Autumn Scorpio

Autumn is the daughter of Evelyn Scorpio, and the niece of Robert and Mac Scorpio. She and her mother moved to Port Charles five years ago to reconnect with their family, after having spent most of their lives separated. She is currently a student at Port Charles High School. 
== Growing up Scorpio ==
For most of Autumn's childhood, life consisted of only her, and her mother. It felt like just the two of them against the world, even with the rare visits and occasional phone calls with the rest of the Scorpios in Port Charles. The two could clash and butt heads like most mothers and daughters, but Autumn always counted herself lucky to have the mother she did. Her mother told amazing stories, and Autumn took after her adventurous spirit, refusing to live a life that was boring or mundane. This led her to an interest in books, comics, movies, sports, and video games. 
From a young age, Autumn began to notice the differences between her and her peers. While she was sociable and friendly enough to make quick friends at school, she lacked interest in romance, boy bands, and playing house. She played along for the sake of fitting in, going as far to buy movies, posters, and other merchandise for the sole purpose of getting closer with her friends. 
As she got older, and her friends started getting more into boys, Autumn felt as if she was being left behind. Boys never interested her outside of the realm of friendship, as she would hang out with them to skateboard or play video games, but she continuously rejected the idea of having a boyfriend. 
This, compounded with her hidden interest in girls, made Autumn feel like an outsider. Given the glamor and romance surrounding heterosexual relationships, she felt wrong for not wanting one, and began to ignore her feelings. 
== Life in Port Charles ==
Five years ago, shortly after Autumn turned eleven, Autumn's mother made the decision to move to Port Charles, New York, in order to connect with her brothers and get to know the rest of her family. While Autumn initially had a hard time leaving her friends behind, she warmed up to the idea of getting to know her uncles and cousins after spending most of her life without any extended family. She grew close to the Scorpio clan rapidly, often spending most of her summers with her Uncle Mac and Aunt Felicia, along with her younger cousins Emma, Georgie, and James. 
Autumn's inner conflict grew as she did, though she did her best to repress it. By the time she started high school, she would pretend to have crushes whoever the cute boy of the month was, and try to convince herself that they were real. The best distraction was the friends she made during 9th grade: Cameron, Trina, Josslyn, and Dev. She initially met Trina Robinson on the track team, and was soon introduced to her circle of friends. They soon became like five peas in a pod, spending most of their weekends and after school hours together. 
Even with her closest friends, Autumn still hides the truth she knows in the back of her head. Her fear of losing those she's closest with drives her to deny the secret she carries about her sexuality, though she hasn't fully come to terms with it well enough to even say it out loud when she's alone. Feeling that it would be too big of a difference not to change her relationships with her family and friends, Autumn keeps it to herself, and instead focuses on her interests and hobbies. 
On the first day of school, Autumn is given the task of showing new student Zara O'Brien around school. She is immediately taken by how open Zara is about her life. She offers to introduce Zara to her friends group n hopes of spending more time with her. 
== Personality ==
A teenager, Autumn is still in the difficult midst of figuring out who she is and what she wants. She is a friendly, adventurous girl, always looking for something new and fun to do. She is often the first to make the spontaneous decision of rock climbing, or sneaking into a horror movie. Though not a troublemaker at heart, she enjoys the occasional adrenaline rush. Autumn likes to crack jokes and make her friends laugh, though the famous "fiery redhead" stereotype isn't completely absent from her. When pushed too far, Autumn is liable to lose her temper, a trait she likely inherited from her mother. 
Underneath it all, Autumn is also sensitive and vulnerable. She is insecure about who she is, and who she wants to be, especially when it comes to her sexuality. She's yet to admit to anyone that she thinks she's a lesbian.
