How Often Should You Clean Your Gutters?
Falling leaves can quickly stack up in your gutters and cause build-ups and overflow when they begin to fall. You can prevent water damage, rot, and decay in your house and stay ahead of the seasons by having your gutters cleaned on a regular basis. Numerous variables, including the sort and state of your gutters and the types of trees surrounding your roof, might affect how frequently and when you need to clean it.
Reasons To Clean Your Gutters
While cleaning your gutters may not be everyone's favorite task, it is crucial to keep the outside of your house from deteriorating and being damaged. Water, dirt, mold, mildew, and algae can seep into your roof, external walls, and even the foundation of your house through loose, broken, or blocked gutters. Furthermore, bug infestations and animal nesting might result from dirty gutters.
Gutter blockages are not just an eyesore. Additionally, they may force you to pay thousands of dollars for repairs, which may include replacing your gutter system entirely.
How often should you clean your gutters?
The following aspects need to be considered when determining how often you should clean your gutters.
The condition of your gutters
Whether your gutter protection system—such as gutter screens or guards—is effective
Plants and trees close to your roof
Cycles of seasonal weather
Generally speaking, you ought to schedule gutter cleaning at least once or twice a year. However, you will need to do this task more frequently if there are numerous tall trees close to your roof.
For instance, you should clean your gutters and downspouts at least twice a year if you have oak trees hanging over your roof. Furthermore, because pine trees are veritable needle-shedding machines, you should boost the frequency of cleaning to once a quarter if you have any.
On the other hand, you may usually get away with cleaning your gutters once every year or two if you have a gutter protection system, particularly micromesh gutter guards or screens. To maintain the effectiveness of your gutter guard system, monthly maintenance is much needed. Fortunately, since most systems only need surface cleaning, gutter guards are significantly simpler and require little to no professional maintenance. Additionally, you want to peer through the gutter guards to see any early-stage debris build-ups.
What is the right time to clean your gutters?
Your best option is to clean your home twice a year, preferably in the spring and early fall. Gutter maintenance can be particularly difficult in the fall and winter since beautiful autumn leaves have a terrible way of piling up. When combined with the winter's snow and ice, you may find yourself in a messy situation.
If you tackle this task in the fall, your gutters will be prepared for everything that the winter and fall have to offer. Your system will be ready for spring showers and summer storms if you remove the accumulation from months of falling leaves, snow, and ice when spring finally arrives.
Signs That Indicate It’s Time For Gutter Cleaning
If you know what to look for, choosing when and how often to clean your gutters isn't hard. Here are a few obvious indicators that your gutters need to be cleaned out:
The gutters overflow at your home.
You see leaks in your driveway, siding, yard, or roof.
Your gutters are damaged, or parts of them have come loose from the outside walls or roof.
When it rains or snows, water does not flow from the drains easily.
You see the accumulation of debris in the gutters.

Storm With ‘No Boundaries’ Took Aim at Rich and Poor Alike
By Julie Turkewitz and Audra D.S. Burch, NY Times, Aug. 31, 2017
HOUSTON--Antonio Armenta paid $45,000 for the little white house with the arched kitchen doorway by the train tracks in northeast Houston, where he is raising his children on construction-worker sweat in the blue-collar neighborhood of El Dorado-Oates Prairie. When the flood hit, he was $400 away from owning it outright.
Viet Nguyen, a doctor specializing in family medicine, is raising his three children in a two-story brick traditional in the Southdale neighborhood of Bellaire, with its stately houses on tree-lined streets full of comfortable professionals and where the average house in 2015 was valued at $700,000.
Now they are united in soggy duress, figuring out what they can rescue from flooded homes. It is a common experience in the waterlogged sprawl that is Houston and its suburbs.
A wide swath of New Orleans was flooded after Hurricane Katrina, with some of the worst of it occurring in the white, middle-class Lakeview neighborhood. But many of the iconic images of the storm captured a divide of class and race--the desperation of the poor stranded at the Superdome and the devastated, largely black, low-income neighborhoods like the Lower Ninth Ward, which were among the ones most likely to suffer catastrophic flooding and the last ones to recover.
Tropical Storm Harvey, on the other hand, wreaked havoc across Houston, battering poor and rich with similar ferocity. Piney Point Village, a city of 3,125 people in west Houston described as the richest in Texas, flooded. So did Houston’s historically black and poor Fifth Ward, two miles northeast of downtown.
The Rev. Kirbyjon Caldwell, a native of Houston who is one of the city’s most influential pastors, said the widespread nature of the destruction was unfathomable.
“I have never seen anything--and this goes back to Hurricane Carla in 1961--remotely, remotely similar,” he said. He added: “North, south, east, west, the paralysis knows no boundaries.”
Of course, as residents begin to recover, there are huge differences between the options open to the poor and to the well-to-do. Mr. Armenta, who specializes in sheetrock finishing, has no insurance and no savings to rely on for rebuilding. Dr. Nguyen has savings for an emergency, and flood insurance. The Nguyens can live on their second floor. The Armentas do not have one. But what is clear is the devastation is connecting people of disparate means in one common experience: loss.
On Tuesday, with the storm not yet over, Mr. Armenta stood in a yellow raincoat in the moat around his house, next to a nephew wielding a machete meant to fend off alligators and snakes. “It’s the work of a whole life,” Mr. Armenta said, his head hung low. “So much sacrifice, just to lose it all in a moment.”
Mr. Armenta lives in an industrial patch of the city where the median home value is $82,000. It is home to mechanic shops and dump sites and is a place where working-class immigrants like him can afford to buy. His neighbors are tree-trimmers and house painters. Sixty-five percent own their homes. Mr. Armenta, a legal immigrant from Mexico, lives with his wife, Maria, and his three children: Leonela, Luis and Isaac.
For much of the week, El Dorado’s streets and modest yards were mostly under water. The entire neighborhood reeked of gasoline. On Tuesday, the crossing signal on the nearby train route rang for hours, filling the place with an ominous clang, clang, clang. At Mr. Armenta’s house, his nephew David, 34, waded through the water and plucked a ruined work boot from the muck.
Inside, it smelled like rot. The flood had ripped up the floorboards; the leather couches were soaked in water, oil and mud. And the detritus of family life lay about: soaked diaper boxes, scattered roller skates, tiny cowboy boots and a baby doll floating face down.
Mr. Armenta showed a reporter the now-dark bedroom he shared with his wife. “It’s sad. It’s sad,” he said. “Please don’t make me cry.”
Mr. Armenta came to the United States about a dozen years ago. He makes $19 an hour. But work is sporadic, he said. He had tried to buy flood insurance, but the house was in such bad shape when he purchased it that no one would insure him.
Since then, he has fixed up the bathroom, laid the wood floors, and painted the living room walls. He is staying with Maria and their children at the nephew’s house down the street. The loss is likely in the tens of thousands of dollars.
Of course he will pay the last $400 on the house, he said. And of course they will rebuild here: “What choice do I have?”
By Thursday, the water had drained and the neighbors had become a cleanup crew, spilling the now-soggy contents of their lives into the street--carpets, cabinets, drawers, all soaked.
Inside Antonio’s reeking home, the Armentas took a sledgehammer to the walls, kicking them out a foot or two above the water line. Members of his church came by with ham, juice, bread and water. And after some back and forth with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Mr. Armenta believed his family would get a month’s assistance to stay at a hotel.
“It’s a huge, mass cleaning effort,” said David, his nephew.
Dr. Nguyen and his family lived through a similar trauma. He knew something about rain and hurricanes, about the loud, disorderly chaos of storms. He had been through Hurricanes Alicia and Ike, and the floods of last spring had made a sodden mess of his yard.
But before the sun rose on Sunday, the rain was deceptively quiet. At 5 a.m., Dr. Nguyen peeked out the first-floor den windows. Steadily, the water was inching past the oak tree--where it had stopped in previous floods--toward the front door. By midmorning, the water was inside and rising.
“You didn’t hear the wind howling, or what you might think of with a storm or hurricane,” Dr. Nguyen said. “No, you didn’t hear anything, and just like that, the house was flooded.”
Dr. Nguyen, his wife, Ngoc, a registered nurse and graduate student, and their three children, Emily, Mason and Brayden, gathered their most precious household items, including photos of the children and a wedding photo from 17 years ago. They brought everything they could tote upstairs--soon the smallest pieces of furniture would be floating--and Dr. Nguyen made a trip to the garage to retrieve five life jackets and a raft, just in case.
Dr. Nguyen said he spent Sunday in various stages of acceptance. His neighborhood now looked more to him like a bayou. It is a tight community, home to many medical professionals, where neighbors don’t just wave, but form friendships. “Old-fashioned” were the first words that Dr. Nguyen used to describe it.
Now, the home they bought in 2014 had been flooded, ruining everything on the first floor, along with a car and a sport utility vehicle. The water marks measured 31 inches.
“This has been traumatic. But I try to be practical about it, and remember what we still have,” Dr. Nguyen, 47, said above the roar of workers using industrial vacuums to suck the water out of his home.
On Wednesday, the front yards of Southdale were lined with heaping piles of furniture, linens, art--the stuff that makes a home, home. Much of the contents of Dr. Nguyen’s four-bedroom house were on the lawn under the old oak tree--leather sofas, flat-screen televisions, closet doors and a mountain of wood flooring and molding. Parts of the kitchen were now in the backyard, including stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry and a wide granite counter. The kitchen had been remodeled in 2015.
The Nguyens’ perspective is built upon their Roman Catholic faith and family histories. Both Vietnamese immigrants, they came to the United States after the Vietnam War. Ms. Nguyen and her family lived in a Philippine refugee camp six months before a relative sponsored them in Houston; Dr. Nguyen and his family--he is one of 11 siblings--were sponsored by an Ohio church.
“We have seen so much more poverty back home, bad living conditions,” said Ms. Nguyen, 40.
Dr. Nguyen nodded. “Our parents were hard-working, what some might consider poor,” he said. “So I just think, yes, this is difficult, but everything can be replaced and there are people out there who have lost so much more than us and will have a harder time recovering.”

Summer Water Damage in Your Garden
Charlotte is known for its breathtaking natural beauty and homeowners proudly display some of the most beautiful gardens in the country. Landscaping is a great investment of your time and money; you can add thousands of dollars to your home’s value when you sell it. However, we at Restoration 1 of Greater Charlotte warn that your backyard landscape and hardscape can also cause thousands of dollars of water damage to your home if not properly maintained.
Our experts are trained in water removal and damage restoration and certified by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification. Contact us for water damage cleanup in Charlotte!
Keep It Flowing…
Check drainage areas, and remove all debris from storm drains. If a storm drain is full of debris, storm waters will not be able to flow away correctly and can cause worse flooding. Observe the water flow; you might need to grade the yard to keep water from pooling at the foundation. You might even need to install French drains below the surface to correct problems.
Protect The Deck
Many homeowners have their newly installed deck sealed once and then neglect it. Even the best sealant wears off and needs to be reapplied every few years. Any standing water can sink deep into the wood and put you at risk of developing rot. Not only is rot unsightly, but it can also undermine the integrity of the deck itself, handrails, or stairs. If your deck has any “give” to it when you walk on it, there’s a good chance your deck needs structural repair.
Automatic Sprinklers
Properly designed irrigation systems can save water, time and money for home gardeners. However, they are comprised of many intricate parts. Broken sprinkler heads, poor scheduling and faulty wiring can lead to leaks and damage to the wooden structures in your yard. Don’t let the “automatic” sprinklers run unobserved. Run through an abbreviated cycle to check that all systems are performing well. If you plan to leave the home vacant for the summer, you may want to turn off the water supply and drain your supply lines.
Maintain Gutters
Good gutters are almost invisible; if installed properly they divert water from the foundation out to the street. However, they must be maintained. Clogged gutters prevent proper water drainage, which can leak into your home and cause water damage. Clear away any debris such as fallen leaves from gutters and make sure down pipes are also clear. Add extensions to downspouts to divert water at least three feet from the foundation.
Trim Trees
Here we are blessed with so many gorgeous choices: Green Ash, River Birch, Poplar, Elm, Oak and Red Maple trees. With that beauty comes many hours of raking leaves and tree trimming.Trees cause two types of water damage to your home:
Tall trees with long, huge branches can hang over your roof. A big wind storm could break a branch; it could end up puncturing your roofing membrane and decking. If it occurs during a heavy rain storm, it won’t take much time at all for your attic to flood and for water to begin dripping through your ceiling.
If you have trees that are close in, they could cause foundation problems. Over time, they can lead to cracks in your foundation walls. Whether you have a basement, pier and beam home with a crawlspace, or a slab foundation, these cracks can provide the perfect ‘highway’ for groundwater to travel through and cause flooding to the home.
Quality Water Damage Restoration Monroe
Let Restoration 1 be your trusted partner. Having a fabulous yard requires more maintenance and repairs due to water damage. If you find any unexplained or excess water in your home, call for help. When not addressed immediately, mold and mildew can form. You need to get the professionals involved right away; Restoration 1 provides certified water damage restoration Monroe in Greater Charlotte.
At Restoration 1, the team designs a plan for your home to ensure your property is 100% dry by using the equipment in the industry. As soon as you discover a leak or water damage, contact Restoration 1.

"Myro, a girl, letting fall a child’s tears,
raised this little tomb for the locust that sang in the seed-land,
And for the oak-dwelling cicada; implacable Hades holds their double song." --Anyte of Tegea
The Diviner
Like traditional water diviners, Anyte uses two forked wands to search for things. She rubs the wands together to create friction (earning her the nickname of Cricket), or taps them for bell-like chimes, much like a tuning fork. Her power truly lies in searching out emotion, and can be so specific as to find one person's grief in a sea of people. But she can also find anything with a deep emotional connection to it.
Is the closest thing Hedge Witches of this generation have come to Witches Proper. She is a witch in flux, half-caught between humanity and immortality, frozen with indecision between her deeply flawed human emotions and the promise of real power. She is stuck between a shadowy future and the burning present. This is tearing her apart, and she is letting it.
Faction: Hedge Witches
FC: Nathalie Emmanuel
Name: Anyte Vale (Human name: Amandine Porter. Unlike many witches, she is utterly transparent about her past and still fearless. From others, this might be seen as a taunt. But Anyte, like many who know their future, simply doesn't see the point of hiding her past)
Any other titles, nicknames, or epithets: The Diviner, Cricket (because of the rubbing of her wands and the bell-like humming they generate), The Mediator
Age: 26
Personality:
+honest
+open
+knowledgeable, though not very clear about how she got that knowledge and how she plans to use it. Usually her hints are fragmentary and lack any context
+light and airy, she gives off a flighty, inconsistent air in the way she moves and talks that is rather odd when mixed with her very blunt and inflexible nature. She seems deeply divided, but doesn't know how to reconcile these differences
+observant, and tends to focus on small details about a person. This can sometimes be unsettling when she jumps to conclusions based on little body language signals most people don't even realize they give off.
+moral
+poised
+kind but not coddling. She sees things on a larger scale, and knows sometimes the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few
+determined
+responsible. Duty is everything for her
+/-distant
+/-disconcertingly calm
+/-blunt
+/-not prone to strong emotions, or at least not prone to allowing herself the indulgence of expressing them
+/-wants desperately to be remembered, and often stretches herself too thin in order to make her mark
+/-never allows herself to question her path, even though she knows it's leading towards disaster. In her eyes, it's the only way. If she questions it, she is lost. If she falters, everything falls with her.
+/-guileless, but oftentimes very confusing. She's slowly descending into the rushing currents of time, and feels rushed. She has no time to explain, and her thoughts are often muddled (sometimes they don't even feel like her own. But she pushes /that/ terrifying thought far, far away. If she isn't herself anymore, then she's already lost, and she can't bear that thought)
-melancholic
-unsure, but wont give herself the time or leeway to gain any confidence. It's not a lack of power that worries her. It's a lack of fortitude, and flaws of character. She is immensely self-critical, and judges every action based on its thousand possible consequences
-stifled
-unwilling to take time and energy for herself. This is the inevitable self-destruction that accompanies knowing your fate. She can't see that it's only speeding up the inevitable, and the harder she tries to fight, the worse she's making things for herself (and everyone else)
-has a hero complex the size of Morrow. To some, this may seem vain and pretentious. To others it just seems stubborn and misguided. Most agree that her heart is in the right place though.
-macabre and morbid
-Sometimes all she wants to do is scream and smash things, to destroy something before she herself is shattered, and maybe leave behind a permanent scar. She's beginning to think that's the only way to be remembered. Everyone will forget what you fix, but scars are immortal.
-unwilling to accept the idea that some problems can't be fixed
-inflexible
-conflicted
-secretly terrified of her future and her powers
-never turns to others for help
Powers, weapons, and skills:
Has dual wands which she uses to focus energy into audible vibrations in order to locate things. She can strike or rub them together to create a bell-like humming similar to a tuning fork and they are precise enough for her to feel nuanced emotions and emotional connections. This is pretty useful in her job as a mediator.
Her major conduit is actually air, though she mostly uses sound waves. She prefers passive magic, such as finding things, because it's humbler magic and doesn't disturb the natural balance of the magical world as much as more active transformation magics for example. This does not mean she isn't capable of this kind of active magic, though. When cornered, she can switch her power from drawing on air to focus emotional energy to drawing on emotional energy to focus air. In this way she can call up storms and even draw the breath from a person's lungs if she is upset enough. This is also why she bears the name The Diviner, because of her ability to call fierce rainstorms when threatened. This is a very rare occurrence though, as she is careful to keep her emotions in check.
As she grows closer to transitioning to a Witch Proper, her connection to air dwindles and her connection to emotion grows. Part of her desperately fights this, and has broken free into unexpected storms, freak lightning, and even miniature tornadoes through the back alleys of Morrow. Anyte tries her best to pretend it isn't happening, or that this strange weather has nothing to do with her. But as she feels her humanity drift away, that last-ditch, desperate emotional part of her is fighting to survive against the inevitable pull of time.
She is gaining ever more insight into time, and gets flashes of deeply emotional moments from Morrow's rich past when she comes in contact with specific objects (this comes with a deafening bell-like sound only she can hear that virtually incapacitates her). She believes this is just a side-effect of her transition to a Witch Proper, but she hasn't quite made the connection that these visions may all be linked and have very, very important messages for her about what has come to pass and what will come to pass.
Beyond her magical affinity for searching out emotion, she has a natural (but not supernatural) knack for finding people who may need a little direction. She is firm but not coddling, and actually rather enjoys the company of wayward, lively, and uncontrolled souls. Though she doesn't feed off of that energy like Fae can, they just make her feel alive and remind her of the normal life that's slipping away from her.
She's also a natural mediator, and generally tries not to take sides. Because of this, people from various factions often come to her when issues need solving without bloodshed.
She has the temperament of a teacher, and acts as a mentor of sorts to a lot of hedge witches. She was the one to introduce the Renegade to magic, and he in turn passed on the favor to the New Initiate.
Actually has a beautiful, lilting singing voice. Some are convinced she can manipulate emotions with it, but she just thinks she sings a lot of sad songs and brings down the mood.
Weaknesses:
Very sensitive to loud sounds
When she uses the more active form of her air magic, she draws on her own emotional energy, which is incredibly draining. It is also quite unstable, as she represses most of her strong emotions. So, whenever she actually lets that energy free it can have very dramatic, unpredictable results.
Extremely fatalistic. Anyte has been "gifted" with a glimpse of her future. Though it is fragmented, she knows it isn't hopeful. It comes in flashes (Lysander's there with a red right hand writhing in coils of black flame, and then a column of purple fire reaching like grasping a hand into the clouds, a flurry of white feathers falling from an indigo sky like a snowstorm, fear choking her like black bile, and then everything, nothing, too much and too little, a deafening silence, and a name she almost forgot was hers), but whatever her future it, she's desperately trying to deny what it really means. Part of her believes she will cause something horrible, and part of her hopes she will avert catastrophe. But either way, she's living on borrowed time.
Her independence and almost boundless drive to fix the problems of Morrow is only speeding up her descent (wherever that descent is heading). She's burning herself dry, and is trying to ensure she doesn't drag anyone else down with her. Sadly though, she's too blinded by her own fear and determination to realize that she's only bringing her friends closer to disaster.
Is too focused on the nebulous and ominous future to pay attention to the details of the present, and she's missing a few very key points that might be able to change her fate.
Likes:
poetry
acoustic covers of famous songs
Morrow. She loves the city more than she can ever love another person. It's vibrant and alive, and she loves being part of something bigger than herself.
the city when it rains and the neon lights bleed onto the pavement
the smell of freshly-cleaned linen
billowing clothes
solving conflicts
coffee shops. They remind her of the small moments, that sometimes everything isn't life or death.
lively, impulsive, wild people. Though she'll never give herself that freedom, she can't help but be jealous of those who are free to indulge as they please and destroy as they'd like.
talking about small, insignificant things with people
seeing others' small successes
insects (especially crickets and cicadas). They're so impermanent, yet put every ounce of their being into their songs as if they have no other choice. She hopes she can have that bravery, to make something beautiful even in the face of death.
Lysander Crane (and is probably one of the few people who actually does, in spite of--or maybe because of--his many flaws) She actually has a lot of faith in him, even though she doesn't approve of 99% of his life choices
chai tea and snickerdoodles
street cats
art museums
wilted flowers. she keeps bouquets around her apartment for weeks on end, just watching them droop and turn brown. It's her own memento mori, and renews that sense of urgency
greasy chinese food. It's one of the few purely selfish comforts she gives herself. And she has a soft spot for ridiculous fortune cookie fortunes
beautiful acts of magic that remind her how awe-inspiring and incredible it is. She's lost that initial dumb-founded awe that comes to all new hedge witches, and sometimes she starts to hate magic. But every so often she sees something so incredibly beautiful it reminds her why she's still in Morrow.
Dislikes:
glamours and other illusions
the idea of becoming a Witch Proper. And more than that, she hates how much she fears becoming a Witch Proper. She know she shouldn't care about the world she's giving up, that it's more important what she could do with her newfound powers. She hates her selfishness more than she'll ever give in to fear, and that self-disgust is what drives her
people who tell her she works too hard
pretentiousness
petty squabbles. She simply doesn't have time to deal with everyone's selfish, childish, ultimately unimportant personal vendettas
extremely harsh sounds. She has sensitive hearing
the thought that everything about her that's /her/ is slowly draining away, and that some nebulous /something else/ is taking over.
failure
trying to explain herself
yappy little dogs
The business district, especially all the honking taxis. She much prefers the small walking streets of the bad part of town
watching others destroy themselves (even though she does it herself. She can't handle facing that hypocrisy)
Short bio: Unlike many Hedge Witches, Anyte is incredibly transparent about her past life. As Amandine Porter, she grew up in a comfortable middle-class family in the suburbs of Morrow, dreaming (as most children do) about grand adventures and magical powers. The middle of 5 children, she often felt overlooked, and wanted more than anything to be /special./ She looks back on that childhood with a mix of embarrassment and nostalgia. Everything was simpler then, back when she was one of many. But when she came to Morrow to study Medieval Literature, she finally got her wish (or at least, what she thought she wished for). She fell in love with the city almost instantly. It was alive, humming and singing with a thousand thousand untold stories. In its winding streets, she could be anyone. But bit by bit, the noise became overwhelming. She had always been sensitive to loud sounds, cringing with each car alarm and police siren. But this was different. This was the wailing shriek of fear, the relentless drumbeat of lust, the low droning howl of grief. It was ceaseless cacophony, almost drowning out her own faint voice in the chaotic symphony. But then, in a sleepless fit of desperation, she silenced the noise. A pounding rain beat through the city, and lightning split the sky. And for a few blessed moments, there was awed quiet as the whole city watched a drenching thunderstorm appear out of nowhere. Anyte turned her research from French Lais to more...controversial sources. She fashioned two forked wands from the weeping willow outside of her childhood home, and instead of hiding from the noise of the city, she began to listen.
Life in Morrow: Anyte spent a few years as a TA and research assistant in the Medieval Studies department before her supernatural duties began to overshadow her mundane life. She slowly withdrew from this life and drifted towards the darker, dirtier, and more powerful side of Morrow. She is still welcome at Morrow University, and can often be found hiding in alcoves in the library for a few blessed moments of peace and quiet. But now she spends most of her time wandering the grimy alleys of Morrow's slums and dockside, trying to keep a peace she is too stubborn to see is deteriorating and trying to avert a catastrophe that she doesn't even understand. She is a mediator of sorts to the supernatural community, and at least that part of her quest is marginally successful. She is also a mentor and guiding force for many of the Hedge Witches, trying to steer them towards resources to better understand their powers (heaven knows she had to suffer enough learning how to focus her magic, and she hopes to spare others that pain). This is also largely successful. But it's her nebulous broader quest where she truly seals her fate. In her eyes, she is a savior and a martyr, the sacrificial lamb to ward off the brewing storm. She doesn't quite realize that maybe everything she's doing to desperately avoid her fate is only hastening it, and that maybe she isn't the savior after all.
Why do they want the Stone? She is probably the one person in Morrow who doesn't want the Stone. She is about to find, though, that the Stone wants her.
Greatest wish? To do something that carries on after she is gone.
Greatest fear? Her destiny. She lives with all the abandon and grief of one who knows exactly how they'll end.
What 5 items would you put in a pentagram to summon them? A book of poetry, cicada wings, a stick of cinnamon, a wilted rose, a tuning fork
