What do you guys think?<br/><br/>Susumi hails from Faidrun, a coastal city located at the western shores of the kingdom. The family that raised her were not her real parents. Her mother often called her a gift from the sea. As she got a bit older, her mother revealed the truth to her, tht she was a foundling. They were unable to get children of there own. Her mother often made offerings to the gods in the hope of a miracle, until one day her prayers were answered by the cries of a little baby as she was walking past the shore. The couple took the baby as their own and raised her up to be a beautiful girl.<br/><br/>According to local legends, Susumi was the daughter of a great sailor who fell in love with a goddess of the sea. Susumi's great aptitude for water magic certainly fueled these rumors. This is because Susumi's magic is closely bound to her emotions. If the girl was sad, it was always a rainy day. If the girl ever got angry, the sea would be restless, rivers sometimes flooded or a guyser would spout from the town well. <br/><br/>As she grew older, these outbursts became stronger and more dangerous. At one point, she nearly drowned two of her friends, her closest girlfriend and a boy she secretly had a crush on. Local mages were unable to help her keep her powers in check and the town was becoming fearful of Susumi's emotions. Therefore, her parents had send her to Alduin, said to be the best magical school in the entire kingdom in the hopes of helping their daughter.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>Sounds well enough, though we should keep the rumors of a sea goddess confined to the area where she grew up.  It's really not like anyone would believe her if she claimed it since a few people would claim the same thing.  However, you may want to tone down the weather control via emotions.  It would make better since that she has powerful water magic, but little to no refinement, thus she overdoes it.  If a little blast of water is needed, she blasts it with huge amounts of it.
