Editing The Marchessa of Hope (section)

==History==

Gabriel's history is one of almost fractal tragedy, through which she has seemed to somehow float, unharmed. She has done well at school, never getting the attention of the authorities in any way, and yet around her suicide and accidents seem to collect. Her first grade teacher. The bakery where she bought a coffee and donut every day for an year. Her sister. Her mother. The death of an entire family across town. The strange happenings at the church she went to.

If one were to search through the town's newspapers you would find her in the background of almost every tragic event to take place there during her life. From the baby theft that happened the day she was born. To the arson of the school gym a few weeks ago.

Her father worked at an local insurance company, a good hour away by car. Her mother worked as an veterinarian. There’s more then one tragic story here, but her fathers near constant but ineffective suicides, and her mothers one time but successful one top the charts.
