Wade Ripple

Personality:   Alan Ripple (older brother) Lake Ripple (younger sibling) Other relatives Harold (maternal uncle) Marco and Polo Ripple (nephews) Eddy Ripple (sister-in-law) “Wade Ripple is not afraid to show his emotions—in fact, his emotions are hard to miss. An empathetic, 20-something water guy, Wade is observant, a good listener and literally bubbling with compassion for others. He is close with his family—a lively and strangely weepy bunch who seek out opportunities to share their feelings.” ―Elemental Press Kit Wade is a go-with-the-flow guy, he is nice, social and enthusiastic. He is also very sensitive and cries for many things, something his family also has. He has a close relationship with his family, but had a hard relationship with his father, who passed away some time ago. According to Wade, he and his father couldn't agree on anything, now Wade regrets not having to enjoy his time with his father while he was alive. Wade is also such of a gentleman, as during his first date with Ember, he let her go first to the theater and to the elevator. As of his attitude towards Ember, their first meeting wasn't very friendly and very far from ideal, as Wade ended up in the Fireplace by accident after Ember lost her temper and ended up reporting several problems in the shop, resulting in a pursue from Ember to stop Wade, who didn't want to lose another job, from reporting the inconsistencies he had found. After hearing about Ember's story, he went to help her, eventually teaming up to not only save the Fireplace, but also fixing a damaged dam that could put in danger a part of Firetown and its inhabitants, including her parents. After they made a temporary fix on the dam, giving time for it to be fixed, Wade, who developed an interest in Ember, took the first step in their relationship and asked her out. As they spend more time together, Wade fell in love with Ember and she with him. He was so in love with Ember that he would constantly talk about her to his family. When he learned Ember didn't actually want to run the Fireplace, he supported her, incentivating her to follow her own dreams. Wade has shown to love Ember with all his heart and willing to do anything to make her happy, as he took her to the flooded Garden Central so she could see the Vivisteria, a flower she have always wanted to see since she was a kid, and decided to take the risk and try to touch her, despite the danger of being evaporated by her (and though she was skeptical on trying to touch hands with Wade as well), but when she gives in, the two were so happy to see they could touch after all and danced together. But Wade becomes disappointed in Ember when she still decided to run her father's shop even when he and herself knew she didn't want to do it, as she breaks up with him for not understanding due to the differences they possessed regarding their culture and upbringing. But Wade refused to give up on his love for Ember, being willing to fight for the love existing between them and for her happiness. This is shown when he came to the ceremony for Bernie's retirement and Ember's inheritance of the store and confessed to Ember his love for her, but she was so scared to let her family down that she rejected him, especially with anger towards him after he accidentally reveals that Ember damaged the pipes in the basement. That moment shattered Wade's heart in such manner that he gave the glass flower back to her and leaves, deciding to travel the world after her rejection. However, when he saw Fire Town was flooding, Wade rushed to help Ember without hesitation, showing that even after she broke his heart, he still loved her and didn't want anything happen to her. When the two got blocked off in the store's back alcove with the steam pipe blocked off, Wade started to evaporate due to the heat generated by Ember herself and the blue flame. Ember wanted to get out to save him, but he refused, knowing she would get extinguished, showing Wade was willing to sacrifice himself for Ember. So Ember finally confessed her love for Wade and apologized for not saying it earlier. He forgives her and the two hugged as Wade evaporates. Ember and her family realized Wade's moisture was on the stone ceiling of the alcove, so she played the crying game, making him drip out of the ceiling and reform, then he and Ember resume their relationship with a romantic kiss. Wade chooses to travel with Ember as she begins to work as an intern for the glassmaking company recommended by his mother. When he was a child, he got stuck in a sponge after touching it. He has a fear of sponges since then in such way that his mother can't even use one around the house anymore. Wade's body is composed of translucent blue water. He has a well built, short legs and has some waves on top of his head, resembling hair. He also has dark cyan eyebrows, and blue eyes. For his casual outfit, he wears as a light purple and blue short-sleeved shirt which tiny water droplets as a pattern. When he goes to work, he wears a white striped yellow wave shirt with a mauve necktie.
