There's a girl. She's American, but she moved to England for her dad's work when she was 10. Her name is Eleana Julius. She was a pretty cool girl. She had a black pixie cut and eyes the colour of emeralds. She too had a strange abilities, just like Toby Edger.

One day, at her school in Oklahoma, Eleana decided she wanted to be blonde. She was only 6 at the time. She came into lessons from her lunch break with blonde hair. This left the teachers stumped, as there was no way she could have had any hair dye, let alone be able to use it. They resolved to tell Eleana's parents about the incident. They took little notice, as they had already been exposed to Eleana's abilities.

Once, Eleana has been told she was getting a haircut. The next time her parents saw her, her hair had been cut as though by a professional.

Eleana's family had had to move to England with her dad's work. Eleana was nervous, yet excited. She was truly interested to see if the people in England really did drink tea. And what even was tea? And was it pronounced scone or scone?

When the plane landed in England, she welcomed harsh winds and hammering rain. She was going have to get used to it anyway. The family hurried out of the airport and took a "taxi" to the apartment her parents had discovered on a different flight. Eleana wondered how her parents afforded multiple trips across the world. She didn't like having to stay with her aunt while her parents went to England.

It's Eleana's first day of... what did they call it in England? High school? Eleana thought she had to be older to go to high school. She was nonetheless delighted to explore a new place. The bus ride was rocky and uncomfortable, but her excitement was not stifled. The walk was rainy, but her spirits were not dampened. She passed posh British students and listened intently to their well-spoken conversations. Eleana had thought the currency in England was pounds, not "quid".

When she arrived at her school form room, she was the first student there. Her teacher looked surprised at Eleana's eagerness.
"What's your name, sweetheart?"
"Eleana Julius, ma'am." She scanned her list of names and gave a smile.
"Lovely to meet you Eleana. I'm Miss Harrow. Where in America are you from?"
How did she know I am American? She must be psychic or something.
"Oklahoma. We moved here with my dad's work."
"Lovely. Well, take a seat Eleana, and the rest of the form will be here soon."

15 minutes later, the entire class had entered the classroom. A boy had sat next to Eleana. He wore glasses and had scraggly, dark brown hair that hung around his face like seaweed. He was an average British boy, as far as Eleana was concerned. She found out his name when he raised his hand to "show a talent". Toby Edger.
