FAMILY: Reagan(Mother) -- Jackson(absent father figure) -- Rossalyn(grandmother) HISTORY: Lorelai grew up in a traditional southern household, having lived in the south her whole entire life, until she was around fifteen. Her parents were relatively wealthy, her mother owning a very popular bakery, and her father, a successful business man. Nothing was out of the ordinary as she grew up. She was like those little southern belle's you see in movies, in which they live in the beautiful Victorian house with a white picket fence and everything seems just peachy. In reality, that was true, but as she got older, things got a bit complicated. Let's start from how her parents met. Both growing up in Nashville, both of their family's were pretty big in the country music business. Jackson's, Lorelai's father, father, was a country music store owner that contained a small recording studio inside for young musicians just wanting a little nibble of fame. Lorelai's mother's, Reagan, mother was actually quite famous during the late fifties, early sixties and early seventies. Her name was Rossalyn Travis: singer, amazing acoustic finger-picker, and song writer. A triple threat they called her. That was, until she had Reagan. Rossalyn stepped out of the spotlight after Reagan was born, feeling her child needed a normal life and not the crazy glamorous one she had lived since she was the ripe age of seventeen. So, they moved into the suburbs, and began their life as a normal family. Jackson and his father lived the bachelor life in an apartment above the music store&studio, his father being single. The two families didn't cross paths until Rossalyn took Reagan to the small store, just to show her a few of her CDs. Reagan was only seven, as was Jackson. Though they were young, I guess you could call it love at first sight. Rossalyn began recording at the small studio just for kicks, bringing Reagan with her each time so she could play with Jackson. They were harmless best friends at first, but as they neared their teenage years, well, you know how hormones are. (: They were high school sweet hearts, and it seemed just after graduation, Reagan was carrying their first and only child. Lorelai Claire Daelune was born on May third in nineteen ninety-five. The birth was easy, no complications, and the family was out of the hospital after a few days, ready to begin their life. They both had set out to do something in music, however, when they realized how tough the business was these days, they decided to do jobs more stable. Reagan became a teacher, and Jackson went into a well-known corporation, making his way to the top. So, to say the least, The Daelune family was more than well off. As Lorelai got older, her parents began thinking about her future. Should they put her into music and see if she fit in with the crowd? Or, should they remove music from their family line for fear of their baby girl getting her feelings hurt? Unfortunately, they chose the latter, and the girl was thrown into the life of sports at the age of five. She did a lot of softball in her earlier years, but because of how fast she could run from base to base, they moved her into running sports such as soccer, basketball, and track. The girl loved sports. She ate, slept, and breathed sports until around sixth grade. That was when her parents began having issues with their marriage. You know how people sometimes say "Sometimes the fire just fizzles out."? Well, I guess you could say that was what happened to Jackson and Reagan. They never fought. They never screamed or argued. They just, didn't do anything. They hardly ever kissed, sex was nonexistent, and te couple spent a lot of time apart. To try to rekindle their marriage, Lorelai was sent to live with her grandmother for the summer while they sorted things out. I suppose this was the first time Lorelai had ever picked up a guitar, amazed with it's simpleness, yet intrigued by how genius the instrument really was. Of course, she'd seen them, but she had never actually handled one. Her grandmother noticed how amazed she was by it, and decided "Well, what her parents don't know, won't hurt 'em" and began giving her lessons. After just a few weeks, Lorelai had fallen in lve with the art of music, and after the summer had ended, she could already play the simple chords of D, A, E, Em, Am, C, F, and G. Sports had completely left her mind that summer. The problem was, she couldn't tell her parents about her new love. So, when she got back home, she entered back into her normal world of running and playing ball. It was never the same... Lorelai spent a lot of her time at her grandmother's after that. She would take the bus to her house every day after school for another music lesson, sometimes even skipping practice for whatever sport she was in at the time. It was clear that sports no longer mattered to her anymore. She was not aspiring to be on the WNBA or national swim team or whatever sports she played. She was now going to be a country singer. It was final. However, Lorelai's skipping practice got her in trouble with her parents. Coaches were leaving mysterious voicemails asking if everything was going okay at home. Apparently Lorelai had been using their marital problems as an excuse to ditch her extracurriculars. This set her family over the edge, and when they found out what Lotelai's grandmother had been doing, they stopped it immediately. Lorelai was no longer allowed to skip practice to quote "Daydream about nonsense like making it big". Still, Lorelai couldn't help it. At fourteen, she bought her own guitar, and to keep it a secret, kept it at her grandfather's music store, which was now run by a new family, but a friend of ole' Mr. Jack was a friend of theirs, so they allowed it. She would sneak off there after practice to play and record songs, not for anyone, just for her. It was fun, and she enjoyed doing it, but she still wished that she didn't have to hide the fact she didn't want to become a athlete. At fifteen, her parents made the decision to split, and so they got a divorce. Her mother received custody, and Lorelai may see her father every other holiday. After the split, it seemed that God was watching over the poor girl, for her mother had begun to get closer to her own mother. This ended in Lorelai's grandmother convincing them both to move out to San Diego with her to get a fresh start. So, with that, they packed up their things and headed here, just in time for Freshman year. There, she spent the next four years finding herself, throwing sports out the window, and finally sticking to the thing she loved most: Music. Upon Graduation, Lorelai set her sights on Belmont University, a very highly rated school for music, and it just so happened to be back home. Unfortunately, the girl was rejected, and as a last resort, chose Winchester, which was supposed to have an alright music program, and even a few other classes that she wouldn't mind adding to her skills for the future. It was also closer than Tennessee, and her grandma and mother were very happy to know that they could check up on her with just a few hours of driving. It's no Belmont. It's no Nashville. But, Lorelai is sure she can make it her home (: Really |
