History: Stacy was your typical teenage misfit, a gothic girl that everyone assumed to be a vampire/satanist. She wore dark shirts with tight black pants or corsets with long skirts and always wore her knee-high combat boots. She was very interested in the occult and the like but never mettled in the dark arts. She was a natural-born clairvoyant and telepath but not much else was special about her. She was a friend of  Peter Hertz's niece, Casey Arena, her polar opposite in personality with strange gifts like herself and thus labeled a misfit herself. The two were very close and meet their "ends" together.

The two friends were hanging out at Casey's while her parents were out of town, showing off their abilities to one another, when a knock came from the front door. Casey, fearing it was one of her neighbors checking on her for her parents and not allowed to have friends over, tells Stacy to hide in the kitchen until she takes care of the neighbor. Stacy, while hiding in the kitchen, hears someone fiddling the back door and quickly hides in the pantry. She watches through a crack in the door and see two men dressed in black enter. They pass the pantry and she attacks the second man with her personal switchblade, slicing his tendon and crippling him but is mortally shot by the other man. Casey managed to grabs weapon in the living room and hide until the first man came in and hits him in the back of the head, knocking him out. She goes to check on Stacy, only to find her almost dead from her injury.

Knowing that she could not be healed back to full health, she quickly runs her upstairs to the attic of her home, revealing her father's workshop. She pulls out a gothic style doll and a book on the work table. After a short ritual, Casey transfers Stacy's soul into the puppet, granting her a second life. She briefly explains this to Stacy then goes to check on the men downstairs but is shot by the man she knocked out earlier. Stacy, in retaliation, uses her knew shadow power and pushes the man down the stairs, causing him to break his neck and die. Stacy then returns the favor to Casey, preforming the same ritual as she did to transfer her spirit into a puppet designed similarly to Casey. The two, understanding that they did not belong there anymore, decide to do the only thing they could think of at the time. Casey writes a note to her parents using her own hand and blood, asking them to send the puppets (herself and Stacy) to Bodega Bay Hotel as a "final request".
