 Biography

Gretchen was born on May 11th to Genevieve and Kevin Norman, and is an only child. She lived with her mother and father until she was 11, when her father was killed in an accident at work. She and her mother then moved in with her grandmother who had moved from England for one of Genevieve's brothers. She misses her father greatly, she believes he is happier where he is.

## Personality

Gretchen does her best to take care of people. She has a natural instinct to help others, and it comes with a warm voice and a smile. She is often motherly and nurturing to those she finds worthy of her help, but as any mother, she holds her friends to a high standard and becomes very upset when they don’t reach their potentials. She’s a bit of a perfectionist, and she can put herself down for not achieving her goals. She also has a tendency to stress over things she ultimately has no control over.
