| - Maria Agnes Montefuego was one of a set of identical twins borne by her biological mother who was on a trip to Italy at that time. Due to complications at birth, both infants didn't cry nor drew breath, and they were rushed to intensive care. Agnes’ foster father, who was the attending nurse of her mother at that time, mistakenly pronounced Agnes as dead, compelling her mother to take the other one only and leave Agnes; when her foster father discovered Agnes is still alive it was too late for the mother had already left, so he just adopted her. He didn’t divulge about this because he decided to nurture Agnes as his own child. Agnes, as she is nicknamed, is well loved by her foster family even though she is adopted. She doesn’t complain even if her family can barely meet their daily needs. She’s a cheerful, outgoing and a bit boyish lass; she is one of the amiable people in her vicinity due to her friendly and sociable ways, joining the local church choir and school archery club. Nevertheless, much of that has changed - she is now introverted and reticent. This is due to a traumatic event that left her family devastated while they where still living in Rome. It all started 2 weeks ago. Agnes was on her way home from choir practice and upon arriving home she saw her family being held hostage by the henchmen of the loan shark whom her dad borrowed money from, but hadn't paid his debts to. One of the men said that he will kill her family if the debts aren't paid; her father repeatedly pleaded that he give them more time since they're not that opulent to quickly pay their debts, but the pleas were to no avail. Upon seeing that the man was about to shoot her terrified sister, Agnes burst into a sudden fit of rage, with vermillion flames engulfing her and the whole house, much to the shock of Agnes, her family, and the henchmen. The flames roared towards the men and in turn burning them to ashes, whilst Agnes and her family remained miraculously unscathed, as the flames were under Agnes' command. Nevertheless, the house was already set afire due to the flames, and so they had to get out avoiding the burning debris. Unfortunately, before all of them were able to get out safely, her aunt was hit, and died after. This left Agnes in tears, saying that it's all her fault. The onlookers who saw the event labeled her the Devil's Daughter due to their notion that she is a pyromaniac, oblivious that her powers caused it. this only worsened the family's dilemma. Hoping to escape the persecution, forget what happened, and start anew, they moved to Los Angeles, where her foster relative lives, and buried her foster aunt's cremated remains there. Even though they have moved away, Agnes still feels the guilt of what she has done, thus turning her once outgoing personality into a lonely introverted one. Whenever she tries out her new found ability, only sapphire blue flames appear. Still her family stays as encouraging as ever, saying that it was meant to happen and that there is another path prepared for her. Taking these to heart, coupled with inspiration in faith, she is now gradually coping up with her life, ready to reach out once again to others. She is currently living in New York, diligently working as an archery instructor at a sports club in order to afford apartment room rent and to study in Julliard School, determined to pursue her dreams and to focus her time in singing instead of sobbing. She vents all her feeling in her songs, and has recently formed a pop rock band named "Fear 'em More". As of now, hints of yellow orange can be seen in her yet blue flames, indicating her gradual but sure rise from the abyss of emotional demise.
