There was a powerful snowstorm; the wind was howling. Izzy's mother, Ruby, was in labor, and she was in excruciating pain. She had lost her way after leaving her workplace and didn't know where to go. The snowstorm blinded her as she stumbled around. She looked all around for a place to stay and spotted an outdoor restroom. As she entered, she tried to keep warm. She tried calling her husband, Alexander, but the reception was terrible. She started feeling contractions and was howling in pain. She pushed, and pushed, and pushed, and she gave birth to a litter of 8 puppies. She loved them all so much and tried keeping them warm with her coat and scarf. While Ruby and her litter struggled for warmth, she tried cleaning up the mess and the pups. Hours later, the snowstorm stopped. Afterward, Ruby called her husband again, and he responded and said he'd find her as soon as possible. Alexander found her in tears as she was holding her puppies; five were squeaking and yipping, but the others were silent. Alexander was in shock when he saw them and immediately rushed them to the hospital. At the hospital, doctors cared for Ruby and the litter. The three quiet puppies died of hypothermia, while the other five were healthy but weakened from the cold. Ruby was in tears to hear the news, and Alexander was heartbroken. Except, one of their pups was different, one they would go on to name Izzy. Izzy had both male and female parts; which is called hermaphroditism, or intersex. This wasn't very common in litters, but they still loved her anyway. They named the five who survived Izzy, Sapphire, Nicholas, Brody, and Emma. Days later, the family returned home safely and started their new life. 6 years later, Ruby and Alexander were raising wonderful, gorgeous pups right before their eyes. Life was great, and everyone was getting along swell. It was the quintuplets' 6th birthday that day, so they were going to celebrate it with a party and some cake. So, Alexander decided to get a cake from the grocery store for the pups' birthday. At one point, while driving Alexander stopped at a red light. Every other car stopped too; except for one right behind him. It rammed into the back of his pickup truck, and it went flying forward. Alexander was covered in glass and blood as it spilled out of his forehead. Paramedics were called immediately and he was rushed to the ER. With his severe injury, he passed away. After that, the day was terrible. Instead of spending their birthday with their dad, the pups were in the hospital waiting room with their mother. Ruby didn't know how she would provide for the pups. After all, Alexander produced all the income and put food on the table. Ruby's mental health was not good during that time either, but she made a decision. Ruby abandoned her kids and left them. The pups were so upset. They had just lost two of the most important people in their lives. They decided to look for help but ended up in an orphanage. As the years went on, Izzy and her siblings had many foster homes, but none of them worked out. They were all either abusive, neglectful, or just plain terrible. One day, Izzy couldn't take it anymore and decided to run away. She helped her siblings escape too, but they went their separate ways. It was for the best. Currently, Izzy lives in a small apartment and lives a calm, peaceful life. But she has trust issues, so she never socializes or interacts with anyone. Izzy likes it this way though. At least she can keep to herself, and no one will hurt her.
