## Backstory

### Before the Academy

A high school couple, both around 17, were hanging out on October 1st, 1989, when the girl became unexpectedly pregnant and gave birth to a little girl. They named her Farrah, choosing to keep her. They were contacted by Reginald Hargreeves to give up Farrah but they refused. The dad kept Reginald's contact information just in case. They both tried raising Farrah for about two years, but that was when Farrah's powers started surfacing. During tantrums, Farrah would inexplicably change her parents emotions and be forced to leave Farrah to cry for a long time. The dad eventually got sick of Farrah and contacted Reginald to take her away. Her mother, obviously heartbroken, gave her a little lavender blanket and sent her off.

### Before the Sleep

Farrah is one of the 43 babies born on October 1st, 1989. She grew up right alongside her adopted siblings, connecting with all of them equally. Her empath powers started revealing themselves at age 2, but they were fully established by age 6. Her healing powers revealed themselves at age 7. When Sir Reginald made her start her training, she immediately disliked it and complained throughout her many sessions. Her training consisted of a paid group of 5 people standing in front of her. Farrah had to forcibly change their emotions to test out which emotions were deadliest. For her healing training, Farrah would stand alongside Grace in the infirmary and help her siblings with any injuries they had received. However, Farrah would constantly rebel and eventually used her empath powers against her father to get out of training. This left Reginald no choice but to use Grace to sedate 8 year old Farrah when she would get out of control. This led to Farrah losing all her trust towards Grace and the rest of her authority figures. At first, it would terrify Farrah to lose consciousness and she listened to her given orders. From ages 9-15, she would be threatened with the sedation and, depending on the situation, she would or wouldn't listen. Around age 16, Farrah began to not care and would be sedated time and time again for failing to listen to her father's orders. Years of failed training left Sir Reginald frustrated at Number 10 and he decided to punish her.

### The Sleep

During one particular dinner in 2008, Farrah's food was drugged with a heavier than usual sedation. This was one of the first instances of the rest of her family actually seeing how the sedation affected Farrah. She left very faint and weak after her meal and Grace escorted her down to the basement. Grace then put her in a pod chamber to keep her in there. In the pod, the air would be pumped with a serum to keep Farrah asleep but not age, as well as to manipulate her dreams. Throughout the next 10 years, Sir Reginald would experiment on Farrah while she slept through her dreams and nightmares. In Farrah's mind, she would consistently lose control of her dreams due to her father's experiments. At some point in her dream world, she created a friend named Simon that would appear when times were especially bad. Simon was actually a "physical" manifestation of all the good memories floating around in her head. However, Sir Reginald's experiments got to him too and would lash out at Farrah, bringing up all the failures, betrayals, and lies in her short life.

### After the Sleep

In 2018, Sir Reginald decided to wake Farrah from her punishment. For the next 9 months, Farrah would go to physical therapy to relearn how to walk and function as a person again. She was kept away from her siblings when they came back in 2019, watching from the sidelines as she watched her much older siblings try to save the world. She followed them to the 1960s and landed two days before the 1963 apocalypse. She was reunited with her family and went to the Sparrow Timeline, where she currently resides.

## Trivia

* Farrah can stay awake longer than anyone else in the academy.
* In 2018 after her physical therapy, Farrah began writing all the different dreams that she had so she could process them.
* Farrah cannot call Grace "Mom" due to her past trauma with her.
* Any form of sedation or any mention of Grace causes Farrah to go into an episode.
