## History

### Early Life

Geraldine grew up in a loving family as the only daughter of Hamish and Florence Grus. Their family has always been avid supporters of the crown. At some point before The Awakening, her mother passed away

### Zodiac Academy

#### The Awakening

On the night of The Awakening, Geraldine waited for the new students in The Orb with the rest of the student body. When the new students came in, Principal Nova announced that the Vegas twins, Darcy and Tory Vegas, would be starting their education at Zodiac Academy. The room sat in awkward silence until Geraldine stood up and enthusiastically cheered prompting the rest of the students to also begin clapping.

The next morning, before classes, Geraldine hunted down Darcy and Tory to introduce herself, and tell them about the Almighty Sovereign Society. The twins were not particularly enthused and tried to lose Geraldine, but she did not notice.

Every day at lunch, Geraldine and the A.S.S. saved a table for the Vegas and their friends.

On the first Friday, on her way to the shuttle for Tucana, she ran into Darcy, Tory, Diego, and Sophia while they were heading for Diego’s car. Not wanting her to join them, Tory lied to Geraldine telling her that they were on their way to The Orb. Leaving the twins, Geraldine headed into town. When she got to town, she picked up an order and saw the twins at the bar. Confused, she walked up to them. They lied that they changed their minds so to not hurt her feelings. She showed off the pins she just picked up. They were for her club, inscribed with A.S.S. Darcy tried to explain that she would be walking around wearing a pin that spelled ass, but Geraldine wouldn’t hear it. They pointed out a group of A.S.S. members waiting for her, and Geraldine went to meet them. Later that night, Geraldine was attacked by a Nymph. Professor Orion heard her scream, and ran to her. He was able to kill the Nymph, and turn his attention to calling for help and healing Geraldine. Geraldine was further healed and then taken back to Zodiac Academy.

Geraldine spent a few days in the Uranus Infirmary. While there, Tory and Darcy visited her to get more information about the attack, and to wish her well. Max Rigel also snuck into visit her while she was asleep to check that she was ok. After her time in the infirmary, the twins started warming up to Geraldine. She recovered just in time to attend the first dance of the year.

In Sorrow and Starlight, after her parents and Angelica die in battle, Geraldine decides to dye her hair red to express her anger.

She is kind to her friends, and not afraid to be rude to those that are not courteous to them. Geraldine is a good student, and a fierce competitor. She has an extense vocabulary and a way to talk through weird metaphors that don't make sense to a lot of people.

## Relationships

### Romantic

#### Max Rigel

Geraldine first gets with Max under the effects of the moon, during the Lunar Eclipse in The Reckoning. Max believed that to be the best sex of his life, and immediately fell for Geraldine. However, Geraldine did not feel the same, and considered it to be a one-time mistake. Max pines after Geraldine all throughout Shadow Princess. When in Water Element class, Geraldine even mentions that she has hooked up with several "floppy fiddlesticks" since him, even though it was only a week after their hookup. Max asks her to come over that night to remind her how good it was, and she informs him that she has another date already planned. This makes Max very upset, though it does not turn him off from continuing to pursue Geraldine. In the novella The Big A.S.S. Party, it is revealed Geraldine does have feelings towards Max, but refuses to act on it due to him being a Celestial Heir and refusing to bow to the Vega twins, and so she's decided to accept a political engagement to Justin Masters. Max keeps pining after Geraldine throughout the series, and she gives in every now and then, but refuses to be in a relationship with him, even after the twins give her their approval. Geraldine eventually accepts her feelings for Max and they get together towards the end of Heartless Sky. During Sorrow and Starlight, she's nervous as she asks Max's father to have dinner together, but he seems to have accepted her for his son. She still treats him as a lowly Heir however, as he refuses to bow to the Vega twins.

#### Justin Masters

As he is a loyalist member of The A.S.S, and also of the Cerberus Order, Geraldine accepts a political marriage to Justin Masters at some point between The Reckoning and Cursed Fates. They decide to keep it a secret and make a deal with each other to be with whoever they want for the rest of their college years before they get married. They have a very loving relationship and remain good friends, although it is shown throughout the series that Justin does seem to be into Geraldine, and asks her to announce their engagement publicly. When Justin is wrongly accused of being the one who's murdering Fae during Heartless Sky, the engagement is off, but one it is revealed it wasn't him, she has a breakdown, feeling incredibly guilty. Even after Geraldine gets officially with Max Riger, Justin seems to still be pining after her.
