## Background

### **1981 - 2003: Karen Page**

Karen Page is the only daughter & first child of Doctor Paxton Page & his wife, Penelope Page. She & her young brother Kevin were raised by their parents in Fagan Corners, Vermont. While Paxton & Penelope are religious people, their daughter didn't follow these values. Nonetheless, Karen gained notoriety for competing in spelling bees as a young girl. In high school her bright streak continued, earning all A's & she became a cheerleader. Although it was assured Karen would inherit her family's wealth, she sought work to make a name & living for herself. Then her mother passed away from cancer when Karen was sixteen.

Life went dark for the Page family. Paxton drove himself into work, Kevin became a recluse & Karen allowed herself to fall into the wrong crowd. She began dating known drug dealer, Todd Neiman. Believing she was in love, Karen postponed going to college & began selling drugs with Todd.

However, Kevin revealed he re-enrolled Karen in college, leading to an argument between the two. Karen ran off with Todd, getting drunk & high before returning to his trailer to find Kevin burning it down. Todd attacked Kevin but Karen injured Todd to stop him. She quickly drove Kevin away but ended up crashing, killing her brother. Her father used his connections & had the police chief cover up Karen's involvement & say Kevin was alone in the car.

In the wake of all the tragedy, Karen pulled herself together & enrolled at the University of Vermont, hoping some distance would do her & her father good. When she came home, he lashed out at her for her role in Kevin's death. He continued on to say that while he'll finish paying for her college & her apartment, she would not be receiving any money from him following her graduation. Karen returned to school & worked her ass off, while also working a job to save up money after school. She graduated summa cum laude with a GPA of 3.8. Following her graduation, she knew she would not be welcomed back home & moved to New York City.
