home to the mentally brilliant [Essie's Characters] New Character Up!

Genevieve was born in Earlham, Indiana. Earlham is a little less than an hour away from Indianapolis. Gen's mother, Belle became pregnant with Genevieve at the ripe age of 17, she dropped out of school after learning about little Gen, and Apollo stayed for one week, explaining everything only two hours before he left. Belle hardly believed the god after he left, but moved away from California anyway. She moved to Earlham, where she had Genevieve Mariah Castle on December 12th. From the time between her birth until she was five, nothing exceptional occurred in Gen's life, she was put in kindergarten at the age of six. Growing up with a younger than average mom really paid it's toll throughout her life, Belle Castle barely paid any attention to Gen, because she was trying to keep the three jobs she had that had to support the two. To pass the time at the diner in the town when her mom worked late, Gen would play by the jukebox, and all the older women would coo Genevieve when she sang to a tune happily, like any seven-year-old might. By the time Gen was ten, she had a broad band of music that she listened to. She began to experiment on her own with music, her mother noticed and bought her guitar lessons, then using Gen as another way to make money. This went on for two years before Gen stopped playing in front of people. She won't tell people why she stopped, though most people suspect that it had something to do with severe bullying at her school. One month after Gen turned twelve, Belle was given a dream from Apollo, once again explaining about how Genevieve was a demi-god. For some strange reason, Belle believed the god this time. In the middle of the night, Belle brought Genevieve to the camp and left her there. Gen hasn't seen or spoken to her mother since.

In Genevieve's opinion, she looks average; to others she can sometimes look like the girl that would like to make you hold a match um to your eyes and stab them repeatedly, or like the rebel without a cause. Gen usually gets hand-me-downs from people, or if she does buy money, it's for things like headphones or anything that includes music. She doesn't really care about how she looks. Usually she'll just throw on whatever, but is one of those people where it still looks weird, but people dismiss it because she has this quality about her. Her hair is usually down in its natural, extremely wavy/lightly curled state. She has blue almond shaped eyes. Her eyebrows are arched and not plucked thin; they look normal, not over-plucked, and not under-plucked. She stands at an average height of 5’7” for her age. Gen’s not over weight, but she’s almost not heavy enough. She’s not anorexic or bulimic, though many people see her as that. Genevieve is usually seen wearing a tank top with some kind of a jacket or hoodie over in the fall and winter paired with jeans. In the summer, she can be seen wearing shorts and a muscle shirt. She has a nose piercing, but no more. In addition, she has a small tattoo on her right forearm of some music notes and a star mixed. Gen doesn’t wear heels, and rarely dresses up unless it’s necessary. Gen never leaves to go anywhere without her iPod and some headphones, so she constantly had dj styled headphones around her neck and her iPod in her pocket.

Genevieve can be either a distant brat or a bubbling ball of energy depending on if she likes you or not. If she likes you, she’ll let her wall come down and show you her hyper, energetic, bubbly, sweet personality. If she doesn’t care for you, she’ll push you away and keeps distant, and can appear to be a brat, even though she’s not trying to be. Genevieve has a tendency to be hyper in the morning and remain that way for a long time. Sometimes you can even catch her bouncing lightly in her seat. Most people don’t get to see her bubblier, happier side, as she has a bigger likeliness of pushing people away than letting them in, thanks to her mother. She won’t ever play any of her music for you unless she really trusts you, because of the bullies she had in school. She holds a façade where she has people believe that she doesn’t care what they think about her, but on the inside, one small hurtful comment can make her break down. She’s fragile in that sense, but she has a rough shell that you need to be able to break to see it. She wouldn’t have many friends, because she doesn’t give out her trust out to anybody. Gen is the type of girl that won’t stop doing something until she gets it right, which is why she doesn’t stop playing music for a long time, unless someone were to walk in on her playing guitar or piano.

Genevieve has no pets; her weapons of choice are throwing knives, which transform from a guitar picks from a necklace; and her play-by is Anna Kendrick.
