One warm and slightly cloudy day in late August, 15 letters were delivered to different houses across the world to a child between the ages of 14 and 16. The letters were enclosed in crisp olive envelopes and sealed with a wax stamp depicting a sword and a wand crossed behind a book. The letter inside was written in careful cursive on a sheet of parchment:

This is a ski lodge-solo write, meaning that it will function like a normal ski lodge, but instead of submitting CBers, AEs, and CAPTCHAs, you will submit characters you make up. I am planning on having 15 characters (and their companions, making it 30), but if more people wish to join, then I can extend it to 20.
*****
@Admins, Hestia Grace is an alias, and is by no means my, or anyone else I know's, real name. Any resemblance to real people, living or dead, is entirely coincidential and is not indended by me, so please please please do not abbreviate it, in the text or in the name box. Thanks!

Here it is!
Name (First and last, please): Gwendalyn (Gwen) Rosewood
Age: 14
Gender/Pronouns: Female, she/her
Appearance: Gwen has straight, dark brown hair that flows to just below her shoulders. Her face is small and pointed at the chin with freckles and her eyes are a pale shade of green. She is slightly thin with nimble legs and arms, but she has slightly longer fingers than normal and enjoys making music with them. She is also tall for her age.
Personality: Gwen is free-spirited and doesn't really care what other people think of her. She prefers to be alone with nature and isn't a big fan of being around people unless she has to. Gwen is often daydreaming or lost in thoughts of her own and has a hard time paying attention to things she is not interested in.
Magical Ability (Please, no mind-reading, future-telling or other psychic abilities please. Only controlling fire, becoming invisible, levitating, etc.): She has a connection to nature. Basically, she has a sense for understanding the trees and plants, and has a talent for caring for them and knowing hidden uses for them. Sometimes, she can even understand some of the animals that are closely bonded with nature, but it is not a guarantee she will be able to do this.
Luggage (You may bring exactly seven items. Please list them in order of most important to least important): 1: Her diary 2: Herbology book that has been passed down through the generations of her family 3: Emerald Charm necklace that seems to sometime enhance her abilities 4: Trinket box (contains small tools or keepsakes that Gwen has collected throughout her life. I hope it is okay to count this as one object) 5: Magic bottle (can purify liquids so they are drinkable) 6: Notebook (for notes one whatever needs notetaking - you can never be to prepared) 7: Non-Magical phone with charger(because Gwen's mother made her take it)
Short Backstory (Keep it to 2-3 sentences, please): Gwen was born in a secluded cottage out near the edge of the forest and has been around nature for her entire life. She has grown bonds with the nature kingdom, and she and the forces of nature have each other's backs and support. Nothing has yet become more important to Gwen than her ties with nature.
Other: Gwen is nervous about moving to the new school. She wants to fit in, but thinks that it will be impossible. She is hoping that this is her chance to become the person of her dreams, though, and wants to attend the school so she can learn about why she is different and how to control her abilities even better than before. She has no dietary needs.
If you wish to bring a companion, please fill out the below form.
Name (First and last, unless the companion is an animal): Tweet (Tweet is a bird that is a mix of multiple species. Not one group of birds truly matches her)
Age: 6 years (would be good to note nobody knows Tweet's life span)
Gender/Pronouns: She/her
Appearance: Yellow and black patterning like a canary, slight twinges of blue on the tops of the wings, slightly larger than a normal song bird, and red streaks of color across the head.
Personality: Much like Gwen, though she is more outgoing and is generally okay with meeting new people. Tweet loves to move and is extremely loyal to Gwen, trying to follow her around wherever she goes.
Relation to Student: Pet
Other: Tends to eat whatever is given to her for a meal. She has a stomach different from any other bird and doesn't have any dietary needs.
