Paige Posey

**Paige Posey** is a **fucking idiot** as well as a **complete, total imbecile.**

### Relatives

Jebediah Posey (Father)Elizabeth Posey (Mother)

## Appearance

Paige has rather pale skin, though some areas appear slightly darker in tone, giving the impression that she at some point had a farmer's tan. A small, sealed piercing on each ear also implies she once wore earrings. Her forearms and thighs are marked with numerous self-inflicted wounds, all in various stages of healing. She has grey-hazel eyes and brown hair that is shaved down to nothing but rough, uneven stubble. While of about average height, she is extremely underweight, causing her to look lanky and frail.

In more recent appearances, Paige is said to look even paler and thinner than usual, with dark circles under her eyes from exhaustion. She has even said herself that she looks "sickly".

## Background

Paige Posey was born and raised in the small town of Castleberry, Alabama, living on her wealthy family’s estate just at the edge of town. Her father, Jebediah, served as the pastor of the town’s only church, making him a prominent figure in the community, and Paige was expected to uphold his reputation at all times. She was subject to constant emotional abuse from her father which was often backed by religious messages, and always overlooked by the people of the town.

From a young age, her only company (outside of her family) was a young girl named Susanna, whose family happened to own a farm adjacent to her property.  The two were inseparable until the unexpected passing of Susanna’s father, which inevitably caused them to drift apart. After this, Paige was left to spend most of her time in her abusive household.

In her teenage years, Paige began to grow restless, often going against her father’s wishes – cutting her hair, wearing men’s clothing, and other such “unladylike” things that infuriated him. His rage came to a head when she developed a crush on another young woman in the church and attempted to kiss her. After hearing word of this, Jebediah was outraged that his reputation would be tarnished by having what he deemed an “abomination” for a daughter, and made quick work of sending her away to a “church camp” – which was, in reality, a front for a gay conversion therapy program.

While brief, Paige’s stay at the camp left her incredibly scarred, and did little to rid her of the tendencies her father despised. Her mental condition worsened, leading her to self-harm and experience constant nervous breakdowns. Cutting his losses, Jebediah decided to have his daughter committed to a mental institution simply to get her out of his way. The residents of Castleberry have silently agreed to no longer acknowledge her existence.

## Arc Involvement

### Hadley's Revenge

Prior to the events of the arc, Paige spent her young adulthood confined in the Balfour Insane Asylum, spending her days closely watching the other inmates and guards as she plotted a glorious escape to freedom. On the very day she planned to break free, Hadley was admitted to the ward, and Paige was instantly enamored with her. Instead of freeing herself as planned, Paige went out of her way to release Hadley from solitary confinement as well, claiming that she simply did not want to go alone. The two escaped together and took shelter in an abandoned hotel on the outskirts of the city, where Hadley quickly became privy to Paige's not-so-repressed feelings and began using them to her advantage. This began a turbulent relationship in which Paige was constantly made to do horrific things to further Hadley's plans, or risk facing all sorts of torment. She attempted to defect after befriending Dustin, a detective in the FF who offered her help - but in the end, she could not bring herself to leave, and this lead to her inevitable demise when Hadley tossed her out of a window to the ground below.
