Character Storyline:
Annalee was born into a very loving small immigrant familia in Tennessee. Her father was a simple salesman from Trieste and her mother was the beautiful daughter of C. Giffone Stonzo the Don of the Stronzo family. Don Giffone did not approve of his daughter’s love for such a common man and forbid their being together. In defiance of her father’s orders Annalee’s mother married her simple man and they escaped to the states. Settling down in TN they soon became pregnant.
Annalee was born in late November under a snowy sky and two years down the road she had a little brother. Together the family fought to put food on the table. Papa worked across the county doing odd jobs and mama taught the local children to read, write and work with numbers. As Annalee grew she began working at a local horse farm owned by an old Cherokee man and his family. The family taught her all they could about many of the Native American ways from horses and branding to plants and their usage.
Coming home one night in her 16th year Annalee found a sight she would never forget. The front door of the 3 bedroom home was broken to shreds. Rushing in Annalee saw her mama seated in her favorite rocking chair, blood soaking the front of her dress from the slit on her neck. Turning to her right she found her Papa draped across his small desk, his pistol on the floor beneath his limp arm. Continuing her look around the small home Annalee heard a struggling cry. Knowing immediately where the sound came from she rushed to her brother’s room. Reaching his bed she found him bleeding from at least 3 gunshots to his chest. Seeing he was struggling to breath she leaned down to speak with him and heard him whisper with his last breath, “Stronzo.”
Knowing who did this to her familia, Annalee vowed to seek revenge. Using her knowledge from her mama and papa along with all she learned from the Cherokee family Annalee traveled the world in search of the men who did this. Disguised as a teacher wherever she went Annalee was able to get close to her targets working as a teacher during the day and at night working with a mix of local plants she killed Don Giffone’s men leaving only the small brand of an open scroll. Finding all of the Don’s men was easy but getting to the Don himself would be more difficult.
With the sudden death of the local teacher Annalee was hired. Quickly and quietly Annalee worked her way into the hearts of all her students. After doing some homework of her own Annalee began to work her way into the hearts of the Don’s family. Dating Charles Giffone, the Don’s youngest son, was the only way in. Ignoring her disgust Annalee wooed the man and they soon became engaged. In celebration of the engagement Annalee was eagerly welcomed into the Don’s home and a family get together was planned. Annalee took this opportunity and baked a beautiful cake for the occasion including her special ingredient of Jasmine and Mistletoe Berries. At the celebration everyone was having a great time, but by 9 pm the party was an absolute morgue and Annalee was back in her small apt by the school.
Playing the grieving bride-to-be Annalee tied up all the loose ends and headed back to the states. Seeking the love and acceptance of a close family Annalee wandered the states.

She started off a little cliche; a mix between batman's Poison Ivy, and the mafia.
But her back ground made up for it a little; I am curious as to why these 'godfather' type men came and murdered her family. It was an interesting portrayal of a character, and does draw the reader in.
Thank you for entering my contest! -

Thanks so much. I enjoyed writing this.
It was originally a base for a role play contest on another site I play around on but I decided to add more to it then what they had asked for. I am still trying to figure out the exact story line to continue this.
