## Biography

Bonnie Barlow was born in Liberty City to her mother Olivia Barlow and her father Rocco D'Angelo. She grew up as an only child in a very rough neighborhood. Even though she was an only child, she had a big family of aunts, uncles and cousins who she often ran around with. Most of her cousins were older than her and all guys, so they taught her how to fight and defend herself at a pretty young age.

Growing up, her dad was absent a lot of the time so she spent more time with her mom. Her parents had never married, so when Bonnie was born, she took her mother's last name instead of her father's. Bonnie's father would often be gone for "business" but she wasn't sure what exactly that entailed. Bonnie's mom would talk ill of her father most of the time, leading Bonnie to believe that her father wasn't exactly the greatest guy in the world so she slowly grew a distaste for him. Bonnie's mother would often be an aggressive drunk, sometimes hitting Bonnie or her father, arguing with people or throwing things. Bonnie experienced this from a young age which slowly developed and fueled an underlying mental disorder that grew to be more of a problem as she got older. In addition to Bonnie's mother being an alcoholic, she was also officially diagnosed as a Schizophrenic, which made it a very "unique" environment for Bonnie to grow up in.

Over the years, Bonnie would often get into trouble both in school and with the police. At the age of 16, she already had multiple theft and battery charges for getting into fights and stealing from local corner stores. With her dad away from home pretty often, her mom would often sit around all day either drinking or gambling with some of her friends, leaving the family broke most of the time. As Bonnie grew older, she noticed her mom had a bad drinking problem and she would often just blame Bonnie's dad for everything even though she was the one gambling the money away. Bonnie started to deal with vivid hallucinations as well as hearing "voices" that weren't actually there. She was convinced she had lost her mind and wasn't sure what was going on but eventually went to see a doctor. She was later diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia around the age of 17. She was prescribed medication to allow her to lessen the symptoms but still deals with vivid hallucinations and voices occassionally. She still takes all the medication to this day and does not like to talk to people about it due to the fact that she thinks people might hold it against her or the fear of people thinking she is "crazy". She can still experience most of the symptoms but they are far less intense while on medication.

When Bonnie turned 18, she had already dropped out of high school and was running around with a small crew that did small time crime jobs around Liberty. Most of the group consisted of her and her cousins which got the attention of her father and her uncles. One night, Bonnie's dad took her out on a drive around the city to show her what kind of work he got involved in, which was work alongside the family which involved higher tier crime gigs. Her dad said if she could prove herself, he would bring her into some jobs and work more closely with him. She realized around this time that her dad wasn't a bad person and wasn't abandoning them, he was just involved in things that can't exactly be discussed at a dinner table, which Bonnie's mom hated.

A year passed and Bonnie had been running around with her dad and getting involved in family business, doing some low to medium tier jobs with her cousins but wasn't officially "in" the "family". People were nervous about bringing her in because she was the only girl that was willing to dive into crime jobs when it was mostly an all male prescence. Around December of 2015, Bonnie received news of her dad being murdered in what seemed like a robbery gone wrong. It wasn't until later that she realized her mom had gone off the deep end and had been on a mix of drugs and alcohol and hired a hitman to kill Bonnie's father because she believed he was stealing Bonnie from her. Bonnie was already hot headed and a bit of a firecracker, so once she realized her mother had done this, she took it into her own hands to solve. Bonnie kidnapped her mother and interrogated her for a few hours, trying to understand why she did what she did and understand her thought process. After talking in circles and realizing her mother had just completely lost it and was mentally unhinged, Bonnie pulled out her father's revolver and landed two in the chest, one in the head, killing her mother almost instantly.

Losing her father and realizing he wasn't a bad guy and losing her mother kind of made Bonnie a bit mentally unstable as well, but she usually just focused it all into her hot-headed attitude which usually resulted in her getting into fights or getting arrested. She started to seem a bit unhinged but she managed to hide it fairly well. With the combination of this plus the underlying paranoid schizophrenia that she was still learning to understand and cope with, some of her family started to worry about her but decided if Bonnie wasn't worried, they weren't either. Bonnie didn't want to be compared to her mother and didn't want to be anything like her, but often found herself comparing her actions to her mothers. After some time had passed, Bonnie had claimed her father's nickname of "Ace" and got her name legally changed to Bonnie D'Angelo, taking her father's last name instead of keeping her mother's last name. Bonnie slowly started becoming more of a loose cannon, ready to fight and get into trouble at any turn and became more of a liability. Her family began to distance themselves from her as she seemed to be "off" but they weren't exactly sure what was happening. She didn't tell anyone else about her diagnosis but continued to stay medicated.

In 2018, Bonnie had taken all her belongings into a backpack and left Liberty City without telling anyone where she was headed. She got a one way ticket to San Andreas and decided to have a new start. She can often be seen roaming the streets of Los Santos, only referring to herself as "Ace" and trying to scam people out of money or doing odd jobs in order to make it by.

In 2021, She caught the attention of Tommy Lombardi and Marco Bianchi with her aggressive behavior and tendancy to stick out from a crowd. She made a mention of her nickname being "Ace" and that she makes money by doing any task given to her with no limitations. After awhile, Tommy and Bonnie had a few talks about how Tommy and Marco had a crew they ran who did a lot of "jobs" in the past, often extorting people for money or bashing people's heads in with baseball bats. This very much intrigued Bonnie and she wanted to get involved. Tommy stated that himself and Marco wanted to start up their crew again in San Andreas called Aces High. They operate under the name of Aces High Security where they offer security to multiple businesses in town. On the not so legal side of things, Aces High also goes around and makes the lives of business owners very difficult by causing destruction and mayhem to their business locations, making it so the businesses require security which would then give Aces High an excuse to come in and extort them for money by being said security.

Most of the time, Bonnie can be found roaming the city with a baseball bat in hand or in her backpack and causing some sort of chaos alongside Tommy Lombardi, Marco Bianchi or Gerson Smalls.
