✪ Statice: Remembrance. Sympathy. Success.
My story is a nice and simple one. I've lived in a small town located within Ireland for as long as I can remember, with my Mama and Papa. I was born on a stormy night, with rain battering against the windows of the small home my parents where situated in. Something bad was going to happen...they knew it. And it did. I was born with this sickness, this strange power to act similar to a plant. The people who had birthed me immediately fled from the cottage, while my parents looked at me in horror. From then on, I was raised cautiously, most people who came near me scared of what I could and would do. My older sister, Arianne, was the only one that really accepted me. I loved her with all my heart. However, one day, I had smelled a poisonous flower without really meaning to, as my body does not become affected by natural poisons due to my ability. I unconsciously let out the gas while playing with my sister, who immediately became permanently paralyzed, since the flower was a very harmful one. She was ushered away by the townspeople, who glared at me as they rushed her off. I was scared, thinking that I had lost the only one that really thought about me, and that it was all my fault for holding this kind of power within me.
My sister was sent away for 'help', while I was to remain in the town and wait for the people's verdict. Had I injured my sister on purpose? I remember I had closed my eyes that day, feeling helpless and utterly alone; my parents had long since turned their backs on me. However, when I was about to be punished for my act, a village Elder named Nani came to my rescue. She decreed that I would live by myself in solitude, and at the age of eighteen, would be able to travel to a academy called Sorcerers, supposedly to help me with this ability. Nani later told me that the school would train me to control it, instead of getting rid of it. Of course I refused to train in it- what good would this do? I didn't want to hurt anyone any longer. However, I eventually agreed with her, moving to a small cottage on the outskirts of the town, spending my time reading, and wanting to see more of the world, waiting for the day when I could finally go to Sorcerers.
