Prospective Parent 2: Daphne Millicent Eustis [24]
[Brief Bio]: Daphne was born in a low class background and spent most of her childhood in Roswell, Georgia. Grew up in a broken home as her parents were rather neglectful of her and focused their energy on verbally attacking each other. At age 11, her mother was convicted of first-degree assault. Since her father was deemed incompetent to care for her, Daphne was sent to Half Moon Bay, California to live with her aunt. She first attended San Francisco State but later transferred to UCLA, where she met Hank. She earned degrees in Comparative Literature and Linguistics and English.
