Florian Nettles⚫Gifted
Except for a hushed whisper in the back or the headmaster shuffling papers, the room was quiet. Florian felt as if even his breathing was too loud, and shifted uncomfortably in his seat. The chair made a terrible squeak and he glanced around to see if anyone was...
Florian Nettles ⚫Gifted
Florian clutched his bag and watched a few people enter the assembly. Never first to arrive, but never last either. They both drew unwanted attention. Instead he waited until a few people had arrived, then slipped in before the door had time to close on their...

Appearance:
Background: The Nettles don't exactly live in the lap of luxury. There has always been enough money to just scrape by, but even that was stretched to its absolute furthest just to make it. Getting...
Mae kept her mouth shut and checked her gear. There was nothing insane about going out to observe the titans. After all, it was the job she'd signed up for. But her brain was yelling for her to go back to bed and take this on another day, when her stomach wasn't flopping and she could actually...
Mae went to one of the horses and rubbed his nose. She glanced over her shoulder at Katherine. "Ready for whatever this is lieutenant?" They were going some distance if they needed horses, and she wasn't excited about it in the least. She would rather stay at the base and run drills.
Mae shoved a few things in a satchel and tossed it over her shoulder. She rapped on Katherine's door as she passed, then continued to the stables. Trying hard not to drag her feet, Mae wondered what she was heading into.
"Katherine! Don't do that, I almost elbowed you in the face." Mae shook her head but smiled and bumped hips with her. "My horse is free, out roaming the range and finding her mate and all that junk. She'll be back once she realizes there are no sugar cubes in the wild." Michael moved away and...
His voice made her regret asking. "He's in there somewhere. He just needs to find a way out." Mae studied him for a moment, but then turned away. There was work to be done, and no time for a heart to heart. There were reports to collect, forms to fill out, papers to be filed. The headache was...
(A Pegasus would come in handy)
Mae sighed and slumped forward, suddenly tired and ready to sleep for a few years. "You're right. I understand, and I know I was being foolish. I apologize for my behavior, it was uncalled for. They tried to teach me to control my emotions, but I never was a...
"Well Sergeant, if the Elite team is that skittish then maybe they shouldn't be here. And I was not being a hero. I simply hadn't realized that helping someone was against the rules. But do forgive me sir, next time there's danger I'll just relax and let the world burn." Mae ignored the look on...
"Hey!" Mae protested when dragged onto the horse. "Don't fret about the horse and my men are just fine, thank you very much. Well within the wall by now, most likely running about like scared chickens. And don't you shake your head, you knew this was bound to happen! I told you, I TOLD YOU we...
Mae was watched her horse run until it disappeared, even the flare finally going out of sight. Several more flares were in the air by now, and she turned and began to jog towards the wall. Seeing the sergeant coming towards her, she ran to him. "What are you doing?! Get to the wall!" She said...
Titan! It was going back towards the flare, and towards Katherine and everyone with her. "Okay Mae, just breathe. Breathe and think, think and breathe." Mae mumbled to herself as she scrambled from the roof. Sprinting through the empty streets and back to her horse, she knew the others would be...
