What are their powers/abilities?
Hydrokynesis: Aurora has the ability to control water in all forms, in and off its self. She is able to pull water from the air, plants, or other sources if she is not near a plentiful source. She is also able to freeze it at will. She can manipulate currents and waves in large bodies of water, form walls or barriers, shoot streams, jets or balls, as well as shooting ice spikes. With enough water she can freeze objects or people in place. Clearly the more access to water she has, the stronger she is.
Do they have any notable weaknesses?
As a water bender, her biggest weakness is fire and heat. They are the opposite to her own element and therefore the hardest for her to defend and fight against. Beyond that Rori is a very tiny person (5 for even and barely 100 pounds), so she is not very physically strong. She is very clumsy and accident prone and often times ends up being a bigger danger to herself than anyone else
What is their personality like?
Rori is an extremely timid and anxious person. She doesn't do well in crowds or getting to know knew people. Often she will find one person she is especially comfortable with and cling to them in any sort of public or social situation. She has a hard time speaking her mind, often getting tongue-ties and stumbling over her words. This only increases if she is around strangers or is talking about a personal subject. She also has a tendency to blush excessively. It's not a hard thing to make her do. Simply having all the attention on her is enough. The girl is also very anxious and exceedingly nervous. She has a habit of psychoanalyzing situations well as overthinking every thing that she says or does. She is constantly worried about messing up, saying something stupid, or hurting someone's feelings. Often she finds herself in situations where she needs help for some reason or another but she struggles to actually do for it, due to the fear of judgement and her own timidness, as well as a but of crippling selflessness that keeps her from ever wanting to put anyone out.
It takes time, but once Rori warms up to you and grows comfortable, she does become a bit more open. However she tends to find few people to become exceedingly close with rather than a while group. If at anytime someone she is unfamiliar with joins the few, she will shut down once again. Despite this the girl is excessively sweet and kind. She has a constant urge to help anyone and everyone she possibly could. She would rather go without herself than watch anyone else go without. She isn't very loud but she is particularly observant in her silence. She doesn't usually say much, but when she can get the courage to get the words out she always as something wonderful and/or insightful to share. She also offers good advice and is an excellent listener when someone needs to rant. Her shoulders are small but she would happily offer it up for someone to cry on. Rori is also extremely apathetic, to the point where it is often hurtful for her. She hates seeing those she cares about hurt or in distress and struggles deeply when she can't do anything to help. She struggles with an immense case of self-doubt and struggles to trust her choices or judgment no matter the case. She also has a tendency of self blame, even when there is no way it could logically be her fault.
What is their backstory?
Rori was born to two loving parents. She had a happy childhood, full of laughter and love and a plethora of fond memories. However, it wasn't long before she started showing signs of not being entirely human, but rather, a deviant as they called it. It started out small, the rain manuvering around her in ways it shouldn't, somehow leaving her completely dry in the middle of a storm. It increased quickly from there. Puddles levitating and then stalling mid air. Forming into shapes, before dropping to the ground again. Pools inexplecitly freezing and becoming ice rinks. Two parents who had once been very loving reacted in two very different ways and the divide slowly started ripping the family in two.
Aurora's mother father loved her just the same for her unique abilities and deviant nature. While he did fear for her safety, considering the world's outlook on the affair, his love and support for the young girl was consistent. He urged her to use her abilities, but to keep them hidden from the world. Her mother on the other hand, was completely repulsed. Initiallyshe banned the child from using her ability, convinced that she could repress the ability enough that she would be nothing more than human child and that things would go back to normal. When Rori failed to do such things, and lapsed into her power, it was met with punishment from her mother. The severity grew and grew until it became such severe abuse that it could not be hidden from her husband or the world anymore. It all escalated the day her mother broke her arm. Her father was completely livid, but a part of him still loved her. He told her to leave and never come back or he would call the police.
From then on it was just the two of them, at least for a while. When Auroa was 14 her father met another woman. The girl was wary at first, but she seemed kind enough. A couple years layer and Rori found herself with a new step-mother. They lived together as peaceful and happy family for several years after that. It was just a couple years before the attack on Sacremento that it all changed. It was the first day of her freshman year of college. Rori was nervous enough as it was, she didn't want to have to worry about catching the right busses and shuttles too so she asked her parents for a ride. Her father had to be to work early, but her step mother offered instead. So they got in the cars loaded up her school bag, even stopped to get breakfast on her way. However they drove right by her school and kept driving for miles after. Rori's questions were met with silence and it didn'ttake long for the eighteen year old to realize that something was up.
They pulled over a few towns over to stop for gas and Aurora took her chance, she flung open the door and made Hmm a run for it. Her stepmother had to proceed with caution, seeing as causing a seen would only draw unwanted attention. However, she chased the girl through the trees, tackled her to the ground, and bashed her over the head with a rock. The next thing Rori remembers is waking up alone in a cold, dark cell. She spent four years submitted to the torture and conversationtherapy of the dominion. She was young and despite a timid nature showed immense potential. Being timid and kind made her weak, easy to manipulate, but her power was promising. She proved to be a more difficult and than anyone could have ever expected. Despite a soft nature, her morales proved to be stronger than their ways in the end. She was rescued in 2011 with the rest of the deviants that had been captured in the Battle of New York.
After being rescued, it took several months to get the girl back to a stable state of mind. The Providence was patient, offering help where they could. She had suffered a lot of psychological damage and her natural traits such as timidness and anxiety had only increased to the point they were crippling. She struggled with self-doubt and suffered horrible night terrors. For many years she could hardly even exist, but she eventually began to work her way out of the rut. The scars would never truly go away, but the wounds had healed, for the most part. Rori stayed with the Providence and while she is still shy, timid, and as unsure of herself as ever, she is doing her best to help them with her cause.
