Physical Description:
Blaze is tallish, slightly above average, but not enough to look freaky. Her skin is naturally pale, though now it's a shade darker from sun exposure, it's smooth to the touch except on a few scars on her arms. If she had a good diet, she'd probably be less slim, and more curvy, but she doesn't, so she just has toned limbs and decent enough curves.
Her attire is usually pants and a loose white shirt. She has a cloak with her too for those cold winter nights.
She has long wavy wild red hair that she's unable to get into a ponytail. Her golden gaze gives her a feral appearance, but appearances deceive, don't they?
Possessions: She doesn't believe in stuffing her pockets with money or valuable stuff. The only constant are her faithful daggers that she earned in a fight.
Powers or Strengths:
*Fire Manipulation:
-Small fireballs she normally uses to cause distractions or have some fun. These can only be aimed from a short distance.

*Snow and cold in general weaken her if exposed to it for a long period of time. They give her headaches and her muscles get sore.
History:
Blaze was born in a little house in the city of Marn, surrounded by all the necessary things. Her family was formed by her parents and her two older twin siblings, Jake and Claire. Her father was a blacksmith who rarely was at home, but when he was, he would always tell his children stories or play with them. Claire was always the serious one, Jake joked around a lot; both of them making Blaze a person who can be very random, and unpredictable.
One of her father's favorite stories was the one about her great grandmother from her mother's side. He told them that she was in her late teens and she came across a dragon who had been poisoned with magic. Grandma knew exactly which spell to pronounce in order to free him from this, so they made a deal. She would help him, on the condition her blood would be even more magical. This particular dragon, being a tricky one, accepted and took off flying.
"...Did great grandma get her powers?" Blaze would ask curiously.
"No, she didn't."
This magic that was supposed to be for Gradma, was transfered to someone else who had her blood,being this someone, Blaze. And so that's how the dragon kept his part of the deal.
Her siblings and her went to the local elementary school and she learned to read and write properly. She had many friends but they always got in a lot of troubles because of her. They played climbing trees and playing tag. She never turned down a challenge, feeling like she had to show everybody she could be more than just one more citizen. She wanted to be more, just like her great grandma had.
She spent her time like that, playing and stirring troubles wherever she went. Her brother, Jake, taught her how to fight, in case she needed it someday. Just defensive moves she the offensive meant having more strenght, something she lacked. They practiced at least three times a week, and she became good enough at it.
At age of 12 was when she discovered she had magic. A kid at school was making fun of her and her family for being from a family with magic, a few other joined him and soon, it was some major bullying scene. Nobody noticed she was not scared, sad or embarrased; she was angry. The air around her suddenly felt colder, as if she had just stepped into a Zhaltev in winter; but her hands warm, and the heat just kept increasing. Candles nearby lit on their own and when the flames grew higher than normal the kids started to freak out and ran away. Because of this for fear of what could happen to her, Blaze's parents took her to Shim in secret to live with an aunt.
She moved there, but missed her family terribly. Her aunt was not mean to her, she was actually a nice middle-aged woman with an infinite patience; but it wasn't the same. Blaze grew up and learned many things about hard work and perseverance from her aunt. Saorise, her aunt, had a garden where she kept many unusal herbs. She used them for all kinds of purposes. With her aunt, Blaze learned too to identify which herb was for what and their name. That's how she figured out how to make a poison. Saorise not once commented about Blaze's magic, she never asked her about it, nor Blaze started that conversation. But it laid there, between them, an invisble barrier that kept them from having complete trust in each other.
Her best friend, Ryoran, who lived a few houses away from her aunt's, was her lifeboat to sanity. He kept her feral side at bay with his jokes and easy-going attitude. They developed an almost brother-sister relationship, and the way he saw life was a total new world for her. The 'Screw the world' idea made her be more independent and confident about her powers. She finally decided to tell Ry about them, dreading he'd leave her and say he didn't want to be her friend anymore. But he had just grinned.
"Geez girl with the face you had, one would think you killed somebody!"
In the last six years, she haven't heard from her family in Marn. Now that she's eighteen, she'll bid her aunt farewell and prepare for the journey to the city to find out about her parents and siblings.
