Ruka Blakely

Ruka was born in Cleodora city with a fairly normal family for the first few years of her life. Her younger brother was born around the time she reached four years old but, at the age of five, Ruka and her parents were involved in an awful car accident. The accident killed both of her parents and left Ruka mute because of an injury she sustained, though she miraculously survived. Nico, at the time, was under the care of their grandparents who would later be the ones to take in and raise the two. Although it was a traumatic event Ruka hardly remembers it because she was so young. Unfortunately this also means she hardly remembers her parents, only being able to recall small details, but she does remember the struggle to learn sign language after the incident.

All the way through school until about her freshmen year of high school Ruka was a bit of a loner. She received some bullying because of her inability to speak which only made her shy and timid personality worse. Making friends wasn't easy, after all she couldn't just go up to a random person and start a conversation, and most days she only had her grandparents and brother to go to for company. When she reached high school though, and moved to a new high school in the city, she was eventually approached by Ethan who noticed how often she was on her own. Naturally Ruka tried to avoid him but, being a bit of a sly person, he was able to catch her before she could. Although she recalls it being scary at the time she's grateful for it now because it was the start of two new friendships that she began to cherish. She would be introduced to Chase as well and her two new friends would start to study sign language for her own sake; something she's still grateful for.

When Cleodora is attacked both Ruka and Nico are out of the house running errands. The two of them immediately try to make it home once the attacks start and only manage to get away for so long because they run into Ethan who reveals to them the strange water manipulation powers he'd kept hidden until then. While making their escape (after discovering their house has been destroyed beyond repair) both Ruka and Nico discover their own unexplained powers. Nico develops powers of shadow manipulation while Ruka develops electricity manipulation powers. The two eventually decide to go along with Ethan who wishes to find their missing friend Chase, but also discover the reason for such senseless attacks.
