[/font][/b][/ul]Genevieve Stärke is the elder twin of Macht Stärke, having been born but twelve minutes before him. The second of four children, she had but one older sister, Adelheid Stärke, and two younger brothers - one of which she never really knew - Macht and Marko Stärke. They weren't a very tight-knit family, even for one that was together for a mere five years, as both parents were consistently out of the house. Rudolf Stärke, the father, was a mysterious man, whose occupation was unknown to both wife and children, where Muriel, the mother, was a nurse who spent most of her hours at the hospital. With absent parents, this left young Adelheid, who was only six years older than Genevieve and Macht, to tend for her younger siblings. Because of this, while the children were not entirely attached to their parents, they grew to have a very strong bond with each other and became practically inseparable.

When Genevieve was five, it was discovered that her mother had developed a severe heart disease as well as lung cancer. She was bed-ridden and admitted to the hospital rather quickly, where she would end up staying for years to come, being attended to by her former coworkers. Their father was nowhere to be found, in spite of the grim news - in fact, upon its discovery, he seemed to have vanished entirely, leaving the children without any reliable parental figures in their lives. It didn't take long for CPS to step in and send them into foster care. Their mother was sick, and not only was their father now absent, they couldn't even be there for their mother due to the influence of the state.

Placed into an orphanage, the four Stärke children had to fend for themselves. With Adelheid at a young twelve-years old, she was the oldest of the children and as such played the role of their protector. While she could, she protected her younger siblings from the cruel treatment of the other children, though this, unfortunately, only lasted a short while. Within the first couple of months, Adelheid was adopted by a family who wanted only her, and none of the other Stärkes. The Staff of the orphanage signed her away, leaving young Genevieve, Macht, and Marko defenseless.

Within the first month of Adelheid's leave, the bullying the siblings faced increased dramatically. Their food was taken from them by the other children, their blankets stolen each night. Macht was struck with a terrible illness that left him frail, and with Genevieve consistently worrying over his health she was never adequately able to defend what little they had. It didn't take long at all for the place to slowly eat away at them, robbing them of their dignity as people despite being so young. At age six, Macht decided he'd had enough, that the Stärkes were worth more than how they were being treated. He fought to protect his family's portions, their blankets, their clothes, only he chose to do this at a time without Genevieve at his side, and it resulted in a wound that would never leave him. One of the other children - a boy named Blake Newhouses - got his friends to pin Macht to the floor, where he proceeded to tear out the boy's right eye with a fork at lunchtime.

Needless to say, the previous events angered Genevieve, and so she actively sought out those who caused permanent harm to her younger brother. She waited until everyone was asleep, and crept throughout the orphanage with the very same fork Blake used to stab her brother in her hand. Sneaking into the rooms of those who harmed him, she stole them from their beds as they slept and proceeded to rip into their ribs and chests with the silver piercer, a year of anger and confusion vented in this one night as an act of revenge.

Six children were severely injured, not counting her brother, before she was stopped.

Because of her actions, Genevieve caused the remaining three Stärkes to be separated during the rest of their time at the orphanage. Marko was kept with the staff, Macht was kept under a close eye, and Genevieve was thrown into a sort of "isolation" where she would never be able to come into contact with the other children for as long as she was there. This was a painful time for her, as she was unable to see her brothers who were all she had left in the world, but luckily - or so she initially thought - it wouldn't last too long.

After about a week passed since the attack, another family came into the picture, entering the orphanage and going off about wanting young children. Their eyes were eventually set upon Genevieve, and the staff pushed her to them in their burning desire to see her removed from their facility. Genevieve tried to convince the family to take her brothers as well, but once they saw one was but a babe, they decided against it. Without much of a say in the matter, the young girl was taken from the family she tried so hard to protect.
