==Chronology==
When she was ten her family arranged for her to marry a boy, when they meet the boy showed her an animal he was abusing.<ref>“I was engaged to marry a boy when I was ten,” Gemma told Eloise.  “My mother and I went to his place for the Christmas holidays.  To allow us a chance to play, to bond.  He took me by the hand, around the back of the property, to where he had an animal chained to a tree.  I’ll spare you the details, except to say it was a demonstration of how little love he had in him, and how much cruelty was in store for me.”- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/02/22/gone-and-done-it-17-b/ Excerpt] from [[Gone and Done It 17.b]]</ref> Afterwards she rebelled against her parents and not [[Awakening|awakened]].<ref>“I stopped being a joyful child, then.  I fought, I rebelled, I begged.  I took every recourse available to me.  When I relieved myself on my bedroom floor and smeared it on the walls, screaming at them when they entered, I was sent to an ogre of a woman who was meant to knock sense into me.  As I’m meant to do for you, here.  As I did for Samantha.  A teacher of harsh lessons, a final recourse before they give up on you.  She asked me- I ask you:  ''Do you want this?''”- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/02/22/gone-and-done-it-17-b/ Excerpt] from [[Gone and Done It 17.b]]</ref>
