Lorelei (old)/Introduction

"You don't figure out how to fit twenty clowns into a VW Bug without learning a little something about life."

Lorelei's father and mother met working in a travelling three ring circus. He was the strong man, she was the equestrienne acrobat. They fell in love, they got married, they had Lorelei... and they never left the circus. Born Laura Jean Vassiliades, she had a mostly happy childhood, though it was plagued by a severe seizure condition. As she grew older it became more severe, and specialists in both Western and more esoteric forms of medicine were sought out to no avail. If anything, any attempts to treat her only caused worse issues, some life threatening. When she was 14 she put her foot down... no more medical intervention. She woud rather die young living her own life as she chooses than live longer as a victim of a broken and imperfect body.

At 18, she ran away from the circus, finding in to be too restrictive. She travelled the world, surfed couches, slept on the street, busked for spare change, took on short term jobs here, there, and everywhere. Always feeling driven forward by some internal force she cannot explain. She fell in love, desperate, terrible, wholehearted love that blew up (quite literally) in her face, leaving her once more 'alone'. So she started anew in Prospect, and has found a new home, a new life, one that is hopefully not quite so likely to go KERBLOOIE.
