Basic Information: I am Cheryl Gorham. I am 11 years old. I am a half-blood. I didn't know that I had powers until I accidentally used them at my 10th birthday party. For a whole year, I was thought of as a freak by friends and family members. Now I understand that I am not a freak, but I am just different than other people. My adoptive parents are Mary and Greg Gorham. They are both teachers at my old school. We are from Indiana but we moved to England before my 7th birthday. We aren't rich or anything like that but we are happy just how we are. My actual parents are Christina Moore and Quincy Wessles. They didn't want kids so when I was born they put me and my twin brother Christopher up for adoption. When I and Christopher were 3 years old we got adopted by Mary and Greg. We have 2 adopted sisters from Germany and 1 adopted brother from England. Their names are Maggie, Catherine, and Johnny. Mary and Greg have 1 son of their own but he is away for law school. His name is William. We all are really close and love each other a lot. Me, Chris, Maggie, Catherine, and Johnny were all adopted the same year. We stayed in Indiana for 4 years then moved here. We were all surprised when William was happy to have some adopted siblings. We said that it was like a dream come true for him. William is the oldest, then Catherine, Johnny, me, Chris, and finally Maggie.

My Personality: I am friendly and very creative. I am smart (at least I think so). I am mainly nice to everyone. When I get mad and upset I tend to stay that way for a while. So when I am not in a good mood (which is rarely) I would advise people to let me cool off and calm down. I think a lot and tend to speak what comes to my mind. It isn't always a good thing but people tend to think that it is funny when out of the blue I just say something completely random and off-topic. I am funny (I think) and I love jokes. I always love a good laugh. I smile a lot and some people think that I have something wrong with me. I don't but I just love smiling. I really like making tons of friends. I feel like the more friends that I have the better I can understand people. That's all for now.
