Jodi Slayton

## Background

### 1993 - 2011: Jodi Morinaka

Jodi was born as the daughter of Lynn Morinaka. Shortly after her birth, her mother took her & returned to her home of Osaka, Japan. She was raised only by her mother alone as her father never knew of her existence. Jodi lived a simple life through her childhood & into her teenage years.

Shortly after her high school graduation, her mother suddenly passed with no indication of a previous illness. Jodi was shocked & devastated to say the least. Having no immediate family left, she decided to venture out to find the only remaining family she had left: her father. She left her old life in Osaka behind & travelled to the states using the information her mother had given her. The only information she had to go on was his first name, his physical appearance & the city they met in. Luckily for Jodi, her mother had left her heft sum so she used some of her funds to hire a private investigator. Eventually, she was led to the man that was her long lost father... Marc Slayton.
