(( Yes, I am introducing an alt under this account, because I am lazy like that))

Bean was the baby of the family, when her mother had the accident that scarred Shade for life.  Bean, wasn't scarred, she was actually okay, the fire department was able to save the toddler before anything terrible happened.  While Shade was off fighting the help put food on the table, Bean and her older brother Pagan were off learning other things.  From an early age she was hunting and fishing across the mountains of Nevada.  It was a simple life, but until her father died when she was eight, it was hers..

Then shit started to happen.  Big sister Shade tried to look in on them, while doing her own bit if hiding, and so did Pagan, but Bean was too little to speak up for herself or fend for herself.  For the next ten years she stayed with Big Clem from the biker gang, well, more like she stayed with Clem's Ol'lady Sara... Sara meant well, and Bean could even see that she meant well, but Clem was an evil drunk with a bad temper.  Things did not go well for Bean from then out.. She was beaten often fed little, and told she was a shit head at least daily.. Sara tried to protect bean, and the other kids, but that usually just lead to Sara getting her ass kicked..

The one joy in Bean's life was when Pagan or Shade would take her out to the woods, to do the things she loved.  During the summer she could often be found out there without a care.  When she pissed off Clem, she would also be out there, but then she had a care.  Either way she was a born survivalist, the skills she learned while in the woods were many..  Everything from tracking game to building things out of nothing.  She tinkered and worked to know how things worked, and what you can and can not eat.  It took Clem a while to cool down, so it was her way of staying alive.

She also watched a lot of TV.. Read comics and when she wasnt in trouble for stealing the comics, she was a pop culture junkie.  She was allowed to watch TV in her room when she wasn't in too much trouble, and even had access to the Internet, which was pirated from the guy down the street.. HarleyFan322 was her handle, Clem thought it was cute, but he didnt realize that she meant Harley Quinn Joker's girlfriend and total nut job.  She would sit for hours watching the images, or reading the comics that she was able to get, paying special attention to the bubbly blonde, who no one took seriously..  Everyone under estimated her, and she wasnt really loved, Bean could relate to Harley.  Bean could relate to the Joker.... So many of the bad guys in her comics were simply... Misunderstood.. They were bored.. They needed something to do.. Bean was bored.. She hated Clem, she hated Sara.. She hated most everything...

When the world went to shit, Bean suddenly was filled with a reason to live.  She watched the reports on the news, and as Clem geared up for some looting action, and Sara screamed and cried that he shouldn't go, Bean plotted.. She took her bow and a quiver of arrows, her hunting hatchet and game knives that Pagan and gave her, and loaded them into a back pack..  Originally, she was going to sneak out the window, but as Clem came into her room naked.. She had a change of heart.. She drew down on the man and put an arrow through his left eye, and then.. Bean started to laugh.. The world suddenly seemed like a happier place as Sara screamed in the middle of the hallway, Bean just laughed...

Everything goes blurry for Bean after that, but she remembers Pagan came and got her, while she loaded up Clem's Harley, which she had painted red and black with a bunch of clothes that weren't hers... She had looted a few costume shops and a Hot topic for new clothes.. a new look for a new time.. and she rode off.. Towards Arklay, towards her big sister and maybe, some more fun...
