Backstory: since her birth, her parents were very neglecftul of her needs. Her mother fell into severe post-partum depression which prevented her from being able to appropriately care for a baby and her father hadnt wanted a child at all and made very little effort to help with her. Growing up, all her physical needs were met but coming from a poor background with no siblings, she suffered severe emotional neglect. This caused her to seek attention from adults any other way she could.

In preschool, she was very imaginative and loved playing with the other children but often clung to her favourite teacher during downtime as she was often one ofthe first to arrive and last to leave. It was in preschool that she met her childhood and lifelong friend Harvey, who she would come to have a strong sibling-like realtionship with. Her coping mechanism stayed fairly stable throughout her childhood where she would process and outlet her troubles through creativity and play, this meant the other children found her very easy to make friends with.

However as she moved up into her teenage years, her attitude began to change. She realised that none of her classmates wanted to play pretend anymore or play with toys the way she had grown attached to and struggled to adapt to the change. To cope with this, she turned her attention and creative coping mechanisms into art and quickly became the art kid of her class and grew closer to Harvey as he was a stable rock she knew she could lean on. During this struggle, she also learned that behaving well gets you largely ignored by the teachers so she began to act out. She became very snappy, confrontational and impulsive toward everyone. She was a fairly popular teen thanks to her looks and was very quickly exposed to behaviour far too mature for her age. Due to her proclivity for making friends with older students, she became close with a 16 year old boy who was helping her with school work. Their "study sessions" quickly turned from school library visits to a few hours at his house several times a week. He had spent the year or so that he knew her manipulating her and grooming her into having sex shortly after her 13th birthday. She thought she was incredibly mature and beautiful to be attracting the older boys and was too young to properly understand what was happening. Her parents rarely asked where she was when she came home late or left the house, as long as she clean, fed and watered they left her to herself so they didn't notice any of the signs of her situation. Harvey seemed unsure of this boy from the beginning but Ira was far too stubborn and blinded to listen. He only stopped seeing her as he had to go to college and his parents refused to let her come over any more - unknown to her whether they had caught him or not.

Around this time, her mental health took a very serious turn and she began self-harming to cope. She suffered a young love breakup with her first girlfriend at 14. Another dodgy relationship started when she was 15 and crossed paths with an 18 year old boy who frequented the park she would go to instead of going home. He got her addicted to smoking and again used their meet ups as a way to groom her into a secret and sexual relationship (often in dodgy places as neither wanted to go to their homes). Very messy breakup when his friends found out and reported him to the police. This caused her to make her first attempt on her life by overdose but her mother realised what she'd done and rushed her to hospital.

Went through a series of short term sexual relationships from the ages of 16-18 and had adapted a hyper sexual lifestyle and slept around as a coping mechanism. She began lots of sexual exploration during this time. When she was in college she began dying her hair black and made a second attempt on her life as her mental health deteriorated even further without a stable relationship to latch onto. In college, she met two of her closest friends June and Finn. June was part of her art class and Finn was a gregarious and flamboyant boy that introduced himself to them as a ruse to hit on Harvey - which he abandoned after realising he was straight but had already become close with the group. When moving to Uni, she quit smoking and switched to vaping in order to save money and managed to reduce the amount of nicotine in her system in doing so. Uni was where she met Raegan, a fashion design student that was introduced to the group by June as they had an overlapping class. All 5 went to the same uni as they all took similar courses.
