Sid was one of those genuinely happy people amidst a group of hormonal teenagers.
As others slept in and lazed about after a long week of studying, Sid instead spent her weekends working at her family's shop. She was so passionate about sweets, from cake decorating, to baking and setting up displays; there was not one part of the job she resented. Not even the boring stuff like cleaning and stock counting.
A candy shop owner might have been a little under-ambitious to one of her magical academic talent, however it is something she had dreamed about since childhood.
The silver haired girl was setting up a cupcake tower in the window, each one a different colour and decorated in hearts, stars and sparkles. The sun was shining in the sky over moon-fall, music played in the streets and she even saw a cloud shaped like a bunny.
Today was a good day.

Niamh Dubh Von Rohr, unlike Sidra, was essentially an old person in a youthful body; her upbringing had accomplished that. While her childlike behaviours and speech may have largely disappeared, a certain portion of it had been preserved indefinitely. She made puppets out of bones, and played with them as a child might play with dolls. Occasionally, she was also overcome by a sense of cuteness.
Most notably, however, Niamh Von Rohr loved sweets. Aware that they were a childish obsession, Niamh monitored her intake very carefully.
This shop in Moonfall was making it difficult. Niamh watched a silver-haired girl placing adorable cupcakes, and felt her face grow warm.
No, she should not buy a cupcake. She shouldn't. Niamh's internal dialogue raged. What she did say aloud was: "If I thought that my parents had abandoned another sibling, I'd think you were her."

Sidra blinked and turned to observe the girl who was eyeing up the cupcake tower longingly.
Her comment made her giggle, Sid's attention was not drawn to the fact that the statement meant her parents had abandoned their child, that would be depressing...
Instead she saw it as a potential double act!
"Really? Then it's a shame you do not think that, I would have loved another sister! Can we just pretend instead?" She asked as she skipped towards the other girl, grabbing her hands in a over-friendly manor.
Sid had three sisters already but to her a family always had room for more members!
She leaned over and grabbed one of the cupcakes, this one was purple with silver glitter, decorated with small stars and pearl sweets. A black bow was wrapped around the casing and it dangled down a good inch off the bottom.
"Family gets cupcakes for freeeeeeee." She stated in a somewhat sing songy voice.

Niamh held no particular love in her heart for her parents; in fact, she attributed only their family's current wealth to her parents' successes. Besides, it was her twin brother they had abandoned, not her.
"I am sure your family would miss you, and to be a Von Rohr is not a good life if you want to keep your bubbly personality," she replied, brushing a few strands of hair away from her forehead, where her markings were visible, before the girl grabbed her hands. Niamh was surprised by the girl's suggestion, and not really sure what to do about her enthusiasm, either. She hadn't had nearly enough sugar to deal with this.
The cupcake, however, was amazing. And she wanted it so badly that her eyes grew wider, her skin became flushed, and her breath caught in her throat: yes, this cupcake was love embodied. It was beautiful, it was perfect, and if she had to, then so be it!-- "...I suppose there is room for an honourary Von Rohr, or we can combine our two families," Niamh conceded, a slight smile perking her up. This girl sure new how to convince Niamh.

"I am sure they would love the idea of another member too! and I very much doubt that, nothing has been able to get me down yet - Having a pretty sister like you would make me even bubblier." She chuckled, raising her free hand to cover her mouth as a small blush came across her face.
She looked at the girl and tilted her head slightly, noting down the reaction she was having to the purple treat. In truth Sidra was a little bit of a cheat. She was after all a illusionist.
One specialising in the art of Glamer.
She could control someone's senses, touch, smell, sight, hearing and taste. It was how she was able to drain energy with out people even knowing she was there/.
...and how she made her sweets smell and taste even more delicious.
"Hmm, Sidra Von Rohr. Sidra Von Snow. What do you think?" She asked as he help the cupcake up in-front of the face of the other girl - offering her to take a bite.
