Leilani Escalante, better known as Lani, is a 21-year-old that lives in San Diego, CA. She was raised by her grandfather, Lolo G, after her parents died in a car accident shortly after her birth.
Lolo G was part of an ancient organization called Ilaw, or "the light." Their purpose is to protect the people of their cities from an evil organization called Dilim, or "the dark."
Ilaw get their powers, or gifts, from The Water of the Light, which is a big hot spring in a remote island in the Philippines named Batanes. Powers are given to those that are descendants of other members of the Ilaw, if the water decides that they are worthy and strong enough to inherit their own gifts.
