Jem is in all aspects of life, is a dreamer. She has all these things that she wants to be and takes comfort in knowing that she'll accomplish them all someday. Although a bit naive in that sense, her perspectives has always been idealistic and pure. She believes that life is too short but has so much to offer otherwise it would be a waste to deter oneself to such a chance, or be affected by other people's words in achieving what you want. Always she prefers sharing that moment with someone, a close companion or say a group of highschool friends in a summer beach house?
A young woman with a weak but virtuous heart, Jem is always happy to lend a hand to those who need, specially to her closest friends. She has a brightness and passion that is just so genuine and infectious that is never lost to people that met her. But being herself, a wishful thinker, has it's drawbacks. She is not necessarily optimist therefore disappointments and heartbreaks have familiarly come their way for putting so much faith in people she care for even giving them encouragement and support even if they don't see themselves or are not strong enough to be that way.
Hometown: New York
Background: Jemima lived and grew up all her life in Brooklyn. Celine, her mother, is a fashion photographer who raised Jemima on her own. At 6, she first met Richie, and through them both their parents got well acquainted. Not long, Celine and Richie's father, Richard, started dating and by the time she was twelve, they got married.
Eversince, Jemi has always been a lonely child. Because of her illness, she had very little freedom, often taken away by the frequent visits to the doctor and surgeries that followed after. Her mother was very protective of the young Jemima, who would let her spend a few of years being homeschooled. There she indulged herself in with art, music from her uncle's old vinyl records collecting dusts in the attic also the place where she frequently hung out, even building her own club house. And of course gardening, taking care and collecting small adorable plants, where they reside in her nifty balcony.
By middle school she studied at Park Crossing with her step brother until highschool. During the summers Jem would usually work at her aunt's Flowershop, which she loves and does every year. But this summer just after their recent graduation, it seems that some plans would be changed. Another beginning to an ending chapter to look forward too.
Miscellaneous: - Works at her Aunt's flower shop during the summers.
- Has a green thumb.
- Raised by a single mother. She had met her real father once, who has a family of his own too.
