== Early life ==

Daniel Robert Larson was born to [[Elisabeth Shimer|Elisabeth Lee Shimer]] and James Larson on November 15th, 1998, in Lancaster, California.

Though little can be definitively said about his childhood, a [https://youtube.com/watch?v=jyCZEd11Hdo 2012 news report on KWGN] regarding his time at the [[Tennyson Center]] (a Colorado-based facility for troubled youth) states that he grew up in an extremely neglectful home. At age 4, Daniel's father tells of a time when Daniel painted on his grandmother's walls, and instead of punishing him, she instead chose to give him M&M's, which, in his father's opinion, enforced Daniel's habits. At about age 11, he was forced to no longer live with his parents, and the next person to serve as Daniel's legal guardian would be the alleged "enforcer of his bad habits," his grandmother, [[Nancy Shimer]], until her death in 2019. By age 14, Daniel was enrolled at the Tennyson Center for children to help rehabilitate and educate him. He had dreams of going to college for film school and music production. After Nancy's death, Daniel was instituted into a state-run group home program for the disabled, where he remained for about two years before alternating between living with other individuals (some disabled, some not) and [[Homeless Arc|living on the streets]]. His tumultuous life story has taken quite the mental toll on him, leading to the insanity we witness today.
