Journal and Contents 
Seth's room is relatively simple and keeping with the color scheme of blue and white. He has his own tv and bean bag chair with an array of Daniel's old gaming systems as well as more modern systems. In one corner is a white desk with a fancy looking computer set up that Daniel built for him. Seth keeps the drawers of the desk locked. In one of them sits a journal.

Profile
Name: Seth
Gender: Male
Race: Ghost
Hair: A blue so pale it's nearly white
Eyes: Pale turquoise
Skin: Like his hair, it's a blue so pale it's nearly white
Height: Average for a teenage male
Orientation: Not sure yet
Personality: Seth's core personality is actually a very playful, happy, and even childlike in some ways. He easily sees the wonder in things and has the ability to make a game or a toy out of anything. On a good day he is spontaneous and seeking adventure with any friends he can gather to him. However it's a rare sight for anyone to see this side of Seth because as of now he's working hard to cover this up with a thick layer of apathy and aloofness. His greatest desire is to seem cool, calm, and collected in hopes that this makes him cool or popular.
Personality Type: ENFP
ENFPs are initiators of change, keenly perceptive of possibilities. They energize and stimulate others through their contagious enthusiasm. They prefer the start-up phase of a project or relationship, and are tireless in the pursuit of new-found interests. ENFPs are able to anticipate the needs of others and to offer them needed help and appreciation. They bring zest, joy, liveliness, and fun to all aspects of their lives. They are at their best in fluid situations that allow them to express their creativity and use their charisma. They tend to idealize people, and can be disappointed when reality fails to fulfill their expectations. They are easily frustrated if a project requires a great deal of follow-up or attention to detail.
Champions delight in novelty. They are optimistic, enthusiastic, and vivacious, craving expressions of strong emotion. With a dramatic flair, they share their experiences with others, hoping to reveal some universal truth or win others over in support of a cause. Attuned to possibilities, Champions scan their environment, probing the emotions, needs, and motivations of others. This sensitivity sometimes conflicts with their intense drive for personal authenticity. Spontaneous and personable, they attract others to their company.
Likes: Feeling special or valued, cold weather, games, having chances to use his imagination
Dislikes: Being judged, school, summer, talking/thinking about the past
Favorite Food: Hot chocolate
Favorite Color: Lavender or blue
Post Color: darkturquoise
Style: Seth likes clothes that are comfortable and easy to move around in. He will not sacrifice style for comfort though and tries to pick stuff he thinks is from both worlds. He tends towards bold colors since his hair and skin is so pale.

Prompt Response
Two figures approached the academy, one a man who looked to be in his later twenties with dark messy hair, and the other a young girl who looked to be no older then three who was holding the mans hand. The little girl also had dark hair, though hers was drawn up into pigtails which bounced softly up and down as the girl just about skipped along. The man seemed to try to get the girl to slow down but was unsuccessful and ended up just being dragged along into the building.
Seth watched them disappear into the building wondering if they were the family he was supposed to be going to. Pulling back he'd noticed he'd left a light layer of frost where his hand had been on the window and cursed to himself quietly. He needed to calm down, but the idea of joining a new family had him all jumbled up and nervous. Running his fingers through his hair, Seth began to pace around the room a little restlessly as he tried not to get himself all worked up or think about his former family. He failed miserably at that as his thoughts began to turn back to the previous winter.
A nice young couple had adopted him, well to be more specific, his former father had picked him up as something of a present for his wife for Christmas. They'd recently found out they would not be able to have children and it had put a definite damper on their Christmas spirit. They hadn't even realized they wanted kids so bad until they knew they couldn't, Seth remembered his father saying that. Now he'd come to the conclusion they never really had wanted them at all, it was a case of the grass being greener on the other side. He had been given a sparkly plastic snowflake as an item, apparently because his new mother ADORED snow, and then hidden away until Christmas morning where he was instructed to wait under the tree for his new mother.
Seth could remember sitting there brimming with hope, looking forward to the moment he could finally meet his mother to be. He wasn't disappointed, at least at first, she was overjoyed and cooed over him, petted him, and held him close. His life began off in the direction he had hoped, he was the light of his parent's life and the spoiled him terribly, showering him with gifts and praise.
Then they had to send him off to school and things seemed to shift a bit. Seth struggled in school, partially due to the fact he was having trouble making friends, and partially due to the fact he didn't know how to react when suddenly put in a situation where he was tested and measured by so many people. All he'd had before was constant coddling and being told he was amazing. After his grades came back that started to change though. Suddenly his parents seemed less enthused by Seth's existence. They didn't seem to want to fix the problem either, it was just too much trouble. They began to mostly ignore him, sending him off on his own with a little pat on the head. This had confused him at first, upset him deeply even. His grades slipped further and he retreated further away from his classmates who began to turn on him as well. He was different, he was a meta, and hadn't their parents told them something that was on the news how metas were bad and should be kept away from?
The final straw for Seth's parents had been when he suddenly changed over night into a teen. His mother had been horrified. She gasped when she saw him before going off to find his father. Seth had followed her in his new ungainly body hoping for some kind of explanation, instead she slammed the door in his face. He'd pressed his ear to the door wanting to hear what they were saying.
"He's not even CUTE anymore now! I can't stand it. This is getting to be so much work and now he's... he's a teen. Do you know how much work it is to raise teens?" His father wasn't sure how much work it was, but Seth wasn't going to stick around to hear the rest of the discussion. He'd ran back to his room and sobbed his eyes out, crying hot and cold tears of frustration into his pillow. He wondered what he'd even done to make everyone dislike him so much. The only answer he could come up with is that he'd been himself. There was something flawed in him and he was going to have to do his best to cover it up. When they came into his room hours later to explain to him that he was going to be going back to the academy he wasn't shocked and after all his tears all he felt was numb, nothing they could say could hurt him more then he'd already been hurt by these people.
So by the time they'd packed up all his things and drove him to the school he was ready. Ready to get away from his former "loving" parents, for a new start, new people, new self, new everything. He'd already figured out what he wanted this time around. This time he was going to be popular, he was going to be cool, special, just like he'd felt the first time his mother had seen him. He was going to do it by being aloof and apathetic as anything too, in direct contrast to his playful, sparkling, and sometimes child like personality underneath. Nope, no one was going to crack him, and no one was going to get close enough to hurt him again.
So here he paced in this office, awaiting his fate. What kind of family would he be stuck with this time? Just when he thought he couldn't stand the suspense anymore the door swung open. There stood Nova, the angel Elder of the school, as well was the man and little girl he'd see through the window earlier. The silence seemed to stretch on forever to Seth as the teen and the pair stared at each other.
"Seth? This is your new father and sister. Daniel and M-" Nova finally broke the silence gently but was cut off by what seemed like an explosion from the little girl. Flinging her father's hand aside the girl charged forward to Seth.
'Mandi! Mandi! My name is Mandi!" She cried as she threw her arms around Seth's leg. She had been good and quiet long enough and now it was time to greet her new big brother. Seth's eyes widened at this sudden burst of energy.
"Er...." He glance down at her and then back up at the two adults, pleading with his eyes for some kind of lifeline for what he should be doing or saying to this little girl. Daniel smiled softly and a bit sympathetically at Seth.
"She's been excited to meet you all week. I don't think she could contain herself anymore. I've been looking forward to meeting you too Seth." Seth was feeling a little overwhelmed by both Mandi's gusto and Daniel's gentle smiles. He didn't get long to think about it though because Mandi was tugging at his pants leg and looking up at him soulfully, waiting to be acknowledged.
"Um... hey there Mandi. Nice to meet you? Guess we're siblings now..." He tried to stay aloof and kicked himself, he needed to be more collected and smooth.
"We are. We're going to play all the time and have so much fun. We're gonna be the BEST siblings." She seemed to have made her mind up on the subject already. Suddenly she was rubbing her face against his leg and attempting making purring noises. Seth tried not to look panicked at Daniel. What was he supposed to do? The little girl was cute but he had no idea how to interact with this little girl or what she was even doing. She was going to blow his chance at making a cool impression on his new dad. Daniel chuckled a bit.
"Don't worry I don't know what to do with her half the time either Seth. You'll get used to it I'm sure. I did after a while."
"Oh ok. What is she doing though?"
"I suspect she's pretending to be a cat. I'd say she's trying to be affectionate and show you how much she loves you already. As much as a handful she can be, she's the sweetest girl. You'll see." Seth gazed at Daniel as he spoke. He couldn't help but wonder if this guy would still want her even if she wasn't cute anymore. Reaching down he to pet Mandi's hair a bit he narrowed his eyes a little at Daniel. His instinct to protect the affectionate little girl who was melting his heart already against his better judgement overriding his desire to seem distant.
"And what about you?" Seth wanted to know what kind of man Daniel was.
"Oh me?" Daniel chuckled. "I'm just..." he gestured oddly in the air. "Well imagine a scatter brained off beat inventor and I think you've got a good picture. Oh also I love kids, it's not uncommon for the neighbors to drop their kids off for a few hours for me to watch so... be aware of that. Hopefully that doesn't cramp you style too much.... oh I won't be expecting you to watch them at all. But you can if you want!"
"We can play? You'll play right Seth, right? Right?" Mandi broke in, tired of hearing the boring grown up talk about what kind of people they were.
"Hmm yeah sure I think I can find some time to play with you a bit sometime." Seth looked down at her, cracking just a bit of a smile, his eyes sparkling a little with the beginnings of hope. He looked back up and Daniel and Nova. "Ok I think I'm ready." At this Mandi sprung off his leg and took his hand to pull him towards Daniel so she could take his hand with her free one. The three of them left hand in hand with the little girl in the middle. Two of them overjoyed, and the third just beginning to dream that his new life was going to be more then he could have ever hoped for.
Nova shut the door to her office and leaned against it, softly letting her head rest against the wood. She was filled with a sense of satisfaction that this time.... this time they'd gotten it right for Seth.

Journal 1 (Teen Entry)
So here I am. New family and a new house. I have my own room next to my new sister's room. Her name is Mandi and I guess she's pretty cute. She gave me a bunch of things she made for me before I got here, she must have been pretty excited. Even built me a fort in the family room out of pillows and sheets and chairs for us to hang out in tonight. I'm not really sure I feel up to it but I don't want to disappoint her either.
I'm not really sure how I feel about any of this yet. Part of me wants to just stay as detached as possible, just kind of hunker down until I'm an adult and take off when I can take care of myself. The other part... well I guess the other part really hopes that Mandi and Daniel will be a real family to me, that school will go better this time. I'll have a lot of friends and....
Sorry I had to shut the journal Mandi came into the room wanting to show me more things. I'm not really in the mood to talk about what I was talking about before so I guess I'll cut it off here. Feels kinda nice to write about things though, I guess I'll keep this journal thing up. It was a gift from Daniel... so that's nice I guess.
- Seth
