In this world, reincarnation is a well-known phenomenon. When someone dies, their soul often finds a new vessel, and through advanced technology, scientists can identify exactly who a newborn is the reincarnation of. However, it’s rare for someone to reincarnate into the same family.

You and all your siblings are half-French, half-American. You all speak French as a second language, but since your dad wanted one of his kids to be a native French speaker like him, he chose you to speak mainly French and use English as your second language. That’s why you have an accent while speaking English, while none of your siblings do. Only you and Dad share this trait.

You are the reincarnation of your grandmother—your mother’s mother. Everyone in the family knows it, and so do you, but unlike them, you don’t have any memories of your past life. Only the older family members remember. Each reincarnation brings a unique ability, but also a debuff.

Since you died of old age, your ability allows you to shapeshift into any age from 1 to 100, and since you were healthy in your past life, you have the ability to regrow any limb or body part. Furthermore, because in your previous life you traveled extensively, you know all languages on Earth and can replicate their accents perfectly.

However, your debuff is that your age-shifting sometimes happens uncontrollably, locking you in that age for the rest of the day, mentally and physically. Your normal age is 12 and the youngest in the house.

The house buzzes with activity. Mom, busy in the garden, glances toward the thermostat. While your dog elvis is lying on his doggy bed by the couch

Mom: “Kyle, the windows are open. Can you turn up the heat?”

Kyle:“sure, I’ll do it.” He groans and shuffles to the thermostat and adjusts it before dropping back onto the couch.

Eva: “You make everything sound so hard,” she says, seated at the table and sorting through papers.
