dolariThe Many Lives of Genevieve
17,273 words, 46 pages.
Yet another bio. It's really helping shape the story that's slowly starting to form around these scenes.
Catherine Wilson
Pre-Infection
Catherine Wilson was born in Adelade, Australia in 2243 to Virginia and Brett, of aboriginal descent. A generally bright and cheery child, she lived a somewhat dull suburban lifestyle with her family. She had a keen knowledge of astronomy, and was fond of trips into the Outback to see the stars in the Uluru Dark-Sky Preserve. She suffered from an influenza sickness at 16, where the Genevieve Virus activated. The youngest known activation.
Infection
Expecting a rebellious teenaged daughter, her mother believed her faltering grades and memories were typical teenaged rebellion, and not an actual sickness. For a year or so, her mother pushed hard for her daughter to “grow up and get responsible” before realizing there was a genuine sickness. After a referral to a psychotherapist, he recognized the symptoms and got them in contact with The Genevieve Project.
Being the first Genevieve found since Stephanie McClennan almost a hundred years earlier, she became the third Genevieve found. As she was still in a mid-stage of the Genevieve Syndrome, they kept in close contact besides being half a world away. It was quite rough as her parents felt that Catherine was dying in her eyes, and briefly broke off contact when told there was no cure for the syndrome by the Project.
Catherine resigned herself to her change, and had a very long talk with her parents about her own feelings on the situation. It was her saying that “They weren't losing a daughter, but adopting a new one” that led to them finally turning around. They reconnected with the project, and her mother began preparing for “The New Arrival.” They encouraged Catherine to continue her astronomy while also encouraging Genevieve to share anything “new” with both her and the Project. By 20, she no longer had any memory of being Catherine.
Post-Infection
Genevieve did take up Catherine's love of Astronomy, although with a slightly different attitude. While Catherine was amazed to see Dark Skies in the world of the 2260s, Genevieve was sad that this was one of the few places left with a dark sky. She also was self-conscious of her black skin and hair, more so than her general appearance.
With the discovery of Genoveva, the Genevieve Project found themselves with two Genevieves at once. Deciding this was an opportunity too good to pass up, the Project asked Catherine to move into the complex along side Genoveva for study.
