Yeah basically. They are called that because They are part of the Surface world.

[b]Backstory/Bio[/b]
[i](Please Be As Detailed as possible)[/i]

Akia is a pure blood, which means both her parents were born as a Granted. All of her close friends are mixed bloods, which shows that she likes all people, regardless of what their blood is. She’s very friendly, like those girls who want to be friends with everybody, but her close friends know that Akia is just putting up an act. Her dad passed away 3 years ago, and her mom is extremely sick. Despite this fact, Akia is the one who brings up the mood. Because she is missing a limb, Akia was pushed away, but she fought to get in the middle of the group. Everybody around her absolutely ADORES her, which makes her feel good, but she knows that she’ll never be as good as her parents were, so she sends herself to The Cottage.
