## Personality

Reign is cool, calm and aloof. She appears to keep herself seperate from the world around when in reality, she's both picking it apart and weaving it back together and is constantly on the look out for information that she could create a piece on. A true believer in free speech, she believes the world, especially the government, should be transparent in order for the public to trust and be aware of what is happening. She often becomes frustrated with those who dismiss or ignore the government due to this, in belief that everyone should have at least some interest in politics as it is what controls their lives. This stems from her experience in Havana, Cuba, where the freedom of speech and political expression was severely oppressed.

However, she also has a great interest in seeing how people tick and work, which is why she also specialised in individual interviews. She's been known to hound people for an interview before selling it to high end magazines. She does highly compensate the other person, though, and doesn't truly believe in ripping other people off and using their own secrets against them as she doesn't really believe it would gain her anything except a few more cheques. She can, however, turn a blind eye if she believes it necessary. She is notorious for twisting a conversation and often tries to get people to open up to her, hoping that they would eventually give her a piece of information that she could use for her work. However, this is more of a past time, Reign's true love is political writing and prefers this side of journalism than the pop culture or the gossip side of it.

She's also quite adaptable with her writing, able to enter any genre of writing, including creative writing and visual communication, often helping businesses come up with slogans and what to write for their description in order to sell themselves for their customers, but she finds this often dull and tedious. She does, however, enter her creative work to magazines, both more local and more internationally known, though this is done sparingly.

She's also ready for a good time, through watching a movie, going to a concert or going to parties, Reign doesn't like to feel bored and wants to take full advantage of her current life and world. She does struggle, though, to turn her mind off from picking at the world around and her and too relax. Active, she adores working out, using it to relieve stress and is often found at the gym after six pm. However, she has traveled a lot through her life and is now currently hoping to settle down in one place and see how it feels like. She also doesn't really believe that she needs friends or any romantic relations, but if she ever reaches that point, she can be incredibly protective, even to the point of being overprotective and can often fall into a sort of motherly state, taking it upon herself to worry about all their mental and physical states.

## History

Jason River and Claudia Martinez were mages, educated as teachers who taught at IIYM. They adored to travel and often went through both Mirrorworld and Earth. However, Jason grew up in a family that ran deep with the mafia and as Jason grew older, he became slightly involved but did attempt to break free of that world when he met Claudia. Through Claudia, he went to university and eventually gained a proper, safe life. Claudia, on the other hand, was the daughter of a CEO and was the heir, giving them a large bank account, especially when her parents passed away.

They met each other through high school and were childhood sweethearts. However, when Claudia was twenty three and had fallen pregnant with Reign, Jason's old rival, his brother, caught wind of his location. The last time the two had met, Jason was forced to kill his brother's wife in order to get out alive, causing the brother to feel rather vengeful.

Realising they were being followed, Jason and Claudia eventually moved to Earth in an attempt to stay safe from his brother. They moved to the U.S.A before going to Europe before returning back to the states. Reign barely remembers this part of her life but she knows that she was happy and loved. However, when she was six years old, her uncle found their home. Reign has few memories of this period, she remembers being tied to a chair, watching her parents be tortured by her uncle, she remembers crying, she remembers pleading and shouting but her uncle ignored her. Eventually, though, he stopped his focus on the parents and onto her, knowing hurting her would cause the most pain to her parents, which was true. She was in and out of conscious during that period and still has nightmares of her own parents pleading, often pleading to spare their daughters life. She does remember in vivid memory the night where her mother broke free when her uncle was asleep, just after his brother, Jason, had passed away.

They were just at the mirror when the uncle found them and the mother only had time to push Reign through before she was dragged back by her uncle. Though Reign was intentionally going back to Mirrorworld, she was sent accidentally straight into the ocean. She would have drowned if it wasn't for a military boat finding her. She had landed just inside the Cuban border and was picked up by one of its boats. Being brought back to the island, she was nearly incarcerated into a prison but instead the government gave her mercy and instead allowed her to be adopted.

She grew up living under the heavy eye of Fidel Castro. With her new family, she struggled to eat, as they were living on rations where they were given a bread roll a day, a portion of chicken a week, which was taken away once Reign turned thirteen, among other things. They were constantly stopped in the street by members of the revolutionary Defence Committee. Reign grew up aware that she couldn't speak freely out in the public and that it was, quite literally, socialism or death. However, she had friends and often spent her time playing with other children and stray cats in the streets until it was near curfew. At night, she listened and watched through the shutters of her window, the hookers and the life of the poor. Hooker's were common, most girls knowing that they would earn more in a single night than most other jobs. However, as Reign grew older and more aware, she began to realise any bitterness around her was not political, just at the shortages which is where Reign's own political emotions began to grow. She was frustrated at her government which showed no sign of being corrupt, but she had suspicions.

When she was thirteen, she began to write and print political posters, advocating for the breakdown of communist government and spreading it throughout the streets whenever she could. She knew the consequences of what would happen to not only her, but the people she was living with. Being knocked out, she wakes up in an unknown house. The man, as it turns out, is a spy for a rebel group in Miami, regularly working with them. After a few hours of conversation, Reign asks to be taken to America, to claim refugee status but is denied. For the next few weeks, she pesters him and eventually he gives in. Not having any true bond with her new "family" Reign leaves in the middle of the night, travelling the short distance to Florida by boat. However, during the initiation, she is found by a Mirrorworld official, who sees Reign's amulet. Her amulet, not realising what it is, was special to Reign as she believed her parents had given it to her and so Reign never wanted to take it off.

She was taken to Central City where, after a DNA test, they found her to be the heir to the Martinez Industry. For the next two years, she studied in IIYM, gaining a love for writing and journalism. By fifteen, she was entering her work into competitions and magazines, both fiction and non fiction. By seventeen, she was gaining a name for herself, outside of the infamous name 'Martinez'. Eventually, she was hired by a prolific newspaper, dropping out of IIYM to travel for it, becoming a political correspondent and dabbling in interviews. However, by the time she was nineteen, she had found herself becoming repetitive and returned to central city. Instead of IIYM, she decided to enrol in SPA, believing she'd have more people to choose from when it comes to interviews
