“Do you remember when you were a child, whether you were good or bad at painting?

__

_Of course, when I was 8, I wasn’t as great as the prodigy who _actually painted the Mona Lisa.

__

_Yes, you heard that right. _

__

Leonardo da Vinci, in fact, did not paint our famous portrait. Rather, it was an 8-year-old prodigy, just trying to make a name for herself.

__

Her name was Vannea Poverelli. She was close to the real Mona Lisa, the person behind the portrait. Mona Lisa, when seeing her portrait, had refused to believe this 8 year old painted it.

__

It was just too good.

__

_When she reported it to her dear friend Leonardo da Vinci, he was repulsed by the 8 year old, for unnameable reasons. Obviously he had wondered, _How did such a child become better than I? **** ****

What seemed to be innocent, a man of great skill ‘mentoring’ a prodigy, turned out to be so much worse. Days after this prodigy began her journey of learning, she had been found with no pulse and a rather large bruise on the back of her head. Da Vinci was, surprisingly, not a suspect, even as he stole her precious painting.

__

_Historians, specifically a descendant of _Mr. da Vinci, have found a journal of these events. After scanning several of his signatures, they can conclude this journal was indeed written by our famous artist. To quote Leonardo, ‘Framing a little girl’s death may seem to be rather difficult or shameful, but when you consider my career, no shame should be taken.’

__

So someone you looked up to, might be even worse than you thought.

This is Ainsley Decoralatchi, making it known that not all who are famous deserve to be.”

(this was so freaking fun to write for no reason at all. I might write more reports by this Decoralatchi lady. also, none of this is true.)
