(Not much to say about her early life since most of her story happens during the story)
Born as the second child to Smelt and Ashton Calida and of course had an older sister, Charcoal that loved her to pieces. Ember was a very adventurous child and constantly needed someone to keep and eye on her to make sure she didn't wander off too far away.
Her life was quite average and was surrounded by a lot of love and support. If you were to ask Ember what her favorite memory was it would be on her 9th birthday when her sister dyed her hair fire orange. Charcoal had her hair dyed purple before that and Ember was asking over and over to dye her hair too and on her birthday that wish was granted! Although not directly matching with her sister, she felt a lot more mature and much cooler then her peers.
Right near the beginning of the story, her little hometown of Drahge had been attacked by the Toxic Guardians army which lead her to run away thinking her family got out too. That was not the case and her family was poisoned and dead...but she has no idea and continued to search and wait for her family or other survivors.
She would be on her own for about a day or so, before meeting main protagonist Pike and start their journey to save the world, along the way discovering her newly developed and hight unstable, Dragon Knight abilities.
Synesthesia, more specifically Chromesthesia (sounds to color)
Dragon Knight Curse- As the knights are chosen from the deities and infused with more of their own divine magic, the mortal body cannot handle it for long before there are mental and physical repercussion. To combat this, the Deities shortened the lifespan of the knights to half. Rarely they live past 30 years old, some even dying at the age their powers awakened.
(Likely develops a form of PSTD during the events of the story as well)
Synesthesia:
-She has colors for different sounds, that could either be a positive association or negative association
-This is based on how chaotic the colors end up being or how loud the noise is, so a sudden, loud and metallic noise results in flashes of white and black which isn't very nice for Ember.
-Soft music is more positive, which is represented by mesmerising blends of red, orange, purple and yellow.
Synestheisia doesn't make her life harder, but it does make her more sensitive to music and noise as it can be very unpleasant for her very quickly.
Ember is very vocal about what noises are pleasant and unpleasant to her as well
-
She wants a pet bird but is a little too aware of the responsibility that comes with it, promises herself she will get one when she is an adult
Smelt Arabella/Ashton Grey Calidia (Mother/Father): She looks up to them a lot, thinking that they are the coolest people ever and the best parents in the world! Although they don't always appreciate her wandering off and getting lost, they love her regardless.
Charcoal Odette Calidia (Older sister): Charcoal is basically Ember's hero! She thinks her sister is so brave and strong and amazing and can't ever get enough of her. Ember wants to be just like her although that has caused a few bumps here and there with Charcoal getting irritated. Despite this, their parents always taught them to talk about what their feeling and never to bottle it up so after a needed discussion of boundaries, Ember grew to understand her sister much more and how she can be her own person rather then Charcoal's shadow. She slips here and there, but is always making sure Charcoal is happy and wants to spend time with her.
Otis: Very much a sweet sibling-like relationship between the two! Otis sees Ember like the younger sister he never had and Ember looks up to him just like an older brother, the need after her town is gassed and is alone for the first time in a while so she would very much lean on him for sibling-like support. Ember isn't afraid of Otis for being half-demon half-human either, despite both species having negative views and understands his good intentions.
Pike: Sees Pike has one of the kindest and coolest people she's met regardless of Pike's very different perspective on herself. She doesn't replace Ember's mother, but she fills the void thats left when she comes to terms that she may never see them again. Ember doesn't understand Pike's past and why she is so negative towards herself when she seems like a such a good person and unknowing helps Pike realise how much she has healed and moved on from her past.
Zara: She love her energy! Zara plays with her and is able to easily keep up and match Ember's excitement about the world and wandering. Zara is more willing to treat her like she's more mature, telling her things that otherwise other adults would say she's "too young to know/understand" which Ember very much appreciates, she doesn't like being left out of the loop.
Jax: Her and Jax are a trouble making duo. Like Ember, Jax likes to wander and go off on his own so there are certainly times when they would just want to get lost and have fun but the group wants to stay on task. Jax also is an older brother so he's no stranger to having a younger sister and how the dynamic plays out. Although he finds that Ember is much more mature in some ways, either way she thinks Jax is really fascinating and wants to learn so much more about humans because of him. A simple and wholesome duo.
Persona: Absolutely is terrified of Persona. Because of the way she was raised, she wasn't taught to see that and a deity of chaos she brings balance to a orderly world. Instead she views her as an evil being that harms others for personal enjoyment and spite. Would easily be manipulated by her due to Ember's naive nature.
She worships the Elements and has high respect for them, general respect for Life, Death and Magick.
She used to think all demons were bad and evil, but after meeting Otis she doesn't think all demons are bad and sees the struggles of not being able to fee; much emotions. Despite not all demons caring about that factor, Ember is given a newer perspective to think about.
She's kinda young to care much about royalty and politics, to be honest she probably doesn't even remember the names of the King and Queen. Very neutral opinion.
As any kid would, she thinks the dragon knights are heroes to her, but as the plot progresses and she is being hunted down by nearly all of them, she becomes much more afraid of their power.
She 👏 is 👏 a 👏 child 👏 so 👏 no 👏
Over all she doesn't care too much about relationships and is more into the idea of strong platonic or familial relationships. Later on as a teenager or adult she would be interested in romance, but as of now thats not in her cards.
Messenger bag that she keeps with her at all times, it was a gift from her parents. Ember keeps really random items in it ranging from rocks, to scrap metal, food, ribbon, pens, almost anything that she finds or thinks she will use in the future.
Also think "you just got your first purse when you were a kid and don't really know what to put in it but yeah some paperclips are important to keep on hand" type of thing.
Fire guardian
She can control and create fire at will, she also resistent to higher temperatures and doesn't get burned
If she uses too much magic at once or fights for too long, she will pass out and be very exhausted for a while. Because she is a dragon knight too, her powers are quite unstable
Fire guardian magic (dragon knight)
Can control and create fire at will, they can still be killed by fire but they are pretty much immune to it
Being born a dragon knight meaning that her abilities are enhanced greatly so it is harder to control but much more powerful then an average Guardian
Sheer power, because she is a child people assume nothing of her first, good in a team.
Lack of experience, very hesitant, makes beginner mistakes and is physically not that strong. Also lack of control over her abilities.
Ember is brave but she isn't a fighter, she is aware of her lack of control and experiences and prefers to let the others do the heavy lifting while she hangs back.
When she does become more experienced, Ember would be fast and powerful and try to stay on the offensive side.
Doesn't have strong preferences for songs, usually anything upbeat and as she would describe it , colourful!
Red, Orange, Yellow and Purple
She is a bit of a picky eater and is hesitant to try new food but hey! Strawberry banana milkshakes taste pretty damn good
