I am the 7th soon of a 7th son.

When I was born, all the water close to me turned icy cold. My family is convinced that this event was a harbinger of stranger things to come for me.

Others saw me as being different or strange, and so I had few companions. My immediate family never spoke of my ancestors, and when I asked, they would change the subject. It wasn't until I started displaying strange talents that some hints to my true heritage became apparent, yet still they would avoid telling me.

As I grew older, and my latent abilities began to manifest themselves. When a monster threatened one of my friends, I became filled with anxiety. I lashed out instinctively and blasted the wretched thing with a frigid beam of blue-white light that came from within me.

My family sent me to live among scholars because they felt they could no longer care for me.  There someone saw something special within me, and taught me how to control my natural abilities. However, I struggled with formal education and barely passed my exams.
