• Father died when she was 11 (shot in a corner store robbery), mother worked three jobs to keep her and her younger brother fed

• By her late thirties, she'd earned enough respect to be Vincent's right hand for financial matters, became the woman they called when the feds started sniffing around
• Never married, never had kids, told herself it was because of the life she leads but honestly she just never met anyone who made her want to try
