Her father, Vincent Willow was a kind of a loser growing up. He had been poor and seemed to have no direction as he aged. When he fell in love with Annaliese's mother, Teresa, things changed. He found direction but not necessarily a good one. He turned to crime, something people in his family had always done, and ended up leading a drug ring not many years after he got himself involved. Teresa was lied to about this, being told he had finally got a job and turned his life around. She trusted him and each day he pretended to go to "work." ♡ Then Teresa got kidnapped. She was held at ransom by one of the many enemies Vincent had found himself entangled with. He handed over the money as soon as he could whilst his wife had to endure the traumatizing experience of being held at gunpoint during the exchange. After that ordeal, they both had truths to share with each other. Teresa was devastated by Vince's lifestyle and the danger she had been put in that he had neglected to warn her about. She finally told him that she was pregnant at this point. Vincent was too far in to back out now and he was making too much money to turn to anything else. He continued with his antics while Teresa downward spiraled into a depression and grew to be overstricken with paranoia. She stopped leaving the house and lived in constant fear of being used as a pawn. ♡ From the day Annaliese was born, she was also kept in the house most of the time to the point that she was homeschooled all her life. She had not been allowed to have friends or date, leading Annaliese to become a rather quiet and soft-spoken person. Teresa had loved music and made sure her daughter was taught to play the piano just as she was. Annaliese loved music as well and loved the piano. She was a natural virtuoso when it came to instruments. However, her father had been pulling the puppet string in another direction whenever he was home. He had a different approach to danger. Instead of sheltering Annaliese, he wanted to teach her to defend herself. He secretly took her out to shooting ranges and taught her how to properly use a gun. She ended up loving that as well and it brought out a different side of her that her mother would have shrieked at. He bought her video games to further practice her aim and give her things to do when she was cooped up in the house and showed her other genres of music besides classical, which proved to be super helpful when her parents were fighting as often as they did. The one thing the two parents had in common was that they both would be overprotective and treat her like fragile glass, persuading other relatives to do the same by lying to them and saying she was gravely ill. She was very precious to them, but it was clearly to an unhealthy extent. Even after finishing her high school work, they had given her excuse after excuse instead of letting her go to college. ♡ The day came that Vincent was caught in his tracks. He was busted for his drug ring and for his hand in a murder. Annaliese knew she wouldn't be seeing him probably ever again. Her mother's paranoia grew five times worse and she wanted to get out of town as soon as possible. To Annaliese's joy, Teresa could not leave town due to her job being the only source of income they now had. She moved in with her grandma in Sol City, far from all the drama she had experienced growing up in the drama on east coast of the United States. Annaliese was finally able to enroll in Solaris Universatas due to her academic performance. She also got a part-time job at the Wave Arcade since the University sucked out most of her money. Annaliese was excited and ready to live life. However, the girl clearly had no idea just how unprepared socially she was.
