Jamie Ayliffe

Jamie Ayliffe is the sixteenth Star Child, currently the second-youngest. Born when a star of water struck the earth, he has the ability to be fully conscious inside the world of dreams, which allows him to eliminate threats that the world of the awake have no ability to counter.
==Appearance==
As a Star Child, Jamie appears to be a rather small eleven-year-old boy, with slightly unkempt dark brown hair and ocean-blue eyes. He is typically seen wearing a school uniform, consisting of a dark grey shirt, navy jacket, pale grey shorts, long blue socks and black school shoes.
==Personality==
Jamie has a child-like personality, being cheerful and imaginative, emotional and innocent. Due to being one of the youngest Star Children he is inexperienced in many areas, though he is generally keen to learn more. Partially as a result of his naivety, he is often fearless in the face of danger as he rarely recognises a threat. Sienna has described this as “his greatest strength, but also his crippling weakness”.
==Abilities==
Jamie is powerless in the land of the awake, though like with all Star Children he can remain sentient while he is dreaming, giving him full access to the dream world.
Jamie's unique ability is being able to manipulate water to various extents - spinning whirlpools, forming and bursting bubbles and spraying high-pressure water jets are among his preferred attacks. He generally favours using attacks that he finds enjoyable, with little care for practicality.
==Story==
Jamie is described as having “an unusual start” for a Star Child. He was born close to a town and was therefore easily found and taken in by a young married couple who were unable to have children. Sienna Celestia gave Jamie his name, naming him after a recurring customer in the shop she worked at.
Four years later, Jamie's parents found that they were struggling to provide for him, and left him with an elderly relative. After two years, the old woman was taken into hospital and was thus unable to look after him. Upon learning of this, Sienna enlisted Ben Nolan to search for Jamie and take him into safer hands.
Ben was able to find Jamie and arranged for him to move into the orphanage he worked at. At the end of that year, the couple who took Jamie in at first decided to re-adopt him, having been selflessly given money by Sienna to help in providing for him. Jamie accepted and has been living with them ever since.
==Relationships==
===Ben Nolan===
Jamie is very close friends with Ben, due to both being Star Children within a close enough age range, though part of their history with Ben taking Jamie into care at his orphanage has also strengthened their bond. Their bond has been described as being like a younger and older brother.
The two of them tend to get along through activities, mainly playing the sports that Ben likes in the world of the awake.
===Daniel Day===
Jamie and Daniel have a quiet friendship, often liking to sit down and read or play on consoles together without a word. Their relationship was rough at first due to Jamie not respecting Daniel's quiet personality, though after getting to know him better the two were able to become fast friends.
==Trivia==
*Jamie's birthday is on the 19th of November, though it is more often celebrated on the 20th of November as this was when his adoptive parents first took him in.
*Jamie enjoys writing, and has already written a share of short stories, seven chapters at the most. He says that he wouldn't mind writing for a profession.
*Jamie consistently goes to bed earlier than any other Star Child. This results in him being alone in the dream world for almost half an hour before the other Star Children arrive. Although he admits that he doesn't like being lonely, he has no plans to change his sleep schedule.
