15. How would you describe your childhood in general?
Josephineâs childhood was quite happy. Of course, it wasnât always perfect as it is the case with most families, but her happy memories certainly outweigh the bad ones. Oliver, her older brother, was a wild child, always encouraging his younger sister to spread her wings and do the things she wanted to achieve in life while her parents always tried to somehow tame that wild spirit of his, making him target of most of their lectures while Josephine mostly went under the radar. Still, both siblings were thick as thieves and Oliver was part of the reason why her childhood is mostly filled with good memories. It was only when he and their parents died in an accident that her life went to shit and it was in that exact moment Josephine stopped being a child.
16. What is your earliest memory?
Watching The Beauty And The Beast with Oliver as their nightly ritual before bed.
17. How much schooling have you had?
Josephine did all up to Sixth Form College, having graduated in 2011 with quite a remarkable grade that would surprise anyone who would encounter her these days.
18. Did you enjoy school?
Not more than the average child. She likes to sleep in, always did, so school was a struggle at times. Other than that she didnât necessarily mind.
19. Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities?
From many different people. Josephine is incredibly observant, not above admitting when someone has exceeded her in a skill. But neither does she dwell on it and instead strives to improve herself. But whether it be her parents, Oliver, or countless other people in her life ⊠Josephine learned from most of them whether it be a certain ability, an opinion or merely a mistake she doesnât want to repeat herself.
20. While growing up, did you have any role models? If so, describe them.
Her idol was without a doubt Oliver. She looked up to him, strived to be just like him. Even after his death he is the only person she idolizes, despite only realizing now that he had his flaws.Â
21. While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family?
Josephine was incredibly close to her family, whether it be her parents, Oliver, grandparents of her aunt Clara. She was grateful that her family wasnât as dysfunctional as those of some of her friends and knew that her parents had done everything in their power to give their children a mostly carefree childhood. Something that Josephine was very appreciative of. Surely, there were tough times, struggles that are common even in the best families, but when thinking back on the time she had with them, she realizes how lucky she had been to have parents that loved Oli and her unconditionally. Oliver and Clara, however, used to be the people she was closest to, confiding in her aunt during times she felt like her mother didnât understand her and basically sharing every though with her older brother.
22. As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
Josephine wanted to be many things as a child, covering pretty much each and every occupation that is there. Back then she was driven by curiosity and eagerness to learn, something that doesnât quite fit the young woman today anymore. Not due lack of wanting but the fact of feeling completely lost and out of place.
23. As a child, what were your favorite activities?
Following after Oliver pretty much anywhere he went.
24. As a child, what kinds of personality traits did you display?
Josephine used to be quite cheerful, a girl whose smile could brighten pretty much anyoneâs day. She was carefree and curious, with a distinct sense for exploring and a mischievous innocence that promised (mostly) harmless trouble.
25. As a child, were you popular? Who were your friends, and what were they like?
Popular would be an overstatement, but she got along with most people even though she wouldnât call them friends. Her closest friends were ââand still areââ Armani and (Jeremy) whom she both met during her first day in primary school. They had been inseparable ever since ââdespite their difference in ageââ and probably caused more trouble than their parents would have liked. It only fell apart when Josie left one day after the accident had happened. Thankfully, Armani found her.
26. When and with whom was your first kiss?
Armani. They were still in primary school back then and totally grossed out afterwards, pinky promising that it would never happen again. He swears to this day that it was for this moment he turned to boys.
27. Are you a virgin? If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity?
Not a virgin, genius. She lost her virginity at the age of fifteen to her first boyfriend, Milo.Â
28. Describe the sort of person you tend to find yourself attracted to.
Brennan. There is nothing else to say, really. For the longest time she was only attracted to people for the thrill of getting caught, to piss the House off, declare her freedom and get herself into trouble. Her relationship with Brennan started on the same grounds before evolving into something more. He is the kind of person she is attracted to.
