Basics
Name: Freya Eloise Reeves
Nicknames: Reeves
Age: 17
Birthday: September 23
Grade: 11
Power:
Glass Manipulation: Like most other manipulation a Freya can create, alter and produce glass. This often doesn't take form in the sheets that most people thing of when glass is mentioned. Instead it can be a variety of shapes, really anything she can think of. Prior to losing her sight she did have normal vision so she can actually produce replicas of those items, this she hasn't see will often become deformed. One of her most often created items is a cane she used to get around with. Her glass is slightly stronger than the average piece, so it does take a bit more to shatter it but it will shatter given the right force.
Reflection manipulation: Freya has the ability to alter reflections. These images can be anything from the reflection of a mirror to a puddle in the ground. She can shift whatever image appears in the mirror and morph it to something horrible or beautiful. She can not produce anything in the mirror if there's no image present. So something has to be reflected, such as a person or some shape, in order for her to manipulate what can be seen in the mirror.
Member Group: Neutral
Canon or not: Not
Appearance:
Freya is somewhat tall standing at 5’6 with a very thin body. She’s practically all legs with a very thin overall appearance. She has little curves and what she does have is usually hidden by her clothing. She has long brown hair that has just the right amount of highlights to question her actual color. Is it red? Auburn? Brown? It’s more of a mix and mainly depends on the light you catch her in. Her pointed chin, rounded cheeks, and thin lips are often overlooked by the color of her eyes. They’re pale grey, nearly silver color, often changing in the lighting. That strange color is due to her blindness.
As for clothing, she has her own style. Normally a lightly colored button up shirt tucked into black shorts is the base. Under her shorts she has dark leggings, sometimes with different patterns and others that are simply all one color. Most often she wears black boots, the sides folded down. She throws a tie around her neck rather loosely, a trend she took up near the end of middle school. And has a soft, warm tan jack always shrugged around her shoulders. That, of course, is her normal outfit but she does abide to the school uniform in most aspects. The only one she doesn’t is the shoes. When she arrived she quickly ditched the dress shoes in exchange for her boots.
Personality
Overall Personality:
Freya is kind of your day to day, average person. She keeps a smile on her face most of the time and tries to brush the little things off. She’s generally good hearted and likes to make other people smile and laugh. It’s one of her favorite things. She also tends to get obserdy happy over little things because it’s the little things that make everything that much sweeter. Of course, she has her bad days where everything little thing seems to get to her. She at least acknowledges it when she’s having that kinda day, even if she gets a tad snappy when she does. On those days she just wants to curl up and listen to a good book.
Yes, listen because she hasn’t quite mastered braille and listening is just easier. She’s kind of a bookworm and can often be found with a earbuds in, giggling or tearing up because of some action going on within the book. Continuing on that thought, music or even listening to a TV show is a great way for her to relax. The TV when she’s feeling more creative and wants to form her own vision of the show, it can be rather amusing. This also ties into the fact that she hates silence. It just gets under her skin in a way that not many things do. If she’s found in an awkward silence she’ll point it out and try to fill in that empty air.
When she’s around people she tends to be bubbly. She loves talking and meeting new people. Getting a feel for their personality can be exciting or terrifying if she gets a bad vibe off of them. Not to mention that getting to imagine what they look like can be pretty fun. She’s only actually touched someone’s face to get a feel for the features once, with their permission of course. She doesn't like to invade other’s spaces, nor does she like her’s being invaded. When talking with people she’ll babble or randomly state odd facts to try to keep the conversation going, again to avoid that dreaded silence.
Silence never particularly bothered her before she went blind. Her blindness can be a bit of a touchy subject. While she does prefer people not to point it out or completely baby her she does understand that it will happen. She’s come to accept that and instead of getting upset, she’ll play it off like it doesn’t bother her. In truth, it’s extremely frustrating for her, especially when she remember what it was like to be able to see. She despises the fact she’ll never be able to experience things like others or like how she used to. She’s attempting to cope with the fact she is blind and all the trouble is causes. Some days, that coping turns out better than others.

History:
It all began in the small town of Rockport, Massachusetts, when Peyton and Lucile met in their early twenties. The couple had their highs and lows like all people but managed to work them out and tied the knot in their late twenties. A year of so after they were blessed with a lovely baby boy, who they named Alaric. They adored having a little boy and decided to have another child, Freya. While the happy family decided to stop at two, they were surprised with their third and last child, Cecily. With their last addition added, the Reeves family was fully put together and started living their lives in their little town.
Their lived progressed as one would assume. The children had their good and bad days, the days where they played wonderfully and the others where it would seem they hated each other beyond reason. their parents also had their share of bad days, work issues and money issues popped up from time to time. Yet, they never let it affect their parenting and always showed their kids the utmost amount of love. The kids then began school, watching finding they finally succeeded in something the other two didn't. Alaric was fantastic in the academic side of school, Freya took to the arts and began learning we first instrument in second grade, and Cecily rather enjoyed sports and the competition it provided.
These differences continued to grow and ease any tensions in the household. Each child had their own thing to do and they all understood their strengths for the most part. That's not saying that Alaric and Freya didn't bicker about her practicing while he was studying. Or Cecily and Alaric arguing over which was better, learning or sports. But for the most part everything was working in it's own way. Freya took up two instruments by the time she had reached six grade and that year she decided to learn another. During middle school she made new friends and had her first crush, which sadly didn't work out so well. And leaning towards the end of her middle school career it seemed that she had everything in order for high school, perhaps even a new crush as a new student arrived halfway through her either grade year.
However, something unexpected would take Freya off of her course. During fifth grade the doctors had recognized that she had optic nerve atrophy, damage to the optic nerve. Their only guess that it was hereditary, most likely passed down from her mother's line as her grandmother on that side also had it. As she had progressed through middle school she was losing her sight, slowly at first but it did begin to quicken in pace. During the summer between either and ninth grade, she had completely lost her sight. During eighth grade she had needed assistance, as expected, but she had never Freya had never assumed that it would get this far so quickly.
This began a struggle that Freya never thought she'd have to go though. At least this soon. She began to doubt herself in everything and often became scared of doing everyday tasks in fear of failing at simplistic things. Her family was of course supportive but it also put a strain there, one that Freya felt horribly guilty for causing. After a few months she decided not to let it get her down. If she could at least try to be happy then she could ease the trouble in her home. So she did, she tried to be her old normal self and she tried her hardest in coping and learning how to function in her new life. It was incredibly hard and she still continues to struggle with it. Some days it does get to her more than others but she works her hardest to shake it off.
A little more than a year after the day they officially claimed her as completely blind, she was having a rather bad day. She had gotten turned around in school and heard some rather snide comments from some of the other girls. Then to add top it off she tripped down a flight of stairs. Luckily she wasn't hurt but sitting on the landing she began to cry. All of her frustration seemed to leak out of her and she let out a small yell of frustration. In that moment the windows behind her shattered, the glass seemingly suspended in the air around her. She couldn't see this and continued to sit with her legs tucked into her chest on the landing. However, the other students did.
Some students stood there confused, others were afraid, and some took pictures. With those pictures in circulation it wasn't long for a reputation to begin to build. Alaric and Cecily were of course affected and started to grow frustrated with Freya. Fights began to become more frequent, leaving Freya in tears. Her parents were confounded in how to respond but were beginning to notice strange images appear in the windows when Freya passed. Freya still had no idea what exactly happened on that day, she only knew the aftermath it had caused. Which is why when Ashford came knocking the following year, she jumped at the chance to be sent away and give her family a normal life again.
