[¤--Name :: Ember Delacroix
[¤--Pronunciation ::
[¤--Alias :: Em, Flower
[¤--Age :: 15
[¤--Powers :: Plants; near total control of plants in all their shapes and forms. She can do things like stiffen blades of grass so that it'll hurt the feet of the person walking on them, soften those blades of grass so that the walker will sink somewaht into the ground, or cause that grass to grow to a height that will hinder the walker or hide something like an animal from them. She can do the same to flowers and their like as long as they are within a four (4) mile radius of her. Trees and larger plants she has to touch to get the same affect. She's also fond of manipulating vines so that they form and look like animals (except for the color). She cannot change the colors of the plants unless she's grown them herself. With the plants that she's grown herself, she can change the colors as well as change the properties of them (like ridding her poison ivy of it's itch causing property or enhancing it). All plants she can manipulate to seem as if they are moving.

History
--¤--
[¤--Past :: Ember was placed into an orphanage shortly after her birth. Her mother had died in childbirth and her father had abandoned her mother the minute she went into labor with Ember. Ember was told this as soon as she was 4 years old, still being in the orphanage at that time. She was adopted a few days later and it was there, at what had only just become her home, that she discovered what she could do with plants. Her dad had given her mom a daisy as a gift but the flower wilted within hours of being in the house. Ember found herself wishing that she could fix the flower and as she watched, the flower started to grow again, and was no longer wilting. Excited, she grabbed the flower and ran it to her adoptive mom while shouting "Lookie!" at the top of her lungs. Her mom was suprised but happy.
Over the next week, Ember would keep trying to repeat what she had done with the daisy. She managed it several times, but messed up just as often. It was found out that she would go completely deaf by the time that she was 6 years old. The neighbors saw her manipulating plants one day and she was chased back to the orphanage with the neighbors and what had been her parents chanting the word "Monster." over and over again.
She ran back to what had been her room, only to find another kid in it. Frightened, Ember would run and hide in the cupboards, and not be found for two days. She was starving when they found her, and she didn't want to be touched. She could still hear that one, damning word echoing in her mind. Monster. It scared her, and the next year something similar would happen to her again, enforcing her fear of the word and landing her with the scar across her nose from when she was running and tripped and fell.
Remembering what she had learned about her hearing, Ember would often be found outside, playing with whatever animal that was nearby. Whenever a family came to pick out the next lucky child, Ember would again hide in the cupboards, fearful of that same thing happening to her yet again. She watched the children as they left with their new families or as they arrived while sobbing at their misfortune. She'd noticed that there was one other child that was always looked over in favor of someone else. A boy a year older than she and whose name was roune.
A few hours before she would lose her hearing completely, Ember got into a fight with another girl over the fact that Ember was always hiding when new families came. She was accused of not wanting to be adopted, but nothing could have been farther from the truth. Ember climbed up a nearby tree and hid among the branches. The girl followed, and Ember wished that the tree could protect her, throw the other girl off it and keep Ember hidden. She imagined this, and was confused when she opened her eyes and saw that that was exactly what had happened. The other girl fell down to the ground. She shouted up at Ember that she was a monster and Ember curled up to cry herself to sleep with that same word echoing in her ears. The other girl was found in the same spot the next morning, not moving.
Ember woke that mornig, unable to hear people shouting for her. One of the searchers was standing right under her, but everything was silent. She'd lost her hearing, and the last word she'd heard was Monster.
When she was 7 years old and had been deaf for a little over a year, she spotted that roune boy being teased, yet again. This time Ember got angry at the other boy, she yelled at him and demanded that he leave roune alone and mind his own business, then she sat next to roune whan the boy had left and said that she had done it to keep him from attacking the boy and getting in trouble.
The two became friends and remained so until one day when he was 14 and she 13. Ember had just woken from another nightmare, one in which everyone she knew found out about her being able to manipulate plants and they all, including roune, chased her away while shouting that word all over again, calling her a monster. No matter what roune did, it only managed to cheer her barely, not enough to gain a smile. She's still surprised that he kissed her, but quite pleased that it lead to where they are now.
Since that day the two have been an inseperable couple. Finally he revealed to her his ability to manipulate gravity, and in return she showed him her ability to mainpulate plants. She couldn't believe that he had powers like her, but it allowed them both to be sent to the same special school for people like them, so she could only be only happy about it.
