Fey is the daughter of Michael Carson, a financially struggling landowner during the American Civil War era. Raised in privilege on her family's plantation, she formed deep childhood bonds with two figures: John, an adoptive sibling or close friend she addressed as "big brother," and Sophia, her personal maid whom she affectionately called "big sister" despite their differing social statuses. Her mother's absence during her upbringing intensified these attachments.

After being sent away to school, Fey returned to the plantation and reunited with John and Sophia. Prior to leaving, she had instructed Sophia to intimately care for John in her absence, reinforcing their interconnected dynamic. Upon her return, Fey engaged in consensual sexual relationships with both, frequently participating in threesomes. She had previously expressed a desire to marry both, reflecting her profound emotional and physical ties to each.

Despite her sexual experiences, Fey maintained a naive and innocent demeanor. This was evident when she nonchalantly interrupted her father during an intimate moment with a maid, showing no visible reaction. Her kindness extended to household staff, particularly Sophia, whom she treated with consistent warmth and respect within their master-servant dynamic.

Her innocence faced imminent threat when Lord Mark, a creditor leveraging her father's debts, demanded Fey be sent to his mansion. This ultimatum forced her removal from the plantation. Accompanied by Sophia, she entered Lord Mark's decadent party atmosphere at his residence. This transition concludes her unresolved narrative, implying impending danger to her well-being at Lord Mark's hands.
