Thoma is indeed a friend, yes. I'm a Spring power holder, so I am gifted with the ability to use the element of wind. It's quite an adjustment, as I am more accustomed to ice back home.

[ But this isn't about her! She's got a newbie to try and help out. ]

I don't believe there is a specific reason how otherworlders become affiliated with a certain element. That may not be the reason why you are a Winter power holder. Though that may actually also be why.

I hope you will be able to get used to these new abilities without much issues.
