Crystal Larson

## Background

### 1974 - 2016: Crystal Larson

Crystal Larson is the eldest child & only daughter of Franklin & Paula Larson (née Pophouse). As a child, Crystal was on the heavier side with her weight. It didn't have an effect on her life really until her father passed when she was seven. With his gone, Crystal was left vying for the attention of her cold, distant & vain mother. Her mother constantly made note of her weight & belittled her every chance she got.

Crystal began looking for love elsewhere, getting lost in famous & fictional couples. She read romance novels all the time & dreamt of meeting her prince charming one day. When her mom caught her reading one of her stories, she told her that no one would love her when she looked like "that." Crystal took that to heart. All throughout high school, she blamed her lack of boyfriend on her appearance. The summer after she graduated, she began dieting, starving & exercising to try & get the "Hollywood model" look. When fall came around later that year, she had achieved it but at the cost of her ego & sanity.

Crystal got all the attention she had been asking for. But she was not ready for it. Crytal stupidly believed all of the stupid things the boys told her, allowing them to take advantage of her because she thought they were going to be her one true love.

When she turned 21, she got herself a job as a waitress at the Iceberg Lounge, a club not too far from her school. After working there a few months, she was offered a job as one of the dancers due to her good looks. Crystal decided to take the job as it was a pay raise. She quickly caught the attention of the lounge owner, Oswald Cobblepot. Like before, Crystal took to the attenion & soon began an affair with him. She eventually became pregnant with his child & told Oswald, thinking they would be the perfect family. She thought wrong. Oswald sent her away, having her relocated to Hub City & got her as a waitress.

Crystal eventually gave birth to a son, Ethan Larson alone in a hospital. Cobblepot sent her child support under the table, which could not be traced to him by any traditional sources. The money & her job were enough to get them a nice two bedroom apartment. As Ethan grew up, Crystal remained tight lipped on his father's identity. She told them that they had went their seperate ways but he still provided them with financial assistance. After Ethan graduated college, Cobblepot sent one final payment & said that his "fatherly obligations" were now done. Crystal was upset as the money he sent was the only connection she had to him. Bitter, she revealed his identity to Ethan who travelled to Gotham to confront him.
