Wilhelmina "Billie" Church was born into a snake handling Christian sect in rural Tennessee. Her family's congregation believed Billie was gifted with divine powers of healing and protection as evidenced by the "miracles". She would spend her time drawing her own blood and writing "angelic script" with it. As word spread about her powers, Tennessee State Authorities launched an investigation which resulted in "Billie" taken into custody. Her experience with the State was exceptionally traumatic and included several suicide attempts. She remains paranoid that her cult will come looking for her and has a continuing history of symptoms associated with schizophrenia and disassociated personality disorder. Her past haunts her to this day.
