Biography[]
Early life[]
Ruth was born in Germany, where she presumably met her husband and where they get married, before moving to the United States, more specifically a farm in Texas. They eventually had a daughter around the 1890s named Pearl.
At an unknown time, Ruth's husband contracted an unknown illness that left him completely paralyzed and required Pearl and Ruth to spend most of their time caring for him, something Ruth is shown to despise.
Pearl and Ruth are implied to always have had a sour relaitonship, with Ruth being strict, domineering and even abusive at times toward her, punishing her harshly and looking down on her dreams to become a chorus girl and get off the farm. Ruth often witnessed her killing innocent farm animals, and it's hinted that Pearl might have hurt another human before.
When Pearl became an adult, Ruth hired a farmhand to help out on the farm named Howard, who fell in love with Pearl, the two eventually marrying.
Pearl[]
Around the time of November 1918, when Howard left to fight in World War I, Pearl was growing more restless of life of the farm, often putting on Ruth's old clothes and daydreaming, until Ruth would catch her and punish her with more chores.
