Fushia


 

This is Fushia. Fushia is one of those people for whom nothing ever seemed to go right. Forced from her parents' home, and unable to complete her education, she was left with no job and no place to stay in the big city. Sadly there are those poised to prey on people like Fushia, and it wasn't long before she found herself bullied into the career of a streetwalker. Fushia looks relatively beautiful, but overtly tarty at the same time. The cruel irony being that under all the makeup, hairspray and jewelry she is actually rather stunning, sadly a side of her that few ever see. Of all the characters found in Accidental Enlightenment, Fushia is the most tragic, but also the one with the most hope, for only once you have truly been at the bottom can you appreciate what it is like to be at the top.
