For as long as she could remember, Paige had always been known as the good little girl. At home, at school, at church ... it didn't really matter where she was, because everyone in her small Kentucky town seemed to regard her as a sweet little angel.
She had played into it, too, even though she had done it mostly to keep up appearances. She would stay at home to help her mother take care of her brothers and sisters when she would rather be with out her friends because it made her mother so happy. At school, she quickly became the teachers' pet because she always studied so much and tried so hard to get their approval.
The problem was that, at some point, what had once been a means of getting attention had become a way of life. That was the point at which she had decided that she would rather go along with other people's expectations than risk being crushed by their disapproval. She had never realized how exhausting it would be to live for someone else.
Now, finally, she had found somewhere that accepted her, even though she had stopped being miss goody two-shoes. For the first time in her life Paige felt free to live for herself, and she vowed that no one was going to make her go back to being who she had been.
Paige has been accepted to Greenwich Village's NYU Campus to study Natural and Environmental Sciences. Paige has dedicated herself to study and through her studies, constantly strives to improve control of her powers.
Paige is a bit insecure about her accent and often hides it believing that it marks her out as a 'hick'. However, this control often slips when she is angry or feeling particularly at home, something picked up on by a school-mate who nicknamed her 'Hayseed'.
