This is only a brief interview with Gemma; to really check out her full story check out Not Waiting For Superman by eccentricities
1.What’s your real, given name?
Jemima Reed.
2.What do you like to be called and why?
They call me Gemma, Jemima is a bit too long.
3.How old are you?
Fifteen going on sixteen.
4.How old do you act?
I'm not one to judge myself, I guess I'm pretty bipolar. Sometimes I fangirl like a twelve year old does at One Direction, others like a thirty year old English teacher who quotes Jane Austen.
5.Birthday and Zodiac Sign
Ah, my birthday is on the twenty second of November, which means my zodiac sign is...uh...Scorpio?
6.Does your Zodiac Sign describe you very well?
Well, I looked it up a few seconds ago, and not very well, no. I've been told I'm wise beyond my ages (then again, this came from my friend who thought so because I found high school parties immature) and, yes, I do wear a mask (that's what the website said, but in my case, I wear a mask both on a psychic and a literal sense.)
7.Describe your personality in five words
Well, I was told I was overly quirky, impulsive, weird, um...I don't know. I guess, I'm different.
8.What is your ultimate goal at the moment?
To find who my father is and stop what seems to be something he plotted. It didn't look very nice.
9.What’s stopping you from getting it?
Keeping the whole thing a secret. School. The fact that I have almost no idea of...of anything about him or his operation!
10.Are you single or taken or something else?
Single. Not ready to mingle, for sure.
11.Are you in love with anyone at the moment? What orientation is your character?
Nope, gladly. I think. And straight. As a line. I think.
12.How do you fall in love: instantly, over time or some other way?
I don't know. I've never fallen in love.
13.Describe your ideal guy/girl.
I don't have a checklist in my head, but he should be smart. Kind. Honest. And loves me. That's all I need.
14.Who is your closest friend? What are they like?
My closest friend, would have to be Alex. Alex Walker. Honestly, he's the definition of average in comparison to his family. His brother's the star quarterback, his mom's one of those lawyers in fancy suits, dad's the police commissioner. But, he's great, you know? He has these crazy, sometimes sadistic, whimsically creative ideas. And he's different. He's sweet sometimes. Funny. Hey, you don't look at me like that, okay? Our relationship is 100 plus 1 percent platonic!
15.Who is your worst enemy? Why?
My dad. He killed my mom, apparently he's plotting some sort of large-scale, life threatening scheme, the list is pretty endless.
16.Are you a mommy or daddy’s boy/girl? Why?
"Mommy" is dead, "Daddy" is an ignorant asshole, but if anything, mom.
17.What was/is your childhood like?
It was...blissful, compared to the present.
18.What do you look like (in short)?
Brown hair, light, but not fair, skin, about...5"5 and a half?
19. What is your best feature? (Physical)
Wow, *laughs*, never thought about this before. I have nice hair?
20.What is your worst feature? (Physical)
Well, my sister, Sierra, used to call me chipmunk because of my cheeks.
21.If you could change one thing about yourself, personality or physical, what would it be?
Personality. When I hear, or think about something sad, traumatic, like news about my dad, or my mom, or my other life behind the mask catching up to the ones I love, I can't think straight.
22.What is your strongest sense? (Hearing, seeing, tasting etc). How do you use this to your advantage?
Does "Overly enhanced fight-or-flight reactions" count as sense? I use it to my advantage by, eh, I fight, and I fly. simple as that.
23.What are you the best at?
Eating. I'm great at that. I guess I'm good at fighting, but that's an instinct thing rather than a talent (just read the story, bet you're really confused right now)
24.What are you usually noticed for?
I'm barely noticed at all, really.
25.What do you usually get in trouble for (if at all)?
Usually, I don't, I was always an under-the-radar type, like I mentioned before, but lately I've been late to class, homework submissions, thanks to Alex's and I's daily escapades out in the city.
26.Describe where you’re living right now.
Well, I live in my sister's house with her boyfriend. It's a small two story house, three rooms, blue walls on the outside, light yellow on the inside. A small kitchen, a fridge full of beer and instant taco flavoring powders and shells (you can blame me for that last one), you get the gist.
27.Describe your life right now.
Complicated. Confusing. Weird. Yeah.
28.If you could be any animal what would you be?
Er...a bat. I'm sorry, just a huge Batman fan.
