Short Bio
Reya was born and raised in Sanctuary along with her identical twin sister, Riley. Up until about their 17th birthday, Reya and Riley had a fairly normal life with their two loving parents. They were raised by a stay-at-home mother who originally came from the big city, and their hard-working father who spent much of his time taking care of the family owned tavern. Things shifted dramatically when their mother was diagnosed with cancer and given only a few months to live. Their mother tried to make the best of it while their father began to spiral into a depression he would never be able to pull himself out of. Riley had always been more reckless than her minutes younger sister, Reya, but began to grow more and more rebellious as time went on. By the time their mother succumbed to her illness, their father had already been deep into drinking his life away. Months later, Reya's twin sister Riley would disappear in the night. She left a note, stating that she had to find something better than this town and their life. Suddenly, Reya was alone.
Although she often dreamt of expanding her horizons, a sense of duty to her family kept her here. While her father fell apart, Reya would step up and take care of their family legacy - The Fox Hole Tavern. Generations of Parker's had lived in Sanctuary and kept their legacy alive through the Fox Hole Tavern, having kept it under family ownership from the very first day of its opening. Reya didn't have the heart to let it fall apart before her eyes as well.
One year ago, Reya's father took his own life. It had been a shock, but Reya had felt that she lost her father long ago. Now, Reya is in full control of the tavern and does her best with it. She loves it and this town, despite everything, and intends to make the best of the cards that life has dealt her.

Occupation
Unemployed - Working on creating her own flower business
Short Bio
Lily grew up in upstate New York living an aristocratic sort of life style. Both of her parents were highly successful business people and provided Lily with everything material that she could have ever needed. Although her life was incredibly stable, her emotionally and physically unavailable parents didn't do much in the way of raising her. Her parental figures were often maids, nannies, and other staff that helped around the massive mansion they lived in.
After taking a year off of school and exploring Europe, Lily went to college at the age of 20. This is where she would meet Nathan Tucker, who would eventually become her fiancé. He was everything her parents could have hoped for. Had a good head on his shoulders, came from a reasonably well-off family, and had plans for the future. They were smitten with each other from the beginning and became engaged four years later, after they both graduated. Their engagement turned out to be extremely long, as Nathan was more focused on his business than starting a family. He had a tech company to create before he could think about anything else, which Lily tried to understand.
Five years later, at 29, they were still not married and Nathan was still focused on work. His business was successful, and Lily worked there with him. However, Lily had become increasingly unhappy over the years. Nathan ignored her much of the time and once again she felt that she was isolated and alone, as it had been with her parents. This eventually leaded to a detrimental decision on Lily's part - she cheated on him with his close business partner.
This affair didn't last long; Nathan quickly discovered the betrayal only a month later. This erupted in a fight that rapidly escalated. Nathan became aggressive and showed a side of himself that Lily had never seen before. Nathan became physically abusive after an hour or more of screaming at each other. He broke two of Lily's ribs and eventually would take a few stabs at her, connecting once along her left inner arm and side of her torso. The final moment was when he got his hands around her throat and began to strangle her.
In a panic, Lily grabbed the knife that had been dropped next to her and stabbed him several times. When he slumped to the ground, bleeding out, she went to the ground with him and stared at his lifeless body - numb. She doesn't remember how long she sat there with him, but after some time she called the police.
The trial over his death took about a month. Her parents paid the best lawyers for the case, and eventually she would be let go on the account of self defense. However, she was required to go to a psychiatric hospital for a 30 day minimum. Since the event, Lily had severe PTSD and began to exhibit delusions, paranoia, panic attacks, and occasional hallucinations. After 30 days, the psychiatric hospital prescribed her anti-psychotic meds and sent her on her way to reintegrate with the world.
Without a word to anyone, Lily impulsively packed up everything that was important to her and took a one way flight to Colorado. Nathan had talked about a small town called Sanctuary before and she had always intended to visit the place that he had once called home for a small time. Something within her told her she had to go, and so she did.

Levi is 6' even and 170lbs. His hair is black, which is often a tussled mess, and he has light blue eyes.
Occupation
Officer at the Police Station
Short Bio
Levi was born in raised in Denver, Colorado which is about a 5 and a half hour drive from Sanctuary. He had a normal life - two loving, middle-class parents who worked their ass off for every dime. He is the eldest of four children; one brother, and two younger sisters. His parents bickered a lot, but nothing was ever a true argument - they had been high school sweethearts and still loved each other dearly. Levi and his family were very blessed, even if life had been difficult at times to keep a roof over their heads.
After college Levi went into the police academy and would graduate at the top of his class there. He got a job at the police station soon after graduation and in about two years he got invited to mentor under their lead detective. He jumped at the opportunity, excited to begin his new path in life.
Somewhere down the line Levi developed a drinking habit, partially due to all the messed up crime scenes he had to witness with his own eyes. One day, he woke up in the drunk tank without a memory of what had happened to him. Turns out he blacked out at a bar and ended up fighting one of the lead police officers on the force. His boss gave him an ultimatum: either he gets fired, or they move him to another unit. He opted for the latter and got assigned to a unit in Sanctuary, which was in need of expansion due to the increase in population recently, which always brought along an increase in crime.
To his dismay he packed up his life, sold his house in Denver, and moved out to Sanctuary - the middle of nowhere. He hated it, but he'd have to learn to love it. After all, he was the one who got himself here.
