Name: Kate Sutherland
Story: A Long-Forgotten Savior
Name origin: I picked it because it sounds nice and fits with her siblings' names. It means pure, but that's not symbolic. I had to look it up. :p
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Virtues: She truly wants to do the right thing. She's a good fighter.
Flaws: She never admits she's wrong, and she's almost too dedicated to the Rebellion.
Romantic relationships: None.
Familial relationships: She was fiercely protective of Mercy until her death/disappearance. Her relationship with Iris was damaged after that when Iris could move on, but Kate couldn't. They argue a lot.
Other relationships: A guy named Brad keeps making advances on her, but it's not reciprocal. She doesn't trust Cove at first, but eventually gains a grudging respect for him. She avoids Delia, but doesn't hate her the way Iris does, because she doesn't know her that well.
Hair: Blond, long, usually in a ponytail.
Main motivation: To be the best fighter the Rebellion has ever seen. To take down the government and everyone associated with it.
Height: Tall.
Other physical descriptions: Her eyes are green. She dresses only in dark clothes as a permanent way to mourn Mercy. She has a serious sort of face, even when she's happy.
Powers: Superhuman strength.
Upbringing: Her parents died when she and her sisters were three years old. She vowed to take after her mother, the Rebellion's top fighter, and so she did. At age fifteen, she has even surpassed her mother's skill level. She fell into a deep depression when Mercy died and still isn't over it entirely.
Personality: Angry and bitter until you get to know her, then she's just unhappy. She can't hear the word "mercy" without freaking out because that was her youngest sister's name. She likes sports and exercise, but no one will compete with her because she's so strong.
Habits: Pacing, raising her voice.
Fears: Being beaten in battle, losing her only remaining family (Iris), dishonoring her parents' and Mercy's legacies.
Diagnosis: Borderline personality disorder

Name: Iris Sutherland
Story: A Long-Forgotten Savior
Name origin: It's a type of flower?
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Virtues: Hard worker, high empathy
Flaws: Can be a workaholic and put her training before everything else, doesn't always think before she speaks.
Romantic relationships: She's in a close/strong platonic relationship with Cove. This might develop into a romance in a sequel...
Familial relationships: She argues with Kate a lot ever since Mercy died, because she was able to move on and Kate thinks she's insensitive. Despite appearances, she's as deeply damaged as Kate is. They just have to learn to listen to each other again.
Other relationships: She avoids Delia, knows how evil she is, and hates her with a passion.
Hair: Like Kate's, but in a pixie cut instead of long and tied up.
Main motivation: To reconcile with Kate, and to help Cove adjust to freedom.
Height: Average. Shorter than Kate
Other physical description: She has green eyes, like Kate does. There's a lightning scar (like realistic lightning, not like Harry Potter) on her wrist from when she was fighting against Delia and was zapped. Only wears neon, with the exception of her uniform--that will be explained below.
Powers: Telepathy, but she only uses it with consent.
Upbringing: She hid her grief for Mercy very well. Since Mercy liked bright colors, Iris only wears neon colors, except when it's impractical, like in battle. This is in contrast to Kate's dark mourning attire.
Personality: Nice, but distracted by her work/training. Sharp-tongued at times. Not good with emotional stuff or apologizing. Which is why she hasn't made up to Kate,
Habits: rushing off without warning, blurting out things she'll regret.
Fears: That she or Kate will die in battle before they can reconcile.

Name: Carson “Cove” Hartford
Story: A Long-Forgotten Savior
Name origin: Type of body of water. This is ironic because he controls fire. Full name means “Carr’s Son”, symbolic because he tries not to be like his father, Carr.
Age: 14 or 15.
Gender: Male
Virtues: Loyal to the few he trusts; wants to be helpful; a pacifist
Flaws: paranoid; too desperate for affection/love.
Romantic relationships: Delia, or so he thinks; Iris, in a sequel
Familial relationships: His mother was passive and let him be tortured; his father beat him and starved him mercilessly almost from the time of his birth.
Other relationships: Kate hates him at first, but forms a grudging respect for him.
Hair: Dark, shoulder-length.
Main motivation: To survive, and to become a better person than his parents.
Height: Very short because of malnutrition. He could probably pass for an eleven or twelve-year-old.
Other physical descriptions: He has grey eyes that seem too big for his face. He tends to look tired due to insomnia. His hands shake constantly. He's very thin.
Powers: Pyrokinesis.
Upbringing: Traumatic. See above. When he turned fifteen, he ran away to join the Rebellion. Everything seemed to be going relatively well, until Delia betrayed them all. Kate was killed. He and Iris were captured. This triggered a return of his PTSD, made worse by his feelings of guilt for trusting Delia.
Personality: Anxious and aloof, but genuinely well-meaning. Hates being touched. Was never taught to read.
Habits: None. He used to flap his hands when stressed, but his father made sure to end that.
Fears: His father, becoming like his father, darkness, electricity, physical contact, crowds.
Diagnoses: PTSD, insomnia, anxiety, Asperger’s syndrome, failure to thrive
