Before college, she lived with her single mother in a rather rocky and dysfunctional relationship. Her mother, Agnetha, is a lot more extroverted than her daughter. Being a gold digger, she frequently moves in and out of mansions owned by lonely rich men. Those relationships never last, however, as her true colors start to show once she has a man in her clutches. Her mother is also a bit cold, calculating and sociopathic; using a plastic front to attract men. Behind closed doors, fights would break out over Agnetha's jealousy of her daughter's intelligence and drive to learn. Agnetha tried to raise her daughter to be a pretty, polished up woman who uses her looks to get her way, instead she got a tomboyish daugther with a passion for math.
