history
Giselle was born a little over three weeks early, on June 9th, 1995, in between the roots of a tree. Her mother died only minutes later from the premature birth, as well as unforeseen complications.
Giselle's father acknowledged that he would have to care for his daughter alone, and while he was too good of a person to leave the child to die, he could barely stand to look at her due to the grief it caused him. All that he could associate the helpless newborn with was his mate's death. He named her Giselle, meaning hostage, because he felt that he was holding her hostage- he didn't love her, only cared for her needs. It was extremely difficult for Giselle's father to raise his daughter alone, especially when she caused him so much pain. He didn't think that he loved the child, but something within him kept him from leaving her.
For the first four years of her life, Giselle didn't utter a word. She would nod slightly or shrug, but not once did she speak. Her father assumed that she was mute. Then, one winter night when she was 4 years old, she spoke her first words:
"Daddy, why don't you like me?"
Her father's grief melted in that instant, and he realized that he did love his daughter, though it was formerly blocked by his suffering. Though dealing with his mate's death was a constant struggle, he tried desperately from that day onwards to push it aside and love his daughter for who she is.
As time passed by, his pain became more manageable. Giselle grew incredibly close to her father, and though she did prefer to be alone even at a young age, they spent a fair amount of time together. She also began to make a handful of friends, and though they provided her with some company, making friends was never her first priority. Instead she discovered a love for knitting, baking (though to this day she's not very good at it), and crime shows.
Giselle graduated high school, and saved up enough money by selling hand-knit clothing to make a deposit on a small flat next to the college that she eventually hopes to attend. She wants to major in psychology, as she's always been good at getting into people's minds. She's still very dependent on her father, and visits him often.
