aoife_coombsAoife Cassandra Coombs, twenty-four years old.
PERSONALITY: Aoife is a twin. Even now, at twenty, after fighting hard to build a life - an identity - of her own, she knows all too well that she's nothing without her smarter, funnier, not-so-frightened, twin sister. And don't even get her started about Moira. Her older sister is an amazing, yet terrifying inspiration/image of what Aoife will never be.
Because she's afraid of the world. Afraid of her powers (weather control), afraid of what people will think of her when they hear her family name, afraid of the hate of the Thorntons, afraid of other people's expectations. After giving up on two universities after three months, running away from jobs she only got because of the family name and even failing in running away, she's now little more than a weary animal.
There are two things in her life that make her get up in the morning: making sure that the Thorntons won't ever hurt her and this town again, and the hope that one day she'll become the family favorite. Everyone's favorite.
The worst is that she knows there was a better time. Sure, she was the silent twin, the dreamer, but there were friendships and hobbies and a pride of ownself. It's when puberty hit, their mother turning into a monster about how a Coombs Woman should be, their father's death, and all the insecurity of growing up got amplified. It was easier to retreat back into herself, than to fight and/or leave like Moira.
Aoife can be viewed as cold, clumsy, arrogant and shy at the same time. She's lost and easy to influence.
OPINION OF THE RIVALRY: The Thorntons are a danger for everyone who just wants to live their life and happens to be a bit more than human. They are stubborn fools who will one day destroy the entire town and have to be cut off in every way.
LIFESTYLE: Aoife volunteers at the library, because not many people go there. She's a huge fan of every kind of tea and will award herself with a visit to the shops/café if she had a good week.
She still lives in her room in the family house, the one with the largest window. There's not many furniture besides a bed, a table and a closet, but the center piece is definitely the big aquarium. There's only water in there, and it's the only thing Aoife uses her magic on. When the anger or sadness grow too big, she opens the window and lets the wind in to play with it, over the water.
Right now Aoife is floating around, but she's sure that she'll recognize the right path soon. Every other month she starts a new online education course, a gym class or craft. As long as she doesn't have to go outside, it's okay. Especially because this town is full of cats and dogs, and she's allergic. Yes, that's definitely her excuse.
