Gemma Easton

Background
Gemma’s mother died giving birth to her, and so she was raised by her grandparents and her sometimes-there-dad, only coming around when he needed to sleep off his drinking or when he needed more money from her grandmother. Her father always resented her in some ways, believing that she was the reason that his beloved wife was now gone from this world, when in reality, it was in no way Gemma’s fault, her mother had undergone a difficult pregnancy and everyone knew it, including her own father. Although, her grandparents spoiled her and loved her unconditionally, Gemma always tired to gain her father’s acceptance, through school and good grades, and learning how to be the best wolf in the pack possible, nothing ever worked though, and when someone tells you that you are an awful person for long enough, you start to believe it. Even after he died, Gemma still had a sense of wanting to prove herself to him, always trying to be the best at everything she does, trying to show him that her mother hadn’t died in vain. It was her tenacity that made Lucas notice the young wolf in his pack. He watched her grow, watched as she went toe to toe with those in her ranks, trying to prove that she was the perfect wolf from nose to tail. When Lucas started his pack, his dominance was enough to keep everyone in line, but after years it wore down and people got used to him and he chose the perfect wolf in his pack to take over as beta: Gemma. The honor marked her heart far deeper than anything could have and still to this day, she wishes that she could show her father just exactly what her need for perfection had gotten her in life.

Personality
Gemma is a stronger person because of what went on growing up with her father, she doesn’t take crap from anyone, but at the same time, the memories from her past still hurt her. She is a perfectionist in every arena in her life, even a bit of a neat freak, most would consider her extremely anal. She is both street and book smart, and she also doesn’t tolerate people talking down to her or anyone around her, due to what happened to her growing up.
