Born two days after her twin sister, ‘Nemo’
grew into a physical ‘tom-boy’ sort of figure, cropping her dark hair short in
a frequently unkempt page-boy cut, and invariably having dirt-stains and tears
on her school uniform, as a result of her boisterous and adventurous nature.
Her sister regularly insinuated that she hung out with the boys because she was
easy, or that she secretly wanted to be one, but she just likes the active
life, and the fact that it is completely the opposite of her sisters’ sorority
clique-ishness suits Nemo
just fine.
In college, Nemo studied an
eclectic mix of ‘liberal arts’ and trade-school sorts of courses, having
absolutely no idea what she wanted to do with her life, unlike her
‘plan-everything-to-death’ sister. She also had a string of boyfriends, most of
whom couldn’t keep up with her or deal with her extremely casual sense of
relationships, only furthering her sister’s contempt, and further offended Calli’s sense of propriety by wearing cut-off jeans and
other ‘low, common’ clothing, such as tied-off half-shirts or hiking boots.
She was hiking the Appalachian mountain trail the summer Calli encountered the Opaline
entity in
By the time she made it to civilization, her sister had
already been captured and restrained within ‘power-dampening fields’ and it
took all of her mother's political capital pull to allow them to even see her.
Seeing her sister, unkempt and pale and out-of-shape from her ordeal, Nemo was struck at how much this wasn’t her sister, that Calli would have rather died than allow someone to see her
like this, hair a mess, face un-made, clothing disheveled, skin sallow and
hanging loosely from her frame, and she reached out to her sister, only to feel
the supposedly unbreakable glass part like water before their hands and a rush
of soothing coolness pour into her like water filling a glass.
Thrown back, she looked up to see her sister rising into
the air screaming ‘At last! I am free from you!’ and threw her hands up as a
wall of opaline force slammed her to the ground, and
yet somehow passed *through* her body, which now gleamed glossy black like the
night-sky, with a warm golden ‘fire’ twisting and coiling deep within. Prison
officials poured into the room, only to see Nemo
vanish into the shadows, in pursuit of her sister.
The endless battle between the merciless wrath of the sun
and the soothing arms of the night rages yet again, and none can say how it
will end this time.
