Appearance:: Some people describe Gemma as a pretty girl. Some describe her as too thin. Some think she is short. Those things are all true about Gemma. She is a very thin girl and is told by her mother that she needs to get more meat on her bones. But she says that she doesn't like to eat meat or even eat a lot of food. She is extremely paranoid about her weight. Gemma isn't very short, nor is she very tall. Compared to her mother, she is quite short but she doesn't mind being short. People call her petite and delicate. That is true. Her features are quite delicate and her walk even looks delicate. She looks like something you could just break. Her legs are long and thin but her torso is shorter then a normal person's torso. Her face has a delicate looking texture to it but thats all that can be said about her face. Delicate. Thats all.

Gemma's skin is very delicate. Most of the time, its quite pale and with a bit of makeup, she looks plastic. Her skin is smooth and soft. But the bad part about her skin is that it easily burns. She doesn't spend most of her time outside and when she does, she tries to stay in the shade. Her hair is the most delicate part about her. It isn't long, just down past her shoulder blades when it's curled and when its natural, down a little farther. Gemma's hair is naturally wavy. The texture of it makes it look like a dolls hair when it's neatly curled but most times, she just lets it hang. Just recently, she has grown bangs that are the only straight part about her hair. Gemma's hair is a brunette color. It doesn't lighten much in the summer but sometimes she colors it to make it look almost red. Most of the time it just hangs. Her eyes are a very soft light blue but with her colored contacts that really bring out her eyes, they are a little darker then her natural color. When she turns into a wolf, her eyes turn to an icy blue.

Gemma is very much into fashion so she reads magazines on latest fashions and whatnot. She likes shopping for clothing and loves to show off what she buys. She likes jeans the best and with beads and belts, which are quite useful since she is thin. She likes letting them hang down from out under her shirts which are usually long. She hates showing off her actual body for some reason. She likes wearing fun bright shirts as well as shirts with pretty odd prints and designs. Sometimes, she even wheres Hot Topic band shirts for she has a few. But she does not often wear them. Gemma hates shoes. She would rather walk barefoot then wear something on her feet. Normally, you will see her in the class room with no shoes. She wears flip flops a lot of the time and has a lot of pairs of vintage flats. She doesn't wear large heals for they really hurt her feet. Gemma has pierced ears and loves to be creative with ear rings. She likes to make her own to match a special shirt or pants or even shoes. She loves wearing jewelry, especially bracelets. She always wears several bracelets on each arm. Every bracelet she has means something to her and she loves each one. She hates rings because they always fall off her fingers since her fingers are really skinny. She doesn't wear many necklaces but she has one that her father gave her shortly before he died. Its a silver chain with a silver rose on it. She loves the necklace and wears it all the time.

Personality: When you first meet Gemma, she will probably give you the cold shoulder for a few days or a week, sometimes more, depending on who you are. She doesn't talk much around new people and tries to stay out of fights and arguments in class because she feels that kids can deal with there own problems. In class, though, she speaks out when needed or if she knows that it is truly needed. And sometimes, when she speaks in public with family and friends, its shocking to them. Gemma talks to herself most of the time. When writing, she talks to herself or an invisible person. She acts as though there is someone there, listening to whatever word she says. Other then that, she stays quite reserved until you get to know her a little more...

Once Gemma will open up to you, she is one of the most fun person you might ever meet. She loves to joke around and make people laugh. She does have a great sense of humor and when people are around that Gemma trusts and loves she can be a real hoot. Sometimes she doesn't even have to make a joke and the person laughs. Many people say to her that they feels even brighter being just around her. To Gemma thats a compliment. She is really good at making friends once she opens up a little more. She loves having friends and she doesn't know what she would do without her own. Gemma is clumsy and does really stupid things sometimes which just sends people off the wall, laughing and Gemma will just smile and laugh along. She is also very cheerful when with her friends.

You see a little kid, crying because she fell off the swing and her arm hurts. Do you know who will be there to make it better? Gemma. Thats right. Gemma cares about everyone and everything unless the thing is bad and doesn't mean anything to Gemma. She cares about animals and whats going around in the world. She loves helping people with problems and talking to them about situations and what they could do to make things better. Gemma cares mostly about her friends and students and what goes on in their lives, sometimes more then her own self because she knows she would be know where without them. She is gentle and understanding to problems and always tries to help. She tries to be the one to save the day. Or save a friend. Her friend. She just loves to help.

Gemma is very creative which makes her a good writer. She comes up with ideas from teaching, the outside world, and sometimes just other books she reads. She loves reading. Being good at math, makes her good with music. She plays guitar and to her, the peaceful instrument helps her with poetry since she also writes poetry. She thinks the rhythm of the guitar and the rhythm of words can blend together to make a song and thats when she sings her poetry which turns into a beautiful melody. Sure her brain functions differently but that doesn't mean she is stupid.

History: Gemma was born on October 2 to two people named James and Judy Green. She was born in Kentucky. Her father had a stud farm with about twenty Thoroughbred stallions. He had a good business, bringing in mares from broodmare farms, breeding and getting money. In his younger days, James was a jockey. He was a small skinny man, perfect for being a jockey and he was a good one at that. He had a love for horses so when he retired, he bought a stud farm, married Judy and together, with some stable hands, they managed a medium sized stud farm. Her mother was a local newspaper editor and wrote stories about the nearby racetracks and races that were held there. Her mother had been an English teacher for several years, teaching the middle school level. Her love of books read to writing. Other then writing for the newspaper, she wrote two children picture books and a young adult chapter book.

Gemma had a normal childhood until she was three. She received her very first pony when she was three. The pony was an old mare named Toffee and the two spent all their days together. Gemma bathed her pony, brushed her pony, fed her pony, and rode her pony. Sometimes she would just sit out in the field and talk to her pony all day. Gemma didn't have many friends since they lived in the middle of no where. She was home schooled by her mother when she turned five. She enjoyed being home schooled because that meant she could spend more time with her pony, as well as stay at home. Her mother didn't go very easy on her. As she got a little older, she received homework and sometimes timeout if she didn't listen. Gemma really didn't care. It was her mother and together, they bonded. But when Gemma was seven, Toffee died of heart failure and Gemma was heart broken. Her father said he would get her a new pony but that never happened...

When Gemma was eight years old, her father died in a freak accident. He had been driving down the road, when a car pulled out in front of him and before he knew it, he had crashed. His car and the other man's car both caught of fire and both men died in the accident. At the funeral, she met her mother's family. Her grandmother, uncle, aunt, and two cousins. Her cousins were Evan, who was seven at the time and Gabby, who was three. Gemma had never met any of her close family before so this funeral was a big deal for her. Gemma had been told by her grandmother that her middle name was her real name. She took Gemma aside after a while and told the young girl that she was a witch but Gemma didn't understand. Julietta said that they would talk at another time.

Only a few months later, Ms. Green was forced to sell the farm and move away. Since Gemma had been home schooled and they lived in the middle of no where, it wasn't hard for her to leave. So they moved to all the could afford that wasn't an apartment. They moved into a town in Pennsylvania called Millersville. She went to school at the elementary school like a normal girl but when she came home, she came home to an empty house. Her mother had gotten a job as a Newspaper editor for the local newspaper, so Gemma was quite proud of her mother but she didn't get home until six every night. When Gemma was ten, she finally complained to her mother that she hated coming home to a lonely house. Her mother didn't argue and a few days later, they went out to the pet store. Gemma wanted a puppy more then anything so her mother got her a Miniature Long-haired Dachshund who Gemma named Delta. She loved Delta and the two couldn't be separated.

Gemma didn't make any close friends during the first four years of school but she didn't mind. She taught herself how to play guitar and wrote poetry or a short novel whenever she got the chance. She had Delta and the love for writing. What else could she need? That year, her grandmother visited their house and once again took Gemma off to the side and told her that she was indeed a witch. When Gemma asked if her mother was, Julietta shook her head. She said that Judy was a witch, but she didn't believe it so she could cast any spells that were noticeable. When Gemma asked if any other family were witches, her grandmother shook her head and after a long pause, she said that Gemma should go to wizardry school. So after her year of public school was over, at age thirteen was sent to, yeah you guessed it, Veneficus. She came during third year so she had to work a lot to catch up but after she did, wizardry school was very fun for her.

Shortly after schooling was over, she returned home for the summer before college and sadly that summer, Delta died from getting hit by a car. Gemma was heart broken but also glad because she knew that there was no way that she could have taken Delta to college with her. She went to college in France and took several classes. She was interested in charms, divination, and transfiguration so she trained herself to transform into a wolf but only at full moon. She is still working on that. She loved Charms, though. It was her favorite course and she became quite interested. Divination didn't last long. She got bored after two years. She also took a few other courses. She learned about the history of wizards, French, and she took a muggle writing course and guitar lessons every Monday. Her college years were busy but she was able to make one friend that could speak English. Her name was Sarah Toome who was her age and very smart. The two did almost everything together and enjoyed each other's company. Sarah could transform into a hawk and taught Gemma some useful tips. At a family gathering, when Gemma was twenty-two and she was on her last year of college, she took Sarah with her and introduced her to Evan, who was a year younger, and Gabby who was just starting college. Evan and Sarah really seemed to hit it off and only two years later, they were married.

During those two years, Gemma was still in France studying French and Charms, as well as working on Transfiguration. She was still taking some advanced courses and trying her hardest but after her two year term, she moved back home with her mother, went to the wedding, and ended up getting another dog, the same breed as Delta was but the only difference was that this little neutered puppy was a boy and his name was Max. Her mother still had the job as a editor but had moved up in ranks. Four a year, Gemma helped her cousin and Sarah get moved in to there apartment in a town near Millersville and spent a lot of time with them. Really, over that year, she got to know her family better and learn to love them. Her grandmother still lived up in Canada and once in a while, Gemma went to visit her but one time, she dropped in on old Veneficus and ended up going in for a interview about a needed Charms teacher. She took the job with out hesitating and moved up to Veneficus. Her grandmother was quite proud that she had found a job as a professor and now, she can't wait to start!
