Early Life[edit | edit source]
Mary Ava Weis was born on March 24th, 1993, in Munich, Germany, to Sabrina Weis and Craig Perkins. Before she was six months old, her parents had separated but lived together. When she was three, her father met a Korean woman on a business trip and brought her home and married her. Nine months later, Mary had a sister named Olivia. When Mary was four, she was jealous of the attention Olivia got from her father, so she pushed her one-year old sister down the stairs. Olivia was injured quite badly.
After Mary pushed her younger sister down the stairs, her mother and father decided it was best if Mary was raised separately without him in her life. The two moved to Des Moines, Iowa. Her mother struggled to support Mary as she was now a single mother who worked a job as a receptionist for a shady apartment building and a bartender. Her mother scraped together every penny to get Mary into a local gymnastics club, with the goal of redirecting her aggression.
