Character Name: Ember Series: Elemental Timeline: Post-movie Canon Resource Links:Here
Personality:
Ember has a fiery temper.
And with that obvious joke out of the way, she really does struggle with anger and frustration. Her father won't let her take over the shop until she controls her anger issues, but she often gets overwhelmed, leading to a fiery explosion that causes damage to the shop and customer relations. It's her biggest frustration and she has a hard time dealing with it.
Taking over the shop means a lot to Ember. As far as she knows, it's her only dream. Ever since she was a little girl, she wanted to take over the shop. And as her father ages, it becomes even more urgent as she worries about her father's ailing health. She's always had a great relationship with her father, and she wants nothing more than to impress and make him proud.
That is... until she meets Wade, a water elemental. While their relationship starts off rocky, due to Wade almost getting her father's shop shut down. Their relationship grows after Ember finds herself being able to be vulnerable around Wade, and Wade validating her feelings. Soon, she finds herself caught between her duty to her family, and her new relationship with Wade. And unfortunately for Ember, she soon finds herself not wanting to run the shop anymore. Which is devastating to Ember, as she thinks that's her father's dream and it's her duty to run it. She explains to Wade that her family sacrificed everything to build that shop, and that she could never pay back that sacrifice. She feels ashamed about what she wants, which turns out to be glassmaking, her real talent.
So Ember is torn between family duty and her real desire to be independent, and develop a romantic relationship with Wade. At first she chooses her family, unwilling to be a "bad daughter". But Wade crashes her father's retirement party, claiming that Ember needs to let her father know her true self and that they should be together, confessing his love for her. While his confession fails miserably, it does set off a chain of events that eventually leads to Ember almost losing Wade and confessing to her father that she doesn't want to run the shop anymore.
Ember has also faced prejudice all her life. Element City isn't built with fire people in its design, so she's limited in a lot of what she can do there. Other elements also can be cruel of judgmental, such as one of Wade's family members saying how well she speaks, or being kicked out of botanical center for being fire. She's mostly isolated to Fire Town, and has trouble connecting with other elements because of this. She's a bit socially awkward, and has trouble making connections with others - even other fire elements. This changes when she falls in love with Wade.
Ember is also very compassionate, though she can be a little cold to people at times. She learns to grow her compassion through Wade, and is deeply hurt and saddened when she thinks her fire evaporated Wade when they're trapped in her father's shop trying to protect her family's blue flame. She's also afraid of hurting Wade, through things like touch.
All in all, Ember just wants to be a good daughter. And that's all she thinks she needs in life, but opening herself up makes her realize that she wants a life for herself, and that she wants Wade to be part of that life.

A few sprinkles at first, and then a full on downpour. Ember won't lie, she felt fear when she heard the rumbling of thunder and the woosh of rain that came through. Back home, she'd always be safe and warm inside the shop whenever the rain came. It was important for fire people to stay inside when the rain came.
She was out on a route when it came, and she didn't know what to do. So she found a nearby cave to hide out the rain. It was... cold. An unusual feeling for her. She found her new skin covered in bumps and she couldn't stop shivering. Her Vulpix had kept her warm as best as he could, but he could only do so much.
But despite the cold, there was another sensation she felt. Incredible curiosity, as she reaches one hand outside the cave, to feel the droplets on her skin. It runs off harmlessly, much to her surprise. Was this... rain all along? It felt so nice. It wasn't the scary thing she'd always grown up believing - not that it wouldn't be scary to a fire person. But here? She was human. And everything was new.
The rain was new. A silent reminder she could be whoever she wanted to be here, not limited by her fire body. It was new, it was exciting. And her Vulpix almost has to pull her back into the cave so she doesn't get sick trying to jump into a nearby puddle right outside the cave. Something she finds herself really, REALLY wanting to do.
"It's really a whole new world out here, isn't it, Ash?" She asks her Vulpix, who gives a small whine in reply. He's not such a fan of the rain, being weak to water. But he tries to join in Ember's enthusiasm.
Ember watches the rain silently, thinking to herself, she's going to have so much fun here.
