== History == Outlined because I'm sorry, I'm lazy. *Israeli, born and raised in Tel Aviv, parents are Jewish. Atarah, the mother is from a very traditional family and basically doesn't talk about said family. Hell, she prays in thanks that she left them. Matthew, the father, is pretty modern and liberal. She has four younger siblings, ranging from 15 to 6. The oldest two, 15 and 13 are boys. The younger pair, age 9 and 6, are both girls, but they are rather tomboyish. (Mary, the younger, may be just emulating Ariel, her big sister.) *Pretty mundane upbringing, loves strategy games and some measure of linguistics. She was expressing interest in becoming a diplomat when she got older. *Soon before her 18th birthday, there was an incident involving a fire that left Shamira really badly burned, but awakened very strange powers in her. Her parents literally quickly moved the family to the US, as her father's family lives there. Said incident apparently involving her mother's family trying to get the children. *After meeting two other people online that had weird elemental events happen to them, Shamira created the 'Elemental Spiral' to help connect people like her. *Reuben, her 15-year-old brother, has recently come into his own as well after falling off a balcony and landing safely. Unlike Shamira, he is an Air Aspect. He is a lot more interested in the implications of all of the crazy things happening, looking into the whys and hows instead of handling the now like Shamira. Oddly, while it's GLARINGLY obvious that Shamira is strange, there's only faint clues to Reuben's nature. The tips of his hair fade from black to gray as it grows out, which has forced him to cut his hair shorter than he likes. *At this point, she has realized there's more out there and has been talking to her parents about what has happened and how to handle things. No one in the family beyond her mother and father are aware that Shamira and Reuben are different. With Shamira's obvious physical changes, she gets a bit of flack but at least Mom and Dad get it. Sort of. *Atarah is the brains of the family, and while she is often stuck in the mindset she grew up with, she is much quicker on the draw and can adapt much faster than most people. She has a bit of a temper as well, and as she is the cook of the family, people have learned not to upset her when she is working. She will throw things at them. She lives in fear of her family finding her again and normally stays at home doing housework and reading. If she leaves the apartment, it's with one of the boys or with Shamira. She helps her kids with their homework and is very well learned. Her view of her children's powers is that G-d gave them gifts in apology for those accidents. *Matthew is a banker and takes his time with things, including his temper. Slow to action, slow to stop, he's basically a glacier. A big, easygoing glacier that is very forgiving. There is one time he will move in a fury, and that is when his family is threatened. With Atarah and his combined efforts, they got the family out of the country within days of Shamira's accident and back to his family in New York City. While he is normally very calm, he feels frazzled when it comes to his children, what with two of them being Exalted and his two youngest expressing issues about their bodies... It's as if the only 'normal' one is his middle son... and when he realized that, Matthew decided not to think about it. Surely G-d would jinx it if he ever said it out loud.
