BEST MEMORY When Altair and her sisters were seven and their parents took them to the park. It was innocuous event in their childhood, but looking back, Altair remembers it as the last time she was genuinely happy with the two of her sisters.
WORST MEMORY Syria's death destroyed her more than anything could. Yet, she would argue, it had made her stronger in the end. She still misses the girl.
LONG-TERM GOAL One would assume that she'd like to see her name in lights, to be successful as a model, but this isn't her dream. What she really wants is to see Rowena become a success.

OTHER N/A.
HISTORY Altair's childhood was like many others'. Perhaps except for the fact that she was a triplet, the oldest of the three. She made sure her sisters realized this. Rowena, Syria, and Altair grew up in an upper-middle class home, their parents just like any other white-picket fence family. As children, they were close-knit and always together, their parents going so far as to dress them in the same clothes. Because of this, the three enjoyed screwing around with other people and confusing them when it came to their identities. Otherwise, they were just like any other little girls. Altair had always been a little wild, her temper apparent even as a child. However, she had no idea she would turn out to be an elemental when she hit puberty, Fire blooming at her fingertip once when she had become truly incensed. Altair had been enamored with her gift. Her parents, however, thought differently of it.
The three did not go to the Academy.
Syria had been the first to lose touch with herself and her sister. One night at a party, her best friend died and thus Syria drifted away from the other two. Altair pretended like it didn't bother her all that much, always keeping up a macho facade even though she worried about the girl constantly. Rowena was the one to come up with an idea to bring them back together when they were all fourteen and that was modelling. Altair was quick to agree to anything that let her show off her body. The agents were enchanted by the charismatic girls, thought them a .novelty It only took convincing from Syria for their parents to let them into the lifestyle. Like Rowena, Altair went by her middle name--Sabina. She felt fabulous, on top of the world, and it was as if she and her sisters could finally reunite.
She would soon be proven wrong.
Rowena was a train wreck, as far as Altair could see. She fell in with the other models and their ideas of self-image. The Fire elemental hadn't succumbed to it for she felt perfect in every single way, she felt on top of the world. But Rowena's health declined as Al noticed the pinpricks in her arms. Her sister worsened over time, and even though Altair kept up her confident and superior attitude, she finally realized that nothing was making her happy anymore because the only thing she felt she had was crumbling in front of her. Her sisters meant everything to her, and they were falling apart.
Eventually, she caved to the pressure and began her self-destructive behavior. Ironically, however, her excessive drinking and partying wouldn't be what ended her career. Walking down the runway for a show, she was momentarily disoriented lights and fell, breaking her leg in several parts. The pain was intense, but the hospital gave her god's gift in the form medication--Vicodin. It made everything go away, made it disappear. The dependency developed quickly and she knew that she would not be able to get off it when she needed to. Fights came often between the girls and their parents, Altair punching her father in the jaw during one particular confrontation. She was a naturally angry person, getting into fights with whoever she could and falling into all the wrong crowds. She'd party, drink, smoke, do anything to make herself feel better. It came to turning tricks to afford this lifestyle.
It came to the point where the three of them decided that in order to avoid the law, their best bet was Canada. They had enough money to fly out, and when they got there, scouts from the academy came and swooped them up. They enrolled into this school full of 'freaks' as their parents had called them, and understood that all they had were each other. Altair's ways didn't change--it was partying and turning tricks and violence and trying to feel alive. She found something similar to modeling in stripping, and it's a good way to meet customers.
Then Syria died, and it was the wake up call that they needed to get their shit together. She flushed her medication down the toilet. She focused back on school, becoming Fire leader in her senior year. Now in her freshman year of college, Altair has gotten back into modelling, no longer turning tricks or stripping. Though she tries to be responsible for Ro's sake, old habits die hard.
