From a very young age, she studied both piano and composition, but was always into writing and reading. During fifth grade, she ran for student body treasurer and gave a speech while in costume. She believes she was dressed as Uncle Sam, but has just tried to erase the memory from her mind. She just remembers wearing a top hat with fake money sticking out of it. She also sent a possible literary agent her diary on accident. When she was younger, her dad read her legends and fairy tales from all over the world and many wound up staying with her into adulthood.
