the story behind her

born in texas, lavender spent most of her upbringing in montana on the family's ranch. at a young age, she learned how to ride horses and care for the many animals that were under the family's care. she was easily the kind of person who could move through most social groups with ease, generally liked by most, but her overzealousness can definitely not make her everyone's favorite person to be around. she grew up going to the county fair, showing animals, and participating in the rodeo, making her a bit of rough and tumble. bull riding is still by far one of her favorite activities to take part in. by age eleven, she had a corkboard full of the ribbons that she had received from competitions at the fair and would continue to add ribbons to this board.

the family purchased several hundred acres of land outside of hawkins when lavender was fourteen, the purchased land was given to her eldest sister, sawyer. craving a new sense of adventure, she moved with her sister to indiana, helped get the animals settled, and went to auctions to get more to grow how many they had on the ranch. it was hard for her to be so far away from her parents in the beginning, but she eventually adjusted once she began making friends in middle school.

county fair princess and sunshine incarnate, lavender became a member of the ffa in high school and even joined the cheer team, becoming one of the fliers. she was happy and deeply satisified with her life. though, she always suspected that something was amiss in hawkins, but it was never something she was able to place her finger on. throughout high school, she held a job at a local bakery, which would eventually become her own.

she went back to montana and studied at montana state university, though she never states what she got her degree in. upon completing university, she came back to hawkins and took over owning the bakery and named it after the ranch that she lives on with her sister.
