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. That said, she wasn't free from prejudice herself - no, she grew up mostly alone for an entirely different reason.

Superstition regarding a curse on her family. 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. She didn't let it get to her much, but she spent most of her time growing up alone. Eventually, when it became clear that she was an elementalist she was enrolled at the academy to further hone her abilities.

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.
