SUMMARY/BACKSTORY
Bailey was born in a suburban house on the outskirts of a small town somewhere near Briar Valley. Their parents were good a hardworking people, teaching their child all kinds of lessons. And just let their kid run around the yard. What Bailey did was basically play with the bugs or quietly observe the little critters.
Something Bailey wanted more than anything was a baby sibling. A few years later, their baby sister Calliope was born and they were over the moon when they got the chance to hold her, promising they'll be the best big sibling ever. And they tried their best to be, helping with whatever she needed when their parents couldn't. The years passed like that, full of good and bad moments.
But one day that all changes when Calliope suddenly disappeared. The two siblings were alone in the woods. Bailey looked away to just get some berries and when they turned around, she was gone. They called out to her while roaming the forest, but the only reply they got was the chirping of the birds somewhere in the trees. So, they ran to their home to tell their parents. The family looked for her everywhere the child could and couldn't be, even asked around in the small town nearby, but no one knew where she was. But Bailey wasn't one to give up easy. However, it soon came clear Calliope really disappeared which took a toll on their mental and emotional state. They were the older sibling, they were supposed to protect their baby sister and they failed her just like that.
Some time passed and Bailey got an admission letter to Night Raven College, the mage school they wanted to go to. But Bailey didn't feel as excited as they should have. It was good news, yes, but their mental health was at the lowest ever since their sister disappeared. It didn't help that everything in the house reminded them of her. Maybe a change of scenery would help, is what their parents thought, but Bailey knew it wouldn't. They just couldn't get her out of their head no matter what they did.
It hurt too much at this point, but they had to live on, for her sake at least.
Soon enough, the carriage came and they were taken to the prestigious academy. Bailey was assigned to Ramshackle dorm along with some other students. It was a neat dorm. However, it didn't have the best reputation, it seems, as Bailey and their dorm mates were picked on, either because of that or something else. That obviously didn't make it better for Bailey's mental health. It wasn't the whole school against them, thankfully, but that didn't make it a good thing. But the support they got made it somewhat bearable. Still, winter break couldn't come fast enough. They wanted to go home, even if for a short while.
Bailey was now home during winter break and was just standing in the woods late at night, lost deep in thought. But the feeling of something biting them pulled them out of their thoughts. Turns out a venomous spider has bitten them and they could feel their life slowly get drained. So, they decided to lay down. The last thing they could see and hear was the silhouette of a little girl and a familiar voice call out their name before it all faded to black.
You thought that was the end of Bailey? You're mistaken. Because their connection to bugs made them stay on the mortal realm. They were a ghost now. And the child they saw right before their soul left their body? That was their little sister who disappeared long ago and didn't seem to change in age. But appearance and mannerisms? That changed a lot. She even changed her name to Amara. But it was still their little sister and they were happy to have her back. Seeing as life at home wasn't the best and the two decided to go to NRC where the ghost could get their revenge by scaring their bullies a little, thus earning the name Spooky Bugs.
