The jewelry and items that she crafts are meant to bring people peace, health, and good fortune. Positive, light magics. Always.

On casual fridays and weekends, Gia wears a very distinct bohemian style like [url=https://i.imgur.com/IhHuqaR.png]this[/url] and [url=https://i.imgur.com/eZtsNBX.png]this[/url]. [/indent][/indent] [indent][color=4E7764][b]| |[u] R E P U T A T I O N [/u]| |[/b][/color] [indent]Gia doesn’t have much of a reputation at the school outside of being a newsie. She keeps her head down and her nose is usually buried in a book, but she’s very friendly if you open up a conversation with her. Dahlia is also a bit of an oddball, and what some school kids might label a misfit. She reads tarot cards, tells fortunes, casts rituals, follows astrology, and studies spells. Like, actual spells. She’s a witch — a Wiccan, if you ask her — which freaks some people out. That said, she doesn’t have a lot of friends, but those that she does have, they have her loyalty, love, and light for life.

In the Rothstein’s world, that’s what world. Dahlia’s family has been a mess from the start, that start being when twenty-three year old rookie criminal, Judah Rothstein, ran straight out of a gang fight and into the arms of a high school dancer, Mia Daniels. Yes, it’s entirely as bad as it sounds, and it never really improved from there. Judah’s young adult bout of cradle robbing was not the first, worst, nor last of his criminal activities. It wasn’t all bad though, as he formed close relationships along the way — most notably, a mentor-like friendship that turned into a career partnership with Ryan Helmsley, the previous CEO of Helmsley Enterprises. And, of course, this lifestyle led him to meet the love of his life, Mia, his dancing queen. Dahlia might roll her eyes at that phrase. It’s hard to buy that Mia is the love of Judah’s life from the way that they treat each other. Doll’s father is grossly unfaithful, and her mother is a bit temperamental, and that combination of traits has bred years upon years of tension and fighting in the Rothstein home. Through all of this turbulence, the pair stayed together, whether it be for their daughter, the money, or because they actually do love each other. That said, their fighting still certainly had an impact on Dahlia. Doll was 10 years old when she rented a book out from the public library that would come to change the world as she knew it. It was an introductory book on Wicca, aimed at a younger audience. As a member of that target audience, it was enough to spark an interest in young Dahlia. Magic promised to help her take some control of her own life, control that she so desperately wanted and needed. [i]An it harm none, do what ye will[/i]. So far, Dahlia hasn’t harmed anyone, and she is definitely doing as she wills. Practicing the craft has given her freedom, and a much-needed escape from her messy reality. One introductory book turned into two, then three, then dozens. Margot Adler, Raymond Buckland, Phyllis Curott, Janet & Stewart Farrar, Dorothy Morrison… Dahlia can’t get enough of reading up on all of the modern neo-pagan works. Gia’s natural curiosity and love of history have helped her to develop and grow as a practicing witch. Folklore, mythology, strange historical events, spiritualism, culture, astrology, tarot — there is so much out there to be studied and explored! The teen actually runs a Tumblr blog on witchcraft to keep track of her studies, and to interact with other like-minded individuals for collaboration and discussion. Dahlia’s hobbies might be weird, but they are hers, and nobody can take them from her. She embraces who she is, even if her classmates do not (with some exceptions, like the Ghost Boy, Dean Piccoli). Dahlia isn’t your typical rich bitch, and she never wants to be. In fact, she prefers when people don’t know the significance of her last name. [/indent][/indent] [indent][color=4E7764][b]| |[u] B E Y O N D M Y R E P U T A T I O N [/u]| |[/b][/color] [indent]You wouldn’t be able to tell by looking at her thrift store-purchased bohemian clothing, or her low tier social status, but Dahlia is among the wealthiest students at Marble Heights. She doesn’t flaunt it, and she certainly doesn’t make a habit of spending her parents’ money — most of what she spends, she has earned herself (with a little start up cash for her home business from mommy and daddy, of course). Another unknown fact about Dahlia is that she is afraid of falling in love. It sounds dramatic, and Dahlia would never admit it out loud, but she is afraid of love. Romance is intriguing, sure, and she loves to guide other people towards finding it in her tarot readings, but for herself? No, it’s terrifying. Love leads to heartbreak, or worse yet, she could end up in a situation like her parents. Dahlia can’t tell if they actually have a loveless marriage, but it certainly doesn’t seem like a happy one all the time. Because of this fear, Gia keeps her crushes hidden under layers of denial.
