Toddler
Norma Spool was born to Louis and Rita Spool in Spoolville, a tiny village in Sim Nation. Although the village is named after the Spool Family, by the time Norma is born, her family name and wealth was destroyed. Her mother died giving birth to her and she was primarily raised by her father who neglected her.

Childhood
Norma's childhood was very rough. She was abused by her father, who hated the fact that Norma wasn't the boy he desired. Louis also hated that she was also plain looking. The townspeople also despised and picked on Norma because she was considered trash and her family was amongst the poorest in town. In her late childhood, her father remarried again to woman named Patsy, much to Norma's dismay and her new step-mother would help Louis abuse Norma by locking her in closets and feriociously beat her whenever they felt and most times Norma didn't do anything wrong.

Teenage Years
Norma entered her teens as an neurotic depressed teen. Her depression grew deep when Louis and Patsy had a child together, Emma. They treated Emma better than her and because of this Norma never develop an relationship with her half-sister. Norma would meet Sam Bates a popular student at her school. Although he too came from a working class family, Sam was popular and one of the most athletic people in school. It became a shock when people learned popular Sam was now dating the crazy and weird looking Norma. Norma's father also didn't approve of the match feeling that Norma would grow independant and move away from him. He and Norma got in numerous fights over Sam, but the more they fought the more determined Norma was to stay in a relationship with him.

Young Adulthood
Soon as Norma graduated from high school and became a Young Adult, she and Sam married and she moved half-way across town to get as far away from her father as possible. Norma became pregnant soon after and gave birth to a son Norman. Even though the marriage started off perfect, it became to crumble as the Bates's struggled to make ends meets and Sam soon became bored with Norma, often leaving home and sleeping with other women. The marriage took its final toll with the arrival of a teenage Emma. Louis and Patsy died in a car accident and Norma being Emma's only immediate family, she was sent to live with them. By this time Sam had become violent with Norma and Norman and was still going out at night having affairs with other women. Sam soon turned his eye on young naive Emma. Norma would soon learn about Sam's attraction to her sister and she did not take it well. Even though Emma did nothing wrong or inappropiate to Sam, Norma still blamed her for Sam's wandering eye and a big fight ensued. Tired of being unhappy, Norma begin to slowly poison her husband with the food she cooked at home, and begin to save her money from her job at the grocery store. As Sam became deathly sick, she promptly divorced him and left him and Spoolville altogether. She also left her sister to take care of Sam and gave her instructions not to contact under any circumstances.
