His parents were incredible people: kind and brave and smart and all those positive traits, both teachers. Ash idolized them both. Both twins were just like their parents. They rapidly gained admission to their hometown's Arena, a sort of specialized academy where their parent's taught. It was only when he and Dahlia (his sister) went to the Arena that Ash started feeling differently. He could never sit still, or concentrate. When he was in class, he daydreamed about training to fight; when he was training, he was almost in a haze. He was as smart as his sister, if not smarter, but not suited to a sit-behind-a-desk-and-stay-indoors kind of life. So when they both applied to stay at the Arena as apprentice teachers (the family business), Ash was refused while Dahlia was taken (this was at 15 years old). This crushed them both, as they ended up being separated. Ash stayed home with his parents while his sister continued her education.
And yet, he never hated her or envied her. He only started doubting himself: why couldn't he be as good as her?
This really affected him, and he gave up. But his parents knew that he didn't want to sit still his whole life, so against their better judgement they sent in an application for him as a soldier. He was immediately taken back by the Arena.
Then his sister was the academic star, and he was the military star.
They stayed together, studying together, until the year Léonie arrived.
She was a French Earth element prodigy, and she and Ash became fast friends. The classic story, it evolved, they got married because it was true love etc (by this time they're 19, the starting age for marriage).

A year and a half after, a huge war started. One of the leaders of the Arena, Jack Atigo, tipped the balance of his Core and became an Elemental. Ash fought in it until five of his ribs and his right leg was broken. He was sent back. Their was an enormous battle and Léonie was killed. (the prologue of the book is the first meeting after the battle, called the Elemental Revolt).
Present: Ash is grieving.
