Victoria 'Tori' Elaine Sullivan doesn't remember much before being dropped off at the orphanage at six years old, on her birthday no less. other than her often absent father actually being home for her birthday for once, but also being incredibly paranoid. He hurried her out of their shabby apartment, that they had been hiding in after Sully had pissed of the wrong criminal, & Tori stupidly thought he was surprising her for her birthday. She supposes she wasn't so wrong about the surprised part, because she certainly was surprised when he dumped her off at an orphanage. A boy's orphanage too! Luckily the Father & a few of the nuns took pity on the poor girl, after finding her by the front gate, freezing & shaking in her boots for spending a few hours in the freezing rain. They were going to transfer her to a nearby girls home, but she had already been through so much, causing them to make an exception. Especially after her family home, was victim to a terroist attack. Leaving the Mckinnon manor in ruins, & killing everyone inside, including her father, & what would have been her mother had she not run out on them before Tori turned three. But Tori knew the McKinnon's was just a facade, as was her fathers 'untimely demise'. It wasn't the first time he had faked his death afterall. Her mother wasn't the Matriarch of the McKinnon line either, well not anymore. Her mother had been engaged to the sole heir of the McKinnon fortune, until she had a one night stand, that ended with Tori being concieved. Her mother tried raising her for a whole of fifty-months before she decided that was enough, dropping Tori off on her fathers doorsteps, before doing her disapearing act. The McKinnon's didn't know where she went either & were likely innocent bystanders to Tori's parents facades. & now all Tori had to her fake name was the clothes on her back, a letter from her father, her mothers journal, & two unlikely friends in the Morgan brothers... What else could go wrong?
