Brooke Elizabeth Milsten is the second child born to humble, hardworking folk from smack in the middle of Kansas. She and her siblings grew up on the family farm, taking care of the cows and chickens and goats and driving the dairy and eggs into the market in the middle of town. Brooke was only 8 when her older brother Charles discovered his superpower, as she called it: he could control the air. Brooke was fascinated and even as a little girl, encouraged him to use it, despite his obvious aversion and fear.
As he learned the extent of his power, Brooke began to feel lost in his shadow. Charles was the golden boy at school, around town, and in the family. He was the first to jump up and do chores, always polite, though a little too quiet. Brooke always thought he was overcompensating for something, but no one else ever guessed. She, on the other hand, was always a little wild and dreamed of moving to the city and doing big things with her life. She wasn’t content in a small town in the country.
But when she was 14, Brooke found that she was special too, just like she’d always wanted. She could bend light to her will and desperately wanted to use it, to do great things with it, to make more of herself. Brooke never felt adequate next to her big brother or the other girls in town, but her abilities gave her the confidence she’d never had.
It always frustrated her to know that she and Charles were wasting their talents staying in Hinson, Kansas, so when he was offered a chance to play baseball at Pansaw University, full scholarship, and refused to even consider going, Brooke was furious. She kept thinking up different ways to force him to get out of his comfort zone, and finally resorted to the meanest thing she could think of: making him worry. She packed a bag and rode the bus to Pansaw, forcing overprotective Charles to come after her to make sure she was okay. She knew he would follow, and didn’t plan on staying long, but when she got to Pansaw… She fell in love with the sights, the sounds, the people.
Brooke was a bit of a show-off with her power, so it didn’t take her long to find both friends and foes in the city. Soon enough, she had some people from the Rebel Army and joined up herself. Poor Charles, however, had promised their parents he wouldn’t come home without her. So stubborn young Brooke and overprotective Charles are stuck in Pansaw for now.
