Welcome to Gaia! ::

She hadn't ever really expected to come back to Destiny City again. Her parents had been very open, very vocal about the fact that they did not want to go back to the place where they'd lost their daughter, where they'd been through such trauma. Where she had been through such trauma.

They'd said that her moving back in with them and the whole family going to Denmark was a re-bonding effort, something that would re-create the sense of family that they'd lost with Barren Pines. How could she say no? At the time, she thought she'd give anything just to be with her family again, to be a family again - after Barren Pines, her mother couldn't talk to her, couldn't even look her in the eyes without breaking down into sobs. Only her father had made the effort, even vaguely tried to re-connect with her, but although he hid it better than her mother, he had the same troubles with her coming back from the dead. The same doubts. She knew, had known at the time as well, that there'd been a period of time just after what the school had been doing was exposed, where her parents didn't think she was actually their daughter. Didn't think she was actually Aggie Thorsen, red-headed lover of ribbons with a stutter and a secret passion for geography. She knew that they'd talked extensively with the doctors and the police to verify that it was actually her. All the kids had had tests done on them to assure the system of their identities, but her parents had pushed for more tests, more bloodworks, more proof.

Maybe that was normal, she didn't know. She supposed she should've been hurt by it, but at the time there'd simply been such a numbness in her that she'd never really felt much about it. And when the numbness had gone away, well, she wasn't about to hash up old history and make people sad about what'd already passed. What she hoped had passed.

Her parents had said that Denmark would be a fresh start for them.

In a sense, they were right. It had been a fresh start, where no-one knew or cared about Barren Pines, senshi terrorists or a heightened number of assaults in DC. It'd been everything her parents had wanted, had promised, only...

Only as it happened, Aggie hadn't really wanted a fresh start. Wasn't willing to give up the trouble she'd been through and everything she'd known about the war that'd been taking place in DC; wasn't willing to let go of being a senshi or fighting the bad guys for the good of civilians who'd always think her a terrorist, a menace, no matter what she did.

But she'd pretended, and she'd given it her best go for all of two years. She'd graduated high school and started in college, she'd even made a few friends, but she'd never, ever forgot about her duty or what she should have been doing, instead of living the easy life an ocean away.

It'd come as no surprise to herself, then, when she just woke up one day and knew that this couldn't go on any longer. That day she'd started researching moving options, what kind of higher education DC could offer her, and what sort of apartments her money could get her there. And she'd talked to her parents, who'd screamed and cried and threatened to disown her, but none of that had really mattered to Aggie, had not even moved her decision an inch.

Eventually they'd given in, and although she doubted they'd ever really like her decision, they'd respected it and given her the financial help she needed to make it all work.

And she had made it all work; and now she was here, in DC, once again ready to be Sailor Vanadis, Senshi of Wards and do what she should've done the last two years; protect and serve.
