Empathy is a Double Edged Sword
As far as I know, I was the youngest to participate in the sleep study. I've always been fearfully shy (that may have lent to my ability to "blend in," so to speak), but I pride myself in being a very trustworthy person who will pull through for my friends and family. It may be good to warn you... I can seem a bit... insane at times. Anyways, when I first got here, I was appalled by the native's human sacrifices, and it might be good to note that I still am. However, I have met some of the people here and have become quite compassionate towards their communities and their beliefs. Now I find myself conflicted.
Greek in origin, my name translates to "Tranquil Silver." Yes, my parent's were very absorbed in their ancestry. At the age of twelve (after being subject to a roadside rape and spending 7 months in the hospital), I began to experience intense insomnia which seemed to get worse over time. Ironically, it reached it's "peak" right after my Mother decided to bring me in for treatment. When the doctor I had been seeing essentially gave up on me and quit my treatment, my insomnia simmered down, and I eventually slept as I normally would. However, I started having night terrors less than a year later. At one point, the terrors had gotten so powerful that I had begun to seize and had to be commited to a phsyciatric facility... within this period, I slipped into a depression and tried to commit suicide twice. Here I was given the opportunity to participate in a contraversal sleep study, which was miraculously successful. I had enjoyed a year of perfect nights before being sucked into the odd and fairly intriguing Otherworld.
