Personality: Nona is a warm and fun loving person but she has trouble letting people get close enough to completely see it. She keeps a kind of wall around herself in hopes of not getting hurt like she has many times before. Her biggest way to do this is to be brutally honest with either facts or stating her opinion in a not so nice way. Her temper is fiery and she isn't afraid to stand up when the odds are against her if it is what she believes in. She is straight forward and likes people who won't sugar coat things because she wouldn't since to her it is as bad as a lie. Once you have gained her trust and friendship, she would do anything and everything to protect them even if it is a risk to herself. It may seem like she is being selfless but that is hardly it as she fears the loss of of the ones she cares for and couldn't stand the thought that she could have saved them in some way.
If you really want to see Nona light up or understand exactly what she is feeling at any given time, than all you need to do is listen to her play her violin and all will be clear. Nona feels her most comfortable and confident when she is up on stage or in the street, music flowing freely and her hand on the strings. She believes that people are people and unfortunately, do to her past she doesn't really believe in the goodness in people often. In her opinion, someone always wants something from another. Music, music and nature you can trust. You throw people into the mix of life and it just goes crazy. Sometimes it is better to be alone but at the same time she doesn't wish to be alone. Ever complicated she is.
History: Nona has no clue who her birth mother or father is and she will probably never know. She was born in Los Angeles and was given up the day of her birth, handed over to an orphanage as soon as she possibly could so an adoption process could start. The little girl was put up for adoption, set for a family that had been waiting for a long time. They gave her the name Nona, happy to finally be grace with a child but not everything goes to plan. In the final stages of adoption, the couple found out they were pregnant. The agency because of this denied them the adoption do to the fact that they were worried Nona would not be treated equal or be a strain on the couple which meant Nona was stuck in the system for many more years. It wasn't until the age of five that Nona got to have an actual family of her own. Alison and Micheal Wembley were a sweet couple, everything seeming to be perfect but there are many things that a child doesn't think about or see coming. The way her parents acted towards each other like roommates, each going threw the motions or putting on a show and the way they got upset with her for things she didn't understand or seemed silly to scold a child for. It was expressed in the way they wanted her to learn or do certain things like playing the piano that were just harsh. It was like they wanted her to be exactly the way they wanted but they were so loving in many ways so she looked past it all.
The older she became the more distant her parents became with her, especially when she was trying to show her own individuality and the more they fought among themselves. It was just little verbal fights at first but as the years progressed, the fighting got steadily worse. When she hit eleven years old, Nona awoke to have her whole world shattered. The yelling scared her from sleep but she wanted to know what was going on so Nona slowly crept from her room, quietly moving down the stairs and each step from her bare feet bringing her closer to the noise. At the sound of a shatter, she sprinted into action and rushed into the kitchen to find her father in a rage while her mother was just as mad, each throwing slander at each other. Things were being tossed about, Nona ignored and unnoticed until a plate shattered above her head making her cry out in fear as the pieces fell all around her. Her mother noticed her presence first, her face trying to calm and a weak smile appearing on her face as they all stood together in a ruined mess of a kitchen.
Her father ordered her to go back to bed, not being able to stand seeing her right now as the fight was too close to home while looking at Nona. Nona wanted to know what was going on though which was the last straw as her father moved towards her but her mother blocked the way, starting up the fight again as he grabbed her roughly. Nothing made sense to her... other than seeing the fight become physical as they started to take blows at each other and she knew this couldn't go on. She stepped in, trying to stop them only to be thrown into the glass covered floor. In pain was intense, her injuries oblivious as the two moved from the kitchen as her mother ran. She pushed up from the ground, pieces stabbing into her back roughly but she ignored it as she went after her parents as the fight spilled out onto the lawn. The noise alerting the neighbors which in turn caused the cops to show up and the picture wasn't good or pretty. Nona was taken to the hospital and separated from her parents, her parents obviously not fit to be guardians in the governments eyes or anyone else. She was now alone, back in the system and figuring out the signs that had been there all those years. She had been nothing more than a replacement for a lost daughter. A patch on an already ended marriage that was being pushed to the brink. The closer she had gotten to the age of their real daughter, the more the past came into light and they blamed each other. It made her see that love was a lie. It was something pretty that people told to each other to get what they really wanted. Everyone wants something from someone else. After that Nona was know as a runner, trying to get away from every home she was sent to or causing as much trouble as possible so they would send her away. When she turned to stealing, the cops felt sorry for her and gave warnings since she was young but as she grew in years, they felt less sorry for her. Luckily, she got good enough at stealing that she could rob someone blind and they wouldn't feel a thing.
It helped her get along on her own for at least a year or two, using magic tricks and other skills such as nibble fingers or lock picking. She knew she just needed to make it until she was old enough to get a job or to not have to run anymore. Unfortunately, you can only run so far before you are found. She had wanted schooling again, it had been a mistake because she had been found quickly after that. Nona told herself that she could live her life soon and instead through everything into studies, getting good grades, skipping grades and moving from piano to violin. She flourished with the violin at her finger tips and was even good enough to catch the eye of those at Juilliard at one point when she sent in an application on whim. She hadn't been ready for it though and regrets never taking her audition but she never gave up on music. Nona took a job as a bartender in a club that she loved and still did street preforming for fun. She had been on her way for a much needed vacation, thinking of doing some backpacking in Australia since walking and nature had always been her thing. This experience gave her a little more nature than she had been hoping for as well as more people than planned for that matter.
