History:
Gabriella Schwartz was born on a boarder town between California and Mexico. She grew up with both of her parents, and 2 siblings. She was always very close with her brother and sister, to which she she was the youngest in the family. They lived in a very small, two bedroom house for many years, the girls sharing with their brother in the living room and their parents in the back room.
Gabriella spent much of her childhood outdoors, because there was very little room in the house she shared with her family, it was not that she didn't like the house or was not grateful of what she had, because she was. She was very dedicated to her studies however, she met Ben Maxwell, a witch (unknown to her) in her Junior year. The two fell in love and of course slept together when in love. Soon Gabriella found out that one of those passionate nights the youths spent together had resulted in her becoming pregnant. Afraid of telling her mother and father, she told her sister and brother first. The three went, together with Ben and told the parents of the two children. Surprisingly for Gabriella her parents where supportive, however once she had the little girl, they became possessive and controlling over her and her daughter. Gabriella and her now fiancé, Ben, soon moved into a small studio apartment in the town they lived near. Gabriella also found out about magic and the magical community because her boyfriend was a witch. It all became too much so Gabriella went out for a walk with Isabella, knowing now her child was half witch. This helped clear her head and soon became a ritual she'd do every Tuesday evening. When she was 21, Gaby and Isabella went out for their walk however when she was out there was a break in in their apartment and Ben, trying to defend himself from the robbers was killed, by non magical means. Gaby was devastated.
Trying to get passed the horror of everything, Gaby moved herself and Isabella to San Diego to live there and she worked hard, even earning herself a scholarship to the University of Southern California. She was introduced to a lot of new things down there, including more magic. Gabriella found out about the other species there was and what help her daughter could get through whitelighters and even magic school.
After she graduated from USC, she started to look for jobs. She hadn't originally intended to go into teaching... but the day she received a very peculiar letter from the Magic School changed her life. It also meant she could start to help Isabella in her powers and even enrol her daughter. She responded immediately, and left the mortal world, with her daughter to start their life again. She goes back and stays with family in the summer - but they all think she just works at a boarding school as she never told them about Ben and his powers.
Gabriella and her daughter share a close bond between them. They are mother and daughter and they are friends. She loves the fact she and her daughter can share their thoughts freely and usually fight like sisters, even if Isabella does tend to forget they are mother and daughter...
