## Biography

Riley was born to Bill and Jill Andersen and grew up with their aunts and uncles being heavily involved in their upbringing. Around age 12, they realized they were non-binary when they looked it up online, but didn't tell their family at that time. Riley attended one of Professor Ratigan's lectures and was interested in the information about brain structure correlating to gender identity. When they confided in him about their gender dysphoria and fears of being hurt over it, Ratigan invited them to a movie, so they dressed masculine and went there, but Ratigan raped them on the floor of the theater.

Sometime later, Riley came out to their family. However, they started throwing up and their period was late, so they thought they were pregnant. Riley went to the Palace to ask for help in finding out if they are pregnant and wanted to get an abortion if they were, so Esmeralda took them to Planned Parenthood. They, thankfully, turned out not to be pregnant, and the vomiting and missed period was due to stress. Riley's family eventually learned about what happened to them sometime afterwards.

Later on, God's Will First attacked Riley because they're non-binary, were assumed to have gotten an abortion, and they had a crush on Coraline. Their house was burned down with Coraline still inside and they were taken to the cult's cabin where a rake handle was inserted into them. Riley's uterus was severely damaged, resulting in Dr. Maxwell having to perform an emergency hysterectomy.

## Trivia

* They were the first explicitly nonbinary character introduced to the fic. This is presumably inspired by a common *Inside Out* theory about why Riley has emotions of different genders while all other characters' emotions are the same gender.

Eventually, the police found tapes of Candy abusing Penelope's siblings and he was charged with sexual abuse, but afterwards Penelope wasn't sure if the reason he didn't touch her was because he cared for her deep down or just didn't like her.

"Rose" has spent most of her life as a prisoner of the international trafficking organization known as the Ark. Virtually nothing is known about her true identity at present, save that she was raised by Melanie Fichter, a high-ranking member of the Ark known as "Ms. Dragon", who Rose considers her mother. She was a valuable asset to the Ark, taught to sing, dance, and strip for clients from a young age and her virginity was sold when she was sixteen.

Due to her life in captivity, Rose sees very little wrong with her surroundings, having been brainwashed from infancy to see it all as normal, believing the Ark keeps her and the others safe by giving them important "grown up jobs" by having sex with others. She is, in a kind of messed up way, very kind and polite to others, particularly fond of the children in the warehouse, who she enjoys spending time with, even calming down some of the more "difficult" captives.

Because of her popularity and obedience, she is given a bit more freedom and luxuries compared to the others, actually being allowed to leave the warehouse to search for more clients (albeit with a tracking device in her shoe).

Currently, the Ark has no intention of letting her go.

Several years later, Odette was leaving her shift at the opera house when she heard the nightwatchman accuse Felicie of stealing, so she defended her, saying if she got hurt then he would have to explain himself. Felicie followed her to Regine's home and said she was a runaway, so she let her stay and help her with her duties. When Felicie pretended to be Camille to audition for *The Nutcracker*, Odette was angry at first, but agreed to help her practice. When the ruse was discovered, Regine was about to fire her, but Louis saved her job by letting both girls stay in the auditions, only for Felicie to fail and get sent back to Mr. Luteau's.

Sophie was born blind in one eye and studied astrology so she could become a fortune teller. Her parents were not very supportive of her interests and were very distant, so when they passed away she didn't care too much. Sophie was doing a tarot reading when her client distracted and sedated her before taking her to an Ark warehouse in Austria. She was placed with Ruby and they were forced to rape each other on camera. When the guards tried to drag Ruby off, Sophie told them to stop, so they took out her bad eye and carved a triangle into her palm. Ruby later tried to protect her the same way and got a square cut into her palm. Eventually, Sophie and Ruby had sex to cope, and since one of them is trans, the other got pregnant and gave birth to their daughter, Garnet, who was unfortunately taken away. When the guards realized the warehouse was in danger of being discovered, Sophie was placed on a gondola cart with Ruby to be evacuated, but she grabbed Ruby and they jumped off, making their way to a town where American tourists Rose and Pearl found them and let them stay with them. They found Garnet years later when they ran into her and she remembered them due to a lack of infantile amnesia. Sophie later started going to the Palace with Ruby.

## Biography

Nora grew up on the streets without her parents and realized she was trans around ten or eleven years old. She met Hans Westerguard one day and he let her stay with his family, but he touched her inappropriately, and when she started to go through puberty and began looking male, he made her leave. Later, Nora met Ren when he was sitting by a pond and became friends with him. When she told him about her being homeless, Ren told his uncle and Nora was placed in foster care. A few years later, Nora started at Calisota City University and had criminology with Ren, as well as Jaune Arc and Pyrrha Nikos, the four of them becoming great friends. She was, however, a bit jealous of Pyrrha because she could pass better and could afford hormone treatments, but Pyrrha helped her by asking Professor Ratigan to pay for HRT for her. Later, Nora went out to a club with Pyrrha and saw Hans there. Hans thought she was post-op, so he spiked her drink and attempted to rape her outside, but when he found out she wasn't, he got mad, said he only did that with "real girls", and left her there. Ratigan found Nora crawling out of the bushes and took her to the hospital. Pyrrha went missing during this, but Ratigan promised her, Jaune, and Ren that he would help find her. Nora went to the Palace with Jaune and Ren afterwards, but later found out Ratigan lied and he killed Pyrrha.

## Biography

Telmo was born in Queens, New York to inattentive parents, so his older sister Sawyer watched over him. Officer Charlie Dibble always told his parents off for neglecting him, so he saw Dibble as more of a father than his actual dad. Sometime after Telmo met his best friend Benito Ball, Tony Largo took him and Benito under his wing and taught them how to sell loaded dice to people at the casino. Dibble arrested Tony and the two young boys were sent to the Refuge for Troubled Youths, where they met Romeo Panza, Nick Espanto, Demostenes Unamuno, and Chuan Choo. After they were released, Telmo and his gang began conning people at the casino, but Lou Strickland, the chief of Queens Police Department, framed him for robbing the Zion of Jerusalem Orphanage. He was sent to Rikers Island, where he was abused by inmates, and his gang wanted nothing to do with him even when he got out. Telmo ran away to Calisota and met look-alikes of his gang, whom he gave the same nicknames to cope with losing his old friends. Sawyer met up with him again and made him go to the Palace; after he heard Jack Kelly's story, he reported the Refuge to Dibble. Telmo returned to New York for his mother's funeral and he went to visit his friends, who decided to go with him back to Calisota because they missed him.

## Biography

Gru is a former art thief who had several minions and a business partner named Joseph Nefario. He planned to steal an art piece called "The Moon" from a museum, but needed a keycard to disable the alarms, so he went to Miss Hattie's Home for Girls and adopted Margo, Edith, and Agnes. Gru ignored them for few weeks, but Margo came up to him and offered herself to him to protect her sisters, which just confused him. The girls explained that he adopted them from a sex trafficking warehouse, which horrified him because he had no plans to rape any of them. Gru treated them more like family afterwards, but Dr. Nefario was angry that he was putting his plan on hold, so he went behind Gru's back and returned the girls to Miss Hattie's. Gru went there to get them back, but Victor Perkins already bought them. Later, Stan Pines came to his door with Agnes and Edith, who managed to escape from Victor while Margo was left behind. Not wanting to risk getting Edith and Agnes taken away, Gru went to the Palace with them to find a way to get Margo back.
