Lacy Marie is 16 years old. She is about five feet and eight inches tall. She resembles her father John very much. She has long blonde hair, and tan skin. She is very smart, mature and responsible. Lacy is one of the top students in her graduating class. Her grades are always As and she has many friends. Lacy lives in a home in the woods, away from her school. Her parents, Marie and John, being pretty wealthy, provided Lacy with much of what she needed so Lacy never had an issue with getting what she wanted.

Things were fine up until the month of Lacy's birthday. A few weeks after Lacy turned 16, her parents finally told her that they could not be with each other anymore. Her Father loved Lacy with all of his heart but could not stand her mother any longer. Things were rough between the two; constantly arguing, ignoring each other, and sometimes, dinner would not be made for Lacy. Lacy was aware of the tensity, as a few weeks before the announcement, Lacy began to come home to arguing and yelling. Sometimes she would find an occasional lamp or two broken as well as mirrors and designed things. But Lacy believed that like all things, this too shall pass. However, that was not the case.

After her parents' divorce, her mother became an alcoholic. Lacy had never really been close with her mom like she was with her dad, but for the school year, she ended up staying with her mom and went to her dads every third weekend. Her father had a house in the cites that he kept secret from her mother, mainly because with making as much money as he did, why not have two houses? Marie would have never let him do that. She was against him spending money on non sense and more for giving money to charities. which John did regularly. Before Marie's addiction started, She was a holy woman. She believed in second chances and helping those in need. She often paid more attention to helping the homeless and volunteering than her own daughter.

Lacy did not talk about a lot of things with her mother, mainly because her mother only gave her what she needed and that was it- as her open time went to those in need and charity cases. Secretly Lacy's mother could not stand to be around her anymore because she is the spitting image of her father, the very man she became to despise. Marie used to love John so much. What a shame their marriage came out to be.
