Stephanie was born in a middle class family, with two older brothers. The family was your average family, basically normal, with a classic routine. 
Until Stephanie was in her freshman year of high school. Her parents got divorced, and her mother took her brothers with her to where ever. Her father refused to let her talk to her mother and brothers anymore. As for her father, he struggled to manage the two of them, and then he lost is job. In order to keep money flowing in until he got a job, he went to loan sharks, creating debts that he eventually, couldn't pay off. The loan sharks, and her father, had noticed Stephanie growing up-her figure coming in with a beautiful face to compliment it. The load sharks said that the debts would be paid off, as long as her father let them sleep with her. (Or as they put it 'Show her what it's like to be a real woman.) The first few months, she vivdly remembers being flled with crying and screaming, marks all over her body, and feeling sore everywhere.

 

Stephanie, reluctantly, continued paying her father's debts. She eventually got used to it, just being able to lay there and doing what they wanted her to do. After she graduated high school, she knew she wanted to go to a university, but she didn't have the money. So, she asked the loan sharks to pay for it, and she'd continue doing what she was doing. It was a done deal, and she went on, telling the loan sharks to pay for her stuff and she'd continue her end of the bargain. Except, she was still paying her father's debts, that seemed never ending. And after her father had passed away, Stephanie still had to pay them off. It wasn't a big deal to her. 

Her second year in college, she had met someone. A guy she was practically in love with. They were together for a year and a couple months, even when she had gotten pregnant. Both were happy to be parents, until the day she gave birth to their baby, a girl named Lindsay. The father left them in the middle of her giving birth to Lindsay. Upset and pissed off, she stuggled to manage the two. But, she continued to work, deal with the debts, and take care of her baby. 

 

 

Stephanie now lives happy with her daughter (3 years old), working as a wedding planner and a mermaid performer (in the summer). She still continues to pay the debts, but as long as Lindsay doesn't have to pay them, she's okay with it. Linday's dad, however, does pay child support (doesn't have much of a choice) and gets to see her (Lindsay) every Sunday.
