Ilari
Ilari
Hello! My name is Ilari, I'm 14 years old and I'm from the coldest region of Colombia: the Andean region. The meaning of my name in the Inca language is the first ray of sunlight; it represents the rising light, and in some way, I feel it also defines me. I like to take the initiative and help others do their best, and although I don't have a supernatural power, I'm always willing to give it my all no matter the challenge. Giving up is not in my vocabulary!
Fiba
Fiba
Um… hello, my name is Fiba, I'm Ilari's brother, I'm 10 years old, and unlike my sister, I don't talk much, I prefer to observe. I have a supernatural power; I like to call it the "ear of the sky." Thanks to it, I can hear what others can't perceive: I sense solar storms before they happen, and sometimes my friends say my words sound like prophecies. What they don't realize is that I'm always trying to protect them with my warnings…
Orion
Orion
Yes, before you even ask, my name is Orion—just like the constellation that has guided sailors through the ages, that's who I am. I'm 14 years old and I come from Colombia's Pacific region. My power is maritime communication: I'm able to connect with the waves. I listen to them, I respect them, and in return, they obey me as loyal companions. They help me rescue ships in danger and guide them toward safe routes. But wait, at night, the reflected starlight strengthens my power. I'm happy to know that my light not only shows the way, but also carries hope when everything seems lost.
Nerea
Nerea
Hi, I'm Nerea, I'm 9 years old, and I'm from the Caribbean coast, where the waves tell stories and the wind carries the oldest secrets. If my name sounds familiar, it's because it comes from the Nereids, the sea nymphs of Greek mythology. I like to think we have a lot in common, since, like them, I also share a special bond with the sea. I can command the sea breezes and winds—with my voice, the air obeys and is no longer suffocating. The ocean responds to my calm, and when I listen closely, I feel as if we are one.
Cassia
Cassia
The lung of the world is my home, where I have lived in peace with nature for 11 years, contemplating the wonders of my land. The plants allow me to understand the hidden language of the jungle; they reveal their energy to me and, when I touch them, I can heal their wounds and help them grow back even stronger. That reminds me of the origin of my name: a healing plant. I believe my mission in this world is simple: to protect life in all its forms.
Gaia
Gaia
Hi! I'm Gaia! I come from the Colombian Orinoco region, and I'm 13 years old; my name is the same as the goddess who personifies the Earth in Greek mythology. What can I say about myself? I'm a very strong person, I love to compete and to be the best. But without a doubt, what stands out the most about me is my incredible ability to talk to animals; I can understand what they feel and help them if necessary. I know I may sometimes seem serious or even a little boring, but I'm actually a really kind person, truly!
Deneb
Deneb
Hi, my name is Deneb, I'm 12 years old, and I know you probably don't know this, but that's also the name of a star in the Cygnus constellation; the brightest one of all, just like me. Anyway, my power allows me to manipulate electric and magnetic fields, I'm like a magnet LOL. I can also turn the TV on and off with my mind, and every now and then I mess with radio and GPS signals. What can I say? I'm amazing.
Solar Shadow
Solar Shadow
I am the Solar Shadow. Many see me as a threat because I was born from the Sun's imbalance. They say I'm dark, mysterious, and evil; I unleash solar storms and disturbances in space weather wherever I go. But what no one notices is that I'm not truly evil, I'm just wounded. I know my power can bring chaos and fear, but deep down, all I really want is to be heard and understood.
SOHO
SOHO
My name is SOHO, and in case you're wondering, those are the initials for the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory. I am in charge of tirelessly watching the Sun from space. My creators thought I would only live for two years, but more than 30 have passed, and I remain steadfast in my mission: to inform Earth about solar activity so its people can be prepared if danger arises. There's nothing to worry about, SOHO can see it all.
