==Plot Background==

'''Gemma''' (username Gemmers19) is a friend of [[Bree]]'s from when she lived in Nottinghamshire. Bree was particularly good friends with Gemma's dog, as revealed in [[Mysteries of My Past... REVEALED!]]. Since Bree was 12 at the time, and Gemma 15, it is not surprising that they would not be in the same peer group.

Gemma said that her parents are members of [[Bree's religion]] and this forced her to move to [[Gemma's flat|London]].

Gemma's mother and [[Bree's mother]] met in college, after Bree's mother became angry in a discussion revolving around the philosopher [[David Hume]]. She also taught Bree a game called [[Nut Kills Man]], a fictional variation on "Rock, Paper, Scissors."

Gemma has made [[:Category:Gemma's blogs|several videos]] talking about her life in London. Fans speculate that Gemma's monologues about her life in London are [[Double talk|coded]] commentary/advice for [[Bree|Bree's]] situation. She has given Bree advice about her situation toward the religion. Gemma has said it's hard for her to live away from the community.

In [[Learning Egyptian]], Gemma claims that [[Bree's religion]] is not a [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/lgpedia/index.php/Thelema Thelemic religion] at all but a [[Secret Society]] called [[The Order]].

The videos supposedly show [[Gemma's flat]].

==Revelations of Order Involvement==
In a series of videos released as part of the [[OpAphid]] [[Alternate Reality Game]] it was revealed that Gemma was interacting with [[Lucy]] and therefore is likely affiliated with [[The Order]]. In the video [[Tough Cookie]] this footage is shown again and [[Jonas]] seems to confirm that it is real.

If Gemma was working with the order all along, it is likely that her advice for Bree to go home was a trap. However, it has been speculated that at some point between Gemma's "Scared to go Home" video and her next video, The Order somehow got to her and forced her to do their bidding. This is because many people noted a sudden change in Gemma after the live chat.

==Etymology==

The English name ''Gemma'' comes from the Italian name Gemma, which derives from Latin ''gemma'', meaning "jewel."

Gemma is also one of two names for the star Alpha Coronae Borealis (also known as Alphecca). Its name Gemma derives from the star's central placement in the constellation Corona Borealis (the Northern Crown). This connection raises possible links to [[Bree|Bree's]] fascination with astronomy and to the connections between [[Bree's religion]] and astrology (see [[Denderah]]).

In [[Learning Egyptian]], [[Gemmers19]] claims that [[Bree's religion" is not a religion at all but a [[Secret Society]].

According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Order_%28group%29 Wikipedia]: "The Order (also called the Silent Brotherhood and Aryan Resistance Movement) was a neo-Nazi organization active in the United States between 1983 and 1984. The Order described themselves as a “white nationalist revolutionary group”‘." It is not yet clear if this is same group as that referred to in the LG15 storyline.

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Order_%28Deus_Ex%29 Wikipedia] also talks about [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Order_%28Deus_Ex%29 Order (Deus Ex)] which is "a fictional transdenominational religious group set in the computer and video game Deus Ex: Invisible War."

Other possible meanings would be [[Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn]] or [[Ordo Templi Orientis]] which have associations with [[Aleister Crowley]] and hence [[thelema]]
