Overview
Connie was born on June 15th, 1971. Connie was developmentally challenged according to her stepfather Gordon.[1] She was born deaf and couldn't speak until she had tubes installed in her ears, This specific ailment is what is presumed to be the cause of her developmental disability. Connie met Ruple in the woods while he was hunting rabbits, and according to her uncle was manipulated by Ruple into going into the relationship.[1] While Connie was with Ruple, he was physically abusive towards Connie, which is speculated by Connies family to be the reason behind Cyraxx's premature birth and underlying health issues.[2] She had her first son after marrying Ruple and afterwards had Chance, and both were immediately taken away by the Government almost right after Chance was born.
According to an interview done by William Gloryhole with one of Connie's sisters, Connie was a known compulsive liar and was also notorious for having a habit of scratching her head to the point that she had to have her hands covered with gloves to stop her from damaging her scalp. These 2 traits in particular are noteworthy due to these being key traits of Cyraxx's personality and appearance.
There are rumors that Connie was struggling with a drug and alcohol addiction during pregnancy, and that Chance might have suffered from Fetal Alcohol Syndrome as a result based off his appearance and low intelligence. However, Cyraxx's former step-father, Gordon, claimed on a livestream that Connie was not a drinker. He also noted that Connie was noticeably mentally impaired, hinting that Chance's ailments might be more of genetic nature. Alternatively, Connie could've been taking a drug besides alcohol that caused Chance to be born prematurely without him showing signs of FASD. Regardless, these circumstances definitely contributed to Cyraxx's complicated birth and multiple disabilities, which may have led to him also being taken away by the state. Suffice to say, it was clear that Connie never was mother material.
He was later adopted by Sally, who renamed him Chance. Much like Ruple, Connie had little to no interaction with Chance, nor did she have any love for him. Connie died in a house fire on September 20, 2007, caused by an improperly insulated stovepipe igniting the wall material. At the time of her death, she was 36 years old, and Cyraxx was 17.
