Tulip Hirst

History

• Biography

  Tulip had a relatively easy childhood. Her parents were farmers out in the middle of a nowhere in a small close knit town, and they never really had to struggle for anything. Her easy life made her a bit of a brat, and around the age of 7, she got into a fight with a wolf that was much larger than she was because he was 'looking at her funny', and nearly died because of it. After her near death experience, she grew very timid and easily wound up, staying inside and becoming more and more withdrawn. Her interest in horror and gore began when she was 16, when pursuing the internet. She saw a rather gruesome news article accompanied with some graphic images, but rather than react with disgust, she wanted to make the images look 'pretty' and 'better'. So she went into a photo editing software and made the image have nice soft colors and glittery effects. It was still a bit off putting, but the feeling of taking the edge off of it gave her a nice feeling of accomplishment.
  
  When she was 18, she staked out on her own, an idea she had been dreading, but her parents insisted it would be good for her. After a number of panic attacks, two good cries on the side of the road and one near death experience, she made it to the city, where she rented an apartment using the funds her parents gave her and enrolled in school.
