Often the first to put herself in harm’s way, she has been called ‘feral’ by some and 'fierce’ by others. As someone without much true-world experience, she is constantly going above and beyond to prove herself as a normal person.

+ : Determined, Scrappy, Convivial - : Volatile, Puritanical, Moody

BIOGRAPHY

tw: themes of religious extremism/cult-like worship, emotional abuse, homelessness

Folded hands. Head down. If they saw where you were now, running around a brand-new city making the most of life without the fear of the outside world – it’s a fantasy that keeps Stevie Mackone up in the early hours of morning, a broken record that repeats over and over.

Growing up, they vividly remember the framed photos of religious figures lining every room of her dilapidated childhood home in Utah. How they were dusted daily with intimate worship, before the family retired for the night for their prayer session. See, the Mackone family had a vision. A belief, that their child would one day be some sort of divine entity. Every prayer, however, came unanswered: their child was just a normal kid with normal wants and dreams, hoping to one day see what outside of their commune walls.

When Stevie was considered an initial disappointment, her parents tried many times for a second child, but it was never meant to be. They tried to adopt, thinking they could get lucky with another, but were denied twice. As Stevie grew older, the window started closing: only a few more years for something, anything, to manifest into a sign that they were special.

Until something special did happen. Their mother became pregnant; an unexpected joy for them, but a nightmare for Stevie. They had no use for the child who couldn’t make their dreams come true, so a week before her twenty-fifth birthday, they gave her a gift early: a backpack of clothes, a box of food, and well wishes to survive in another town just as she always wanted – alone.

For years, Stevie spent her time navigating different cities, backpacking and hitch-hiking until she'd eventually end up in Aurora Bay. Mystified by the idea that there could be a second chance outside of those walls, they chose not to waste anymore time: to live life to the utmost, no matter what that looked like.

Currently working as a pizza delivery biker (can't drive!) Stevie thinks every minute of life is freaking awesome -- though there is always a setback or two that creeps up their neck in the middle of the night.
