> Hattie was born from a bush into a bush. Her mother Phillis was about to rob a train and thought she was having bathroom troubles. She ran to the bush, but instead of what she expected, Hattie popped out. Phillis left Hattie there and continued to rob the train. Phillis did spare the train conductor and told them where the baby was. Hattie was found and taken to an orphanage where she spent most of her life. She was often referred to as "bush girl". While in the orphanage, the woman who ran it would take all the money the children made from doing chores and buy lavish things, one of which was oysters. Hattie always wanted to try those oysters really badly, which is believed to be why she herself is obsessed with them so much. The woman running the orphanage was also dating a terrible man named Steve. He always wanted to hurt the children at the orphanage, which is how Hattie got the scar over her left eye.

> One night, Hattie had a dream that said if she just took out Steve, everything would be fixed. Hattie followed up on the dream, killed the man, and took his blood. She painted all the trees in the swamps while praying to the goddess Fiona. This seemed to lift the curse of the orphanage and sealed Hattie's fate as a blood witch. Hattie has only told a few people of this, and otherwise, nobody knows.

> Other than the small bits of info Hattie has provided, we know that when Phillis showed back up to the orphanage to get Hattie when she was 10 years old, it was buy one, get one free day. Phillis took Leah home, and they became permanent sisters forever.

> Hattie does have a brother, or someone she met while in the orphanage whom she calls her brother. He also chose the last name Sinclair out of the paper when Hattie did. Hunter left Hattie for the military and was gone for 7 years until they stumbled upon each other by happenstance in Saint Denis in front of the Bastille Saloon.

> Arrival in the Commonwealth
> ---------------------------
>
>
> Hattie arrived in the town of Blackwater naked and afraid. As she wandered the streets, she was drawn to the sound of someone singing, which she could only describe as the voice of an angel. For a short while, her problems eased as she listened to the beautiful music.
>
>
> Once she had calmed down, Hattie managed to make her way to a clothing store and get some clothes. However, clothing became an issue for Hattie, and about 70% of all her money went to buying new outfits. Soon, funds were running low, and Hattie made the decision to stop taking handouts and live on bread and bottled water to get by. During this time, she learned to hunt gators and snapping turtles to earn income and met many people whom she now calls friends and family.
>
>
> In her travels, Hattie discovered her passion for oysters and, through trial and error, created a recipe for a Plate of Oysters, probably the most filling dish in the Commonwealth. If you come across her on the streets, you will probably be confronted by her immediately as she is always peddling her oyster plates to people, although you will be able to tell because she usually smells of oysters. They usually cost 13 dollars, but she will sell them to you for 12.

> Hattie started to lay down roots in Saint Denis and became good friends with the Irish, but that quickly soured as the disorganization, hostility, and drama caused too many issues that made life more difficult than it should be. One person from the Irish family she met was Tommy, and although it's never been 100% confirmed, it does appear they are in some form of relationship. The topic has come up many times between Hattie and Tommy, but a definitive yes or no has ever been given. It has been speculated that the term "It's Complicated" was originally coined by these two, but it was never confirmed. However, after a fight, when Hattie caught Tommy getting a back rub from a hussy, they made their relationship official, and this was also when the couple had their first kiss, with Tommy kissing Hattie on the cheek.

> As of now, Hattie and Tommy have been spending more time in Blackwater, where things seem to be a bit more calm, and they can enjoy themselves.
>

> Hattie often speaks of being cursed, but most people don’t pay attention to her when she says it. Often times, she has observed talking, and nobody can hear her, or sometimes the opposite, and she has ridden alongside others on her horse only to hear their secrets, and they had no clue she was even there.

> At one point, Hattie was so desperate to get rid of the curse that she consulted Mr. Gray, who was one of the few people who believed her about being cursed. He too said he was once cursed, but was cured by the tribe that is now considered to be the Last of the Mohicans. The remedy given to him was to walk into the waters atop a waterfall near the reservation, while talking to a bird about your problems, and eating a berry from the land. When you get swept away, the curse would be lifted at the bottom. However, this was not the case for Hattie. She did as instructed and stepped into the water, but as the water carried her down the falls, she did not make it halfway down and landed face down on flat ground, knocking the wind out of her sails. Still determined, Hattie went back to the top of the waterfall and tried once again. On the second attempt, she slammed into the rocks at the bottom, further securing her belief in the curse and causing severe trauma to her head, which gave her short-term memory loss. She recovered fully when she went up north into the mountains for some self-reflection. To this day, the curse continues, and Hattie can randomly disappear and reappear, or lose her voice, and others around her cannot hear her. It's quite frustrating, but she always manages to laugh it off as the curse being what it is. She now just refers to it as "Hattie's Law."

> On a recent trip to Mexico that went awry and all the horses ran off, she and the group were forced to walk all the way back to the Commonwealth on foot. She let it be known that she suffers from asthma, and her lungs are shrinking.

> Hattie is quickly becoming known across the Commonwealth for her quirkiness and ability to wander off. Sometimes she can be found standing anywhere on anything just dancing for absolutely no reason, with no audible music playing. She has started to pick up the name, or be known as "the oyster girl," which arguably may not be a bad thing. On several occasions, Hattie has been found having a full-blown conversation with a literal brick wall. She claims she is talking to the local people from the Commonwealth, but there is never anyone there.

> Hattie has a criminal persona named Jolene Jewel and has her own backstory, which is incredibly detailed. She is a nomad passing from town to town, trying to figure out what she wants from life. In her travels, she was given a jewel from someone and uses that as a cover story, saying that she is thinking about starting a business called Jewels Jewels. The lawmen find Jewel, aka "Hattie," very approachable, kind, and sweet, and seem to not even second guess anything that comes out of her mouth, even if it's fabricated on the fly.

> On March 10th 1906 during a ride to Blackwater it was discovered by Tommy and Axel that Hattie needs the assistance of glasses, they observed her running into everything and having issues riding in a straight line. She purchased her first pair of glasses and although she was not happy with her appearance the improvements in her riding and ranching abilities were astronomical.

> Although Contacts were invented in 1888 they have not made their way to the Commonwealth just yet so Hattie chooses to not wear her glasses and from what can be observed from the history of time she continued to run into random posts and sometimes in circles always seemingly blaming her horse.
