'good morning sunshine, the earth says hello.'

hello everyone :3 i am pixie and this is my first character here. her name is gemma, she's nineteen years old and she's not one of the glamourous rich girls of this town. she lives in one of the rough parts of town, working either as a waitress or as bar staff wherever she's needed. her life is very busy and she's pretty stressed all of the time. the best part of her life is her son, harvey, who is coming up for two years old. while she's had several good relationships, harvey is not from one, he's a drunken one night stand and the father has nothing to do with him. which sucks for gemma. still, harvey is adorable. :3 you've got to love him. who doesn't like sweet little toddlers?

other than harvey, gemma's mother is a very big part of her life. she still lives with her mum, because a year ago her mother was in a car crash which has left her with a severe limp so she can't work. she tries to help from home, but it's not exactly great money. so, gemma's supporting her son and her mother, at only the age of nineteen. the saddest thing is her family weren't always so badly off. before she was born there was a pretty substantial family fortune in the bank. then gemma's uncle died and left the fortune to her father, who basically wasted it. his alcoholism led to his liver failure which killed him seven years ago. so, gemma's lifestyle now is kind of his fault..

gemma herself is, mostly, a lovely person. she's a sweet girl who, even with friends, acts like a mother, looking out for people. however, she's got the fiesty side to her and she's incredibly defensive of her family and very determined to make sure they're okay herself. she's independent and doesn't like taking charity. she's proud, you could say, but not arrogant. she's doing her best to get by in a town where most people are going to look down on her. she's not had a relationship since harvey was born and doesn't think she needs one, when she does. she needs affection and attention for once, as she gives her all to her family.

so, friends are few and far between for gemma. she doesn't have much time on her hands, so either they've got to mean a lot to her or be determined to make her see them. she is only nineteen and left school at seventeen, so some of the people around sixteen to eighteen might remember her a bit? not sure. enemies; well, anyone who argues with her and doesn't manage to gain her forgiveness. then, lovers. well, if someone wants to be her baby's daddy who has tracked her down or who she runs into, that'd be amazing :3 but otherwise, plots! pleeeeeaaasseeee (: <3

NOAH && GEMMA
Mkay, so Noah isn't really a big people person, but if people come up and talk to him, he's nice and polite. Unless of course, he doesn't really like them and whatnot. He's a jock and pretends to be all hardcore and tough, but really, once you get to know him, he's a big teddy bear. He treats women with respect and all that jazz. Um, I don't really know if they'd have anything epic going on, but maybe just casual friends? He can babysit and stuff when she wants to go out (:

HAYLEY && GEMMA
Hayley is absolutely adorable. She gets along with just about everyone because quite frankly, she loves people. She's very childish and naive to the world. She doesn't like to believe that people are bad, but rather that they're all good. She's always upbeat and smiling. Maybe she and Gemma could also be friend. You know, when Gemma is having a hard time, Hayley tries to cheer her up and whatnot. Again, nothing epic here, unless you've got another idea?

MADDOX && GEMMA
Alright, so given the fact that she's not wealthy, Maddox probably wouldn't like her.. or rather, he'd probably just not talk to her. He's kind of a douche bag to the people that he doesn't know because he's not social at all. He's quiet and has a selected number of friends. He'd probably make fun of her when she was around and stuff. He's kind of mean like that. Up to you if you'd want to plot them.

noah and gem

rightyho! (: gem doesn't go out much because she is so dedicated to her family, so maybe when noah offers he has to kind of go 'gem, go out. fool' and in a generalfriendpals kinda way is her little nudge to let go a bit sometimes? harvey's sure to love the big softie <3

hayley and gem

hayley strikes me as the sort of character that gemma will mother and look out for <3 and in return hayley can be the childish side, which gemma cut herself off from when she had harvey. does that make sense? so they sort of balance each other out. adult and child. (: i like the idea of them being friends. ^^'

maddox and gemma

maddox and his money immediately seem to me like the sort of things gemma is not going to like. the fact he looks down on her would really get her hackles up, and if he caught her on a bad day then he could end up making her really annoyed and angry which could be a nice argument? i don't know what sort of plots you'd be interested in. (: depends if he knows whether she has money or not, her family name used to have a lot of money, but has now lost it so... not sure on plot, any ideas? (:

Besides the fact their names sound incredibly cute together, I think that Jack and Gemma would get along really, really well. Jack knows how hard it can be becoming the breadwinner at such a young age, and although he doesn't have any children of his own, he sees his younger sister as a sort of a surrogate kid because he's been looking out for her ever since she was born. So, he knows what it's like to be in Gemma's shoes. I have a plot idea for these two regarding that. Maybe Gemma brings her car in to get fixed because something's wrong with it and it doesn't run correctly and Jack is the one who grabs her case and starts to take a look at the car. And maybe Gemma is in waaay over her head that day and just starts gushing about her life and how touch it is? Jack will talk her down from the emotional level she's at and tell her he can relate to her. They be buddies in the beginning and maybe later on down the line it develops into something more?

jack and gemma.

you're right. they sound beyond cute. :3 okie dokie rokie. i am going to go read jack's app super quick, then finish typing this... RIGHT. read :3 sorry, the sunlight has gone to my head today - i'm silly. i rather love jack <3 he's a good person for gemma to relate to. they've both had it hard since the age of around sixteen or so. so, here is my proposition. :3 i like the idea of her going to the garage to have her car fixed.. however, her only family car got totalled when her mother was in the accident and the insurance payout from it ended up going on her mother's surgery, so gemma hasn't got a vehicle. so, instead of taking her car to the garage, maybe she's come to the garage either because they have a secretarial job going [because she needs a more permenant job] or because she's looking into buying a second hand run around because she wants to be able to transport her family around more easily. she'll end up bringing harvey with her and i can see her getting wound up pretty easily, because she's always paranoid about how new people view her and she has a lot of bad days. so yes, i like this plan. :3 thread? totally go for some more plotting down the line as well <33

Ooh, I like that idea much better! There could be a position for like a bookkeeper or something because usually the front desk person who deals with the customers knows about cars fairly well. So, if Gemma knows her way around an engine then that would be the perfect job for her. Also, her coming on foot to apply with a toddler in tow would most definitely catch his attention. He's really good at reading people, so he'd know instantly that she's hurting. Awh, I love them. They're soooo cute! We should definitely thread them!

Shall I start or d'you want to? I think it makes most sense if you started but I don't mind either way.

[gemma emily simmons.]

jack and gemma

well, i know nothing about engines, but i can say gemma does. xD and she could totally go for a good job. :3 i shall start a thread if you want (: any particular length you'd like? (: my posts may start off a little bit bad, i'm a bit rusty, buuuut i'll fall back into it super quick. ^^'

I don't really know that much about engines or cars either, so I pretend. >.< We'll pretend together!
And, I don't care about length or anything so long as it's a quality post. People who stress over word count make me crazy. Plus, my word count usually goes up when my muse is flaring so we can start out slow and get the feel of them together and see what the chemistry between them tells us to do.
