Jideh Basrah
Age: 15
Element: Flora
Appearance:
Personality: Jideh is outgoing, and contemplative in turns. He tends to burst out into a scene with exuberance, and then go quiet for a span of time. Most people would put Jideh down as a wind user. But they haven't seen him in a garden before, when his energy is directed at the beauty of the earth around him. He can be tender, and nurturing, to a rosebush he happens upon one minute, and then be boisterous, even irritating, to a fellow student he meets adjacent to the aforementioned rosebush. To put Jideh's personality into its core precepts, Jideh is;

Mercurial - Like the plants that he loves to care for, different parts of Jideh's persona bloom depending on the situation.
Jideh is so changeable that he can, in the course of a day, run through the entire emotional spectrum!

Peaceable - Jideh hates fighting, and will jump into a fight to end it, while judging harshly the person who started it. He
believes there is always a choice between calm discussion, and senseless aggression.

Inquisitive - Jideh is a curious fellow who likes to learn by doing, and will usually figure things out just as fast as
somebody who reads a book on the topic. He likes to puzzle things out. Especially word games.

Sensitive - Jideh cares about people, and he cares about what they have to say. Jideh takes everybody at their word, and if
somebody tells him something using strong vernacular, he can take to heart that they believe what they say.

History: Jideh's history is simple. Jideh was born to a loving family some hundreds of kilometres away from the school, and when he manifested his ability to manipulate flora, the family's farm flourished. It was during a dry spell when Jideh nearly died from over-expending his energy that his family realized how much they were using him as a tool for their own gain, and so for his own benefit as well as their consciences, they sent him away to the school. The Basrah family farm still provides food to locations all over the world, and they consider Jideh to be their pride and joy. Their hope is that in time, Jideh will forgive them for their mistake, and that he will return to them even stronger than before, not only to furnish the land, but also to expand the farm and take over as its head. Jideh still doesn't know if that is the future that he desires, but he has come to the Elemental School nonetheless in the hopes that he will be able to figure out what he wants out of life throughout the course of the school year.

Equipment: Jideh has a seed pouch, Swiss Army Trowel, and his father's work gloves. These three things he carries with him no matter where he is.
