Ombretta Actaeon has always found shadows odd, her parents never questioned it as they just thought she was being childish as a child normally is.
She would never walk on someone's shadow, and if she did she would apologize until one accepted it as an accident. Sometimes it would be on purpose though, for those who tormented her at school or when her parents made her angry.
Nobody said anything until she turned fifteen, it was then Ombretta found herself as peculiar as the shadows she feared.
On a particular sunny day, the sun just overhead enough to cast long, tall shadows. Ombretta played with her little brothers outside, the twins just having fun playing hopscotch as Ombretta tossed the stone for them and played along.
Nobody but her noticed something strange, with her glowing black void eyes that almost seemed fake, she could see something in the shade of her house.
"Omi?" Said her brother Kane, the elder twin, older by fourteen minutes.
"Hmm?" she responded, looking at her brother with a glance before back at the shade of the house, the thing was gone.
"Where is your shadow?"
