The TwinsLaiken and Kieran Shaede 'Laika' &
'Kier'17 year old Straight Females
Laika is a Red Fox shifter with Void/Darkness powers (can move through shadows(and sometimes accidentally fades into them), do a likeness of teleportation by "stepping" into the Void between places, tends to accidentally make things disappear.) Kier is a Red Fox shifter with Creation/Light powers (often accidentally glows, can travel between lit spots, can encourage living things to grow, creation power is usually limited to fixing what her sister broke and limited to things that she has seen before- don't always have the best durability either) Their strengths and weaknesses are wholly dependent on each other. Laika has a bad habit of melding with shadows when she is uncomfortable, and when she gets worked up she can accidentally make things disappear with a touch. While it's convenient to have a 'void pocket' for when you don't want to carry your school books around, trying to keep track of where exactly in the infinite void you put those items is the hard part. Kier is the opposite- when surprised, she sometimes emits a bright flash of light, which makes any time she is trying to be stealthy difficult because shes a bit jumpy. She is also painfully shy in new situations so when she gets embarrassed she can start to glow as well. Laika is the best foil for Kier, and Kier is the best foil for Laika. When Laika accidentally looses her school books in a void pocket, Kier makes Laika a new one for the class until she can find her book. When Kier gets overexcited and there's suddenly a small army of garden gnomes in your room, Laika can make them disappear again. Neither of them are really in full control of their powers, so random and often hilarious mistakes happen often around the two, but it can also be dangerous and a huge problem when they need their powers to work properly. Another issue they are finding is that their powers rarely work apart- it seems that for now, Laika and Kier can only really use their powers in each others presence.
Personality wise, while Laika is more outgoing than she should be, Kier is the complete opposite and has a real grounding effect on Laika. Laika drags Kier out of her quiet shell, and Kier reins Laika in when Laika is about to do something rash. Both have artistic minds and are book lovers, although Laika likes adventure novels and painting, while Kier likes romance and prefers to sketch and work with charcoal.
To look at them, one would automatically assume their powers the opposite. They are pretty darn identical for fraternal twins, carrying the same height (5'3), same body type (slim with gentle curves), same skin tone (fair, almost too pale), and same face shape (almost heartlike, with high cheekbones). However, Laika has oddly white hair, with the left eye green, the right eye blue. Kier has pitch black hair, with the left eye blue, right eye green. Laika tends to dress more girly than Kier, liking fun summer dresses, bright colors and cute patterns. Kier prefers dark, solid colors, and while she can enjoy a dress every once in a while she prefers jeans. Most people assume that Kier is the one who wields darkness and Laika is the one who wields light based off their personalities and appearance.
The pair of them are taking Specialized Magic to learn how to better use their powers. They also chose to take Shifter Study (group choice), Archery I (Kier's pick) and Weapons I (Laika's pick).
Laika and Kier were born only seconds apart, on February 29th of a leap year. They were raised the same, dressed the same, and put in to the same activities so their level of dependence on each other and general distrust of outsiders isn't that strange. It takes a while to break in to the girls world and really get to know them, beyond what they show the world. Being accepted into the Academy was a big step out of the two's sheltered life and distant parents, so who knows how they will react?
