Kotomi Gimo

**Education:** | LU

Kotomi was born the second child to Stacey and Gerald Gimo. Stacey and Gerald were both accountants in a business firm who had been friends for life. When both their feelings turned romantic they pursued a relationship and after a while Stacey got pregnant with Jared. After the birth of Jared, Stacey and Gerald moved into a bigger house together. Shortly the year after they were married and Stacey found herself pregnant again. Gerald started to panic because he thought more children meant more money so he started applying for promotions and asking his boss for a raise. However went he finally did get the promotion it wasn’t what he wanted. Gerald didn’t get to see his second child born due to being on a business trip and he missed many other important events in his children lives.
Kotomi had a rough childhood. By her mother, she was compared nonstop to her older brother Jared. In school, Jared was a straight A student. Kotomi struggled to get B’s but eventually got there. She was always second best. Plus Kotomi rarely spent time with her father, who was gone on several business trips a year. Because of this, she became majorly jealous of her brother which leads to future problems. In elementary school, she was very troubled. She tired her best to get attention of the staff and teachers but that only landed her in more trouble. She tried her very best to make friends through each grade but failed badly. Her parents didn’t understand what had been wrong with her, and why she just couldn’t be like her brother.

Sadly her behavior continued till high school. While her brother, Jared excelled in college, she excelled in attitude problems and barley kept a 3.0 G.P.A. However, someone finally caught her attention. His name was Dwight Juba and even though he was a senior and she was two or three years his junior that didn’t stop her from pursuing him. She managed to clean up her act and turn herself around. She no longer showed attitude towards her teachers and her parents and for once towards her brother. She managed to become close friends with him and was very sad when he graduated from high school. She still made sure to keep contact with him via cell phone and when she graduated she worked very hard to enroll in Lebeaux University as well.
However when she came, her jealousy began again because she saw Dwight with his new friend Lois. Dwight constantly said, he had no interest in Lois, though she didn’t believe it. Still she waited and waited until Dwight got his masters and he proposed to her. Shortly after their wedding in 2010, Kotomi received word that her father died in a plane crash on his way home from Korea. She wasn’t as saddened as Jared or her mother but she was still pretty sad. She tried to console her mother but instead her mother blamed his death on her. Kotomi decided to estrange herself from her mother. A few months, she received word from her brother that her mother died from drowning in her own bathtub.
Kotomi was very saddened by her parent’s death within the span of a few months and she took her rage out on Dwight by accusing him of refusing to console her. She started accusing him of infidelity, to which Dwight denied and her jealousy was getting out of control. Things cooled down when Kotomi found out that she was pregnant. During her pregnancy, Dwight tried his hardest to make sure she was happy. After their daughter Blaze was born in early 2013, the jealousy arose again and this time Dwight had had enough of it so he called quits on their marriage. At first Kotomi was granted custody of their daughter, but lost her due to the improper decisions she had made. Kotomi had lost her job and slipped into a depression after moving into her brother’s home. So she allowed herself to take illegal drugs and get addicted to them.
After she lost custody, Kotomi made sure to get herself cleaned up by forcing herself to go to a rehab center. By February of 2015, she was out and better than ever. After thinking for a while about her future and Blaze’s future, she has decided to go back to school to become a nurse and she is attending Barfield Institute of Science and Technology.

Kotomi is a very jealous person and she likes to own things that are hers. She is very distrusting especially with the people very close to her. Otherwise, she can be very loving and sweet if you don't get on her bad side however she can also be very mean and have an attitude problem. When she doesn't like someone, she is talking to it is very evident because she shows it. Another part of her wants to repent for all the bad she has done and get her daughter back but she knows she has to prove it and she is very well determined to.
