Roxie was born into a family in the south of Italy that was rich in wealth and poor in sense. Her mother, a high-class prostitute, had a sharp tongue and even sharper eyes that could scorn her children with impunity. Her father, the head an incredibly wealthy Ndrangheta family, always had enough snow up his nose that one would be forgiven for thinking they were in the Alps. She spent the first 5 years of her life dressed to the nines and largely unaware of why her parents would get into constant screaming matches, but just certain they would happen. The backdrop of her mother throwing glass bottles at her father's head became normal to her, alongside the never ending conga line of women whose arms would be laced with her father's. Herself and her older brother, Julian, were largely spared from the physical wrath of her mother; her older sister Giuliana, on the other hand, would be an occasional punching bag for Nina to take her resentment out on. Giuliana, the product of Angelo's previous marriage, was not a welcome presence in the family, and Nina made that very clear.

When Roxie was 5 years old, her mother--sick and twisted with bitter hatred towards her father's chronic cheating and absences from the family--took it upon herself to slip a heavy dose of diphenhydramine into each of the childrens' drinks. As they all eventually dozed off, she packed them--and approximately 1 million USD--into a private airplane and made her ambitious escape. Roxie would awaken in a blur, chained down by the overdose, her vision dancing in a circular pattern. First on the plane, then, as her mother slipped her another pill, it would be another 8 hours before she would come to once more. This time in the back of a box truck.

Roxie would spend the next several years in eastern Russia, living a lonely, depraved, and cold life with her mother and siblings. Her mother had moved them to be with her parents; two foreign individuals to Roxie, and a far cry from the warm embrace of her nonna. Despite being financially supported by their daughter, her grandparents felt burdened by the children, finding them to be unwanted pests and making sure they were seen and heard from as little as possible. One day, her mother received an offer she couldn't refuse. For a lump sum of 150 million dollars, Nina would become the permanent addition to a married couple's romantic life. She would live in their home, but never have to lift a finger beyond their desires; and, she'd have all the money in the world to spend on those purses she loved so much.

However, that was only one part of the deal.

Roxie would soon be relocated to the outskirts of Salem, Oregon, on an upscale farm owned and operated by the married couple. There, she would become acquainted with an occasionally revolving door of children going in and out of the foster home attached to the property. Some had been there for a while, while others would only stay a week before being placed elsewhere. She wouldn't understand why until years later. The married couple sat her and her siblings down and laid out some very defined ground rules: About what they will dress like, what items they can and cannot have, how long they must work everyday to earn food, when to wear the bunny ears, and the punishments they will receive for disobedience. Under no circumstances may she leave the gated area. Television and music are for adults only. Children may read and do puzzles, but must excel at doing so. She is not to speak to any guests who she has not been introduced to. She would quickly learn many lessons; about who she is to be, who she is not, how to perform, how to please, how to skin a cow, and perhaps above all, that she is no longer a person.
