Braddock-Keller Corporation
Michaela was the only daughter to Irish immigrants along with her older brother who had moved out by the time she was able to remember anything. She only recalled fond memories of her childhood, which was the definition of normal. Lots of family picnics, parties, school heart breaks, etc. The Keller family had your average struggles at times, but they always pulled through. The family lived in Hampton, California for all of their immigrated lives and that was also where she met her best friend, Seth Braddock. They had been friends since junior high school ever since Michaela defended him from a group of bullies. They spent all of their time together and nothing seemed to pull them apart, even when they went to the same university.
Both Seth and Michaela went into business with goals of becoming real estate agents; they knew that housing in Hampton was brutal against the poorer communities and tried so hard to mitigate that. They worked at the same agency, despite their difficulties abiding by their personal ethics and sales quotas for work. The pair didn't last long in the business and eventually decided to make the change they wanted to be by creating their own agency.
After quitting their jobs, Seth and Michaela opened up the Braddock-Keller Corporation. It started a small business consulting real estate advice and also aiding families with struggles regarding their homes, but slowly grew over time. Eventually, the pair became a powerhouse in real estate for Hamptonites.
Chance Encounter
One day, Michaela remembered seeing something strange in her mirror. It looked similar to a chip in the glass, but noticed movement within that crack in the mirror. Behind the glass was a man she had never seen before and someone who dressed completely different from her. He clearly had no idea what was going on either, since he appeared shocked to have met her as well. The man introduced himself to be Blythe Hawthorne, a resident from a universe not hers, and explained that he also noticed the crack in his own world when he saw her. The two began to seek each other out every night, talking about their worlds and the connection they share for knowing each other. They learned that they can even touch each other, but both feared to leave their realities without warning.

As Braddock-Keller accrued, Michaela grew more and more proud of their work. She and Seth were aware that their personal ethics were an added obstacles to making them money, but she was happy with their contributions to society. Seth, however, wasn't feeling exactly the same; in order to push forward in his career, he believed that his partner was holding them back. In an attempt to push her out of the business, he spreaded a vicious rumor about her embezzling money from the company and to not trust her selfishness. Michaela's name was the talk of city as she was accused of such a crime; she couldn't believe that her best friend would do this to her.

Nobody knew what happened to her. They couldn't tell if she was murdered, went missing, or ran off to live anonymously. The Saint of Hampton just disappeared without a trace.
