Background
Information
Elaine Marie Bagworth was born in the harsh winter of 1959 in rural England. At 13 Bagworth abandoned all manner of formal learning and opted to live as rough as it can get. It was on the streets that she met and married her first husband.
The rest is history. Mrs. Bagworth has since then survived two other marriages, unscathed, which left her ironically better off.
Mrs. Bagworth lives on a Welsh farm, her Haven as she calls it.
