## Background Information

Cupcake *Auguste* Garibaldi was born on May 21, 1984 to Violet *Auguste* Garibaldi (maiden name Violet *Auguste* Der Clown) and Wilbur *Hobo* Garibaldi both of the traveling Circus Fantasia. Her early years were spent traveling the country and performing in various locations for crowds of all ages. At the age of 24 her parents were killed in a car accident while the circus was traveling through Guernsey City, Guernsey on the way to their next performance. The accident was the result of a car chase between rival gangs and Cupcake has hated gangs and everything they stand for since then.

After the car accident Cupcake woke up restrained to a bed at the hospital. The doctors informed her that she had briefly died but had been revived at the hospital and had been in a semi-comatose state for a week. During that time she had repeatedly lashed out at nurses and visitors while muttering something about shadows. These violent episodes lead to her being restrained. Additionally, the doctors informed her that they had been unable to remove her makeup even with professional makeup removers, this has held true in the years since. She was kept in the hospital an additional month for observation and psychological evaluation then released back to her home at the circus.

Upon her return to the Circus Fantasia the resident fortune-teller, Madame Zennia, took Cupcake under her wing and began to teach her about the paranormal in earnest. As a child Cupcake had spent some time with Madame Zennia learning about fortune-telling and had discovered an innate ability to pull images to mind in a crystal ball. Over the course of a few years Madame Zennia started to become more distant with Cupcake as strange things started happening around the circus. Eventually it came to light that a demon was moving from person to person in the circus causing injuries and damage. Madame Zennia enlisted Cupcake's assistance in performing an exorcism of the demon. Cupcake woke up two days later with no memory of what happened after she lit the candle in the ceremony and was informed by the ringmaster that she was no longer welcome at the Circus Fantasia. All that Madame Zennia would tell her was that the exorcism had failed and that Cupcake should never attempt another exorcism under any circumstances.

After losing the only home she had ever known, Cupcake moved to Los Santos hoping that she could find a new place amongst the hustle and bustle of the city. Little did she know that the paranormal was not done with her.

What Madam Zennia realized and Cupcake has yet to figure out is that her brief time amongst the dead has drawn the attention of shadowy beings from the other side. Her innate talent for the supernatural has made her a target for these beings who wish to make her their agent in the living world or, failing that, ensure her permanent death. Some element of the ghostly realm between life and death has remained with Cupcake since the accident making her a magnet for paranormal activity and vulnerable to things that weaken the supernatural, such as exorcisms. The more she interacts with the paranormal, the more it draws the paranormal to her. Attempts at using her innate abilities make her vulnerable to attack by the shadowy beings that hunt her and that ghostly element within her will lash out violently in an attempt to protect her. Further near-death experiences have strengthened that ghostly side of Cupcake causing her to react more unpredictably when interacting with the paranormal.
