OVERALL HISTORY marley lane robinson was always one of those rebellious children. she was born in santa monica to a principal and a school teacher and throughout her life caused as much trouble as she possibly could for them. after barely graduating high school, she took off to san fransisco with a man named david james emerson, that she had only recently met. she cut off all ties with her family, including her younger sister ainsley jane robinson and began her life of being reckless and doing whatever she wanted. it wasn't long after she and david had run off that she wound up pregnant with her first child. at that point in time, they were sharing an apartment in san fransisco and david was working odd jobs while marley was waitressing. the two took a trip to vegas and had a shotgun wedding shortly before their first daughter was born.

apple arley emerson was born on november twenty-seventh. although marley had cut off ties with her family, she managed to send a baby picture or two to her sister, ainsley. apple was raised for the first few years of her life in the small apartment that her parents shared. she was often watched by neighbors or family friends while her parents worked or were out doing other things. by the time she was three years old, her parents had welcomed a second daughter named daisy dahlia emerson. daisy's birth marked the beginning of things going downhill for marley and david. the two were fighting more and more, and they were low on money. their minimum wage jobs just weren't enough to support the family and what they did earn, david either gambled away or used it to buy his drugs. shortly after daisy's first birthday, marley and david took their fighting to the extreme and david took off without another word.

without david's income, marley was left raising the girls with very little money. she took up some extra jobs and eventually got herself into selling drugs. it wasn't exactly legal, but it brought in a good amount of money, enough to live off of. it was also her downfall. marley used about as much as she sold. she spent a lot of time away from home and the kids were left with babysitters or with no one at all. finally, when apple was seven years old, after nearly drowning in the bath tub, child services pulled the two kids out of their home deeming marley as an unfit mother. since marley had little to no contact with her family, the girls were put into the foster system and originally placed in a group home.

the two girls spent two years in the group home and had no contact with their mother. their case worker eventually told them that their mother was serving a prison sentence for possession of drugs. it took awhile, but after the two years, they were finally placed in an actual home with two foster parents that had two kids of their own and another foster child. it was a little bit crowded, but the girls had gotten to stay together and it was far better than living in a group home. after a year and a half in that home, apple and daisy became a bit too much for the foster couple to handle and they were sent back to live in the group home. apple had become quite the trouble maker, and daisy just followed her sister's every movement.

after another six months in the group home, they were sent to another family. each family the two girls went to, something always went wrong. normally, it was apple or daisy acting out and becoming a handful or the couple decided they wanted a younger child. from ages eleven to thirteen for apple, she and daisy had been shuffled between four different foster homes and four completely different school districts. the two never really had enough time in one place to really keep any friends. all they really had were each other and apple did everything she possibly could to look out for her little sister.

when apple turned thirteen years old, she and daisy heard news from their case worker that they would be returning to live with their mother. she had supposedly cleaned up and had a stable job and whatnot. although apple had a bit of disdain for her mother, she and daisy excitedly headed back to their hometown of san fransisco. their life with marley started off really great, but after the first year marley started hitting the drugs and alcohol again. she kept a company of many men and was constantly forgetting about her motherly duties. after forgetting to pick the girls up from school several times and an intense fight between apple and marley, social workers took apple and daisy back into the foster system.

by this time, apple's attitude had gotten out of control. she had become rather violent with her anger and her social worker forced her into therapy sessions to help deal with her anger issues. once the girls had gotten themselves into a new foster home, they had also gotten into a new school. apple had actually managed to make friends for the first time, but they were wrong crowd. she partied and got herself in trouble quite a bit, but luckily the foster parents they had at this point in time were much more willing to deal with the girls. daisy had been doing fine and they knew that apple would eventually get out of the phase, plus they tried to do whatever they could to help her out. when apple turned fifteen years old, she met a boy named jack atwood. he was a year older than in her in school and she believed that she was truly in love with the boy. after all, it was really her first experience with a relationship. he wasn't the best guy though, and after a month of dating, he had pressured her into sex. something she fully regrets.

two months later, she discovered that she was pregnant with his child. this served as the last straw for her foster family. they had put up with her through everything but they couldn't handle her having a child, it just seemed impossible. the family apologized and sent apple and daisy back to the group home they were in. her case worked tried to convince apple to give up the child. she had no way to take care of it, surely adoption was a better option. apple refused though. she knew she couldn't put another child into a system like this. plus, she wanted to keep it, despite not necessarily knowing how she would take care of it. she still had three years before she would be aged out of the foster system, so she figured that would give her enough time to figure things out before she had to start life on her own.

on december sixteenth, winter rae emerson was born. the first two years of her life were spent with apple who was still a resident of a group home. apple couldn't punish her sister anymore for her own actions, so she told daisy that they should separate. daisy was quickly taken by a new foster home while apple remained at the group home with new baby winnie. apple had gotten herself a job waitressing hoping to have enough money to support the two by the time she turned eighteen. when she was finally aged out of the system, when she turned eighteen, she had enough money saved to at least keep them alright temporarily. running out of options, and working a zillion different jobs, she finally decided to search for her mother's family. she knew that her mother had cut off all ties with her family, but she knew that she did have an aunt and a family that lived somewhere close. they may not have been close, but perhaps they would be willing to help them out. it was a long shot, but it was worth a try.

it took a few months, but apple had finally found an address for her aunt, living in santa monica, california. with that, she took herself and baby winter to go see her aunt. it was an awkward meeting and a very long talk, but it turned out that her aunt ainsley had received a few pictures of the girls whenever they had been with marley. ainsley was actually aware of their existence and often wondered about them. aunt ainsley was a family attorney and was living rather lavishly as she had no family of her own yet. apple proposed a deal to her, asking for money to help them live until she could make enough on her own to pay her back. ainsley was thrilled to be helping out, actually and even used her legal connections to get custody of apple's younger sister daisy.

so now, apple is living in her own apartment in santa monica with her four year old daughter, winter. her younger sister daisy is living with their aunt ainsley until she can finish high school. apple is working multiple jobs, saving up as much money as she can to hopefully start her own boutique or to at least pay back her aunt ainsley. neither, she nor her sister daisy have had any contact with their mother in years.
