Dakota Belltower

## Beginnings

### Early life

Dakota was born to a family of five from a small North Dakota town. She had a typical child hood up until she was almost thirteen, when her father started to lose his job, and that's when he started using meth. This addiction continued for two years, before it took a drastic turn on Dakota's 15 birthday when he turned violent after his stash was ruined by Dakota's mother, furious with him that his life was being destroyed by substance abuse. That's when he started flinging anything and everything he can get his hands on, inadvertently killing one of Dakota's brothers and striking her with a metal pan, hospitalizing her with damage to her throat and a severe concussion. That was the last straw for Dakota's mom, so she took her four remaining kids and fled the town, calling the police on the monster that was once loved and sending him to jail.

Unfortunately Dakota's mom couldn't care for four children on her own, so Dakota and another brother were offered for adoption since they were older and knew of the situation better than the other two. So Dakota ended up living with a foster family up until she was old enough to move out in two years. She decided to leave the state, hoping to start anew.

### Law Enforcement

Shortly after leaving high school, Dakota took off for new fields. With her father's life ruined by meth, she wished to prevent substance abuse from tearing families apart, so she pursued a career in law enforcement, eventually attaining the rank of Sheriff before the department was shut down due to budget cuts. She made some good friends along her career as an LEO

### First few days in Green County

Looking for a new adventure, Dakota up and left for the city of Los Santos, hoping to meet back up with Michael Hemsworth, an officer she became good friends with prior. On her second day, she did eventually meet up with Michael, where he helped her get situated and even offered to help her apply to be an officer. In the meantime, he lead her to PD Tow in the meantime, so she could make connections and money prior to her applying.

She worked for PD Tow for a little while, before a situation happened with her mentor, Badde Re. She got concerned for her safety at PD Tow, and took some weeks off to go on a hunting trip up north. This hunting trip will change her path, though. She would eventually run into employees working at Harmony, most notably Seymour Green and Konstantine Petrov. Every day she would stop and offer her lard she would collect from hunting, until Konstantine offered her a job as a mechanic, which she accepted.

### Down a different road

While working at Harmony, Dakota was introduced to a few members of the Lost MC, Seymour and Neon, would influence her into exploring some of the more darker sides of the law. Dakota was on the fence at the moment with Law Enforcement, feeling that the PD let her down in the way they handled Badde's abduction. She slowly let the club influence her into a path as a criminal, upon which she called Michael up and asked that he remove her application as an aspiring LEO.

## The Lost

Slowly, Dakota began warming up to the idea of a life of crime, beginning with racing and cornering weed, to boosting in her early days as a hangaround for the Lost. She spent a few months getting to know the club, upon which she would be prospected shortly after the death of Lui Lobos. Upon earning her Prospect kutte, Dakota was introduced to even more crime, beginning to rob houses and run drugs for the club. She worked hard as she felt she had to prove herself double, considering she was not only a past police officer, but at the time of meeting the club also had an application in to be an officer. But she worked hard, eventually earning her eagle and becoming a full patched member within the Club after months of grueling prospect work.

She was voted in as Secretary to help out Sammy sometime in July.
