![]() Jade's BackstoryA Story by writingcrazy55555![]() I have already written a novel, and have ideas for many more. This is the backstory of the main character in a novel that I am planning out. Let me know what you think!![]() She
had midnight black hair and ocean eyes, which were like two small blue islands
in the sea that was her face. She had high cheekbones and an oval-shaped face
with an olive skin tone. Her teeth were perfectly straight and pearly white.
She was often met with looks of resentment, and sometimes desire. Her looks
were certainly a cause of her enticing nature, but she also had a mysterious
past and a strange way about her, and those factors contributed more than her
physical beauty did. Her name is Jade. Jade
was born in a small kingdom that was surrounded by a dense forest, on the edge
of a land called Fortis. Her house was not very large, but it was cozy. The
fireplace was always glowing, and it cast a warm, gentle glow around the small
home. An array of wild flowers grew around the home, adding color to the dismal
area. Her
mother, in her youth, had been just as breathtaking as her daughter, which
explains why she was married early in life. Her mother had the same
dark-as-night black hair, but, unlike her daughter, she had dark brown eyes.
Her mother had often resented the thick, luxurious hair that fell down her
back. She ended up tying it back each day into a tight braid, securely
fastening it so that it wouldn’t come out. She hadn’t liked to attract too much
unwanted attention. Her
father was handsome. He had lived near the beach for all of his life. He had
bright blonde hair and deep blue eyes. His eyes were the exact same shade as
his daughter’s. He was a happy-go-lucky guy who had no care in the world. Love
wasn’t a big deal to him. That was, until he met Jade’s future mother. They
were married almost instantly. Her
childhood was difficult, to say the least. She attracted too much attention,
even as a toddler. People were always constantly swarming around her. They all
loved her eyes, blue as the clearest and purest ocean water and perfectly
catching the light. Over the years, her hair grew in long, slightly wavy, and
thick, thicker than the likes of any other person’s hair that they had ever
seen. For a short time, people were utterly fascinated with her, and she was
hardly ever alone. She clearly expressed this when she was four months old,
when she had begun wailing when a particularly large group of people had begun
to crowd around her, all of them wanting to have a look at the child. Around
the age of three, this fascination wore off, and people began to become weary
of her. Her looks seemed inhuman to them. Even at this age, she was far more
beautiful than any model. Even the way she walked was special. Her first steps
were not slow and clumsy, but fast and graceful. Every move she made was
elegant and perfect, never missing a step. She never made a single friend those
first few years. At
the age of four, her mother was carted off to a mad house, for she had begun to
have horrible hallucinations. Now she was left with her father, who was the
only person left in the world who loved her. He would remind her each and every
day that things would get better. He would hug her until she forgot about
everyone else, who, he always reminded her, were jealous of her. However,
despite the desperate attempts of her father, without her mother to help pay
the high taxes of the kingdom they lived in, they were soon evicted from their
house and forced to live on the streets. Food was scarce, and the best meal
they ever had was a tiny piece of chicken they had found in a nearby garbage
can. Both her and her father grew so thin that their bones were easily visible
underneath a thin layer of skin. Her
father soon died, and Jade was left alone. She took a small piece of red cloth
from his clothing to always remember him. She always kept it close by her, and
never let it leave her small hands. The
death of her father made her even more determined to survive. And that’s when
she struck a deal with someone that would change her life (for better or worst)
forever. © 2012 writingcrazy55555Reviews
