Essei stretched up toward the ceiling of her dorm room, fluttering her wings before giggling, she allowed herself to fall back onto her bed and watched her star machine splash constellations across the walls and ceiling. If ever she had a favorite birthday gift, it was this. It taught her all about the names of the constellations, and the very best part of it was it had a button on it that allowed her to switch between Above constellations and Below ones. She was determined to learn the names of all of them!
She tucked her hands behind her head and watched as the machine slowly turned the constellations, currently set to Below, so they tracked across her field of vision. It wouldn't be easy to follow her dreams, and she knew it. It was possible it wouldn't work. Her parents and her sister encouraged her, but they also tried to discourage her. She was only young yet, but she was determined. She loved the stars, and the stars loved her. Why else would she have emerged from her stone with stars on her very skin? Even if divination didn't turn out being for her, nothing would stop her from loving the stars.
