• BackGround

  Morgan was born with the disability Spina Bifida which resulted in several necessary surgeries as a infant to make life tolerable. When her parents learned there was no cure for the disability they were angry with her doctor for not diagnosing it before she'd been born so they could have terminated the pregnancy, they didn't want to be stuck with a child who would require constant care her entire life.
  
  Abandoning her to foster system, and government health care, Morgan was placed with a kind elderly couple for the first six years of her life, they adored her, nurtured her, and taught her to be strong and self sufficient, while paying out the nose for the medications, subsequent surgeries that she would need.
  
  Shortly after starting school and having been told how self sufficient and bright their daughter was, her parents had a change of heart, pulling her out of the foster system she was welcomed into her family home. where she learned she had an older brother, and younger twin sisters. Her parents had no idea what they were getting themselves into though, and it quickly became apparent.
  
  Her younger siblings though young, had a tendency to gang up on Morgan, they liked to push her from her chair, or hide her things where she couldn't reach them. the house they lived in was not accessible either. Her parents made her walk the flight of twenty stairs each day on crutches, saying the exercise was good for her, and admonishing her for being lazy on days that she couldn't. They wanted her to be a normal kid, and constantly held it against her that she wasn't. her older brother likewise encouraged his friends to pick on her at school.
  
  After a tumble down the stairs on a particularly bad day, her parents refused to take her to seek medical attention after hitting her head, accusing her of being melodramatic when she tried to communicate to them that she believed herself to be concussed. This was the straw that broke the camels back, the next day she was hospitalized after she complained to a teacher at school, and her parents neglect resulted in her being removed from the home. Since she was old enough she took over legal guardianship of herself, finishing school a year early through online courses.
  
  Due to her brilliance, and in part thanks to the opportunities her disability provided to her, she was able to afford tuition through scholarship to Manhattan College school of Engineering, which she moved from Connecticut to attend. She flew through her classes with colours, graduating with honors, and settling in to make a name for herself right there in the big city!
