close to the land, though with immigration of other families to this city there are many highly mixed bloodlines running deep throughout those living there. And this has been rather true with Diana herself, having German parents who are Water and Lightning Elementalists each, her paternal grandmother being American and an Flora element specialist (as an Earth Elementalist), her maternal aunt being a Fire elementalist, an older sibling who manifested the Light element, and even a cousin of hers possessing the Blood element to boot. In Zuflucht, it is actually an exciting thing among the people there to find out what elements the next generations of children eventually manifest, it has become a "coming of age" ritual of sorts that is celebrated by families and usually involves large parties with relatives (elementalist and non-elementalist) coming to visit. Speaking both German and English as she grew up, in part due to having some English-speaking relatives, Diana had a generally good life. Kind parents, a middle-class life, an maternal uncle who served in a distinguished Elementalist branch of the German military who'd spoil her with gifts as a very young child, relatives nearby to visit. Though amongst some of her more bragging cousins and a few of the other local children who took a bit too much pride in their elements and lauded themselves over the "undecided", this girl decided she would not take crap from those people, or those few amongst the very old generation who seemed to think she would become some housewife after learning some about her element. It was not for her, she decided, and she was going to make a life for herself as an Elementalist. Such was her decision, though eventual marriage and relationships were definitely not out of the question...just that her attractions were not among the "norm", so to say, and were never spoken of as a result to others.
Eventually, her family decided to send her to the Elemental Academy, a long-standing tradition among their own particular family, and one that had left some relatives living near or at the Academy as well. Seeing this as the chance to escape her seeming "isolation" in Zuflucht from the rest of the world, and understanding from the accounts of others that the world was not all too kind overall to elementalists, she leapt upon her chance to go to the Academy and see what she could grow into as an individual...and as an elementalist.
Equipment:
-Thick Plastic Hammer (Training Weapon), one handed weapon with a long enough handle to have the option to two-handed wield it if she desires. A versatile weapon in that respect.
-A pair of silver earrings with sapphires in them, belonging to her maternal uncle's wife, who died of cancer shortly after seeing her niece (Diana) for the first time.

Name: Freya Amillis
Age: 15
Element: Light
Personality:
She is gentle, kind, light-hearted and very optimistic. She sees the kindness and beauty in everyone she meets. She loves to make everyone smile whether by performing a song or telling a joke. Whenever someone is feeling sad, she's always there to provide emotional support. Music has become a part of her life so you may see her occasionally humming, singing, or nodding her head on a music she's playing on her head. She is graceful but she's not afraid to get her hands dirty. She is as brave as she is kind: she never shows fear in front of the enemy and will fight to the very end to protect her loved ones. Even if most people would think of her as sweet and gullible at first impressions, she's actually a free-spirited young woman with a love for life. Most of all, she is secretly a very energetic woman that you can count on to have many fun adventures with.
History:
Freya is the eldest daughter of Sandra Amillis, a world renowned songstress, and Jason Amllis, a master composer. A song made by the both of them is considered to be a work of art because of how deep and meaningful the lyrics are combined with a beautiful singing voice interpreting it. As such, Jason is also a musical player being knowledgeable and being very able to play multiple instruments, so seeing them together both on stage is truly a sight you must see and hear. Not only that, they are also adept in Light manipulation, being able to perform lightworks even while performing music on stage, a feat no one can do as successful and as beautiful as them.
Having both a reputation in the world of music, it will be very hard for people to come out of their shadows, especially their children. That is why Freya continues to do her best to be just as amazing as her parents or even greater despite being a musical prodigy herself along with her younger brother, Frey. Sandra and Jason always make sure to put family first despite their hectic schedules because they want to be with their children to see and help them grow into the people that they want to be.
Their favorite family activity? Performing for "The Home of Light", an orphanage founded by both her parents. Father and son handle the instrumentals while mother and daughter do the singing. Sandra and Jason also always make sure to have a day-off just so they can perform for the children, an act that made them loved and seen by all as a talented but very humble family. Freya loved to see the smile on the children's faces, the gleam in their eyes whenever they see them perform. These children are also Freya's inspiration on becoming a singer-composer just like her parents, so she can put a smile on everyone's faces.
Freya was sent to Elemental Academy because her parents believe it is better to learn from the experts themselves. They also want her to meet new people that will become her lifelong friends in the future.
Equipment: She wears a necklace that her family gave her for her 14th birthday.

Name: Jeremy Lindall
Age: 15
Element: Water
Appearance:
Personality:
Jeremy is generally a goofy, excitable, fun-loving person. He tends to take what life throws at him with a smile, and enjoys spending time with others, although he can be rather shy around new people. Still, sometimes it can be hard for him to slow down, often rushing into whatever he thinks will be fun.
Still, he does have a serious side, which tends to rear its head when he causes trouble. He doesn’t like negativity, so if he’s the one causing it, he’ll drop his goofiness to try and fix whatever he did.
History:
Jeremy has always lived a relatively easy life, born to a pair of elemental martial artists quite close to the academy. He grew up listening to stories of the fun his father, a water elemental, and his mother, a fire elemental, had when they were students. Of course, he also heard all about the trouble they’d gotten in, which was apparently a rather common pastime of the pair.
Due to these stories, Jeremy has been looking forward to the academy for just about his entire life, and actually tried to sneak away from home to join the academy in secret multiple times between the ages of six and ten. However, this stopped when his parents convinced him to focus on martial arts, telling him that knowing them might impress the teachers when finally did get to go.
In the last couple of years before he left, his father helped him practice his control of water at a small pond behind their house. He got somewhat decent at it too, but he knew his father was never really going to teach him anything new, so much as work on improving the little he could already do. When he asked about this, his father explained that actually learning new aspects of his powers would best be left in the hands of the academy.

Name: Ethan Conrad
Age: 15
Element: Earth
Personality: Ethan is a kind and honest kid who loves helping people out. A hands on kind of person who isn’t afraid to roll up his sleeves and get things done. Well, unless you need him to talk to someone. While very approachable himself, Ethan has a hard time approaching others. He always afraid he’s bothering someone or saying something wrong which usually leads to him getting nervous when starting a conversation with anyone, even familiar friends. This is even worse when faced with conflict. Ethan practically shuts down not talking, avoiding eye contact , and looking for the nearest exit. He knows he’ll have to stand up for himself one of these days, but that day is not today.
If someone were looking to find him, their best would be the lower levels as Ethan prefers enclosed spaces low or below ground level.
History: Born and raised in the city, Ethan was the youngest in a family of four. His parents ran an auto shop where he and his sister would often help out at after school as they didn’t make enough after bills to hire anyone. Finances were the worries of adults, though. All Ethan needed to worry about was working hard, keeping his grades up, and staying out of trouble. All stuff he could easily handle. Then nature decided he had too good a grip on things and threw the ultimate wrench in his life, making him an elementalist.
At first even he didn’t realize he had powers. A few random rocks tumbling around, a sudden crack in the sidewalk, strange yes, but nothing crazy enough to tell him what he was. Then at age thirteen, after three years of ignoring and holding in his powers, Ethan did something that left him with no other explanation. While take a tool case to his dad, Ethan made a footprint in the floor. This wasn't a small dust print, mind you. This was literally a perfect footprint in solid concrete. Knowing his parents would be furious, as not only did he damage the shop but they didn’t look to kindly upon elementals, he quickly took a hammer to the floor and claimed he dropped something there. Better he get scolded or grounded than disowned.
It only got worse from there. His once simple life became a nightmare of pretending to ignore slight tremors and stopping stray rocks from rolling in. He kept this up for nearly two years until one day someone noticed. As he was taking the keys from a customer, he failed to notice a crystal keychain she had and ended up accidentally throwing them across the room without even touching them. Afraid he was going to be outed, Ethan nearly broke down in tears as the woman looked at him inquisitively. However, she simply asked if he had any control of his powers. He shook his head no, prompting the woman to reach into her purse and pull out a card with an address and the words “The Academy” written on it. She then pulled her keys back with a gust of wind and told him he should look into it.
That night, Ethan decided he was tired of hiding who he was. After packing his bags and leaving a note explaining everything, he found himself on the first bus to The Academy
Equipment:A few tools and a suitcase of clothes and other household items.
Training weapon: Giant padded socket wrench. Works as a mace. Can be used screw abnormally large bolts.

Name: Havish Greyson
Age: 15
Element: Electricity
Appearance:
Personality: Havish can be characterized by his impetuousness, he is the gung ho, first in the fire kind of person with a temper to match, he is energetic and outgoing, unable to manage his own filters.
History: Havish was born right near the academy, and from an early age he was exposed to the powers around him and from this closeness bred a familiarity with it and those that use it. Both of Havish's parents could use magic, and they tried to teach Havish the responsibility and the power that he too would have, though he wanted nothing more than the freedom to do as he wanted. Havish wanted much from the world around him, always trying to make every moment count to the point that he would go off and get into some trouble all for the sake of the thrill, he would leap from the highest points into lakes, he would run along rooftops, and he would pick fights with the biggest and meanest guys he could find, not every fight was a winner, but it was when he discovered his power that he knew that he would need to get some help if he wanted to see this become something greater than just a parlor trick here and there, he was going to become legend, he would hunt great beasts and slay evil foes, and live the life of unending adventure he has always dreamed of.
When Havish revealed that his power was manifesting itself, his family tried to dissuade him from going to the Academy, they told him that he didn't have to go there, that they would teach him and that he would do just as well, but something felt off about all of that, they seemed almost desperate. One night, while his family thought he was asleep he caught them talking, and it was worst than he had thought, "He will be an utter embarrassment, he will get expelled right away." When they finished speaking he walked into the room and his parents tried to explain themselves but it was too late, Havish told them that he would be heading out to enroll in the morning, and that he would prove them wrong, he would do all the things he wanted to and be a point of pride, at least to himself.

Name: Kris Sterling-Silva
Age: 15
Element: Ice
Appearance: Kris stands at the height of 5'3, with a slender build. Bright azure hair travels down her back in a tight ponytail, her skin is a bright icy pale color almost as bright as her hair, she has two grey eyes with a noticeable scar running vertically across her right eye, she has a small button shaped nose and bright pink lips and has a pointed chin.
While at the academy Kris has a limited wardrobe, so she mostly wears a small but simple white blouse with an oversized brown leather jacket, wrapped around her waist is a is a pleated black mini skirt and on her feet are a set of designer heels.
Personality: Kris is extremely narcissistic, insensitive, possessive, and self-absorbed. Also, she is constantly focused on herself and her own needs and desires, she arrogantly believes herself to understand any situation better than her any of her peers, stubbornly refuses to admit when she is proven wrong, she will even go to extreme lengths to cover up his mistakes. She can also be very hypocritical. Any actions that will help others are almost constantly for her own benefit, even if puts her peers in danger or at risk for bodily harm. she is very superficial and materialistic to the point of amorality, refusing to go with anything less than the finest option available and regularly spend money without a second thought of most of their purchases.
She also has very heavy O.C.D. with a deep hatred for the number seven, her hatred runs so deep that if she has seven of any object will do anything in her power to make the number larger or lower than seven, even if it would mean her being wrong, and if she can't change it in any way she'll throw a tantrum getting angry with the people around her lashing out.
While others may consider her a . . . . "Friend" she doesn't consider people with less money than her a real friend nor does she see them as an equal and she probably shares the same thoughts with the people she considers teachers; even if she looks down on her teachers she's still willing to listen to them and consider what they are telling her to be important or somewhat important.
Even though Kris has many problems she does know that they are problems, but she'll never truly admit it to anyone, she knows that she isn't normal and wants to do whatever she can to "fix" herself.
History: Kris was born the only daughter amongst several boys, her father is the king of a northern monarchy covered in Ice, well the castle is covered in ice; she was the middle child and with as many kids as her father had she was ignored by him once in a while and as the times of him "forgetting" about her grew the more she got to know the people around him better. The worst time he forgot about her was during one Christmas where she was coming home from distant family, she wasn't greeted by her father or her mother but the hired help was the first to greet her and ever since then she held a grudge against her father and brought up the situation whenever he would try to talk to her or give her a gift.
For a long time, she learned from some of the best teachers in her land alongside her brothers learning how to use her element at her own pace, with the teachers giving her advice and points on how to perfect using her style at using her element. When her father engaged another woman again, a rage welled up inside of Kris, she yelled a barrage of insults at him in front his help, dozens of visitors to the castle and even his fiance; while her father didn't show a hint of anger, his fiance flew into a rage and slapped Kris, after the slap, the two engaged in a long fight with Kris on the losing end of her soon to be step mother's sword with a long wound over one of her eyes.
Once the fight was over, within a day Kris found herself on a plane and soon a train inbound for the academy with a letter from her father explaining why she's being sent off to the academy, she only read a sentence of the letter before ripping it to pieces. When she stepped off the train she was furious with her father's decision and wanted to take the train back to the Kingdom and give him a piece of her mind, but when she tried to buy a ticket she realized that she was barred from going back to her own kingdom, after stomping her feet in a huff and demanding that she get a ticket she was forced to swallow her pride and stay at the academy.

Thora Herschel
Age:
14
Element:
Water
(Though currently she can only use her element through the contraptions she builds)
Appearance:
Thora Stands at a measly 4'9", though her height does not bother her at all, she likes being small as it allows her more flexibility in her repairs.
Personality:
One thing that is immediately noticeable when encountering Thora is, that she is silent. According to her life's motto, every word you speak, is a breath you could have saved for actually doing something productive. Now that she has lived so long under that motto already, it is hard for her to talk at all. Instead, she will use gestures to communicate or, in the extremest circumstances, she might use a single word or two.
This, of course, makes her seem cold, distant and aloof, which is only partly true.
It might be right, that she is usually quite distant, but she is, to the extend that is possible for somebody who doesn't speak, fairly caring towards people that managed to creep into her heart.
Those people will, then, also get physical attention from her, aka pats on the back or even a hug or two.
Another reason why she can seem distant, is her desire to constantly tinker with something. From fixing tech-stuff to building her own contraptions, which can seem very steampunk-y. In these, she uses her water abilities to pump the water through pipes and valves to generate force or power for whatever the purpose of her machines.
Outside of these contraptions, her elemental abilities are very limited, which, despite her seemingly being content with just her contraptions, annoys her a lot.
Even though she doesn't talk, she can be very vocal about her annoyances, letting out disgruntled noises and having a quite expressive face, though, she more often than not looks miffed, even if she isn't really.
History:
Born in northern Germany to a family of engineers, Thora grew up travelling around the world with her parents and being along a lot of the times. As such, she, from a young age on, had to learn to be self-sufficient. At some point, when she was around eight, she started to tinker on old electronic devices her parents did not need anymore as a distraction and to waste some time. Never did she know before, that it would be so much fun for her and became almost her entire day from that point on.
Although both her parents were rarely around, her father and mother were both proud of her and, in their spare time, taught her a lot of the things she might need to know.
It was during that time, that she started to construct things on her own. At some point, she realized, she could manipulate water to some degree, but a lot more when she used it in the things she built.
Of course, she was rather unaware of the consequences her abilities could bring her, but nobody, not even her parents noticed for a while, as her powers were too weak to notice outside her contraptions.
One day, though, not long after she turned fourteen, her mother, understandably quite shocked, found her fiddling with a metal press she built herself which was physically being powered by her water ability.
Scared of anybody else finding out her powers, they decided, with a heavy heart, to send her to the Academy for training and, especially, safekeeping.

Name: Jeanne d' Luc
Age: 24 (An Academy Alumni asked to Teach.)
Element: Light
Appearance:
Without Armor:
Personality: Fierce, Defiant, but similarly full of hope. Quick of wit, but seemingly cold of heart when it comes to those who attempt to get close to her. In her dreams, nightmares persist of the darkness that lingers within her soul, no matter how desperately she tries to vanquish it with a blaze of light. A place where she, an Angel of Light, of Hope, is haunted by the spectre of death. Because of of this, her vigilance is a near constant, as if she is often a Knight that is on guard. This can give her a external persona that is a little stiff, perhaps even awkward, but as a teacher she cares deeply for her students; regardless of their elements. However, if one sought to dig deep enough, a kind, matronly girl would be found, despite her younger age. Other aspects include:
Pensive: Thanks to Jax, Jeanne went from being a wild thief to a studious woman. During her time off, she is just as much likely to be found in her quarter's study as she is to be found helping students practice. Sometimes, silence is golden and allows one to think.
Empathetic: Due to her struggles in her youth, Jeanne can often relate to students who come from troubled backgrounds, and will often reach out to them to try and help. Just like what happened to her.
Discipline: Thanks to a mindset gifted to her by one of the retired staff, she holds discipline, perhaps even militaristic discipline as a key for focusing and mastering an element. She was raised as such, and will impart the same upon those she teaches.
With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility: As she grew in power and prowess, Jeanne came to learn that the essence of a good person is to stand for others who cannot stand for themselves, regardless of what they believe or think of her. They may despise or loathe her as an elementalist, but she will not hesitate to try and stop the blood of innocents being spilled, even at the cost of her own.
Defiance: Even against any odds, Jeanne holds her own honor to the highest discretion. If challenged, she will not back down; even if it is an enemy with greater power than her own.
Inspired: Jeanne is incredibly well read in the legends of the land, and the heroes it describes. She believes that she, the faculty, as well as the students are very much akin to the heroes of old and have a greater purpose, even if it may not be defined quite yet.
History: When it came to those who harnessed light, there are few more enigmatic than the Academy's famous Knight. She was brought to the academy as an orphan who caused naught but trouble with her rudementary use of light. Having lived a life where she had to steal to survive and eat, the sharp change to becoming a student wrought much confusion in her first year at the academy.
If it were not for Jax Razor, one of the teachers, recognizing her potential, she might not have graduated.
Where other students were given their weapons, Jeanne's potential allowed her to create hers. Where others wielded knives, maces, and bows; Jeanne forged her own weapon from pure light. Where others would cause bursts and eruptions of light, she molded and shaped it to her will. At first it was just a sword, but as her studies and disciplines continued, it became much more as she learned to create a shield, and even soft fabric out of woven light. With the Jax's guidance, she grew to be able to summon and dismiss such items at will, and in just a few seconds.
It grew until she found her current precipice, where she could conjure up to three swords in the air. Blazing blades of light which moved and attacked or defended to her will. As her successes and fame both grew, so did her prowess, which only manufactured fear, awe, and envy when she fought in both practice and in reality.
Many would describe it as watching an Angel bringing the wrath of God upon her foes.
Upon her graduation, Jax gifted her with an invitation. A chance to teach at the very academy that had shaped her life for the better. An invitation that she took up joyously without regret. For it was her home, and her family alike. Each of her students are treated as such, and in her two years of teaching, she has never looked back.
Equipment: None, she creates it.

The Drama Teacher
Name: Marshall Narquis
Age: 27 (born Dec 8th)
Element: Water/Ice
Appearance:
(Image Credit & Ownership is SkyFly17. To request removal, please PM this account.)
Personality: Passionate. Enthusiastic. Devoted. As stubborn as a damn mule. These are just a few select terms that would describe Marshall Narquis. He is the sort of person to throw himself headlong into whatever he sets his mind to, and it’s not uncommon at all for him to get in over his head in doing so. That said, he usually manages to find a way out of such situations, often simply thanks to his seeming inability to let things rest once they’re started. Outside of such things, he is on the whole a cheerful man who always looks for the bright side of things, and grins even if he doesn’t find one. Though some might mistake this for naivety, he’s really quite intelligent and sensible- his boundless optimism is just a tactic that was once taught to him as a coping mechanism that has since become his default state of mind. Above all, he’s dependable. If Marshall says he’ll do something, support someone, or take care of a problem, very little will be able to stop him from following through.
History: Marshall’s childhood was not really what could be called pleasant. His mother raised him alone, in poor conditions, and constantly moving from place to place it seemed; a by-product of the scorn for their abilities that showed itself whenever somebody discovered them. Despite this, his mother always smiled, and as Marshall grew up she taught him to do the same. “No matter what, never forget to smile,” she would say to him, “Because if you keep smiling, you’ll be able to find every reason to be happy. But if you don’t, you’ll only see reasons to be sad.”
As he grew older, he discovered why his mother had worked herself to the bone for so long; she’d been steadily pooling funds to allow him to attend the Academy, a chance she herself never received. And by some stroke of fortune, she happened to have saved enough to do just that by the time he came of the right age. While studying there, aside from exploring and learning to control his power, he found his greatest joys in the Theatre & Drama classes with Instructor Claudia Colson. The days spent learning under her were some of his fondest memories, and where he made several of his friends. And, in later years, it was Claudia who gave him 1-on-1 lessons for commanding his element, in particular teaching him the art of finely shaping it into a variety of objects- something he came to specialize in.
Years later, well after he had graduated and gone on to tackle the world, it came to Marshall’s attention that Claudia was electing to retire from teaching. Moreover, it seemed the Academy was having trouble finding someone to take her place and teach the art of stagecraft. That, he decided, just would not do, and he set about applying to take the job himself. It’s now his 2nd year of teaching as such, and he’s actually starting to get the hang of it...
Equipment: A small steel bar, roughly the size and shape of a sword grip that he uses as an aid for moulding his element(s) into handheld objects.

Name: Yelena Kasyanenko
Age: 15
Element: Water
Personality:
The first words that come to mind to express her would be something akin to being reserved at times, sometimes expressionless or bearing a light smile, while at times seeming like she isn't quite "there" at all. Her mind wanders a lot, but she usually keeps it in check by occasionally meditating on her own in peace. She isn't inherently introverted nor extroverted, but more something in-between. She won't strike up a conversation always but tends to speak her mind if asked. While she isn't brash, she is stubborn when it comes to beating an obstacle or resolving a problem.
Failures tend to lead her back into her own shell while accomplishments leave a childish smile on her face. A multifaceted personality to say the least. Especially when it comes to relations between people. She can be a bit of a pain to get to know or discern.
Failures tend to lead her back into her own shell while accomplishments leave a childish smile on her face. A multifaceted personality to say the least. Especially when it comes to relations between people. She can be a bit of a pain to get to know or discern.
History:
Born on the western border of Russia, in St.Petersburg on a northern city district as the sole child early on. She was doted on early by her mother who stayed in the house while her father worked as an engineer. A bright and cheerful little lass in her early years, and even more so when her little brother was born several years later. She spent a lot of her time with her brother, saving her mother some time and energy from having to always watch two of her children. Often going outside to play near a large lake right next to their household whenever she had some lone time.
Years passed by as she grew and studied in school as everyone her age did. Slowly but surely though she ended up learning that she had an odd talent, something she had heard of before only slightly at first. Elementalists, people that were generally shunned by a majority and not viewed with that much positivity. The waterbed she always frequented now felt different, as if she could 'feel' more of it. This never manifested itself into much more than that until a bit after she turned fifteen and her mother saw her actually splash and slightly lift a small amount of water around the edge of the lake. Naturally however, her mother did not say nor mention anything of it at the time. It took a month or two before her parents confronted her and sent her off with hope that she'd learn more about it. The goodbye itself was not as sweet and short as it could have been, instead leaving a small void in her mind and heart as to why they did so. She knew her kind was shunned, but she also knew that her parents wouldn't do something like that without good reason. Especially with all the animosity from the general public.
Somewhat confused and sent off her way, she didn't really know what to think of her ordeal. All she had now was this "once-in-a-lifetime" chance to learn what that power is. Glad on one side, but also homesick on the other. It wasn't easy for her to just suddenly leave her family behind.
Not that she was given much choice on the matter either however.

Name: Milo Stevens
Age: 14
Element: Aetherial
Appearance: Milo is small for his age, having not yet had his growth spurt. He currently measures 4'6" tall and has a lithe, slender build. His hair is fine and golden blond in color and hangs nearly to his shoulders, concealing his slightly pointed ears behind the unusually long tresses. His face is round and youthful with high cheekbones and only a few zits across the porceilain skin. His sapphire eyes are large and round, giving him an owlish, somewhat surprised appearance. His smile is nearly perpetual and often reveals two deep dimples on the sides of his face.
Personality: Milo is a ball of sunshine in all but the most extreme circumstances. He's not one to crack jokes, but he will find a bright side to most situations. His positive attitude makes friends easily and encourages his teammates. He is an extrovert, but only barely. He likes spending time with his friends and/or teammates, but also values his "me time" and personal space.
History: Milo was born in a small elementalist community far from the academy, but he had heard about the academy from his parents practically since the day he was born. Milo was born to a long line of elementalists of all elements, including darkness (though they often did their best to conceal their true powers due to the stigma attached to manipulating shadows), but Milo was the first to be gifted with the power of the Aetherial, being able to control all the elements. His powers first manifested on his tenth birthday when he not only blew out the ten candles on his birthday cake, but blew them over. A week later, it was clear that Milo was not merely a wind elementalist when he was stuck out in the rain waiting for his mom to pick him up after school and he never got the slightest bit wet. As the weeks went by, Milo slowly but surely displayed other talents with the other elements: he cut his finger by accident and it healed within minutes, the power went out one night and he glowed like a lantern for a moment, he even caused a lightning bolt drop out of a cloudless sky and strike the ground a foot from where he stood. With Milo being able to control so many elements, it was clear that his power was in the Aetherial, and his parents couldn't have been prouder.
Milo had a fairly ordinary childhood. He went to an ordinary school and took ordinary classes. When he was 6 he started taking gymnastics. With his small, light build, he was good at vaulting and tumbling, but he lacked the arm and shoulder strength for bars, rings or pommel horse, but this suited him fine since he was more interested in the vault and floor exercises anyway. To keep him limber and flexible, Milo's coach recommended Milo practice yoga and/or Tai Chi, which Milo did and continues to do to this day. He also continued with gymnastics throughout middle school and even competed regionally on his middle school's gymnastics team.
When Milo was 12 years old, he talked his parents into letting him take fencing lessons and he has begun to learn how to use a foil. He also picked up the habit of writing short stories and poems and has a fondness for writing by hand with a quill.
Equipment: Milo brought his blue yoga mat, a wooden Tai Chi sword, a foil, a few quills, a bottle of ink, and a small knife for keeping his quills properly sharpened.

Name: Aiden Cramoisi
Age: 15
Element: Fire
Appearance:
Personality:
Aiden tends to have a reserved, laid-back approach to what he does which straddles the line between laziness and arrogance, preferring not to be effort into actions which he believes are a waste of time. But at the same time he is a competitive fellow, and once his interest is piqued he tends to get lost in the moment. Aka get tunnel vision, the only thing which he will care about is the objective or goal. The means matter little to him, regardless of whether he is trying or not. All that matters is the result.
Even when he's being competitive, he doesn't normally get angry that easily. Excitable, happy, satisfied, disappointed, maybe slightly cross but not really 'angry'. You could insult him all day and he wouldn't bat an eye, he honestly doesn't care what others think of him or view him as. He only gets angry if the insults at hand involve his sister or close friends and is quick to use violence on those who have done so. He also feels guilt for not noticing his sisters problems sooner, intensifying his over protectiveness of her to make sure it doesn't happen again.
He also has a disdain for 'normal' people, and, rather obviously, people who speak badly of his sister or close friends and isn't afraid to show it.
History: Being born into an non-elementalist family wasn't as bad as it could've been for Aiden and his sister. Despite their father being a major anti-elementalist, they lived their lives as normally as one could despite having discovered their powers at the age of 10. Their father, a small-time lawyer, wasn't pleased to say the least and promptly left his wife after having an argument about abandoning their children.
Following the loss of the 'man of the house', the young Aiden took it upon himself to be his mother and sister's 'protector' as they copped prejudice for their powers. This however became a problem as time went on, as Aiden soon resorted to beating up his sisters bullies at school when they were 13. Following that incident they were forced to switch schools, but Aiden was soon once again in trouble for using his powers on some kids picking on her sister.
That was when they were directed to the Elemental Academy by a local city official, they themselves a graduate of the academy. Feeling like her children were better off at the Academy, with all the trouble they had been getting at 'normal' schools, she reluctantly transferred them both to the school despite Aiden's arguments.
Equipment: A locket which contains a picture of his mother, father and sister (and himself obviously) taken when the twins were still 8 years old.
Also a suitcase of clothes and whatnot (i.e. beanies)

Name: Scarlett Cramoisi
Age: 15
Element: Wind
Appearance:
Personality:
Eccentric is probably the best way to describe Scarlett, or maybe scatterbrained. Erratic. Flighty. Those and more have been used by her brother, not that she pays much attention. She prefers to be immersed in her own imagination, or a good (or trashy. Same shit to her) novel. Even when someone tries to talk to her, her mind wanders and she has infuriated many people by just walking off as they talk. More intent on whatever is on her mind than the person next to her. Most people think she is quiet, but she is in fact totally mute. When she 'talks' to people, it's more in a series of handsigns or she'll simply write it down to save time.
Her mind also seems to resemble that of a childs, behaving very childish most of the time and being excited by the littlest of things at times. She also has extreme Chuunibyou and dresses the part, often writing her own fantasy stories of her own exploits. All entirely made up of course, or entirely exaggerated to the point where they are fiction.
History:
Being born into an non-elementalist family wasn't as bad as it could've been for Scarlett and her brother, especially with herself being born mute. Despite their father being a major anti-elementalist, they lived their lives as normally as one could despite having discovered their powers at the age of 10. Their father, a small-time lawyer, wasn't pleased to say the least and promptly left his wife after having an argument about abandoning their children.
As her brother assumed the role of their 'father', Scarlett tried her best to be 'normal' and fit in with the other kids. This however was a major problem due to her muteness, and that coupled with her having powers made her a target for just about every bully in the area apparently. She managed to make a few friends, however keeping her friends while being the target of bullies was a great struggle. Friends ignoring her in hopes of not being another target, friends betraying her to the bullies, such incidents were unfortunately not uncommon.
Soon she gave up on trying to be normal and soon immersed herself in books, fantasy, romance, whatever she could get her hands on to distract her mind from the bullies. All the while, her brother barely knew about the bullies as none were game enough to bully her in his presence.
Her brother finally caught on when they were about 12 when she came home covered in scratches in bruises, though she tried to brush it off as nothing major and wrote down that she had simply fallen over. He finally caught some of them in the act when they dumped a bucket of slime over the poor girl, losing his temper and beating the bullies to a pulp and even burning some of them with his powers.
This incident prompted a move of schools, but the problems followed them. Growing more and more used to this, she delved into the world of chuuni's and fantasy, her newfound hobby making her an even bigger target.
Eventually, after her brother used his powers on some idiots who thought it was a good idea to steal her bag and pour the contents out the class window, a city official suggested they transfer into the Academy, having been a former student there himself.
Feeling like her children were better off at the Academy, with all the trouble they had been getting at 'normal' schools, she reluctantly transferred them both to the school despite her brother's arguments.
Equipment: A pendent the same as her brothers.
As well as a suitcase filled with clothes and whatnot, including her cosplays.
She also has a series of small books which she'll switch around, and a whiteboard with some markers to talk to people with.
