Biography

Early life

Alice was born in 1965. When she was 18, she found out that she was pregnant, so she married the father of her baby, Javier Mendez. Eventually, Alice gave birth to a son: Gary. ("Guilty")

In 1990, Gary's parents threw a huge party for their son's seventh birthday, inviting the whole grade and hiring a magician. However, during the birthday party, they got into a huge fight in their bedroom and everyone heard them, prompting Gary to understand that their marriage was over. They eventually divorced a couple months later. ("Save the Date")

After the divorce, Gary's mother abandoned her son to her now ex-husband, forcing him to raise Gary alone. ("The Rosary")
