Blake Knupp, a complex and enigmatic individual, has a tumultuous background that has shaped her life in significant ways. Her experiences as an orphan and the trials she faced in the haunted confines of the Strangeville Orphanage have left an indelible mark on her existence.

## Appearance and personality

Known for her striking blue eyes and dark brown hair, Blake's appearance reflects a distinct aura of unpredictability. In terms of personality, Blake is often described as erratic and is sometimes labeled as "crazy" by those who struggle to comprehend her unconventional behavior. Her upbringing as an orphan, coupled with the untimely demise of her uncle, compelled Blake to forge her own path in the world. Seeking solace and independence, she made the decision to relocate to Moonlight Mills, where she earned the moniker "Lake Girl."

## Personal life

### Moonlight Mills

During her time in Moonlight Mills, Blake's life took an unexpected turn when she encountered Ezekiel Barnes, her reclusive neighbor. A one-night stand between Blake and Ezekiel resulted in an unplanned pregnancy, leading to the birth of her daughter, Riley Knupp. However, Blake's life took a darker turn when she chose to leave Moonlight Mills behind and settle in the haunted and ominous property in Strangeville.

### Strangeville Haunted Property

Within the walls of the haunted property that served as both a sanctuary and a source of nightmares, Blake cohabited with other individuals, including the elderly woman Evelyn Blake and a group of young residents like Connor Barbosa, Alex Barbosa, Nevaeh Bustamante, and the young child Luis Karapetyan. Trapped in a realm plagued by supernatural occurrences, they bore witness to apparitions, eerie sounds, and the cries of long-departed children, haunted by the tormented spirit of a woman who perpetually menaced them.

Amidst the relentless terrors of the house, Blake's mental instability and distraction caused her to become a negligent mother to her daughter, Riley. Her lack of responsibility, compounded by the stress of their haunted surroundings, hindered her ability to provide the care and attention Riley needed. This period coincided with Blake's time as one of the teenage inhabitants of the property.

In a series of bewildering events, Blake stumbled upon an intimate moment between Nevaeh and her friend Quintin Payne, which sparked a sense of unconventional desire within her. Driven by her erratic nature, Blake expressed a misguided interest in joining the sexual encounter, blurring boundaries in a way that defied societal norms.

In a fateful altercation, Blake's pursuit of unconventional desires took a darker turn when she attempted to seduce both Alex Barbosa and his half-brother, Connor Barbosa. Fueled by a potent mix of anger, negativity, and the house's malevolent energy, an intense argument escalated between Blake and Connor, resulting in a physical altercation, Connor spanked Blake. Nevaeh attempted to intervene, but the situation spiraled out of control.

Severely injured from the altercation, Blake impulsively fled the property, clutching her daughter, Riley. However, Connor followed them because he was worried about Blake running without destination with a toddler, in the midst of the chaos, tragedy struck. Riley started to cry and Blake gave her an apple in the middle of the argument, when she ingested an apple offered by Blake, an act that had unforeseen and devastating consequences. Unbeknownst to Blake, the apple had been contaminated by a toxic substance, the exact nature of which remains uncertain for them and the police, Blake and the households assumed a contamination by Temperance. The contamination resulted in severe poisoning, swiftly robbing Riley of her precious young life, leaving Blake stricken with overwhelming grief and consumed by an all-encompassing sense of guilt for the loss of her daughter.

In the aftermath of her daughter's passing, Blake and the others returned to the haunted property. Over time, Blake's guilt gradually diminished, and her relationship with Connor began to improve. Together, they participated in seance ceremonies led by Nevaeh, hoping to mitigate the malevolent energy that permeated the lot.

Despite the shadows that loomed over her, Blake found solace in her connection with Connor. Their affair, which continued despite their previous violent encounter, resulted in Blake's second pregnancy. Determined to be a better mother this time around, Blake welcomed their daughter, Dayana Knupp, into the world. Though she still grappled with certain irresponsibilities, Blake made earnest efforts to care for her infant daughter, supported by Connor's newfound dedication as a father.

### Arrest

Tragedy struck once again when a fire broke out in the property's kitchen, caused by Evelyn's cooking mishap. In a failed attempt to extinguish the flames, Blake and the others were left helpless, resulting in the loss of Evelyn's life. Fueled by anger and a sense of injustice, Blake lashed out at Nawai Niu, the firefighter whose perceived incompetence led to the tragic outcome. In a fit of rage, she fatally stabbed Nawai.

In the aftermath of the violent act, Blake's confession to the murder of Nawai Niu led to her arrest and subsequent imprisonment in the small Oasis Springs prison. Separated from her daughter, Blake relied on regular visits from Connor, who kept her informed about Dayana's formative years, a period she could not witness firsthand, anyway Connor and the others were trying to find a way to liberate Blake.
