Hecate Alptraum
19
An expert in special effects, body art, and writing, she combines these skills to create an optical illusion in front of the audience that usually revolves around a paranormal element, and uses these illusions to tell a complex horror/suspense story to the viewers.
Growing up, Hecate was known for being imaginative, intelligent, and bursting with imagination. She's an expert story teller, yet each of her stories have a dark twist that ties in with an equally dark side to her personality. She has a rather violent way of expressing emotion in different characters, and has no problem with killing them off in the most gruesome way possible. She uses dark humor and sarcasm when socializing with others, such as making a joke directed towards death or murder. When angered, she'll express it physically on nearby objects, often breaking them. Sadness is a different factor. When saddened, she'll shut down her emotions and zone out from the rest of the world for brief periods of time in a dream-like state, until finally coming back to reality as her normal personality returns.
[i][size=100][font=calibri]Hecate was named after the Greek goddess of magic and witchcraft, who took residence in the underworld along side Hades, ruler of the underworld and king of the dead. Years later most would say that the name suits her. From a young age she was a prodigy at writing. Her stories mainly include suspense, horror, tragedy, and most of all, death. Each one had a paranormal element that set the whole story in play.
She was raised by her father for the first few years of her life, as her mother was constantly brought in and out of the hospital for drug addiction and bipolar disorder. While visiting her in the hospital, Hecate would always see solemn, insane people with no chance of help being left in the hospital rooms to count the seconds until they died. Sometimes she's see someone chained down to chairs or beds, struggling and screaming. Hecate recalls when her mother was chained down. While her father talked to the doctors, five year old Hecate was left in the room while her mother bawled her eyes out and cried out for help to be released.
Her mother came home to live with them when Hecate was eight. She had to take special pills to help her bipolar disorder. Hecate didn't like it, as it made her mother emotionless and boring. During this time, she took to improving her skills in writing, and experimented in body-art (using make-up).
Still, she hated her mothers emotionless personally, so she decided to do something about it. When she was 11, she snuck into her parents room after they were sleeping and stole her mothers pills, flushing them down the toilet and replacing them with similar looking candy. Things became more fun from then. Her and her mother would spend all their time together, Hecate showing her the stories and doing her art. Together they made stories and shows which they presented to Hecates father. Her father was so petrified by the dark themes, shows, and the gory images they had drawn on one another that he left, leaving his insane wife and sociopathic daughter behind.
Hecate though her mother was the best person in the world, but many others worried for Hecate's safety. When she was 13, she was woken up in the middle of the night by the sounds of screaming and breaking glass. Someone had called the police on her mother. When Hecate realized what was going on, she hid in the attic, unwilling to be taken away from her mom. That wasn't exactly what was planned. The police wanted to take her mother back to the mental hospital where she spend the beginning of Hecate's life. Hecate's mother didn't want to, so she violently fought back. The police were forced to shoot her, and after a failed search of the house to find Hecate, they label her as missing.
After she was deemed missed, Hecate, who refused to be taken to a foster home, had to live as a homeless child, until she was discovered by Elsa. Hecate had used her artistic skills to get food, by using paint to make herself appear as a sickly, starved child. This, for some reason, didn't trick Elsa. However impressed by her skills, Hecate was invited to join the family of carnies, where her darkness was not only welcomed, but encouraged.
