Mama Mia Capapasosa Sockscalp was born on July 12, 1242 in Furrington, Furria to Mabel and Maurice Sockscalp. She had no siblings. Mabel Sockscalp (née Tiffany) was the daughter of a wealthy business owner, and Maurice came from an honorable line of royal advisers to the King. Mia had a comfortable childhood in the upper-crust of Furrington society, but her parents were often absent due to their extravagant and high-paying careers. This resulted in Mia's distant and off-putting deposition.
Reynolds Robert Redford was born on January 17, 1245 in Sarsaparilla, Furria to Angus and Leah Redford. Reynolds had four older brothers (Rodney, Rowan, Ryan, and Reuben), and two younger sisters (Rita and Ruth). Sarsaparilla is a tiny rural town just west of of Mount Royal National Park, a predominantly agricultural community. The Redford family made their livelihood working on their farm, which was revered as one of the best is Sarsaparilla. In 1258, Sarsaparilla was hit with a deadly tuberculosis outbreak. Most of the Redford family, including Reynolds, contracted the disease. Angus, Rodney, Ryan, Reuben, and Rita all died from tuberculosis in 1258. Out of the family members to catch the disease, Reynolds was the only one to recover fully. Ruth, the youngest Redford child and only remaining daughter, also contracted the illness. After Angus died, Reynolds and his last remaining brother, Rowan (the only Redford child not to get tuberculosis) were forced to run the family farm by themselves. Their mother, Leah, was busy caring for Ruth, whose sickness had only worsened. The tuberculosis outbreak affected most of the other citizens of Sarsaparilla, cutting the population almost in half. The farm's business was dwindling and the remaining Redford family struggled to buy food and clothes. Leah Redford decided to move her family to the big city of Furrington so she and her two sons could get jobs in the booming factory industry of the time. The Redford family left Sarsaparilla in 1262, after years of unsuccessful farm business. Around the same time, it was discovered that Ruth was not actually sick with tuberculosis (which explains how Leah, Reynolds, and Rowan had not contracted it). A doctor diagnosed Ruth which advanced emphysema, brought on by the dust and grime of the family farm. Reynolds, his mother, his brother, and his sister lived in a small tenement and worked in labor-intensive factories, but never get over the poverty line.
Reynolds and Mia met in 1262, just days after Reynolds moved to Furrington. They attended the same school, Walter Tiffany Charter School. Walter Tiffany is the business man who made Mia's mother's family wealthy. (Walter Tiffany is Mabel's grandfather, Mia's great-grandfather.) Mia attended the school for free, due to her relation to the Tiffany family. Reynolds, who was incredibly intelligent, was granted a full-ride scholarship into the school immediately after applying. Mia and Reynolds began dating in late 1262.
In March of 1263, the Furrian War broke out. A long cold war had been brewing between Furria and Samua since the 1240s, for multitudes of reasons. They shared ideological differences (Furria being an absolute monarchy and Samua being a constitutional democracy); The two nations competed for resources off the east coast; They had multiple border disputes. These tense factors hit the breaking point when Furrian King Cave Bear announced in January 1263 that the nation would no longer recognize Samua as its own sovereign state, but a part of Furria, instead. This enraged Samuans, whose staunch national pride resulted in the outbreak of war. During the war, the goal of both countries was to annex the other.
Wartime took a toll on the Redford family. In April, Reynolds and Rowan were both drafted into the Furrian military. Before being deployed, Reynolds proposed to Mia in April, and they were quickly married later that week. Ruth's illness began to improve, and she was able to return to school in 1264.
In May 1265, Reynolds was allowed leave for the War after injuring his arm. After returning home, his arm fully healed, and he was not called back to the military.
Mia's father, Maurice, was furious that Mia married into a poor family. Mabel, however, was happy for her daughter. Sadly, Mabel was killed in 1274 when a mentally ill asylum-escapee opened fire at a Furrington charity auction, which Mabel had hosted herself. His wife's death made Maurice give in, finally accepting Mia and Reynolds' marriage. Mabel's great-granddaughter, Magdalen Florence Mabel Capapasosa Bananomanoman, is named after her.
In October 1265, Rowan Redford was killed in battle. Despite grief over his death, the Redford family rejoiced when the war ended in 1267, Furria annexing Samua. Married couple Mia and Redford, who had been living with Reynolds' family since their marriage, announced plans to move to Yonkers, the recently-obtained formerly-Samuan city that captivated Furrians with its unique culture.
Reynolds' sister, Ruth, made a full recovery from emphysema. Inspired by her childhood illness, Ruth went to college to study to be a doctor. Like her brother, Ruth was very smart. Ruth and Leah lived together in Furrington until Leah died in 1306 from Alzheimer's at the age of 95.
Mia and Reynolds moved to Yonkers in 1268, invigorated with the post-war spirit. Wanting to carry on his family trade, Reynolds bought a farm on the outskirts of the city. Mia, who was not enthused by the idea of a farm, refused to do many of the farm chores. Mia and Reynolds lived on the farm for 17 years.
On August 6, 1284, Mia and Reynolds had their first child, Matilda Grace Redford. In 1285, Mia's father, Maurice, died from cancer. With both parents dead, Mia inherited the full sum of her parents' wealth. This convinced Reynolds to move off the farm, which was later donated to the city of Yonkers and transformed into a city park.
Mia, Reynolds, and Matilda moved into the booming suburbs of Yonkers in 1286. Reynolds worked as a bank teller, and Mia stayed at home with Matilda.
In 1299, Reynolds went missing. The police search did not profit any results, and the investigation was eventually dropped. However, in 1310, Mia and her new husband, Fransisco, found Reynolds' body in Fragile Forest National Park, at what appeared to be a camping site. A later police investigation concluded that Reynolds had gone on a sole camping trip in 1299, gotten lost, and died from starvation. It was never discovered why Reynolds decided to suddenly go on a camping trip alone without telling his family.
Leah and Ruth visited Yonkers in 1299 to attend Reynolds' funeral. Ruth was one of the doctors who performed Reynolds' autopsy in 1310, and she came to the verdict of death by starvation.
Mia's daughter, Matilda, married Murphy Bananomanoman in 1304, and had twin children in 1305. Mia, who had attended law school in the 1290s, got her first job as a small-claims court judge in 1306. In 1309, Mia used her remaining inheritence to create JMN Studios, a production company revolving around Mia's judicial career. This enabled Mia to create Judge Mia, a reality series that followed her job as a judge and her personal life. The show ran until 1311, and became one of the most iconic pieces of modern Furrian culture. In the final episode of the series, "Judge Mia Forever", the producers planned to have Reynolds appear on the series as a figment of Mia's imagination. Mildred Bananomanoman, a distant cousin of Murphy Bananomanoman, was hired to portray Reynolds in the final episode of Mia's TV show.
Mia Redford died in an automobile accident on April 9, 1337.
