Season Steward

Age: 25

Traits: Bookworm, Flirty, Party Animal, Shy, Social Butterfly

---------------------------

Season’s life has not been ideal. Growing up with an absent father has left her both cynical and bitter. Her mother moved them from city to city and house to house, hopping from one lover to the next. Finally settling in Roaring Heights at age 11, she met Angel and the two formed a lifelong bond. That same year, her mother met and fell in love with a local steel worker named Robert Thompson. One year later, the two were married and Season got a new stepfather.

In the beginning, everything seemed fine. But it wasn’t long after the couple said “I do” that Robert’s true nature was revealed. An alcohol addict and abusive man, Season hid many nights crouched in her closet or stealing away next door to avoid her stepfather’s temper. The abuse continued well into her teen years until one night, tragedy struck. Season awoke to find both of her parents dead and a bloody crime scene just steps away from her bedroom door. And if matters couldn’t get much worse, she soon found herself accused of committing the crimes. Now, nine years later, Season has been ordered by the court to continue psychological evaluations as a condition of her release.
