## Biography

### Background

Foggy was born the son of a simple butcher named Edward Nelson and Rosalind Sharpe, a ruthless attorney from New Jersey. He was abandoned by his mother early on, and his father was left to raise him. Growing up, Foggy rarely ever saw his mother, instead being raised by his father and his stepmother, Anna.

Growing up in Hell's Kitchen, Foggy was always a bright young man and he excelled in school from an early age. He had an academic rivalry with Brett Mahoney that lasted until 6th grade, when he was bumped up three grades and skipped right to high school.

Foggy learned some skills working at his father's butchery, and while his parents expect him to take over the business eventually, he has bigger dreams.

In the summer of 2016, Foggy attended a Theater Camp and developed a love for acting.

## Relationships

### Jessica Jones

A new girl at school, Foggy sits with her in their psychology class. He thinks Jessica is super cool and brave, as she stuck up for him when Mac was teasing him and he has become somewhat attached to her and wants to be her friend.

### Mac Gargan

Foggy's bully, Mac is really the only person that Foggy routinely tries to avoid. The older boy teases him relentlessly, calling him "Piggy Nelson" and subjecting him to a number of embarrassing pranks.

### Matt Murdock

The two have been best friends since Foggy started high school. They seem like an odd pairing, but it works. Matt appreciates that Foggy doesn't treat him like he's fragile, and Foggy appreciates Murdock seeing him as an equal.
