Once upon a time, in a world ravaged by bombs, a girl was born for war.
The blood in her veins ran as black as the darkest night, and her eyes burned with green fire.

Not long after her own birth, another girl was born, this time among the stars. Cradled by freezing metal and orbiting above in the cold void of space, the moment they took their first breaths together, their fates were hopelessly tangled.

The girl from the ground was born for war, but by the time she was sixteen she was destined to bring peace.

She fought to bring her warring people to heel, and all but one clan fell into line soon enough

She fought to bring her warring people to heel, and all but one clan fell into line soon enough. The last however, was ruled by a bitter deceiver who's tongue was sharp as a blade. They let their anger fester, and vowed to bring their new leader to her knees.

As the grounder girl commanded armies and shaped their politics, the girl from the stars was struggling to keep up with her peers. She was close enough to a position of power to resent, but far enough removed from it to be on her own when hurts were handed down.
Before long, one of the other kids started a fire in one of the stations of the massive ship they lived in, and she was blamed for it. And so the the girl from the stars fell from grace. It would hardly be the first time she fell, however. Those of you who know the stories know what happens next.
She fell again, with all the others, dropping through the clouds to change the lives of those from the ground forever.

Our grounder girl took charge of the situation immediately, putting these new Sky people in their place and using their knowledge to end her people's age old enemy. What she hadn't accounted for, however, was our star girl carving out a place in her heart for her own. The grounder girl knew her duty to her people had to come first, so in order to care for her fallen star, she must make her one of her people.
