HISTORY
Siobhan was born on May 12th, 1992 in Albany, New York. Her parents are both lawyers, and own and operate their own firm, specialising in personal injury. Siobhan and her Brother Jon were expected to follow in their parents' high-achieving footsteps, but Jon rebelled quite vehemently, choosing instead to pursue his one true love, Music.
Siobhan shares the Thunder Elemental with her Mom, who made her name as a trusted attorney by being totally detached from their situation, instead focusing on the case details, and talking her way into winning. Siobhan shares the same 'talk until you submit' kind of trait, but she doesn't really use it much.
Her Father and Brother, on the other hand, are Fire Elementals. They share a ferocious temper, and both are quick to rush into decisions and, inevitably, don't like facing up to the consequences.
Siobhan and Jon were groomed by their parents throughout their childhood to become superlawyers, but when Jon bought a guitar from a thrift store when he was ten, that was the end of that.
He continued to maintain his superiority over Siobhan, but she didn't really let it get to her. She just read her books and wrote her short stories.
When her powers started to develop, her mother was the first one to notice. She was thrilled that her daughter had manifested as a Thunder, and she explained to her the details of such a responsibility over and over again. Jon and her father just high-fived a lot and messed around with Jon's emerging power. He showed absolutely no interest in pursuing any kind of Elemental Training, and he stuck to mainstream schooling, and is currently working as a freelance musician and songwriter.
Her parents were so determined about Siobhan becoming a Lawyer in her childhood years, they were reluctant to let her go to BC for School, but when they saw now depressed she was when her powers became a little unpredictable, and how frustrated she was when her parents couldn't help, they agreed to let her go, under the condition that she consider doing Law when she reached College age.
When she also refused this, and told her parents she wanted to do Journalism and English, her trust fund was cut off, and now she's not allowed to access her money until she reaches the age of 25.
She doesn't care if she's stone cold broke, and her tuition's paid for until she graduates. So the only thing she's focusing on is trying to make friends and improve her creative writing skills.
She carries a worn notebook around with her everywhere, and takes notes on everyone and everything she comes into contact with. She fully understands the Alliances and Enemies system that come with her powers, and the responsibilities that also go along with this.

SECRET WORD Correct
RP SAMPLE"Miserable, exhausted and damn lonely, Sarah had taken a day off after her encounter with Joey, who strangely seemed to be more interested in talking to her with enough liquor in his system to take down a sumo wrestler.
She was driving home from an impromptu trip to Portland, with a very scared potential cure in her back seat.
Pulling into her dark driveway, she killed the ignition and let out a deep breath as she looked back for what felt like the millionth time that day and smiled at the small creature in the carrier the shelter gave her.
Huddled inside was a one-year-old Russian Blue Cat. Sarah had fallen head over heels in love with him when she found his profile on the Portland shelter's website.
Excited beyond belief, Sarah had called the shelter and had the paperwork faxed to her office, when she signed it and set up a time to come over and pick him up. She'd spent a couple of hours with him in Portland, and he seemed to take a liking to her pretty fast, which Sarah seemed to think was a good sign.
Getting out of the car, she went around to the back seat, opened the door and retrieved her new friend, knocking the back door shut with her hip as she sauntered up to the front door and pushed it open.
"Nice and safe there, Theodore..." she muttered to herself.
As she went inside, she looked around cautiously for her brother, unsure of what he'd think of her bringing a Cat home. Not that there was much he could do about it anyway.
She sat the carrier down on the sofa, and, after another quick look around to make sure all the toys and other supplies that she had bought in advance were in plain sight and ready to go, opened the carrier.
"Hey, little Loki..." she said in a small, friendly voice, "You wanna come out and have a look around your new home?"
The Cat just blinked at Sarah with his huge green eyes, oblivious to the fact that he was becoming a beloved pet again.
Sarah just rose to her feet, leaving the door to the carrier open, and snuck out into the hall, just out of Loki's sight. She peered back into the living room, and watched as the confused Cat eventually stuck his head out of his confines, slipped out, and started looking around the room.
Sarah then felt herself smiling. This could only be good."
