Personality: Well there are two different sides to me, you see. One was me, the original me before I got into trouble and became addicted to sex and drugs, and all that stuff and then there was me when I was into all of it. Now I have little hints of each to make my personality that I have today.

The way I was before everything happened, I was a proper lady who was calm, silent, and always acted like a lady. I would sit with my back straight and I'd have proper manners to go with that. I'd never speak out of turn because lets face it you were taught by being smacked if you weren't well mannered and proper. I had to dress in dresses, fine clothing, and I had to look my best, never was I allowed to have an off day of not being improper, I had to keep it up all the time, with that I had to start by getting up in the morning, having a scorching hot bath, then I went into my different lessons through out the day. Most of those consisted of subjects that hardly mattered, the only way I knew maths and sciences was from my own studies in my free time. I was able to educate myself over the years about how the laws of physics went, laws of matter, Kinetic Molecular Theory(KMT), chemical formulas, algebra, trigonometry, exponents, and multiple other studies. I know most of the basics for each one but I never did in depth study on them, books can only describe so much.

Meanwhile there was the dark moment in my life where I went absolutely wild. I went insane with everything I had been doing and they all felt natural to me. Sex was probably one of the best things I did while I was in my dark place, it made me feel loved for once like I had that sense of being loved while my parents kept shipping me away from them and I wanted to feel something and every time I had sex I felt like just for once someone had been caring for me and I just turned for the worst. Becoming a party animal, flirty, a rebel. It was horrific. I eventually got through it all though.

Now a days I am a mixture of both things, I couldn't completely go back to my innocence but I couldn't completely stay in the spot I was in, I had to stop it all for my daughter. Although not all of it stopped. Now a days I am proper when I want to be and I have manners but I am not such a straight edge though I let loose once in awhile, I still have that glint of an animal in me and still have that wild side of me but I try to contain it. I also have leader skills and know how to lead something and plan something out. I have been pointed out to be a great role model half the time and I catch onto things quite quickly so I can keep up with my studies although I have my moments of fun and I am not a complete stick in the mud, I guess it all boils down to if I like you or not.

History: ||Tales of the very past||
Well to be honest, my mother and my real father I don't really know much of their story, my mother never really thought it to be too important to tell me and we were never allowed to speak of such things around my step father. My mother ended up getting pregnant at sixteen by my real father and all I heard was he left after he found out, which is a rather harsh thing to hear but I dealt through it to say the very least. While my mother was sixteen and four months pregnant with me she had lost her way and she ended up going to a church and the pastor there was young and single, although still twenty-three. There is a seven year age difference between the two of them and it's rather horrible but my mother was in a rough spot and he started to take care of her and make sure she was okay and helped her find her place, soon enough she began to have strong feelings for my step father and him the same, they continued to go on with their relationship and he helped her when she gave birth to me.

My step father, you should know what he's like. He's a very religious man and he always expects the best from people and nothing less, he also expects a proper and fine lady and one who would please a man and be obedient. He can be rather cruel and he's stuck in most of his snobbish ways. Meanwhile my mother on the other hand, she's graceful, elegant, poise, and sophisticated, the perfect wife who does what's she's told but that's only because she lives in fear that if she does anything else she'll get sins placed upon her, that's my step father's fault really and he used to beat her for sins, I saw it a few times when I was younger.

Once I came into the world though, my mother had no choice in what she wanted to name me, she wanted to name me, Kelsey but my step father had denied it and told her she needed a better name and so finally together they came up with the name Gemma for me, they figured it was a beautiful name for me and hoped I'd live up to the name they chose for me.
||Saying Goodbyes, Early Childhood||
When I was around the small age of five, my step father decided to take a trip for a year or two without my mother and me, that was because I had lessons that I couldn't afford to miss and my mother had her work to keep attending, she was a good mother and she was good to me and I loved her to pieces, she was my mother but things started to get a bit weird and aI couldn't tell exactly what it was when she began to get home late at night, not feed me, not hug me good night or anything. She'd often come home acting crazy and at the time I never really knew it but she was high most of the time. She'd always laugh at me for no reason and I never knew why either, now that I understand more I know more.

One day when I was the age of six I wasn't able to sleep so I went to the kitchen were we had a maid and I got her to give me a warm drink that'd help calm me down so I could go back to sleep again. Eventually when I came into the living room to sit down for a bit I watched my mother come in and sit down beside me and she kept taking something and it had freaked me out because I remember that day very well and worst came and I watched my mother overdose, which made me scream and spill my hot drink on me which only made me scream more, an ambulance was called, my mother was taking to the hospital and I was also. I had minor burns that would heal up eventually but my mother, she was placed in jail for quite sometime after she got better and soon she was sent to rehab, it was only when she had just gotten out when my step father came back home. He saw the mess that almost tore the family apart and from there on then he decided no more business trips.

||Becoming more ladylike..or not||
Soon time had gone on and I was thirteen years old, I was sent to many different private schools in England and soon enough I was learning things that'd help become a proper lady. I started to play the harp and piano. Soon I began to do more detailed paintings that furthered me lessons from when I was a child although I was never very well at painting, there was also of course learning French. I had learned at a young age of four years old and by now I can speak fluent French. I was living in England after all. I had to practice well manners, proper sayings, how to handle things, to be gentle, and all the other things that you were taught to be. I was actually sent away quite a bit but with that I had also got into some bad trouble while I was far away from my parents at private schools.

There was a boys academy not too far and well I got in with a wrong crowd of girls and I kept sneaking out to go drink, party, and sadly do drugs. I don't know why I was doing drugs in the first place since they were the very thing that basically ruined part of my mother's life. I was also touched when I was thirteen, I didn't want to but I had no choice, I had no other way to pay for the alcohol or the drugs so I had to go to desperate measures at that point and do what I had to do to get what I needed, I became so improper that my parents had to pay them extra money to keep me and hire extra help for me although it didn't seem to work a whole lot because a lot of stuff still happened and I just went to more parties, I suppose it was a way to rebel against my parents who kept sending me away because I felt like I had no one who really did love me and when I did all the reckless things it felt good to go against their word and it also took pain away from a whole lot of it.

||The worst had yet to come||

When I was fifteen, I had still been doing all those horrible things I had up above in my history although it was mostly just sex and alcohol and the drugs had gradually left me when I got help, I didn't want to have to end up like my mother in any way shape or form. Although I stopped most of my sleeping around with just anyone and I had found one guy from the boys academy. Phillip. He was charming, sweet, good looking, blue eyes, tall, and anyone could just fall for him, although he was eighteen so he was almost finished with his schooling so he had time to fool around with me, he made me feel special, like I cared, like I meant everything to him but that wasn't his main goal, not at all, he was just trying to get into my pants and soon he did and we had many fun nights together and a lot of it made me feel special, made me feel loved, the one thing I wanted to feel most of my life but never go to feel.

A few months after our little fun time, it no longer became fun. I started to throw up and sleep tons, and no one at the academy knew what was going on and neither did I. I started to crave all these different types of food until eventually I managed to get checked out, I was pregnant. I was shocked and didn't know what to do and all I knew was to just cry and that's what I did for a few days, I didn't tell my parents and I didn't tell Phillip right away, no one knew for the longest time until I decided that I'd keep the baby that was growing inside of me, I thought it'd be okay and that Phillip would be a kind gentlemen and be there by my side with me but that wasn't true at all. He flat out left me on my own and told me it wasn't his like I had been being a whore.

||Things start to raise||

Eventually I told my parents what had happened and they instantly came to get me, my step father didn't believe in abortion and he wasn't happy with what happened but he took me out of private school and soon he decided it'd be best if we moved over to America so I wouldn't be judged so harshly by all the others. Finally after eight months, I had my daughter early. A month early and she was five pounds and one ounce. She was beautiful, she was everything to me and she really did mean the world to me, she just was the best thing that happened to me. Finally I worked towards getting clean and taking care of my baby. I ended up naming her Carla. She was my everything and nothing made me happier.

Carla was born here in America and I decided to give her a better life than what I had and I wanted to be everything and anything for my daughter and I just hoped I did everything right. I got a visit from my real father, that was an ugly day of yelling and shouting but eventually I learned part of who I was and decided to go to Olympus academy and get further information on who I am and what powers I hold. For the first year it was only summers that I went so I could be with Carla most of the time but then my mother said she'd watch her so during the summers I go home and spend everyday with Carla. Most people don't understand that Carla is my everything so I don't bring her up a whole lot but I do mention it to guys later once things get more serious and stuff, they have to know before it goes too far but it's not something you say on a first date either. I've had a few friends who've known about her and met her as well.

I've also gained back most of my manners from before and now I am gradually starting to become a bit like my old self but a more modified version that isn't a complete prude either which is a little confusing but I don't drink often, I refuse to do drugs, and sex is something I don't really know how to explain boundaries on that because sometimes there is some and sometimes there isn't it just really depends I guess.

Anything else? I can play the harp, I also used to take ballet and I know how to do that as well.

So begins...
