Her Backstory

I wonder.

I've spent my whole life wondering everything about myself, from my past to my future. Growing up an orphan does that ot a person.

My name is Jane Maria Darling. I'm the daughter of the famous turquoise-eyed dimension-traveler Wendy Darling and her husband Edward. My mother is incredibly famous and talked about a lot, especially in England where I live. I'm not so famous.

Only one person knows my true identity, and that is Damien Salt. He was a member of the Jolly Roger, the ship captained by my mother's rival James Hook. While the crew was searching for her in Neverland, Damien found her and they formed a secret alliance before he let her go. Damien didn't want to live as a pirate anymore, and once Captain Hook had his own son, he freed Damien from his piracy. When my mother gave birth to me, she gave me to Damien, who gave me to an orphanage before he was murdered by Captain Hook for his betrayal. Damien told the orphanage that my name was Jane Maria Day to hide my identity and keep me safe, but one of his loyal friends visited me in secret when I was ten years old and told me the true story.

I have my mother's turquoise-colored eyes, but I'm never compared to her because my father's long wavy dark-brown hair contradicts any resemblance to her.

My mother, besides leaving me with Damien Salt, left him a picture of herself and my father to give to me. In the photo, which I still have to this day, my father is wearing a military uniform, and Damien's friend told me that he fights in the wars. Which means he is currently fighting in World War II.

Although my mother grew up in London, I've lived the past seventeen years of my life in Brighton, England. Brighton is on the South coast of England, and because so many pirates sail into Brighton, they opened up a bar, which I currently work as a waitress at. Five out of seven nights a week, I deal with drunken pirates flirting or yelling at me, but it's the way I earn money.

In a year, when I am officially an adult, I plan to use the money I earn as a waitress to get out of England so I won't be reminded of my family ever again. I know my mother's friends received extreme consequences to get me to where I am, but nobody dealing with my mother has ever found or approached me. On the positive side, if they really wanted to keep me safe, getting out of England and further away from my mother's birthplace is better.

Whatever the reason for why I'm here or why my mother gave me up, my future is set out in front of me, and nothing or no one is going to stop me from leaving England and never coming back.
