Porcelain Prologue Er, hi. My name is Ebony White. I am fifteen years old and was born in Dufftown in Scotland. I didn't really have a very enjoyable childhood - my mother died giving birth to me, so I don't know much about her at all. All I can do is paint a picture of her in my mind from what Dad used to tell me. He said she was extremely beautiful, but I honestly doubt that I inherited those looks. Now I live here, in Berlin, after moving a couple of years ago with Dad after he lost his job. But as soon as I got here, I wanted to go straight home. Why? Because everyday while he was at work, I would have to put up with his new, self obsessed girlfriend - Helen Grimhilde, who can only be described with one word. Vile. I guess I never realised how vicious she could be until Dad passed away a few months ago, I knew that when Dad was around, she was almost like a seductress, and he was caught in her web. But after he died...everything changed. Everything. I'm not sure where this #life will lead me, but as long as I can survive her wrath - well, that would be...fortunate.
