THIS THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF
HERMIONE PRESTON also known as CAMEO [/color][/font]
Hermione Elaine Preston was born in Scottsdale, Arizona to John and Marie Preston on November sixteenth, 1883. As the second oldest of seven kids, Hermione was relied upon to help take care of the little ones as well as help out with the family business. John Preston owned one of the minor newspapers in Scottsdale and as soon as the children were old enough, they joined in, each one finding their own niche.
Though they were not by any means wealthy, the Prestons lived a very comfortable lifestyle. All the children pitched in when they weren’t in school and were taught to see work as a blessing, an opportunity for them to excel in something and express themselves. Hermione particularly enjoyed editing and arranging each edition, quickly becoming a huge help to her father.
Years ago David Preston, her grandfather, had fought in the civil war alongside Joseph Pulitzer, the two of them sharing a love for the printed word, and ended up saving his life. The young Joseph promised her grandfather that if he ever needed anything that he would do everything in his power to make it happen. David had never called in the favor, though the two of them did keep in contact years after the war ended.
A few months ago Hermione and her oldest brother, Horatio, received invitations from Joseph Pulitzer himself to come work at his newspaper, the New York World. Ecstatic and extremely baffled, they questioned their family about it only to find that their grandfather had finally called in the favor. He believed them to have the skills necessary to make it in New York and Mr. Pulitzer agreed. Hermione now shares an apartment with her brother and the two of them are enjoying city life immensely. They happily spend their days at the NY World, learning, observing, editing, and assisting.
Her siblings are: Horatio (19), Orlando (16), Cressida (13), Beatrice (10), Petruicho (9), and Claudio (7).
