Obsidian's (shadow is her nickname) parents were banished for some reason and Shadow was born on the run with them. One day, they were captured, shadow managed to escape, but her parents weren't as lucky. Now she lives in the outskirts of whatever sector she can make it into. She hids her emotions and sometimes cry's herself to sleep. Oh, and by shadow bending, i mean that she can move shadows and make places darker, simple things like that.
