Personal History

Jessica Sanders grew up in the small town of Midnight, a place shrouded in mystery and dark tales. From a young age, she was drawn to the strange and supernatural, finding comfort in books about ghosts, witches, and otherworldly creatures. Her fascination with the occult only grew as she got older, and she became known among her peers as the goth girl who had an uncanny knowledge of all things spooky. Her family had a long and secretive history in Midnight, but they preferred to keep their past hidden from the prying eyes of the townsfolk. Jessica's parents, while supportive of her interests, worried about her growing obsession with the supernatural. They hoped she would grow out of it and focus on more practical matters, but Jessica's curiosity only deepened with time.
As she reached her teenage years, Jessica's quest for understanding the unknown intensified. She spent countless hours at the local library, scouring its dusty shelves for hidden tomes and ancient manuscripts. In her pursuit of forbidden knowledge, she stumbled upon references to old rituals and forgotten legends, tales that whispered of dark secrets lurking beneath the surface of Midnight. Jessica's strange behavior and solitary interests made it difficult for her to connect with others her age. She found solace in the company of older and eccentric individuals who shared her passion for the occult. Some townspeople spoke of her in hushed tones, calling her a "witch" or "strange girl," further isolating her from the already tight-knit community Despite the judgment and isolation, Jessica remained undeterred in her quest. She believed that unlocking the town's mysteries could lead to answers about her family's past and the strange occurrences that plagued Midnight, but as her knowledge deepened, so did the dangers she faced.
