Her Story

Back Ground:

Peprika was born and raised in Ireland. That much she knew. But for some reason any memory or parents or family were nonexistent. She had a life like any child. She had toys, would be enrolled in school. She could always remember the sound of other children laughing. Where they her siblings? Years went by like this. She attended school, and slowly got older... Around the age of 8, she came home one day to find her house... Not there. Nothing but a smoldering pile of wood remained.

From that day on, Peprika was alone. It was all fuzzy. It wasn't that her 'parents' died. They could no longer care of her. So they left her, and went to take care of themselves. She was to young to understand anything other then, her parents left her. The local orphanage would take her in.

When she turned 10, she was adopted by a family that came from America. They were Irish, lived in Boston... They treated her like a child, but taught her how to be responsible. She never viewed them as her parents though. They fine tuned her cooking and cleaning... How to take care of herself. They were a nice couple. Things were good to say the least. Until the women conceived her own child.

They would throw Peprika away. Not literally, but thats how she felt. She was placed into the system in America. it was a horrible place. But Thankfully she was able to keep going to her same school, even if she was struggling with keeping up. At the age of 15 Peprika was sick of all of this. The empty feeling she carried. Her self esteem plummeted. It was hard to run away from an orphanage. But... things looked up. She had been adopted again. Oddly enough because of her age...

Of course it was because of her age that she was adopted. The people that took her this time, had no intention of ever taking care of her. They jsut wanted the checks... Luckily for Peprika, she was able to take some of the money and run. She wanted to make the most of what she could with her life...

She got a one way ticket to the other side of the world. Japan. She never looked back, once she got off the plane. She was almost 16, and she was able to get a job, and they owner of the store let her sleep in a back room until she had enough saved... And she got herself enrolled into school. School seems to be a reoccurring theme here!

Peprika's love her education was unmatched by anyone around her. It was the only thing she needed to survive... After a year, she was doing cram school, and practice exams for university. She had moved to Shibuya, worked at a bakery a there, and lived nearby. She had finally started to make it on her own... But University would be expensive. So she busied herself with working. and trying to get scholarships.... The year passed like a breeze... She had somehow made it.

Part of her money earn was going into speech class. She was so busy that she never would have thought about what was coming in the next year. She made it into University with some scholarships...

But a part of her was still missing. She worked, took her speech classes... Did hr schooling. She never had any friends. She did her best to blend in with those around her, wearing fashionable clothing. But she rarely ever had more then an acquaintance.

Present Day:

Peprika is a healthy young women in her first year of college. She has a job, her Japanese speech has improved. She still carries a bit of an Irish accent. She has a wardrobe full of nothing clothing, a comfortable flat. Her own computer, a reliable job. She learned that she wanted to be a teacher, and was striving for that. She never told anyone her story. She never had anyone to tell it too. But she was content with her life.
