Character Biography

Georgia "Gorgeous" MacGeorge grew up in an artistic family. She and her single mother lived in a converted schoolhouse for her childhood and teenage years. She attended private school on a scholarship from the time she was in the 6th grade. She was always brilliant and quite charming, some called her a sociopath.

Around this time, Georgia's mother was diagnosed with cancer. Though her mother is still living to this day, and also fighting the sickness hard- Georgia vowed to use her intelligence to help her mother and others like her.

Due to the strange and misleading grading system of her private high school, Georgia was unable to get an academic scholarship to a university, and could not afford to attend college any other way. However, a childhood acquaintance of hers, Victoria, did not have this problem. From that moment on Georgia despised Victoria.

Using her extreme intelligence and Independence, Georgia began studying on her own. She became extremely involved in Spirituality, Alternative healing, and religion. She quickly realized however, her knowledge would never be respected without an accompanying degree. She therefore deemed herself an "expert" on all subjects.

After tiring of home research, Georgia took to hands on research. She visited Native American reservations, churches of different religious denominations, universities and temples before deciding the ideas of the Great Spirit were her favorite, and the most interesting.

Soon, Georgia got back on track with her goal in mind-helping her mother beat cancer. She met Mac Two shortly after moving back in with her mother and the couple hit it off. Not only was Mac sensitive to Georgia's goals and dreams (even though he might not agree with them) but he was also in a position to influence a large group of animal lovers to over-look the research Georgia was hoping would cure he mother.

Game Playing
