• EASILY DISTRACTED. She was going to work on homework... but video games! They're too good!

• BRYCE. Her brother frightens her because she never knows what he'll end up doing.
  

BEST MEMORY The first time she beat Mega Man 9. She hates losing so she played that game for days straight until she made a victorious run-through. Satisfaction: Immense.

WORST MEMORY When she was still in middle school and talking tough to a group of guys that were teasing her, they decided they'd show her just how 'tough' they were. There were four of them and she was alone so she got scraped up pretty bad.

LONG-TERM GOAL She keeps none. Annabel lives entirely in the moment. Really, though, she just has no idea what she wants to do with herself.

HISTORY

The baby of the family, Annabel was born as the third of Donovan and Patricia Dale's children. She was also the first and only girl, with her brothers Bryce and Joshua being six and seven respectively. She grew up in her parents' Maple Hollow mansion, developing a good relationship with Joshua but a distant one with Bryce. The former was patient and tolerant of the little girl toddling curiously in his footsteps but the latter was angry and often yelled at her if she hung around when he didn't want her to. Their parents tried to rectify this by forcing Bryce to share his sister's company but after a while Annabel learned to simply stay out of his way. Her parents first introduced her to a girl called Kelly who lived in a similar mansion down the street and this girl became her first and best friend. She proved from a young age to be a social creature, easily adapting to Kelly's more blunt and closed-off personality and accepting it in favour of getting along. She made many more friends once she hit school age, attending private schools from the very start.

It was through Kelly's older brother that she found her love of video games, the first one she ever played being Fallout 2. It wasn't a good game for a girl of six years old but she was addicted and would often ask to go over to her friend's so that she could play. Video games had a bit of a negative impact on her grades, though, because she would often neglect her homework in favour of fun. Joshua often helped her study for tests when it was necessary and Annabel was thankfully at least bright enough to make average marks but they were never anything special. She was fine with that, though. Her dedication went to keeping a large circle of friends and having as much fun as possible. Despite being the younger sister of two boys, they never pressured her much into acting and thinking as they did. Josh was usually busy with school and Bryce didn't want anything to do with her and so she grew into sports and video games of her own accord. She also liked shopping, slumber parties, doing her nails. Her femininity was not compromised by her choice of other activities.

She was only eight years old when Bryce was sent off to Nova Scotia to 'stay with relatives'. In reality, his parents had sent him to a mental health facility in the province due to his unstable issues with anger. She had not witnessed the confrontation between her brothers and was not told until years later that they had fought and Joshua had wound up in the hospital because of it. She was told that Josh had gotten sick and that Bryce had left because he wanted to. Any questions about the incident were met with sour looks from the other members of the family. She hesitantly accepted the confusing situation as truth and moved on. She remained popular at school over the years, though she did get pushed around a bit like most kids do. Her eldest brother, fiercely protective as he was, always seemed to be there to defend her. This was part of the reason that Annabel idolized Joshua so much and also why she started to fight back. She was never overwhelmingly strong but the girl soon learned that in a bind with a male, there was a certain sweet spot that could quickly get her out of trouble. She wasn't afraid to punch anyone that sassed her, either, and she was suspended once or twice for schoolyard violence. Oops.

She was used to seeing Joshua every day, if only in passing. So at age eleven when he didn't return home for several, she knew something was amiss. She asked her parents and they simply said that he was staying at school (she knew of their family's elemental abilities) and that he'd be around soon enough. It was a bit lonely without her brother and it caused her trust in him to waver when she found out that he'd been lying to her. It caused her to mature a little, to realise that the world was not all sunshine and butterflies. She was fast to forgive her eldest sibling, though, and when he vanished for a second time she guessed what happened rather than having to be told. Meanwhile, Annabel stayed busy by trying to bring up her grades enough to graduate middle school, knowing that she might gain acceptance into the very Academy her brother attended. She moved in with Joshua when she was thirteen and their parents entrusted the mansion to him. She didn't want to leave the house she'd grown up in and she was rather attached to her eldest brother and his fiancée, so it seemed like a good idea to her.

In that same year, a few months later, her powers surfaced. Rather than being thrilled as most young elementals are, Annabel was at first devastated by the realization. Instead of being a Fire elemental like the rest of their family, like she'd always wanted to be, Annabel's personality caused her to harness the gift of Water. It broke her heart and she was terrified of being shunned by her family. She first tried to hide the fact that she'd gotten her powers until Joshua worriedly brought up the fact that the new year was nearing and she hadn't yet produced her gift. Tearfully she told him that she 'wasn't like the rest of them' and that she'd rather not go to the Academy, because she was the black sheep of the family and she didn't want to face the embarrassment. Her parents and brother were supportive rather than condescending and they managed to coax her into putting her name in for the Academy. She's still yet to adapt to the fact that she possesses Water abilities instead of Fire but a small part of her is at least glad she's an elemental at all and excited to begin her first year at the Academy of the Elements.
