## Backstory

### Childhood

Mirela Torres was born on November 22nd, 2005, in Elmira, New York. For most of their childhood, the Torres family was poor, with Heloisa working as a school teacher, and Julius working at a fast food restaurant. When her parents couldn't make enough money at their jobs, Mirela would sometimes steal money from school cash registers, her classmates wallets, and donation boxes.

> *"We didn't grow up rich. Both my parents had low paying jobs and couldn't make ends meet. Sometimes, I had to steal from the lunch ladies, my own classmates, and even donation boxes so we could have something to eat. I regret stealing so much, but there wasn't much I could do to get money for my family. A child can't work full-time, you know."* - Mirela to Josefa in "I Got Addicted To A Losing Game"

Due to the financial troubles she faced at home, Mirela didn't grow up with enough toys, or access to educational television. To pass time and prevent boredom, Mirela would write fictional stories in notebooks she got from school and the dollar store. Her stories were short, and involved many different characters and lessons she was taught throughout her school and personal life.

Mirela made only one friend throughout her elementary school years, which was Erik Hayes. Erik enjoyed Mirela's stories and was always interested to hear new ones. He moved to California in 2012, after his parents won the lottery.

Mirela's younger sister, Melissa, was born on May 6th, 2012. After Melissa's birth, Heloisa and Julius were fired from their jobs after going over the allowed amount of maternity leave days. Fortunately, they were able to find jobs a few days after being fired, which paid them more and gave them a livable wage.

### Middle School

In middle school, Mirela began to develop an anxiety disorder, and possible major depressive disorder. She faced bullying throughout her middle school years, due to the fact that she "didn't keep up with trends" and wasn't the cleanest student due to financial insecurities. The constant bullying & symptoms of her mental illnesses led her to lose inspiration in writing stories. Mirela wrote her last story in 8th grade.

### Before fame (freshman and sophomore year of high school)

By the time Mirela became a high school student, Heloisa and Julius found new jobs again, which payed higher than their previous ones. The better pay led the Torres family to move out of their apartment, and into a small, three bedroom, two bathroom house. Mirela faced less bullying during her high school, which improved the severity of her mental health issues.

After her sophomore year of high school. Heloisa and Julius bought a Powerball ticket after a trip to New York City. The jackpot was set at $579 million dollars at the time of purchase. A month before Mirela and Melissa were supposed to be back at school, their parents won the jackpot. With the money won, the Torres family moved to California and hired a maid. Julius bought out drink company Slapstick Inc., and Heloisa became the co-owner of the Los Angeles Lakers.
