She knows there taunts well...She was here on a technicality. Yes her mother wasn't technically evil... Her father out of the picture, they assumed the influence wouldn't stick.Then she was born and suddenly the king wasn't so sure about his choices.She had presented with the same features that had been so feared in her father. She had obviously taken after the creature so hated by everyone....She hated their taunts...The bitter words they'd hurl at her whether it be in public or behind closed doors. But it's said that the only difference between a hero and a villain is their reaction. So instead of seeking revenge she decided to fight to make herself worthy of praise, if a chance. She started young often helping wildlife, freeing rabbits from snares and warding deer from roads.Though her mother resented her for her looks she didn't let that stop her from the desperate endeavors to gain her approval.Then she began attending Auradon and while the jeers became way less obvious they remained.And as her personality developed further so did her likes and dislikes. She liked nature and art, she disliked even hated... Being alone.Growing up she remembered tales of the boogeyman.A monster who would take and punish children who misbehaved. And though growing up she strived to help others that did not exempt her from misbehaving.She would often lash out at her mother before the woman had reached her breaking point and kicked her out. She remembers running and hiding from caregivers and bringing live creatures into the building.And yet despite her mischief, she had never met this 'Boogeyman'. She found herself longing to meet this 'monster' after all they sounded like they had a lot in common.She wondered if they would get along and as the thought rolled in her head she began to plot and research.She decided she would hunt this 'boogeyman'. Afterall maybe he would be her friend!
