Early History
Vanessa Gastineau was born in the states: Santa Barbara, California, to a lawyer and C list actress. The second oldest of eventually four children, Vanessa always found herself in front of the camera. She would be signing, dancing, posing for pictures, and dressing up her dolls since the raw age of four. According to her parents, ‘Vanessa always had energy for anything that involved the camera’. She would often sneak into pictures to get a shot and crave the attention of a crowd, even if the day wasn’t about her. There would even be days where she would raid her mother’s closet and play dress-up, pretending like she was walking across the runway. When she was ten, a modeling talent came to her home town in search of new young models for magazine covers to sell young children’s clothing. After talking her parents into convincing her to try out for the agency, she got the job along with five other young kids. Her very first magazine shot was for an old gap clothing line. From there, Vanessa found her nitch and continued modeling for that agency until her teenage years when she began to get more serious.
By the time she was seventeen, her mother had retired from the actress gig and her father was holding up the house hold. This was also the time where her parents had begun to clash and fight all the time. Often at times where the arguments were so bad that she couldn’t leave her room, Vanessa would sit and sketch people wearing different types of outfits. This continued throughout school until she decided to go to college and get a degree in fashion and advertising. She did this while modeling, doing everything from runways, photo shoots, magazine scans, and simple commercials, bringing in a lot of money. Deciding to get a manager so she could schedule things more accurately, she dropped her long time agency, hired a well known manager and went with a new international agency, landing her photo shoots across Europe and Canada.
When she graduated college with her degree, her and her older sister quickly opened up their own store after making over a hundred different outfits with different material. Quickly, their store began to get noticed and they expanded across the state. More demand met more clothes and ideas. While Vanessa created the concepts, her sister and her team of designers made the clothes and then put them on Vanessa store racks. As she continued to advance her modeling career, she wore her designer labels, selling even more. By the time she was twenty five, she got an offer to photo shoot for Playboy magazine, which in her career field meant big money and big reps. She quickly took it posed, and a few months later, became a playmate. Clothes flew off the racks at alarming speed making demands higher and sells skyrocketing. Suddenly Vanessa began to get more calls in. She would be hounded by the media and published in magazines across the United States, nicknamed playmate of the year for 2004.

During the summer of 2008, she received a call from her other sister, who had relocated in a place called Gaimen City; a place where Princess had never heard of before. Her younger sister was global marketer gone entrepreneur. Hearing the success of Princess, she had decided to try out her luck on a fashion studio in the city. However, it seemed to failing quickly. After Princess had given her baby sister ‘tough love’, her mother talked her into staying with her sister and helping her build up her business, citing that it would do her some good to do onto others; this way, by helping another person. To Princess, it seemed to be a way to sabotage her global media standings and suck all the spotlight and success from her.
To Princess though, it seemed like this city her sister was living in didn’t have enough celebrities in it. By doing some good, it might even help her career a little more so people didn’t label her ‘The Bitch’. Packing her bags, giving her manger a task list, and convincing her posse to follow along to document her achievements in this city, Princess headed off with every intention of rocking Gaimen City to its core and showing them a ‘real’ Diva marked Princess.
