Hallelujah Goodwin was born outside Harmony, San Andreas on May 13, 1996, to religious fundamentalist parents. The oldest daughter of 14 children, Hallelujah spent her early life raising her siblings and studying the Bible. Tired of raising children while she was still a child herself, and unimpressed with the caliber of potential fundamentalist husbands being chosen for her, Hallelujah packed a bag and hitched a ride to a new life in 2018 at the age of 20.
Hallelujah moved to Los Santos in September 2021 from a previous city, with
Leon Kingston. Hal worked for the
Department of Commerce and Labor for a year, was an administrative assistant for the PD for 8 months, and used to run
Nut Buster, a health food restaurant.
