Mary West

## Background

### 1969 - 1991: Emmaline Brady

Emmaline Mary Brady was born in the small town of Blue Valley, Colorado. At a young age, she began going by her middle name Mary for its simplicity. Mary's family were long standing members of the town. Her grandfather served as mayor, her great uncle William was a football legend & her other great uncle was CEO of one of America's biggest coal mining companies. The Brady family was widely known & loved by their town. Instead of going into politics, her father Daniel & his cousins went into the coal business. While successful with money, he was not as successful in his relationship. Mary's father treated her, her mother & her sister very disrespectfully. Due to the lack of love he received as a child due to his father's occupational devotion, he demanded love & attention from his wife & kids at all times. The arguments & demands led to many marital problems between the two. To take some time apart, her father went on a Carribean cruise without her. It is specualted that he went with his secret lover, who was also the former schoolteacher of his daughters. Unfortuantely, there was an accident & Daniel was presumed lost at sea.

Rima continued raising her daughters herself, eventually getting a job as a secretary at the local police station. Her job led to her crossing paths with police officer Rudolph Valentino, with the two getting married in the following years. When Mary graduated high school, she decided to get far away from her hometown & enrolled at National City University in California. Mary liked life in California, as it was much more fast paced than her hometown. She made many friends her freshman year, becoming especially close to her roommate Venus Blake. Mary became the girl to know after she began dating star football player, Rudy West. Maybe it was the similar name to her stepfather but Mary felt instantly attracted to the boy.

Mary & Rudy continued dating for the next couple of years, with many talks about the future of their relationships. But the future came much earlier than expected when Rudy was drafted to the professional football team, the Blue Valley Mustangs. Though she was a little weary of him being drafted to her hometown, there was the upside that she could visit him & her family in one trip. Mary elected to stay in California until she discovered she was pregnant just weeks after Rudy was drafted. She made the decision to transfer from NCU to Cornelius Blue College to be closer to her family & Rudy, while also receiving the necessary help of raising a child. Mary went on to graduate from Cornelius Blue College with her bachelor's then got married ro Rudy shortly after her graduation.
