Name - Sarina Saunders Alias - Pyra Age - 19 Power[s] - Fire Manipulation. (Pyrokinesis). Sarina has the ability to control the kinetic energy of atoms to generate, control/manipulate fire Allowing to throw fire, Send jets of flames at a target, Hurl fireballs or even possibly cause a rain of fire. It is also handy to illuminate a dark area. In essence Sarina can excite or speed up an object's atoms, increasing their thermal energy until they ignite, not necessarily objects, but also air particles. She can control and move the flames. She can at the moment release the fire from her hands with the potential in time to do so from her mouth for fire breath. She may be able to understand and control it enough for Pyrokinetic Combat like fire shield. Thanks to this amazing power and it's possible applications, Sarina has ended up with fireproof skin and thermal resistance something that is a life saver when playing with fire in the ways and possibilities this teen can. Weaknesses - Despite all those pluses and hidden potential, There are other downsides that factor into her power and for one Control is extremely important. Unconscious use of this power can be catastrophic to herself and others, Water and in an oxygen depleted environment rendering her power useless. Sadly not much can be said for her if wearing non flame retardant clothes though as one of the downsides is if not careful can burn her clothes of, something of which is not a good thing. There are still instances of Sarina getting burned if she abuses the power much or loses to much control. Another weakness for Sarina is she does have a Fiery temper and can sometimes have a short fuse. This is another side effect of her power as it effects her personality and emotions. This gives her a little bit of unpredictability of outbursts. How long at the Institute - 3 years Favourite subject - Physical Education (Gym, Sports activities.).

Life was busy Although her parents would prefer the more quiet and peaceful life, Sarina was the opposite always running around like young kids do, she was able to make friend pretty well and was full of life and smiles, Her parents loved her so dearly. During the early life for some reason she had a thing for Mistletoe, It was probably to do with the special times of Christmas one thing that most children enjoy more and parents mostly remember those magical moments. Life was pretty normal for the family until a certain moment, Sarina was now at the age of 16, It was a pivotal changing moment in her life for it would never be the same again, While at a beach party with a load of her friends. During the night Sarina got into an argument with one of the other girls away from the group party in a hut, The drunken girl was convinced her boyfriend was having an affair with Sarina which of course was not true but during the heated argument it got physical and that was when her power flared up thus setting fire to the small hut they were in. Unfortunately the flames spread quickly engulfing the girls but running on fear for her life the popular girl fought hard despite getting burned and was able to drag the jealous girlfriend out of the fire by time the first person managed to run over seeing her pulled the unconscious girl out the fire while others where getting buckets of water or anything they could use. Sarina's actions saved the girl who had severe burns over her body, But to the guys shock Sarina was only lightly burned despite her clothes severely burned and saw her dark crimson like eyes which would become a permanent feature of her mutation. Sarina promptly ran away back home as she to knew that she should of got hurt more but it wasn't until she got home to get dresses and saw herself in the mirror that she realized her eyes. She was a mutant weather she could grasp it or not but her mind was going into overdrive and packed some clothes and ran away from home trying to get away from everything. Fortunately her mind was easy to pick up by Charles Xavier and cerebro which prompted a quick response to find the girl in need and sent Shadowcat to locate and bring Sarina in safely. When she arrived at the institute, Sarina spent a while adjusting to her new environment and getting used to being with her own kind but it was a mostly positive transition, The young lass met some very interesting individuals whom all came from different walks of life and ended up at the same place. Once Sarina had settled in she trained hard mentally and physically in the danger room while furthering her education particularly in sports activities, Her first appearance in the danger room Sarina lost control of her power and ended up burning herself thus being sent to medical allowing another mutant Exilir to heal her small burns to improve his powers. Even after this the danger room sessions were still the toughest in her mind as she often ended up burning her fellow mutants and more often than not setting of the fire sprinklers off to some people's amusement and frustration for others, Of course over the five years the fire maiden was there she would gain more control, understanding and better develop her powers showing great potential along with her hand to hand combat training, She picked up many friends and never let any kind of popularity get to her head. In her third year in the institute the school came under attack and was destroyed with many were injured, killed or captured by military forces, But in the panic many young children lost control of their powers that caused most of the devastation a bout week ago. Sarina only wished she could've helped them. Notes - Sarina enjoys in her spare time ( out of classes.) performing fire and sparkle poi and fire hoop dancing or going to the gym to keep active because she enjoys it.
