From a cartwheel to a standing tuck, Lux St. James was born to be a star-- or at least that's what her parents told her. She was the first born in the family and the one that was to be their shining star. Starting at two, Lux was in gymnastics from morning until night. And while she loved it (and she really, really did), she's pretty sure that her parents loved her winning more. And Lux won a lot, but the more she won, the harder it was to appease the pressure coming from her coaches, her family, and herself. The first Olympics she arrived at, she ended up coming home with a medal-- and the next time, she was expected to come home with them all. In the last hour, Lux overheard her coaches talking about her. The words repeated over and over as she stepped into center stage, before she lost her grasp with reality. Lux humiliated herself-- leaving the floor in front of the whole world. She couldn't do it. She couldn't perform in front of everyone and she couldn't live up to everyone's expectations for her. So she ran from it all, returning to the gym where it all began, coaching the kids of the future, treating them how she had always wanted to be treated. But the ghosts of the past have a way of haunting her mind every time she walks on the floor.

AGE: Twenty-seven; August 28th, 1996
OCCUPATION: Gymnastics Coach
Since she retired from gymnastics, she has been coaching at Kiawah Island's gymnastics gym. While she loves her job, there's always some hint of sadness when she has to repeat the same stories to her athletes-- the story of her own failure-- and why they will always do better than she did.

LIVING CONDITIONS: She moved out from her family's home in the nicer part of town to a downtown apartment that feels a little less restrictive, especially as she nears 30. She's proud of her modest apartment with lots of light and plants in the windows.
RELATIONSHIPS
PARENTS: Jameson and Kyla St. James
Lux and her parents struggle to hold a good relationship together. Her parents put a lot of pressure on her to succeed in gymnastics and didn't defend her when her coaches would work her to the edge. They didn't dispute the insults either; 'inconsistent', 'hard to work with', and 'overly emotional' still ring through her head. She still participates in family dinners and time together, although she feels like she can finally breathe while not under their roof. Lux has not ever really confronted them for their participation in her demise as a gymnast but they certainly don't let her forget it.

SPEAKING: Lux is often told she sounds like she has had too much coffee- she talks quickly and forgets to breathe fairly consistently while talking. Her voice has soft notes but has been frequently firm, but rarely raised.
STYLE: You'll often see Lux in gym clothes-- a sports bra and biker shorts, a t-shirt and leggings, a tank top, and sweatpants. You'll rarely see her in jeans, even in her spare time because she never can find any that fit her correctly. So she tends to wear dresses and sneakers when she's not in gym clothes.
FACE CLAIM: Kiana Madeira

“and that was the thing about her, she kept on surviving. with bullet holes in her lungs, and knife marks etched in her back. she never let anything get in her way, resilient. a fighter, not by choice. but a warrior at heart.”
