Hey no fair... you basically chose the same power Sarah has!
Go toss some fire instead? We haven't got that yet lol
:)
That was fun to watch, indeed....
She's in... game on! lol
Sarah walked across the grounds, trying to look like she belonged there. Which wasn't easy, considering she'd arrived less than an hour earlier. She had been given half an hour to put her bags in her room and get a feel for the place, and then the girl had returned to give her directions to the arena for her first lesson. [Come on Sarah, get a grip. You don't want to blow the place up on your first day] Sarah chuckled at the thought, as she approached the building the girl had indicated. Before entering the arena, Sarah entered the bathroom. She ran the tap and let the cool water wash over her hands. Feeling cooler, more composed, she reluctantly turned off the water, dried her hands by running them through her hair and took a deep breath. [ Let's do this]

Sarah entered the arena just as an enormous dragonlike creature dug his wing into the ground and tossed part of the arena towards a tiny looking girl on the other side of the arena. She then looked around for the other students. Some had sat down to enjoy what was obviously going to be a fight, others were still standing around. One girl seemed to feel right at home, camera and trailmix in hand, she seemed ready to enjoy the spectacle. [Wait, was she holding the camera with her hair??? Awesome!]
Sarah wasn't sure what to do. She had been warned that class had already started, but this wasn't exactly what she had pictured. In the end, she decided to go with what the girl with the wicked hair was doing and sat down somewhere behind her.

Name: Sarah James

Age: 15

Gender: Female

Appearance:


Powers: Water
Sarah can control water, but only when she’s near a source. This means she knows when she’s near water, or the general direction she should look in, but she cannot trace the plumbing in the walls, so to speak.
Sarah has some control over her powers, and has even begun training herself. She cannot keep this up very long, and has problems focusing her attention. She also loses her shit when she gets angry.

Personality: Sarah is anything but shy. She is a rowdy girl who isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty. She doesn’t seek the spotlight, but somehow it usually finds her. Sarah is fun loving and intelligent. She uses humor as a shield, but once you get through this you’ll never find a more loyal friend.

Background: Sarah grew up in a lighthouse on a small island off the coast. She loved living near the sea, though it was an isolated area. She is an only child, and her parents home schooled her. Not because they were overprotective, but simply because it was easier than making the trip to the mainland every day. She was enrolled in the local High School as an online student, and most teachers were very accommodating.

The family found out about her powers the one time Sarah was really upset. Sarah was 12 and always stressed. Something about the sea made her restless, but her parents attributed it to puberty and tried to move on with normal life. Sarah wanted to move away from the water and its constant pull, wanted to go to school, but simultaneously feared the other children. During this stressful time, her father was in a serious accident, and Sarah did not know how to deal with her emotions. He was in the hospital, and she was on her little island. In a flurry of frustration, fear, feelings and tears, she blew up the plumbing. Water came pouring out of the walls, the shower and toilet were destroyed and during the long minutes it took her mother to shut off the main water supply, the house seemed to cry along with Sarah. Thankfully, her father recovered, and the cottage was rebuilt.
These days, there’s no running water in the house itself. Behind the cottage, there’s a small fenced off area with a structure in the centre. This structure houses the shower, toilet and laundry room. A small tunnel underground connects both buildings.

Sarah’s parents researched the whole thing online, and discovered that Sarah is one of many children who face similar challenges. This discovery did not change their love for their daughter, and the family remains close and loving.

After intensive training with her mother, Sarah now heads away from the house, towards the sea, when she loses control. She now understands her connection to the water, and the way it calls to her, and being near water calms her. And she can let go of her emotions and mess with the waters around the island without hurting anyone.
That’s why her parents built the “washhouse” on the other end of their property. Sarah spends most of her time studying for school, or working on controlling her powers and emotions. She has never lost control like that again, at least, not in the house…

Trying to guide and teach her daughter as best she could, Sarah’s mother spent hours and hours online, looking for ways to help her daughter. When the Safe Haven academy came up for the 6th time that day, she clicked the link and read with increasing awe. Later that night, after Sarah had gone to bed, she discussed things with Sarah’s father.
The next day, they suggested it to Sarah. The thought of leaving left her conflicted. Being around people and unseen water all the time scares her. But her wish to understand and control her powers more fully won out in the end, and here she is.

Sarah did not arrive with the other students, because a storm made it impossible for her to leave the lighthouse island for several days. Her parents had their suspicions, but Sarah assured them she had nothing to do with it. Reports from the mainland confirmed her story. This storm was way bigger than anything Sarah had manifested before. Gradually, the storm died down and Sarah’s new adventure stretched out before her.
Sarah takes comfort in the idea that even the sea was sad to see her go, and is eager to return home as often as she can. She misses her parents and her home, but is determined to make the best of the situation.

@Dutchess Sarah As the Haven only has normal classes until 18 years old, she could still train and live in the Haven with 20, but not attend to the "normal" classes. But yeah, she could also be an ex student that comes to train with the older guys and sometimes joins in the "special" classes. And she could also have this "high degree" power training with some other teachers. Like one on one and so.

((EDITED))


In that case, I'll alter her age and just have her join class a little late... with all this going on, she should be able to sneak in, right? lol
I edited the original CS and made her 15... I'll just have her sneak into class, shall I?
@Drakey
Just thinking out loud... some help would be appreciated, as my character is supposed to know some of the inner workings of the school... always fun to play someone more knowledgeable than yourself...
@Drakey @Kaesus I was thinking... since Sarah is older than the others... maybe I'd make her a second year student? She spent the summer at home and returns (a little late) for the new school year?
Or would you prefer to keep everyone on a newbie level?
she's up... tell me what you think?
