Gypsy
Legacy Name: Gypsy

She was born to sing, ever since she could talk she was singing her heart out to anyone who would listen - of course no one much cared to listen when she was younger.. but that would change, some day. She grew up in a happy home with two siblings and two loving parents who doted upon their children. Sonja was the youngest of the three and the only girl to boot so she was ever so slightly spoiled, mommy's baby and daddy's princess. She went through her rotten phase as most girls are prone to do, thankfully she grew out of it.

Dolls and pretty things mingled with her very early interest in music, while she did not seem to be particularly talented in playing instruments she could still hold a tune and when she turned ten her father finally gave in and got her enrolled in singing lessons. The lessons were paying off, every day the young girl was getting better and better, training almost tirelessly until she could perfect her voice. Those first few months weren't exactly easy and the occasional taunting from an older brother almost broke her spirit, but mother and father continued to encourage her.

When she started high school the school choir was an obvious choice of extra curricular activity. She would come to find she didn't much care for the group singing but she stuck it out, every now and then she had her solo, that time in the light where it was only her. Music was a part of who she was, it wasn't unlike her to be humming and singing without thinking, walking between classes, waiting in a line.. There was no question about what she would do for a living, music was going to be her career.

Money for college however.. was another question all together, with two brothers ahead of her already working through their degrees the college funds were running thing. "Don't worry papa.. I'll manage." What difference would a degree make when she'd learned so much over the years.. class wasn't for her anyway, she much preferred learning things from others and not from books. Her first job wasn't a singing job.. it was a waitressing job, something to support her while she tried to get her name out there - attending the occasional talent show or contest, singing in small and unknown clubs just looking for a chance. A year after graduating from high school at the age of nineteen she still continues to waitress, keeping her eyes and ears open for that one big opportunity to introduce herself to the world..
