Bailey Mullen

she and as long as she's known her entire family was born in one small town, she thinks it's some kind of curse and that she'll be stuck there forever, too. bailey has bounced amongst many jobs, a bartender to a shop-keep assistant, before she found her passion in the freedom horseback riding could give and decided opening a ranch was her calling. she's the one to raise and auction most of the towns horses, and although she's never had a particular liking to children, she gives lessons to youngsters in hopes it gives them the opportunity to do the one thing she's spent her life saving cash to achieve; moving out.

her childhood raised her tough, with an alcoholic father dealing out his fair share of open palms and closed fists, she made it her own responsibility to protect and stand by her mum. at 12 bailey filled most after-school days babysitting or doing whatever work townsfolk would let her to rake in enough cash to put food on the table, and prepare to hopefully leave town with her mother. most would say she never got the opportunity to be a kid, she says she didn't want the opportunity. too much time is wasted being ignorant... overindulging in being a child can sprout men like her father, impulsive and immature.

one day she came home from school early, it would be a snowstorm and no work worth cash could be done in that. bailey discovered an enraged father and no mother, the pitiful savings jar bailey and her had spent a few years now filling was gone. her mother had taken it and ran off with another man, is what her father said. she'd never know the truth.
