| - Ariel's childhood was a troubled one. For starters, her family was very poor, and she was often the brunt of many jokes at school. She never had the designer clothes or the best shoes, and was therefore usually on the bottom end of the social ladder with her peers.Her life at home wasn't that great either. After many years at the hand of an extremely abusive and alcoholic father, Ariel developed Dissociative Identity Disorder, a kind of split personality. One half of her was a shy, timid girl who always did what she was told, and the other half was a rebellious and extremely violent alter ego, who assumed the name Amber. All along, she was slowly developing her mental skills, although she never told anyone. She found she was able to move small object just by thinking about them, and also she was able to peer inside other people's minds and feel what they were thinking. She used this to get out of many situations, especially with her father, but her fear of him always won out. Her mother eventually caught her mentally moving things, and decided it was a gift from God. She begged Ariel to never use her ability is public, and never told a soul about it for fear of her being outcast.At the age of twelve, her parents were approached by an agency who offered to pay them to try an experimental new procedure for curing Ariel's illness. Her father agreed without hesitation as it meant more money for him. As the end result of the lengthy and painful process, her mind physically manifested her alter ego, leaving two identical twelve year olds instead of one. Ariel was unconcious when it happened, and therefore neither her nor her parents know about it.When the "doctors" called to tell her parents that the procedure was successfully completed, her mother rushed to pick up Ariel and the money. Finally seeing a way to get Ariel out from under her husband's control, her mother used the money to buy a small house and start a new life for her daughter.All went well for several years until Ariel's father finally found them. Going on the run again, her mother immediately contacted The Academy and enrolled Ariel, where she could not only develop her powers, but also remain safe.
