01. how many languages does your character speak ?
English and Italian. Italian she learned as a hobby thing on her own and she had dreams of visiting Italy one day and seeing the Vatican and all that. She never did manage it but she now has the useful tool of speaking another language.
02. how does your character express anger ?
Ember's a very suffer in silence type but lets you know she's not happy. She gives looks, stone faced typically, and just generally looks pretty peeved off. In her own space she lashes out via throwing things or smashing things. She screams and yanks her hair. She has a hard time controlling her anger but she had a mom that never taught her those things and suffered with it too.
03. what is your character's home like ? ( do they like it ? where would they live if they could ? )
Ember has a tiny little studio apartment that she adores. There's a ton of plants and greenery in every corner and crevis. A lot of browns, deep oranges, mustard yellows. She loves antiques and vintage items. She has a beat up old corduroy orange couch she thinks is the best even when the springs stab you in the back. She typically sleeps on that. Her kitchen counter is a clutter of camera lenses, camera's, tape recorders, various headphones and a mess of whatever is tossed there at the end of each day. The entry hallway though small has shoes tossed about, one single golden Victorian style mirror on the wall to do a double check on her way out. She loves her mini sanctuary.
04. how does your character handle conflict ?
After endless battles growing up with her mother Ember is not a fan of conflict. She's no runner. She will straight up approach you and present the problem and say that something has to be hashed out. She hates being at odds with people and she doesn't like any lingering tension or awkwardness. She's big on talking and hugging it out and moving on. No grudges held.
05. how does your character display affection ?
It truly depends on the person because Ember wasn't nurtured in that way growing up as a child. She took care of herself. Any love and affection she got was from a passing teacher or a kind stranger. For her now she finds she's a big giver and a talker. She offers a listening ear and tends to buy treats and gifts for the people she loves. She's always a hugger if you'll let her but that one is new and still feels foreign to her.

01. when did you character first notice their powers / differences ?
Ember was always aware. Her mother had no powers to speak of but she made sure to rant and rave about Ember's grandmother being 'of the devil'. She eventually figured out it meant being a oracle and the girl thought at least she had that going for her. Ember's always embraced it but her grandmother passed when she was only three so she had to learn the skills on her own. She dove into books and media even if it sometimes led her astray. She leaned on friends too that understood and eventually got her footing. She hit a stride with it in the beginning years of high school and now today feels more confident in her abilities.
02. how does your character feel about their abilities / species ?
Ember loves it. It's a part of her heritage she cherishes. She was never loved or wanted growing up and knowing her grandmother passed on that ability and skipped a generation felt like a warm hug to the girl. Ember's always seen it as the one thing that makes her special in an otherwise dark world. It was something her mother always scolded her for and hated her for and yet it was the one thing Ember clung to for safety and hope.
03. what stereotypical traits of their species does your character show ? are there any ways in which they subvert them ?
Ember tends to use the ability and visions to aid friends so that I suppose. If she sees something that she thinks is harmful she will speak up to someone she cares about. On the flip if it's an enemy then best of luck to them but she shuts her mouth about it. The girl is also very grounded with the earth and loves nature and all things harmony despite her temper and pension for all things dark and mysterious.
04. what's your muse's favorite ability / the one they use the most ? why ?
Surely her visions when she gets them. Mostly to aid friends again or to watch a bully take a fall. She feels comforted knowing that she can see some of what is to come and can prepare in advance if she can.
05. what is your character's reason for being guided to portum ?
Ember had no home to speak of. She had a hateful mom and no other family. She had abilities that gave her hope. She went for the one safe place she could think of once she had the means to flee. Portum is her home and her safe place. She has never felt more loved and cherished anywhere.
