ability/power ♦ Pyrokinesis

how the ability works ♦ Daphne can manipulate and generate fire, she has always loved her powers and uses them even when there's no need to do so. She wields her powers by using her emotions of  happiness, and sometimes sadness and anger, although thinking of happy things she can use her powers with ease. Daphne can generate fire from her fingertips, but usually uses a source of fire already present and absorbing it and making it her own fire. 

Thinking of happy moments, Daphne can use her powers best, as she has control over them, if her powers are channeled by her anger the fire are stronger and Daphne may not be able to control it, making Daphne angry is ill-advised. Summoning her powers when angry can be disastrous, because Daphne can't control strong fires like the ones set when she's angry. 

Daphne is more resistant to fire than others are, but is not immune to fire, which goes to say, that even though Daphne's powers come from fire she is not immune to the effects of fire, although fire will not affect her as it may others, she is not immune to fire.

He was quite the playboy, but he married Penelope Pennbrook a girl of his father's choice. A year after their marriage they had Daphne and Adam. Daphne was raised with everything she could ever want and need. Daphne and Adam were doted on by their parents and grandparents, they were the first grandchildren on either side. Daphne and Adam were given a younger brother Duncan when she was six years old, Daphne and Adam were close and cared for each other deeply and they were protective of their brother. William and Penelope loved their children, and cared for their children themselves, Daphne and Adam only had a nanny because Penelope needed help managing two children. Penelope and William wanted their children to have only the best, and so Daphne, Adam and Duncan had only the best in everything including clothes, toys, education etc.

One  day the Butlers were having preparing for a reunion in their home , when Daphne accidentally set her bedroom on fire, with her and Adam trapped inside, what's worse Daphne had somehow managed to get trapped in her wardrobe. The fire was already spreading when her father William and uncle Geoffrey realized that the young Daphne and Adam were trapped in Daphne's bedroom, they went into the bedroom though the fire with blankets around them, only to find Adam in the room, who told them about Daphne being in her wardrobe, Geoffrey rescued Daphne. They took both the children to the hospital and the doctors and nurses were confused as to how Daphne had survived with so little burns while her brother did have more signs of burns than she did. William and Geoffrey guessed that Daphne was starting to develop her abilities, the Butler family many of them had abilities. Not much later Adam began to show signs of his own abilities.

It was decided by William that the children should be sent to Primrose Academy. Daphne and Adam were always together in the Academy, Daphne adjusted easily to Primrose, Daphne and Adam were popular, but unlike some other populars Daphne was not bitchy. Daphne worked hard in gaining control of her fire abilities and her efforts bore fruit. Daphne had several brief relationships with guys and girls during her years at Primrose.
