MARIE, CHANNING R.

- Her life was perfect, it was great, really. She had two brothers, a sister, and her parents were still married. Sure, they had problems, but what family didn't? Everything changed when those things came and took her and her siblings out from her parents. Channing remembers her mother gripping on her clothes, crying as she packed her bag, and a tearful 'I love you.'

She can barely remember most of her childhood, she just remembers that it wasn't good, bouncing from one foster home to another, she was a disposable rag. Every time a family grew tired of her, they'd throw her out, send her to the next family. Some families she remembers better than others, some her nice, like when she lived with an old grandmother who'd knit her sweaters and had seven cats, and some were worse, like when she lived with two stern parents who had their own children terrified of them.

Being an inner city kid, she was able to enter a specialty high school for the arts. Despite changing hands like she was money during her high school, she finally didn't have to change schools. School was a stable and constant element that she needed in her life. Though when someone tried to help her, teacher or student, she'd snap at them. She was angry, she had the tendency to lash out at her peers.

When she was in tenth grade she fell into the wrong crowd from a local high school, and they were all kids with similar backgrounds, they were kids who felt as though they were replaceable. Some were fosters, like Channing, others were just kids with shitty parents. They eventually became the 'punk' crowd. Each had a motorcycle before they got a license, some dealt drugs, other sold their bodies, and some like Channing took to illegal fighting rings; dog fights, cock fighting, and sometimes she'd even throw herself in a match with another person. This was the first idea of 'family,' she had in a long time.

When she was eighteen, still a senior in highschool, she aged out of the system and was kicked out of her last foster home. She moved in with one of her 'family' members, graduated high school, and it dawned on her that she was actually free, even though she didn't have a dollar to her name.

She couldn't go to college, she didn't have the funds and had no idea how loans worked. Though soon, the streets of Detroit started to sicken her, they disgusted her. Scum, just like her walked the streets. She somehow, raised enough money to get her ass out of Detroit and moved to Nova, a place where her name wasn't known for being in the system.

She's been here for about two years, and she's got herself a professional fighting career. She's on TV and everything. She isn't dirt poor.


* detached; a survival tactic, she finds herself rather apathetic to the world around her. she can disconnect herself from her whole life, pretend things are happening to someone else. she also, going along with this, has issues trusting anyone. she thinks everyone wants something from her.
