An orphan since she can remember, always in the foster care system. She started working with foster care children so they have a better time than her. Died as a part of a scheme to summon a demon and to get to Kylian. She survived because of her latent powers of mimicry.

Warren | Frost | m. | 16 | gay

worldbuilding
setting: Set in a fictional city in modern day.
powers: There are some humans that were born with special powers. Some manifest early, some manifest later in life, but so far, there is no conclusive evidence of the pattern of how they appear. It seems that who gets them doesn't have a pattern, but there is one that humans haven't discovered.
other beings: Demons and angels exist in hell and heaven, but due to being able to survive on Earth, many come to live among humans. Some choose to cause trouble, some try to stop those.
heaven and hell: Although angels and demons live there, respectively, humans cannot survive there, neither can angels in hell and demons in heaven. Different angels and different demons have different reasons for residing on Earth.
heroes and villains: With the appearance of powers, people started using them in the ways that allowed them to do what they wished to, specifically villains. Since bad guys started popping up, heroes needed to step in. Although they are considered heroes by the population, they are generally not sanctioned by governments which technically makes them vigilantes, so they keep hidden identities.
