         Character History-Leona grew up as an only child, which separated her from the world for a long time, but it grew her love for attention and adventure. It took her until her early twenties to realize who she was. She let other people guide her, but once she became a manager for the first time, she had a taste of control and power and she loved it ever since. Her father wasn't very prominent in her life, mostly being taken care of by her mother. Her mother became a strong woman figure in her life and Leona vowed to be like her mother, and also find a way to help her mother. Now that she is CEO of her own company, she helps her mother pay bills since her mother is very sick, and the rest of her family had conditions. She grew up with little and was taught that she could achieve anything if she tried, so she did. Most of the reason she left college was because she kept having emotional breakdowns and not showing up to classes. She was frightened by her classmates, but now they respect her and submit to her company. She tried to kill herself freshman year, but ended up surviving which made everything she gained that much better, but that much harder in college. No one looked at her the same, and after her breakup with Ari, she was too exposed and depressed at the thought of college, so she left to pursue management at her job. Once she became store manager, she went back to school for business (different school) and after her undergraduate years, started creating her company through masters and doctorate years for her thesis and herself. She now lives in Texas with her husband, Gerry, and their two kids, Taylor and Caeden.

         Character History-Was number 6 of 7 children, so he wasn't as cared about growing up. When he was 10, he went to a parade with two of his older brothers who ended up ditching him, and he then was raped by a group of older men with a van. He turned to drugs, and this started his career as a professional liar. He would go to rehab often, but always resorted back to drugs and lying. He met Leora when she was in college and saw how lost she was, so he preyed on her until he could find better. He used her to build his confidence back and advocated for the refusal of drugs in their household. He met Agnes about a year into their relationship, and while building the relationship with her, left Leora. Since he still needed someone to prey on, but didn't want Agnes to leave him, he kept preying on Leora. He felt helpless and lost as she grew more confident and found Gerry. Agnes got pregnant a year after they started dating so he married her before the baby bumps started showing. This was also when Ari started to get bored with Agnes, and Agnes replaced Leora as prey shortly after the baby was born. However, they are both devout Christians and don't believe in divorce.
