Before the 1920s
Acetone was first recorded in 1606, Germany. Around 1610-1670 she was very popular among alchemists. Acetone was named “Spirit of Saturn” in this era. She lost her popularity in 18th century and lived as an artist. Nobody was concerned about her until 1830s. Chemists of 19th century were interested in her. In 1830s Acetone had five children (Mesityl Oxide, Mesitylene, Diacetone Alcohol, Phorone, Isophorone). Acetone was named in that times while she lived in France. She lived together with Phenol and had Bisphenol A in the beginning of 1890s. Phenol loved her more than anything but the fact that Acetone never felt anything towards him always scared Phenol. Phenol tried everything to impress her; Phenol made a painting of Acetone to convince her. Later they broke up; Phenol ruined the painting, Acetone gone back to Germany and Bisphenol A lost. Acetone lived a normal life in 1900s and worked in a university. In 1912, she was wanted to work in a university in Britain; Acetone didn’t know English, hence she gave lectures in German. Acetone was happy and had money. However it took time to realise for her when the war broke. Acetone was forced to work in an explosives factory. She lost all contacts to other chemicals or met different chemicals. Every single day of WWI, Acetone asked herself if she would ever live a normal life.

After 1920
2 years after The Great War ended, Acetone decided to open a business. She wanted to work with humans and forget her past. It is unknown why she chose to open a nail salon. In 1936 one of her grandchildren, Methyl Methacrylate, introduced a new glass-like plastic named “Plexiglas”; this material was used in WWI aircrafts and this made Acetone to call out Methyl Methacrylate for her creation being used in war, ironic for someone who worked in a Cordite factory.
