A faint mewl and the sounds of gurgling were the last of Tammy the cat. She deftly cut Tammy's throat while holding her mouth shut so as not to wake the family. She took a knife from the cutting block and went down to the slumbering creature. With a heart full of trepidation, Mom went into the kitchen where the family cat Tammy slept. Since she was growing to enjoy the company of her foster family she hesitated, and decided to ask the Tarot if the sacrifice had to be human-it "responded" that it could be any sentient being. In the course of her reading, she began to believe that she could revive her parents by sacrificing two others in their place. One night she decided to consult the Tarot for advice. Mom's burgeoning occult interest gave her fuel for her delusions: she read a fictional recreation of the Necronomicon and began to believe that she could bring her parents back from death.
Mom began to dabble in the occult, reading books on pagan religion and seeking solace in the answers of the Tarot. Soon after her parents' death she was placed with a foster family. In response she abandoned her faith in God because of the harsh realities she believed he had dealt to her. She became suicidally depressed and developed severe delusions, believing that God had singled her out for punishment. Emotionally shattered and utterly alone, her mental state rapidly deteriorated. Her life was wonderful until she was fourteen, when her parents were decapitated in a tragic car accident. Mom grew up in a loving Christian household and was homely but intellectually bright. Mom's Background, before "The Binding of Isaac" Obviously this is just my interpretation, but I did do my research and try to base it on things Edmund McMillen has confirmed about the game's story the parts he confirmed that I used as a springboard are down below the story. I wanted to do this before the expansion "Wrath of the Lamb" comes out since it's supposed to reveal (and obfuscate) more of the story than is already there. With the vague story and wealth of themes in Edmund McMillen's fantastic "The Binding of Isaac" I thought it would be a fun thought experiment to try and define the story a little bit more.
