Honey O'Riley

**Character Back Story**

Aaron O’Riley migrated to the state of Tennessee from Dundalk, Ireland with his six month old daughter shortly after the death of his long time partner Chloe Finley. Their daughter Honey O’Riley would remember nothing of her mother but be raised by her father as best as he could manage. As she was growing up, her father bounced around from job to job but one thing she always saw and knew in her heart that he would never stop working as hard as he could for her and her future. She saw all his work, even when he wasn’t home at night or missed dance recitals, and she knew that it was for her. When they did get to spend time together Aaron always made the memories great. She looked up to him and loved him.

As she continued to grow up, and times got harder and the cost of living was on the rise, her father was pressured to continue to provide for them. Soon Honey noticed a change in her father, he was hungry for the good things in life. He was tired of slaving day in and day out for the shit hole he lived in and the things he had. Aaron decided to join a local motorcycle club and ran with a dangerous group of men and women to make ends meet. He would sometimes be gone for days and Honey would worry that he was lying in a ditch somewhere. One time, When he did not return home, Honey was forced to do the only thing she knew how to do, call 911. She was hungry and scared of being alone. It turned out her father had caught a charge, possession with intent to distribute a large amount of Heroin.

Honey was immediately taken into Child Protective Services and placed in a foster home. At this foster home she was treated very poorly and the whole experience made her grow up way too fast. It was during this time that she began to feel like she didn’t really belong anywhere in the world, even the one person she always counted on, she couldn’t even see or talk to anymore.

When Honey began high school she was already destined for trouble. Now that she had the access to so many people and resources she knew she could get the things she wanted. She made friends with some of the other misfit students like herself and together they did some questionable things. As a teenager she was involved in many petty gas station heists with some of the college kids she met through her crowd. Soon, people bigger than the petty robbers began to notice her skill and natural ability.

When Honey was 19, her father was released from prison. She sat there, in the parking lot, leaned up against the station wagon she borrowed from a friend for the occasion, wearing her Doc Martens, torn jeans and a flannel that was buttoned up \*just\* enough. When she was the face of the man she remembered was her father she ran to him and hugged him for a long time. They went to a nearby park and sat at a bench and talked for a while where they filled each other in on their respective lives and experiences. Her father was incredibly proud of the little hellion she had become. She felt like she finally had something worth having in her life again, something that gave her hope. Soon the stories came to a natural end and the pair decided to get up and go get something to eat. That’s when her world stopped. A shot rang out and the thud of her fathers already lifeless body hitting the floor was the thing that snapped her into focus. She cried out and tried to hold her father in his last moments but the shot was directly to the middle of the head, she knew he was gone before she even realized what was happening. Once she realized he was already gone she began looking around to see where the shot had come from and who was responsible but only saw a black suv speeding out of the park. Honey called 911 and cooperated trying to find out any details on why this would happen. When the police gave her no answers she decided to take matters into her own hands and go see the men and women in the motorcycle club he ran with to see if they had any answers. Apparently, from what the club knew, while in prison he made enemies with the wrong people and they must have been the ones to take him out when they found out he was being released.

When the president of the club found out who she was and what had happened, he offered her protection. At first, being the stubborn woman she is, Honey said she wouldn’t need it. But the more time she spent talking to the people who knew and loved her father like a brother, she began to also feel that kinship. She decided to take the president up on the offer as long as he knew that she wouldn’t accept handouts and would work for her spot within the club. In the club she flourished and was very successful. But not only was she successful, she was more than that, she was happy. She finally felt like there was a place where she felt like she was meant to be. She had a family. And although she missed her father she knew that he lived on in the patch and in the memories of her and her brother and sisters in leathers. As time went on, times got harder and so did the people. The world got darker and so did the people. Everything that she was naive about was set straight and she truly understood how fucked up the world was. When the club she considered her family decided to disperse and move out she decided to do the same. She still loved them but she knew there were more people out there who saw the world the way she did, and she was going to find them.
