## History

### **Long Island**

Through her childhood to young adulthood, Hildy grew up closely with her cousin Donnie in Long Island. However as time went on, Hildy grew to be an attractive young woman, so much so, that Donnie was insistent on wanting to actually marry her so he could keep her to himself. He was able to convince her and their family of the legality of first-cousin marriages, which was indeed legal in New York, and she accepted his proposal to marry him. The duo would have two kids, who were physically and mentally healthy and fine. Donnie was able to live off working for Hildy's brother, but sought to have a more fulfilling life; a need that would soon be met.

In 1987, Donnie was able to become friends with their new neighbors, Jordan Belfort. Jordan was a former stock broker on Wall Street, who recently moved to Long Island with his wife Teresa Belfort, where he became exuberantly rich off of penny stocks. Donnie, impressed with Jordan's earnings, quits his job and joins Jordan's pursuits at opening a firm of his own. They are successful, as Stratton Oakmont launches off of scamming it's clients on it's mediocre stocks, being on the fine line of being noticed by the authorities. Hildy however enjoys her new extravagant life, fitting well into the situation and becoming friends with Teresa herself.

### **South Hampton Party**

In 1992, with all the success and money made from the company, Jordan hosts a party in South Hampton for all of his employees and clients, with Donnie and Hildy being attendees at the event. After Jordan makes an impassioned speech to his the party goers, Donnie and him go to the game room, leaving the guests to enjoy the party. Hildy in the meanwhile socializes with Teresa and other guests, reveling in the party while her husband secretly was getting high off of quaaludes. However, both men reappear suddenly, after getting notified that a beautiful model, named Naomi Lapaglia, had arrived to the party. Jordan & Donnie are immediately enamored with her, with Jordan trying to converse with her, while Donnie in his inebriated state tried to wobble alongside to her as well. While Hildy and Teresa are conversing with each other, Teresa takes immediate notice of Jordan trying to flirt with the young blonde, and sends Hildy to usher Jordan to her, in a means to divert any possible ulterior intentions Jordan may have. Hildy abruptly intercuts Jordan and Naomi's conversation, trying to break them off, which Naomi's date, Blair Hollingsworth, as well tries to encourage, due to becoming very annoyed with Jordan's obvious interest in his date. But Hildy's attention is quickly taken elsewhere to her husband, as she is suddenly shocked by seeing Donnie, very openly, masturbating in the middle of the room to Naomi. Hildy goes into a mini rage, and beats him in public for embarrassing himself, pushing Donnie away from the awkward scene, with Naomi being dragged off away as well during the commotion.

Though their meeting was brief, Jordan was quick to try to contact Naomi again, which resulted immediately in them both starting an affair. Teresa was mostly oblivious to this, until finally catching them in a trap, resulting in the two getting a divorce and Jordan moving Naomi into his apartment. Hildy becomes friends with Naomi decidedly fast after the breakup, as though her later friendship with Teresa is unknown, it was most likely pushed aside due to Teresa no longer being in their social circle anymore. Afterwards, with the securing of a lucrative IPO, Jordan decides to marry Naomi in the Bahamas, which both Hildy and Donnie are in attendance and celebration for.

### **Enclosure On Stratton Oakmont**

As quickly as her life became a luxury, it was as equally as quick to fall, as the luck her husband and his company were having was soon to come to an end. The brazen nature of Stratton Oakmont's crimes had now become an interest for the FBI, specifically for one FBI agent, named Patrick Denham. With the authorities enclosing onto her husband and Jordan, the duo decide to relocate their money to Sweden and after and arduous process, are able to transport all of it through a series of convoluted events.

However, a combination of bad luck and ill conceived actions by her husband and coconspirator results in them getting even more pressure by the FBI. After believing they were in the clear after a lengthy battle over issued subpoenas, Jordan and Donnie take their wives to Italy for a restful vacation in the midst of what seemed to be a victory. While on shore, Naomi was contacted about her beloved Aunt Emma having recently died, causing her heavy dismay. Hildy consoles her and takes her back to the yacht, with plans to leave to England to attend her funeral. However, this very Aunt was also the same person Jordan had entrusted as the account holder in the Switzerland, meaning that all his money was now under question of being acquisitioned to the bank itself. After calling Saurel over the litigation of what he needed to do to claim the account, Jordan rather tells Hildy and his grieving wife that they are going to trek their way across the sea to Monaco, and drive to Switzerland. Despite the confused shock of both women to Jordan's indifference of Emma's death, they accompany Jordan on the voyage to Monaco. This voyage however is cut short by an intense storm, that capsizes and destroys Jordan's yacht, leaving them to be rescued by an Italian cruiser. Naomi and Hildy are grateful for being saved and dance with the sailors, leaving Jordan and Donnie contemplative over their almost fatal encounter.

More trouble comes in the way of her husband, as the FBI place Jordan under arrest after Saurel and his account is compromised. In a plea deal for a shortened sentence, Jordan must rat out all of his fellow coconspirators, including Donnie, by wire tapping. Jordan however could not betray Donnie's trust and informs him of the proceeding, which Donnie himself uses to get himself a deal with the FBI as well, realizing their operation is completely over. Both Jordan and Donnie, including many members of Stratton Oakmont are placed under arrest and jailed, with Hildy's former life of luxury coming to a equally plummeting fall as it did when it arose.
