okay so so, so far i've got that she was an only child to single mom, who committed suicide when she was young and it sort of jump started a fascination with death, the mind, etc. she went to live with an aunt and uncle but never felt she fit in and was troubled in school so she went to a boarding school for "troubled" kids. i like the idea that she's a bit socially awkward because of her fascination with the mind, she's a phd psych student. i became hooked on the idea of an already troubled girl grappling with her "loss of sanity" with the shifts and stuff? (sorry its a bit of a c/p mess lol)
