uncovering the truth;
[/font]personality; Remy is the picture of etiquette. Her family raised her with strict English manners. She knows the proper manners to show in situations that most people will never even experience. Because she was taught to behave so well, though, she is almost afraid to step out of line. In a way, she is driven by fear. She’s afraid to disappoint her family. She joined the execution squad simply because she was afraid to tell the headmaster no. She’s afraid there’s something wrong with her, though, because now that she’s begun to participate in the games, she finds them strangely therapeutic.
The girl has never been one to cause a scene. She’s exceptionally friendly and rarely says an out of the way word to anyone. The truth is, though, that she wants to. She’s very submissive most of the time and is easily intimidated. She’s also quite gullible. Because of this, she’s terribly easy to manipulate. She feels guilty a lot of the time even if she hasn’t done anything wrong. She’s constantly apologizing for things that she hasn’t done.
Discipline is one of Remy’s best qualities. She’s been in ballet since she was very small. It was the only thing she ever did because she wanted to rather than because it was tradition or because her parents insisted upon it. She trains rigorously even though she no longer performs her dances. It’s a coping mechanism for her. Even if she can’t depend on anything else, she knows that she can dance. She’d rather die than be unable to dance.
Remy is terribly loyal. Once she’s decided she cares about someone, she will do absolutely everything she can to help them in any way possible. Even if whatever they ask isn’t the most moral or logical thing out there. It’s quite dangerous, really. She’s nearly killed herself trying to help a friend before.
Trust used to be something the girl had no problem with. She trusted positively everyone. However, when she was fourteen, she had sex with a boy she thought she loved. She got pregnant and he dumped her. Since then, it has been excessively difficult to gain the girl’s trust. Once you have it, though, it’s also very hard to lose.

hometown; Rochester, England
personal history; Elves blend in more than most creatures, and the Carter family decided to use that to their advantage. Sarai and Edward took up residence in England, where Edward’s family was from. His father was a duke, and the family had more money than they could properly spend. That being said, they were expected to do quite a lot of entertaining. It surprised them all when Sarai turned up pregnant. She and Edward had not planned on having children at all. However, they handled the situation with poise and dignity, dressing the woman in the most fashionable maternity clothes and hiring a nanny.
Remy’s birth was handled as well as it could be. She was delivered in a non-traditional water birth. Her mother wanted her to be closer to nature than the walls of a hospital would allow. That set the course for her life. She’s done all she can to be as close to nature as possible. As a small child, the girl spent most of her time outside. She was quickly discovered to be a wonderful gardener. Her favorite plant in all the world has always been ivy. She grew some outside the door of the family’s house, and it covers the entire doorframe.
The Carter family has never been as close as most families. Neither Edward nor Sarai understand children very well, and they never really tried to get along with the girl. They simply turned her care over to the nanny and resolved to send her to a finishing school as soon as she was old enough. Thus, the girl was relinquished to the companionship of Jane, her nanny, and hardly thought of by her parents or their guests again until she turned seven.
On her seventh birthday, Remy became old enough to attend a private boarding school for girls in Brussels. Her father, who was a slave to her mother’s wishes, sent the girl away to learn the proper behaviors of a young woman. She spent few holidays with her family, typically opting for the company of her schoolmates.
By the time she turned twelve, she’d taken an overly developed interest in the boys school across the street. Having never spent time with boys her age, she resolved to escape and explore the grounds. At this age, she was not nearly so afraid to step out of line as she has become. For the next several weeks, she sneaked to the other school, making friends with several of the students. Before her thirteenth birthday, she had her first boyfriend. She experienced many things she’d only heard of with him. The first time they kissed, she was desperately afraid that she would be pregnant.
It didn’t take her long to learn that kissing cannot result in pregnancy. Her fourteenth birthday offered a surprise, though. Flattering her with talk of love and impending matrimony, the boy persuaded Remy that if she truly loved him, she would have sex with him. In an attempt to prove her feelings, she did. A couple of months later, she realized something was wrong with her body. She asked a friend for advice and then the school nurse. It was finally confirmed that the girl was pregnant. She’d long ago been taught that the only proper thing to do in this situation was to marry the father. She ran to her boyfriend, telling him of her plans. He was horrified by the idea and declared that he never wanted to see her again.
Remy returned home as soon as possible to tell her parents of the situation. They were gravely disappointed and, though they allowed her to stay with them throughout her pregnancy, they refused to allow her to see anyone they knew. Her pregnancy must not be known. When the child, a daughter, was finally born, they publicly announced that they’d had another daughter. Their family knows the truth, but they pretend Tasha is Remy’s sister as often as possible.
Determined that wasting her life on the care of a child was unsuitable, the Carters relinquished Tasha to the care of the same nanny that raised Remy. They then sent their daughter to Forevermore Academy. She worked hard to impress the headmaster and headmistress there, determined to prove that she was not a complete screw up. Last year, Remy was asked to join the execution squad. She, of course, knew plenty about the games, but the idea of becoming a part of the squad had never crossed her mind. Still, she was terribly afraid to turn down the offer. She agreed to take the position and now works with the headmaster and other students to ensure the games continue as they ought to.
