## Biography

### Missouri Moseley: 1959 - 1987

By all accounts, Missouri had a fairly normal childhood. Her father was a jazz musician from Central City who named his girl after the state he had grown up in and her mother was a restaurant manager, running a diner called "Eats" in the Delta City neighborhood of St. Roch. Missouri was fairly popular in school, but focused on her grades rather than her relationships — unlike her younger sister.

Missouri earned a scholarship to Midwestern University in Kansas. She was the first person in her family to go to college. There she attained a degree in political science and after graduation she decided to move to Washington, DC with some college friends to intern as aides for a Congressman from Kansas.

After a few years of working as an aide, Missouri had a firsthand view of the intrinsic bombing of Washington, DC. Though she was outside of the blast radius, the explosion still dropped her to the floor and left her comatose for a month. During her blackout, Missouri experienced disturbing psychic visions, reliving the last moments of life for dozens (or possibly hundreds) of people killed in the explosion.

When Missouri regained consciousness, she moved back home to be with her family.

### Missouri Moseley: 1987 - 1993

Shortly after Missouri's return home, she began to get a handle on her newfound psychic abilities but did so in private out of fear of being labeled as a freak. Missouri worked as a waitress for her mother's diner, working with her sister, but she struggled due to the constant exposure to crowds and the psychic emanations she would get from accidental contact with persons of less-than-savory character.

Missouri was about to quit when she met a man she had pegged for being one of those questionable sort. But the man treated Missouri with respect and even flirted with her a bit. More surprisingly, Missouri found herself flirting back. It had been some time since Missouri had caught herself smiling and giggling like a schoolgirl so she didn't mind it when the man seemed to postpone hitting the road and kept ordering refills for his coffee.

When Missouri's shift was over, the man was waiting for her outside and asked if he could walk her home. Missouri accepted the offer. The two laughed and exchanged proper introductions. The man claimed he loved Missouri's name and wanted to know the story behind it. Missouri told him about her father and then realized she didn't know the man's name. Just as she was about to ask for it, their hands brushed against one another and Missouri saw a frightening psychic impulse of all kinds of horrors.

Frightened by what she had seen, Missouri turned to run from the man. He pursued her, shouting that he could explain and insisting he knew what she was. As Missouri tried to ditch him by running through a park, she was knocked to the ground by someone... or something. Having hit her head, Missouri barely had time to process her imminent demise when the werewolf mounting her suddenly went quiet as a silver knife slashed its throat open from behind, spraying Missouri in the hot blood.

Concussed and drenched in viscera, Missouri was practically catatonic as the wolf was tossed off her as it began to revert to its human form. The man Missouri had been running from was standing over her now, wiping the blood from his blade. Offering a hand, the man helped Missouri back to her feet and as he did, Missouri had a more stable psychic reading which gave her further context to the horrors she had seen before.

Now realizing that this man killed these horrors and saved the lives of people from all walks of life, Missouri apologized for running and thanked the man for being there when she needed him most. The guy was in the middle of lecturing her when Missouri suddenly kissed him, shutting him up. When he found his words again, the man asked her if she often went about kissing men she didn't even know the name of. Missouri smiled and told him that she did know his name. Doubtful, the man asked for proof and Missouri replied "Rufus."

Rufus and Missouri dated for a while, getting together when Rufus' work brought him into town. However, after a year, Missouri decided she wanted to know more about this strange life that Rufus lived. Packing a bag and refusing to take no for an answer, Missouri planted herself in Rufus' passenger seat the next time he hit the road heading out of St. Roch and she didn't look back.

After a few close calls, Missouri and Rufus got hitched. After she and her husband recruited Bobby Singer to the life, Missouri decided to leave the hunting to those who had the stomach for it. Missouri opened a psychic reading business in Keystone in a spare bedroom of her and Rufus' home.

### Missouri Turner: 1993 - 2015

Missouri first met John Winchester on December 17th, 1993, when he came to her for a reading after the death of his wife Mary. Missouri sensed the "hunter's mark" on John and was the one who opened his eyes to 'what was in the dark.' John took Missouri to his house, hoping she could tell him what killed Mary. Unfortunately, Missouri could not tell what it was, just that it was "real evil."

Sensing that John was not going to let this go, Missouri introduced John to Bobby and Rufus. She hoped between the three of them, they could find and dispatch the monster soon and thus allow John to return to life with his boys. However, that was not in the cards.

Some years after John came to Missouri to find the truth, Missouri and Rufus had a daughter of their own. They named their daughter Patience, something both felt they had been lacking up to that point. But as Patience grew older, her parents began to grow apart. Rufus wanted to take Patience on the road with him to train her as a hunter for her protection. Missouri disagreed, thinking the best way to protect her was to keep her away from the paranormal — at least until she got a better grasp on the psychic powers she had likely inherited from her mother.

Ultimately, this argument would lead to the two separating. With Rufus spending most of his time at his hunting cabin and Missouri drawing more distant from the hunter community as a whole.
