Backstory:    She was raised in a large family on the outskirts of her town. She had 2 older sisters, 1 younger sisters, 3 older brothers, and the youngest of a group her younger brother. All blessed with amazing looks she was considered the ugly duckling. It was hard growing up in her family. with so many children she often felt left out. Not like her other siblings who were about maintaining their image, going out with their friends, shopping and so forth. She prefered to day dream and spend what she could on the less fortunate of the town. She learned fast she couldn't trust any one. Her siblings, while they loved her, would only hang out with her if forced to by their parents, The other kids in her neighborhood would use their friendship with her to get closer to her other 'hotter' siblings. So she turned to exploring the forested areas that led away from the town. She found herself a hidden lake. While spending time around the lake she soon discovered some weak magical ability with in herself. Stronger concerning water and ice. One day while playing around the lake using her water abilities a person came buy and discovered her. He told her of a school far away in a different town where she could start a new life with more then a water/ice dragon for company. He told her to show up there at a certain day and he would take her on as his apprentice so she could go. He left her with the location and left. She thought long and hard. While she ate silently with her family who were too busy talking to each other to ever notice how quiet she was. While she was doing her chores, while she laid in bed. One day her mother pulled her aside and asked what was going on. The only person to really notice her and accept her for her. (even though she can get lost in such a big family from time to time) her mother, with tears in her eyes encouraged her to start a new life there praying her daughter would be happier in life if she did. The next day her mother helped her pack everything she needed with some extra food making her swear not to give it to others like she knew she would. with goodbys from the other family members she made her way to her new life. When she finally arrived she was told she still had to pass at least one of the tests to be accepted. To create a uniform for herself using her own magick. While she was concentrating she kept thinking about how she wanted to for once feel pretty and like a princess like all of her sisters felt on a daily bases. This caused her uniform to warp to what it is now. The teacher taking her on as an apprentice some how knew her desire to just feel wanted and beautiful allowed her, much to the dismay of the other teachers. Still she did feel stunning. She soon met another apprentice witch mahina and became fast friends. Her first friend that wasn't her familiar dragon. She would do anything to protect her first true friend.
