Description

Personality

Annette doesn't have much of a personality anymore. Or if she does, it's lost under the years of oppressed living she has endured. She is quiet. Anti-social. Completely and entirely forgettable. She works diligently at her two jobs, but there is nothing remarkable enough about her performance to make her stand out. In every way she is entirely average to the outward onlooker. Save for one redeeming quality. Her rare, but brilliant smile.

At home, Annette is a sweet and loving mother. She dotes on her young son and cares for him deeply. Despite the brutality of her situation, she remains a genuinely kind person; her greatest fault being her extreme reserve and lack of social adequacy.

History

Once a boisterous and bubbly young woman, Annette is now only a shadow of her former self. Lost in the shadow of depression, 'Nettie' can't quite seem to escape.

Raised as a young debutant, Annette remains the only child of the wealthy State Department Bureaucrats Olivia and Ryan Bishop. Placed in the finest schools, given a proper education, she was the poster child for potential success. However, things in her life took a dramatic downward spiral when Annette turned 17. At the start of her senior year of boarding school, Annette ending up the target of a well plotted scandal as she was caught having an affair with one of her male educators. The teacher, Bastian Prichard, denied all allegations, of course, but in the blue-blood circle, rumors were enough to deter all lack of evidence and completely spin a story.

The two were banished from all respectable standing. After being expelled from school, to cater to an already hard situation, two months after the debacle, Annette discovered she was pregnant. The only evidence of a once love-filled affair. Bastian was nowhere to be found. Annette returned home to find her belongings already packed and her family the opposite of a loving haven. Upon refusal of an abortion, she was kicked out of the house, disowned by her own parents, and left without a friend in the world.

By her mother's demands, Annette was provided with the funds of a living trust her grandfather had set up for her, providing her with enough money to finish high school and relocate to Albany, New York. However, to cater to an already hard situation,
Rather than live off the pity funds her parents granted her, Annette was determined to raise her child in a loving home free from harsh demands, guilt and anger. She now works two jobs: one as a daytime stenographer and in the evenings as a waitress at the Bilko Tavern. Her son, Mason Alexander Bishop just turned seven.
