Name: Astraea Hayes
Age: 19
Birthday: May 1
Gender: Female (she, her, hers)
Species: Human
Category: Student
Class: College
Grade: Freshman
College Major: undeclared, with a fondness for theatre arts
Appearance Description: Shoulder length reddish brown hair, hazel (with more green than brown) eyes, 5’4” in height, and a slender, toned build.
Personality Description: Astraea can be timid in a new place. Unlike her twin she enjoys making friends. When she first meets someone, she often speaks mostly just when spoken to. Once she gets to know people she is more open, though she doesn’t tell most people everything about herself.
Active Powers
Ability to speak words of power in an ancient language (Latin, or Ancient Egyptian) and manifest results. The healing or destruction spells can be doubled in strength if the twins hold hands and cast them in tandem.
Water/Ice Elementalist
Conjure/Manipulate Water and Ice: She can conjure water to fill her water bottle or a pot with ease. She can also control, to a certain extent, the temperature of the water. Making things colder is easier than making them hotter.
Water/Cold Healing: When she is drained, or sick, resting somewhere cold and/or drinking cold water helps her body heal faster. If she would need to rest for 3 hours, being somewhere cold or drinking more cold water than the average person needs would make her need only 2 hours rest instead. She cannot currently use water/cold to heal others.
Passive Powers
She has a telepathic/empathic bond with her twin. So long as they are within a 10 mile radius of each other, they can hear and feel each others thoughts and emotions. She doesn't share that sort of connection with anyone else, nor is she able to concentrate to hear other people's thoughts or emotions.
When she is feeling intense emotions the air in a 10’ radius around her cools down by a max of 10 degrees during extremely stressful/intense times.
Weaknesses
Fire/Heat: She overheats faster than the average human. Extended exposure (of an hour or more) in heat results in her getting dehydrated and getting a fever. The fastest way for her to heal is to sip at ice water, possibly while sitting in a cold bath. Using Fire/Heat magic drains her quickly as stated above.
Biography: Astraea and her twin brother Conal were born in the United States to magical parents. They were raised hearing stories of the witch trials in Ireland and Europe and with the fear that history will repeat itself. They went through grade school trying to hide their magic from their classmates and teachers. Astraea was terrified when their secret was seen by a teacher their senior year of high school. They were having lunch in her classroom and Astraea was reading a book. There was an Egyptian spell in the book, which prompted the thought, <I bet this isn't a real spell> right before she read a word of power from her book and shattered a desk. She quickly passed out. When she regained consciousness she was horrified by what she had done. Their teacher laughed softly and fixed the desk with magic. She then told the twins about a place called Starlight Academy were they could potentially hone their abilities without fear of persecution. She offered to take them there directly. As it was close to graduation, the twins agreed to go after graduating.
Resources: She and her twin share a dorm. They have a bit of money from doing odd jobs while in High School. They supplement their funds by working a part time job.

Active Powers
Ability to speak words of power in an ancient language (Latin, or Ancient Egyptian) and manifest results. The healing or destruction spells can be doubled in strength if the twins hold hands and cast them in tandem.
- Heal/Mend: using a word or phrase of power she can heal someone that is injured or repair an object that is damaged. The more severe the damage, the longer she must apply focus and the more energy she would use. Healing a few cuts or scrapes isn't tiring. Using this spell on someone with life-threatening injuries, she would likely only be able to stabilize them before passing out for 18-24 hours.
- Break/shatter/apart: using a word or phrase of power she can break something or take apart something built. She mostly uses this to take apart set pieces during strike (the time after a play when the set is taken down and props and costumes returned to their proper places). The more complex the item in question, the more energy it uses. A metal set piece with multiple parts would require an hour or two of rest before attempting more magic (using magic again without the rest runs the risk of getting dizzy or passing out depending on the power of the new spell), using the same spell on a wooden set piece with an equal amount of parts would only require a half hour break, and could potentially be done twice nearly in a row (though she then needs that two hours of rest that is needed for one complex metal set piece). This spell can potentially be used to break someone's arm or leg (or any bone), though she would only do that if being attacked or if her brother is being attacked.
- Fire/Heat: using a word or phrase of power, she can manipulate fire. Fire/Heat magic drains her greatly. If her brother is sick, she might conjure heat to warm a cloth to put on her brother’s forehead. After doing so, she would need to sit down for a few minutes to keep from getting dizzy. Lighting a fire in a fireplace or heating a thick blanket magically requires at least a half hour rest before doing anything else magical or not, or she risks passing out.
