While he didn’t have to take on the same responsibilities his sister did when their father died, he did help fill the gap at home left by their mom’s near catatonic state for years while Bryn worked. Thanks to this Robin has a good head on his shoulders, and is more mature than his age would suggest. He’s kind and caring, often looking over other people first. Robin was inducted into the Grove at a young age, younger than his sister was. He was never trained to be a leader like her, even with him actually kindling. This wasn’t something that bothered him - he saw his skills as lying elsewhere. He’s a supporter, not a leader, and has found his place as one of the few remaining healers outside of the Grove itself. Essential to avoid frequent use of the Grove itself. Outside of being a Grove member he works as a carpenter - often finding work in the city itself. Robin is a taller man, at six-one, with shoulder length dreadlocks and his fair share of tattoos. He’s often found smiling, and his gentle temperament is obvious after only a few moments spent with him. Thanks to his job he’s muscular, and is often found in band t-shirts and jeans. [/indent] [b]Abstraction:[/B] Adept - Red & Green Lux. Channeler: a worn leather watch [indent]Robin specialises in the manipulation of wood, with some skill in floramancy as a whole. He is also a talented healer - one of the best in the current Grove. He can heal people through plants and trees he can control, allowing him to easily heal anyone within his sight as long as they’re in contact with the ground.

Growing up she was always hiding behind Bryn or their parents. She preferred to be inside reading a book instead of playing outside with the other children. But just like all four of them, Laurel has a fierce love for her siblings and community- even though she’s now left it at her sibling’s urging. Incredibly smart, Laurel managed to fight through the obstacles of poverty and a tiny, underfunded school to get into Cloverfield University with a scholarship. At eighteen they moved to the city itself, finding an apartment share in the Lower District and commuting to the north side to attend classes with people nothing like them. While Laurel has to work hard, both to retain her scholarship and in a minimum wage job to supplement what Bryn can give her, she’s come into herself since she left home. While she’s still relatively quiet she’s much more confident, forcing her older siblings to treat her as an equal. Even though they clash more than they used to, she still has a good relationship with Bryn. Laurel kindled at twelve and was inducted into the Grove just afterwards. While she was trained when she was young, Laurel is the weakest magically thanks to favouring academic studies over the magical. She’s still competent enough and retains her Grove membership, attending meetings when she’s in town. Laurel is five-ten, with a well maintained afro and a couple of tattoos in mostly hidden places. [/indent] [b]Abstraction:[/B] Adept - Red & Green Lux. Channeler: [indent]Unlike the family tradition of rocks and flowers, Laurel primarily specialises in hydromancy. She has a high control over water, able to take even small sources and use them in deadly ways. Along with this, she can turn her body into water she can freely manipulate, skillfully combining her two lux types. Laurel is also a decent healer, though nowhere near her brother. Her main Green Lux talent lies in body transformation and manipulation. She can make herself or others look different, for disguises or similar. She can also use her Green Lux to enhance strength, speed ect for both herself or someone else consensually. Her magic is generally more supportive.

She loves her family, friends and community with all her heart but she also has a deep anger towards all the shit she views as unfair. She’s confident in herself but stubborn and prideful, traits that often lead to her clashing with her older sister, Bryn. In many ways the two are similar, Mari just wasn’t forced to mature like Bryn was. She was spoiled the most by all of her older siblings, so she’s very much the baby of the family. While Mari was only eleven when she kindled, she spent a few years learning with her mom (who was a bit better by then) and getting to actually be a child. She didn’t join the Grove until she was sixteen. On the side of her job in a local shop, Mari is a bassist. She has a band with three other teens from Raven’s Rest - they mostly just play in the local bar, but they’re hoping to make it big one day. She’s the least enthusiastic about her Grove involvement - less so even than her sister who moved to the city- and her mother’s death hit her hard. Even though she’s not so much into the Grove, she’s very in tune with her magic. Mari is five-six, with coily natural hair and multiple piercings. She has to wear glasses, and is almost always found in some kind of goth look with darker makeup to match. [/indent] [b]Abstraction:[/B] Adept - Red & Green Lux. Channeler: a silver ring [indent]Mari specialises in primarily the manipulation of plants, earth and rocks. This is often combined with transformation of her own body. She has a high control over both, though her application can often be rough when it comes to the earth and rock manipulation. [/indent] [/cell][/row] [/cell][/row] [/table] [/hider]
