Welcome to Gaia! ::

Located in Dunstable, England is the Connelly Manor which is home to the Connelly Family. Given to the family through Desmond’s late wife Vimala the family still resides there today. However, the manor is home to a growing blended family. After his wife passed Desmond found himself a relationship with Davina Richardson. After her husband’s passing the two began seeing each other and ultimately married.

Though Davina has put her various touches on the home itself, it has relatively remained the same. With Desmond away most of the time for work, the place is left in her hands. Unfortunately, that means most of the cleaning is done by the few house elves that remain and Desmond’s daughter Stella. This leaves Davina’s children Priscilla & Charlotte to work on their various art forms in the sitting room or in their respective rooms.

The outside of the manor is rather lush and green with a number of acres for the horses on the property to get in some much needed exercises. There is also a vegetable garden on the grounds.

Priscilla’s life had more or less been a joy ride up until this point. Her brother was the new cat’s meow and the only thing that mattered in her mother’s little world. That was until the grades came in and the heads rolled. Normally these situations would have started with Stella being called into question on her lack of helpfulness. Then Charlotte would be told she needed to try harder on her practical work and test examinations. However, neither happened here. Instead Priscilla was called to speak with her mother alone.

“How could you let your grades slide this far?” Priscilla heard her mother ask. “I didn’t mother. Stella… she stopped ensuring my grades remained as is.” She answered. She sure as hell couldn’t have said Stella stopped doing my homework for me. That would have gone over like a led brick. She was pretty sure when her mother said take the classes, she didn’t mean do their homework. Sure, Priscilla doubted her mother would care about her and Charlotte using their step sister but the concept probably wasn’t quite what she thought.

“How do you explain Charlotte’s grades then? Of either of you I expected this kind of thing from her.” Priscilla glanced down at the floor unable to answer. “Look at me when I’m talking to you.” She demanded. “Yes mother…” Priscilla answered wincing slightly before slowly lifting her gaze to meet her mothers. If looks could kill. “These grades of yours are a disgrace. You should be ashamed. If your grandparents found out, what would they think of their grandchild and the mother who raised them. If you don’t fix these grades mark my words Priscilla you will be locked in your room chained to your desk until you do.” Davina ranted stating her displeasure.

Priscilla knew not to mess with her mother she was a horrid woman who only ever liked Charlotte. She never understood why. The girl was as dumb as nails most of the time. Giving her mother a quick nod as she was dismissed to her room, Priscilla knew she’d have to do something if she ever wanted to leave her room again.
