Early Life
Uneasy life for this family, who has received this baby in a very unwelcoming behavior from her parents. Her mother was a whore and her father a drunk one, they lived in a poor cabin and were only yelling and beating each other. Only fair moments of love were shared with the baby girl, blond hair with empty eyes.
It took years for the drunk parents to realize their daughter is blind completely and by then it was too late to return her sight back.
She was beaten, left to starve at times as punishment, but she always found her place to run and hide, somewhere safe. She has never had a person to trust but was still depended on many because of missing sight.
She has no education, only from stories heard around, as a roaming child, she was being used without her knowledge and so as she became a teenager, she has trusted no one, and kept herself from others. Some charity, a woman, found her roaming around age 15 and helped her to stay alive. Taught her the world through her senses, but nothing could teach her trust.
But that’s when she took off, trying to find a better life but hell knows how she will find her way alone with her blindness.
Present Life
Arriving to New Alexandria, Colette harbored at Saint Denis where she first got to start her journey.
She spent her few weeks down there to get to know the city as it is important to know a big city for any needs, she stayed sleeping with the other stray kids, and whenever she has decided to leave town she would follow wagons and riders till she reached her destination. The first face she has met was a native boy who helped her arrive to Valentine, it was not as loud but stinky and dirty to her dislike - but there where people were. She stayed there most of the days, looking for ways of getting money just for food, is all she needed.
It was soon enough many good people came to her rescue, the first lady who gave her the first stick was Maria Anne Spacito, a lovely old short woman who gave Colette a daily food, hot meals and the stick that served her for a long time. She has treated her from gunshot wounds made by the angry yokels but it was a friendship to begin with.
Not too far after, she has met quite the gang of Jayjay Kray, Lottie Kingston, Henry Valentine, Twinkle and Samson Simmerson. They all went on adventures, exploring areas of New Alexandria, hiking and becoming pirates! She also has met
Zoe Brown the Queen of Rhodes, and along with a few other friends, she has became the Knight of Rhodes! Along the way she met Rose Miller and
Felix Avery who joined the group. Zoe was considered Colette's best friend, but things have slowly changed. Maria has slowly changed, things became different and no one has shared those moments with Colette, her adult friends like Jasper has disappeared and she felt lonely and pushed away. The little bit of hope she had was from her friends.
