So does your birthday still count if you technically skipped four months?
[This is an important question being posed over your journals, Luceti. Because if it does count, Zatanna's fifteen today. Not that she's been advertising it a lot. Holidays have been kind of hard on her since Halloween, and today really isn't an exception. It's the first birthday she's spent without her father, and in the superhero business? That's saying something.
She tries not to let it get her down, though--or at least, not to show that it is. Maybe if someone catches her when she's alone, they'll see hints of it. Staring off into space with a frown at some reminder. There's bound to be plenty, since she's raiding the library for books on magic and the item shop for more stage friendly props. The training she does daily at the battle dome (with her birthday being no exception) isn't the only thing she should keep up with.
So at some point during the afternoon, she'll try to find bored people in the plaza, cards in hand. It'll be better than just the "think of your card and I'll name it" bit, promise. Sometimes she sticks to sleight of hand, while others she may employ a backwards chant. Maybe it's not all that impressive in a place where anyone can learn magic, but she doesn't want those skills to deteriorate. It's the one connection she's got to her father, the person who taught her what she knows.
Eventually, she'll head back to Community House 5 when she starts thinking about dinner.]

[She gets a towel ready, draping it over Zatanna's shoulders to keep her sholders dry before beginning to run some warm water from the sink.]

[Or at least they shouldn’t be. That’s scary levels of power right there.]

Some people are born with more natural potential...but without hard work, not much is going to happen. My older brother is way stronger than me because he really worked at it and wanted to compete in the world tournaments in our world when he was younger.
