Immunity to Fire - Alessia can withstand intense heat and does not appear to suffer harm from contact with fire. Fire Bending - Alessia may manipulate fire she comes into contact with. She can also summon it, but only during the day when the sun is out. The brighter the sun, the stronger her power over the element. [b]Weakness:[/b] Alessia is at her weakest during the night as she draws her powers from the sun itself. She is greatly reduced in power when not in it's presence or in a dark place where there isn't any natural light. Alessia can also not fire bend nor can she imbue flame into her sword without the presence of sunlight, however she remains immune to it regardless of day and night. Alessia's main weakness is cold temperatures, water or magic that revolves around the elements of ice and water. When introduced to it directly she will become allot slower, weaker and find it difficult to concentrate. [b]Background:[/b] Hidden deep within the mountains of [url=http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/315/4/b/city_scene_by_chaoyuanxu-d4fvguw.jpg]Guójiā De Huǒ[/url] (Country of Fire) lay's the secluded capital city called Tula Fey. The majority of It's people worship the sun and the city itself boasts symbolism as well as monuments that express it's religion. Even large temples were built for it's people to pray and show their devotion to the faith. It was this city that Alessia was born, her future sealed by the very history of the family which raised her. Her mother, a women called Freya, the first of the Elemental Knights was born with the ability to control the flame. At first people marvelled at her powers, calling it a gift from their god before looking to her as a prophet to the people. Her mother of course denied these claims, and merely put it down to a rare anomaly, a defection of birth. Pretty soon word reached the cities lord who in outrage had her seized, declaring her a heretic to the faith. He had her cast into the fires of Tula Fey's tallest tower, only to discover she would not burn. The lord stubbornly held her within the tower for a week, the towers of Tula Fey constantly burning in a futile attempt to scorch her body. On the eighth day the giant doors to the tower opened, the lord staring in disbelief as her mother rose from the fires of Tula Fey, like a Phoenix from it's ashes before she struck down the lord in the name of the sun. Her hair had been imbued with a strong red colour and her eyes shone with a sunset yellow. Months had passed before a new lord was appointed, elected by the people of Guójiā De Huǒ. The new lord spoke with Freya, deciding her abilities could serve better to protect the people, to inspire them. Years had come to pass before more of these anomalies began to appear around the city, men and women with blonde hair, red hair and ginger hair all with abilities to manipulate fire. Freya looked to these people and began to pull them together into what would become the first Elemental Knights, the protectors of the faith and the people. More years had come to pass, Freya having fallen in love and given birth to her daughter Alessia who like her mother, was born with the gift. When Alessia came of age she was introduced into the Elemental Knights where she served up until recently, when it seemed the land was torn by the war and the demonic uprisings. Guójiā De Huǒ was a secluded land, peaceful in nature. But it seemed it wouldn't be long before a side came calling for their involvement. The lord called for a portion of the Elemental Knights to spread out from the city and find out what was going on with the world. Alessia has been fulfilling her orders since, travelling about the world looking for clues and answers, anything that her home could use to better prepare them for what might come. [b]Fun Fact:[/b] She absolutely loves tea, especially when it's hot. Often when relaxing Alessia will be making some and will be eager to share it among friends. Hope this is ok. There might be a few mistakes here and there since it's very early in the morning. So I might neaten it up ^^
